[ALT-Plus] Summary Report of GNSO Council 21 July 2022 meeting

[Justine Chew]

All,

Please find below my summary report of the GNSO Council's 21 July 2022
meeting.

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 2022
Matters of Interest
<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/GNSO+Liaison+Report%2C+post-Oct+2021#Jul2022-MOI_Jul2022>
and
the meeting records from GNSO Council Jul 2022 Meeting Records
<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/GNSO+Liaison+Report%2C+post-Oct+2021#Jul2022-Meet_Jul2022>
.


*1. GNSO Guidance Process (GGP) on Applicant Support *

   - Council discussed the draft GGP Initiation Request
   <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-May/025646.html> to
   establish a GGP to start with Applicant Support using a Steering Committee
   (of a representative+observer model) with ultimate oversight by Council,
   given that it received a proposed amendment to the said GPP
   <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-July/025821.html> from Kurt
   Pritz (RySG), primarily regarding the composition of the Steering Committee.
   - Discussion revealed some support for a smaller Steering Committee (or
   Small Team) which does not require strict representation from GNSO SGs/Cs
   but may also invite participation from beyond GNSO (ALAC and GAC who have
   significant interest in the topic) and still call upon any required
   expertise referred to in the SubPro Outputs.
   - Council deferred voting on the submitted motion to its Aug meeting to
   allow opportunity to rework the GPP Initiation Request to take into account
   points from the discussion.

*2. P**olicy Status Report for the Expired Domain Deletion Policy and the
Expired Registration Recovery Policy *

   - Council agree to pursue a light approach to a request for the Policy
   Status Report (PSR) for the Expired Domain Deletion Policy
   <https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/accreditation/eddp> (EDDP)
   and the Expired Registration Recovery Policy
   <https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/consensus-policies/errp>
(ERRP),
   by first requesting for ICANN Compliance data
   <https://features.icann.org/compliance/dashboard/2022/0522/report> and/or
   requesting an update on expiration related complaints from ICANN
   Compliance, and feedback from the RrSG on the EDDP and ERRP, to help
   determine if there are known issues with either of the two policies.
   - These 2 policies affect registrants, so, further understanding is
   needed on whether At-Large's involvement is needed and if so, in what form.

*3. SubPro ODP*

   - Council received the ICANN org SubPro ODP Team's question set #5
   <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-July/025831.html>



Separately a request has been put forward to the GNSO Council Leadership
for a working intersessional meeting during ICANN 75 to cover the following
2 topics:

1. The GNSO Council Small Team on DNS Abuse's work; and


2. The terms of reference for the proposed pilot Holistic Review, being a
recommendation of the ATRT3.



Thanks for reading / your consideration.

ALAC Liaison to the GNSO Council
