*Special Summary Report of 5 Jun 2023 Extraordinary Meeting to ALT-PLUS
<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/GNSO+Liaison+Report%2C+post-Oct+2021#Jun2023E-SumRep_Jun2023E>*
*1. Subsequent Procedures: Outstanding Work, in particular the 38 Pending
Recommendations*
- Since ICANN76 where the *ICANN Board 16 March 2023 Resolution
<https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-resolutions-regular-meeting-of-the-icann-board-16-03-2023-en#section2.a>*
was adopted, Council's SubPro Small Team has completed a triage of the
issues with Board member input on why the Board placed specific
recommendations into a pending status. The most recent Council
discussions on moving the Small Team's work forward are captured
during Council's
Extraordinary Meeting on 4 May
<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/GNSO+Liaison+Report%2C+post-Oct+2021#GNSOLiaisonReport,postOct2021-A-23-05E>
( see report
<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/GNSO+Liaison+Report%2C+post-Oct+2021#May2023E-Show_Jun2023B>
), the Council’s dialogue with the ICANN Board on 22 May
<https://community.icann.org/x/y4lXDg>, and Council's Meeting on 25 May
<https://community.icann.org/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=atlarge&title=A-23-05&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=180028057>
( see report
<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/GNSO+Liaison+Report%2C+post-Oct+2021#May2023-SumRep_May2023>
), which were summarily reported on during the At-Large CPWG call of 31
Mar 2023 <https://community.icann.org/x/WIeZDg>.
- Afterwards, some further tidying up led to 5 landing spots which more
or less mirrors the 4 earlier groups of recommendations. These 5 landing
spots are:
1. Provision of clarifying statement
2. Board non-adoption (meaning that the Board declines to approve
recommendation in its current form and would trigger a process
to generate
a GNSO supplemental recommendation aimed at addressing the
Board's concern
while attempting the preserve the core intention of the original
recommendation)
3. Confirmation that issues can be address as part of implementation
4. Exploring need for a limited Bylaw amendment
5. Modification of recommendations (GNSO Section 16 PDP, which would
involve consultation with a reconstituted SubPro PDP WG)
- Council was briefed on an indicative path for each of these 5 landing
spots ( best to see presentation
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/presentation/gnso-council-subpro-presentation-5jun23-en.pdf>
for details )
- Council also asked to consider a draft combined project plan, which
attempts to address the 4 deliverables requested of Council by the ICANN
Board. For convenience, the 4 deliverables are replicated as follows, as
drawn from the *ICANN Board 16 March 2023 Resolution
<https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-resolutions-regular-meeting-of-the-icann-board-16-03-2023-en#section2.a>*
:
1.
1. A plan and timeline as agreed upon by the ICANN Board and the GNSO
Council for consideration and resolution of all Outputs
contained in Section
B of the Scorecard
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/scorecard-subpro-pdp-board-action-16mar23-en.pdf>
;
2. A working methodology and Implementation Review Team (IRT) work
plan and timeline as agreed upon by ICANN org and the GNSO Council;
3. A GNSO Council project plan and timeline for policy work, or an
alternate path, on how to handle closed generics for the next
round of new
gTLDs; and
4. 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.
*Action by ALAC Liaison*
-
- To monitor and keep sharing updates regarding progress of the
Council Small Team work on the 38 Pending Outputs
- To maintain ALAC positions on the 38 Pending Outputs for purposes
of the pre-ICANN77 ALAC-GNSO Bilateral.
*2. Closed Generics Draft Framework for onward policy process*
- There remains no firm indications at this point on when the draft
framework will actually be released. It was mentioned that a
close-to-complete version could be released after the Closed Generics
Dialogue call on Wed, 7 June, prior to ICANN77 GNSO Day Zero.
- Staff generated a very conservative project plan of 96 weeks assuming
an EPDP is used as the policy development mechanism to produce consensus
policy out the framework. Several councilors against pushed back against
either the 96-week time frame as being too long or the use of an EPDP as
the optimal mechanism.
- Discussions will continue at the Day Zero session on 11 June.
*3. Data accuracy in the context of NIS2*
- NIS2 has a provision on registration data accuracy: Article 28
subsection 3, "*Member States shall require the TLD registries and the
entities providing domain registration services* - those being
registrars, resellers, and privacy proxy services - *to have policies
and procedures including verification procedures in place to ensure that
the database as referred to in paragraph 1 include accurate and complete
information. Member States shall require such policies and procedures to be
publicly available.*" Then there's a corresponding recital, i.e. recital
no. 111, "*Those policies and procedures should take into account to the
extent possible, the standards developed by the multi-stakeholder or
governance structures at the international level.*" (in other words,
ICANN). There is something on accuracy in the RAA version 2013, but it
is possible that that isn't good enough for the European lawmakers.
- The question then arose as to whether GNSO could take some onward
action, given that European national lawmakers are already in the process
of drafting laws to transpose this to international laws, and this
applying equally to gTLDs / GNSO and ccTLDs / ccNSO, to: (a) avoid
fragmentation in the DN marketplace; (b) address potential divergence in
national laws, and (c) avoid friction or major differences in user
experience between generic side and the country-code side when registering
for DNs.
- Council is to take this discussion further in its June 2023 meeting.
Thanks for reading / considering.
