> Dear At-Large Community Members,

>
>
> I hope this message finds you well. Please kindly note the release of the
> ICANN 78 GAC Communique:
>
> https://gac.icann.org/contentMigrated/icann78-hamburg-communique?fbclid=IwAR23hJ2PV5-Rbyx5EmgA-IlEzdSudrp427yKQsXUkLhZthNIc4VK9M0oPYA (and
> attached).
>
>
>
> Here is a summary of the key points discussed in the document, relevant to
> the At-Large:
>
>
>
> 1. Future Rounds of New gTLDs:
>
>    - The GAC acknowledged the Board's decision, as outlined in the
> September Scorecard regarding GAC Advice, to postpone GAC Advice on
> auctions in New gTLDs. This delay was due to ongoing discussions about
> policy recommendations in this area. The GAC also observed that the Board
> had engaged an expert to assess the matter and anticipated ongoing
> collaboration with the Board and the broader community before a final Board
> decision was reached.
>
>    - The GAC emphasized the importance of GAC Consensus Advice and its
> "strong presumption" language in the future Applicant Guidebook.
>
>    - The GAC welcomed efforts to develop the Applicant Support Program and
> stressed the need for support beyond fee reductions, including training and
> assistance for potential applicants.
>
>
>
> 2. Registration Data Request Service (RDRS):
>
> - The GAC welcomed the launch of the voluntary RDRS in November and
> encouraged its members to inform their communities about it.
>
> - The GAC noted that widespread use of the system would help gather
> sufficient data for policy recommendations related to a future System for
> Standardized Access and Disclosure (SSAD) of domain name registration data.
>
> - The GAC supported the idea of requiring registrars to use the RDRS.
>
> - The GAC emphasized the importance of users receiving data about the
> underlying registrant rather than just information related to privacy or
> proxy services.
>
>
>
> 3. Urgent Requests for Disclosure of Registration Data:
>
>    - The GAC supported the separation of Urgent Requests from the
> publication of the Registration Data Consensus Policy and the need for
> discussions on this topic to achieve an outcome acceptable to all parties.
>
>    - The GAC highlighted its concerns about the response time for Urgent
> Requests, particularly the use of "business" days, and emphasizes the need
> to meet public safety considerations.
>
>
>
> 4. DNS Abuse:
>
>    - The GAC urged contracted parties to adopt DNS Abuse amendments to
> establish baseline obligations for gTLD registries and registrars.
>
>    - The GAC noted that its suggestions in the public consultation on
> contract amendments were not fully reflected in the final amendments.
>
>    - The GAC emphasized the importance of proactive monitoring and
> transparency in reporting DNS Abuse, supported by dedicated capacity
> building efforts.
>
>
>
> 5. Transparency and GNSO Statements of Interest:
>
>    - The GAC “strongly supported” transparency at ICANN and expressed
> concerns about proposed exceptions in SOI requirements. It is also looking
> forward to continued engagement with the GNSO, Board, and community on this
> issue.
>
>
>
> Do feel free to review this communique carefully. If you have any
> questions or would like to discuss the content of the communique further,
> please feel free to reach out.
