Yes we do!  That is a weird setup.  And there is a continuing committee of board/GNSO members who will have some kind of role ....

Hi Amr,

I am curious that you mention that the PDP was initiated by the ICANN Board, rather than the GNSO Council, and that the GNSO Council cannot reject it.

For my understanding, that means the PDP was not initated in a bottom-up multi-stakeholder manner.
Does anyone care about this?

Best Regards
Peter

Hi,

So it’s finally here. A preliminary issues report kicking off the policy development process (PDP) for the post Expert Working Group on next generation gTLD registration directory services (aka WHOIS EWG).

This is a PDP that I suspect will keep the NCSG (and other groups within the ICANN community) quite busy over the next couple of years. The deadline to submit a comment on the preliminary issues report is September 6th.

For those who are interested, but not familiar with the GNSO PDP cycle, you can learn more about it here: http://gnso.icann.org/en/basics/consensus-policy/pdp

Note…, this PDP was initiated by the ICANN Board, not the GNSO Council. This means that after a final issues report is published, the GNSO Council cannot reject it. It will have to proceed to a PDP working group.

Thanks.

Amr
