Dear all,
Here is my summary report of the GNSO Council's 20 Jul 2023 meeting, albeit
a pretty long summary. You can also read this report posted at the ALAC
Liaison to the GNSO workspace, or using the links included below.

For brevity, I will just highlight a few things here. For some of the
issues, you can glean a wider perspective from GNSO Council Jul 2023

.
*1. Next Round of New gTLDs / Subsequent Procedures 38 Pending
Recommendations & "Other Dependencies"*
- To recap, the *ICANN Board 16 March 2023 Resolutio
<https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-resolutions-regular-meeting-of-the-icann-board-16-03-2023-en#section2.a>n*
had
requested the GNSO Council to submit 3 of 4 deliverables.
- For convenience, the 3 of 4 deliverables are replicated as follows:

round of new
gTLDs; and
- d. A project plan from the GNSO Internationalized Domain Names
(IDNs) Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) Working Group (WG)
identifying all charter questions that will impact the next Applicant
Guidebook, along with considerations to ensure a consistent
solution on IDN
Variant TLDs with the ccPDP4 on IDN ccTLDs (in accordance with
prior Board Resolution
2019.03.14.09
<https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-resolutions-regular-meeting-of-the-icann-board-14-03-2019-en#2.a>),
and a timeline by when the IDNs EPDP WG will deliver relevant
recommendations to the GNSO Council.
- Immediately after ICANN77, Council submitted to the Board on 15 Jun
2023 the SubPro ICANN77 Deliverables: Workplan and Timeline
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/correspondence/sebastien-ducos-to-tripti-sinha-15jun23-en.pdf>
which
addresses the 3 requested deliverables.
*a. The 38 Pending Recommendations*
- Since after ICANN77, the GNSO Council Small Team on SubPro has
continued to work with the Board SubPro Caucus co-leads, Avri Doria and
Becky Burr, in developing the Council's 2 next sub-deliverables in respect
of the 38 Pending Recommendations. This involves bifurcating the 38
recommendations into 2 broad groups:
-
- *Group (1)* covers Recommendations on the following SubPro Topics
which were assessed and are understood to merely require clarifying
statements by Council for the Board's consideration in context of the
Board's concerns, in order to facilitate their adoption by the Board.
***
- Topic 3: Applications Assessed in Rounds - Recommendations
3.1,3.2, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7
- Topic 6: Registry Service Provider Pre-Evaluation -
Recommendation 6.8
- Topic 9: Registry Voluntary Commitments / Public Interest
Commitments - Recommendations 9.1, 9.4, 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.12,
9.13, 9.15
- Topic 26: Security and Stability - Recommendation 26.9
- Topic 29: Name Collision - Recommendation 29.1
- Topic 30: GAC Consensus Advice and GAC Early Warning -
Recommendation 30.7
- Topic 31: Objections - Recommendations 31.16, 31.17
- Topic 34: Community Applications - Recommendation 34.12
- Topic 35: Auctions - Recommendations 35.3, 35.5
- The complete Clarifying Statement produced for Group (1)
recommendations can be viewed via this link
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/draft/draft-sub-pro-pending-recommendations-10jul23-en.pdf>
.
*Action by ALAC Liaison*
-
-
- To participate in Small Team to ensure clarifying statement
captures existing ALAC positions, as relevant/needed.
-
- *Group (2)* covers the remaining pending recommendations for which
the Council Small Team will continue to work on in light of the clear
signal by the Board SubPro Caucus co-leads that the Board will very
likely decline to adopt as they currently read. The Small Team's scope of
work here includes considering whether such recommendations should be
revised, and if so, how - either through the 'GNSO Operating Procedures
section 16' path (which would involve reconvening the SubPro PDP WG), or
through a 'Supplemental Recommendation' path for which Council
will need to
determine the mechanism to produce such supplemental recommendation.
*Action by ALAC Liaison*
-
-
- To continue to participate in Small Team to ensure clarifying
statement captures existing ALAC positions, as relevant/needed, or to
advocate for the inclusion of input outside of GNSO where
Council opts for
the 'Supplemental Recommendation' path.
-
- ***To note that I have previously reported, that the list of
recommendations in group (1) versus group (2) continues to evolve over
time; compare with as at ICANN77
<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/GNSO+Liaison+Report%2C+post-Oct+2021#GNSOLiaisonReport,postOct2021-A-23-06-38>
*c. Draft Closed Generics Framework*
-
- Council received a cursory update on where the Draft Closed
Generics Framework stands and informed that the GAC-GNSO-ALAC Dialogue
small team will reconvene to review the community comments received in
response to the request for comments on the Draft Closed Generics
Framework <https://community.icann.org/x/Io6ZDg> which closed on 15
Jul 2023.
*d. Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) Expedited Policy Development
Process (EPDP)*
-
- As reported in Jun 2023, the IDNs EPDP WG was already taking steps
to improve its timeline to expedite completion of its work well ahead of
its original Nov 2025 target.
- The WG Chair presented a revised project plan
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/presentation/epdp-idns-p2-project-plan-timeline-20jul23-en.pdf>
which
shaves 13 months off the earlier timeline. The key milestones
for this EPDP
are now as follows:
- Phase 1 Final Report remains expected to be delivered to Council
in Nov 2023
- Council then considers this Phase 1 Final Report and decides on
the adoption of report and recommendations
- Phase 2 Initial Report is expected to be published for public
comment in *Apr 2024* (vs May 2025 earlier)
- Phase 2 Final Report is expected to be delivered to Council in *Oct
2024* (vs Nov 2025 earlier)
- Council then considers this Phase 2 Final Report and decides on
the adoption of report and recommendations
- Assumptions for this revised project plan must hold for the EPDP to
meet the new milestone dates:
- Progress to be achieved via multiple sessions during ICANN78
(similar to ICANN77)
- A planned F2F workshop scheduled for early Dec 2023
- No change to the EPDP Charter / scope of quarter questions
*2. Data Accuracy in the context of NIS2 & Registration Data Accuracy
Scoping Team*
*Accuracy*
- Council continued to discuss what should or could be done in light of
the European Union's Second Network and Information Systems Directive
(“NIS2”) entered into force on 16 January 2023, particularly regarding
Article 28, subsection 3 referencing the need for Member States to require
that "(accuracy) policies and procedures should take into account to the
extent possible the standards developed by the multi-stakeholder governance
structures at the international level."
- There was no clear agreement on matters of protocol - ie. whether it
would be more appropriate for ICANN org or ICANN Board to address the EU or
for GNSO Council to address the GAC, and the EC representative
specifically, to inform of the work already or being undertaken by ICANN in
this area. This was to be referred to Council's communication small team
for consideration.
*Data Accuracy Scoping Team*
- Council continues to await an update on the status of
negotiations Data Processing Agreement (DPA) negotiations between ICANN org
and Contracted Parties and resolved
<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+2023-07-20>
to
extend deferral of consideration of recommendations #1 and #2 of the
Registration Data Accuracy Scoping Team write up
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/correspondence/palage-et-al-to-gnso-council-rda-assignments-et-al-05sep22-en..pdf>
for
another six months or at an earlier date if the DPA negotiations have been
completed before six months have passed and/or there is feedback from ICANN
org if/how it anticipates the requesting and processing of registration
data will be undertaken in the context of measuring accuracy.
*3. Operational Design Phase (ODP) and Operational Design Assessment (ODA)*
- Council was given a presentation
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/presentation/odp-liaison-oda-small-team-survey-feedback-20jul23-en.pdf>
on
the results of a survey conducted with the 2 GNSO liaisons to 2 completed
ODP (SSAD and SubPro) as well as members of the 2 small teams (SSAD and
SubPro) and was informed that ICANN org will be conducting an upcoming
community consultation to obtain feedback on the ODP process.
- To note that ICANN org intends to incorporate (possibly formalize) the
ODP process into the CPIF - Consensus Policy Implementation Framework
<https://www.icann.org/policy/implementation>.
*Action by ALAC Liaison*
-
- To alert the ALAC/At-Large on details of ICANN org's upcoming
community consultation when they become available
Thanks for reading / considering.
