>    <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 now completed a triage of the
>    issues with Board member input on why the Board placed specific
>    recommendations into a pending status. Council discussed the main
>    output of that triage effort, the proposed paths forward for each pending
>    recommendation, during an Extraordinary Meeting on 4 May
>    <https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/GNSO+Liaison+Report%2C+post-Oct+2021#GNSOLiaisonReport,postOct2021-A-23-05E>

>    <https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/GNSO+Liaison+Report%2C+post-Oct+2021#May2023E-Show_Jun2023B> ).
>    During that meeting, Council agreed to further task the small team with
>    taking interim steps (e.g., provision is clarifying information, developing
>    speaking points) in order to support the Council’s dialogue with the
>    ICANN Board on 22 May <https://community.icann.org/x/y4lXDg>.
>    - The important thing to note here is that this Council dialogue with
>    the ICANN Board SubPro caucus and/or ICANN Board is ongoing as the goal is
>    to try and resolve as many of those 38 pending recommendations as possible
>    without resulting in the ICANN Board rejecting them. This inevitably
>    necessitates rather regular updates because information may change quickly.
>
>
> *Action by ALAC Liaison*To assist in formulating ALAC positions on the 38
> Pending Outputs (if any) in time for the pre-ICANN77 ALAC-GNSO Bilateral.
>
> *2. Closed Generics*
>
>    - The GNSO-GAC-ALAC Closed Generics Dialogue is expected to deliver a
>    draft framework, if agreed, around or just after 31 May 2023. It should be
>    noted that this draft framework is meant to draw some boundaries on how to
>    introduce closed generics in the next round and it will have to go through
>    a GNSO policy development process to produce actual consensus policy, which
>    is expected to take 18 months.
>    - GNSO Council leadership has proposed that EPDP be the policy
>    development mechanism to take the framework forward, and although not
>    confirmed, will likely be cross-community in nature. The proposition of an
>    EPDP drew some apprehension from several councilors.
>    - So far, the Dialogue has adopted Chatham House Rule so we will not
>    know the actual contents of the framework until it is released circa end
>    May.
>    - However, I understand that the framework will likely include some
>    reference to application questions, evaluation, post delegation - registry
>    agreement aspects, and can be easily morph into a charter for the policy
>    development process.
>
> *3. DNS Abuse*
>
>    - Council ran out of time at its call, so the adoption of the
>    Council's Small Team on DNS Abuse's next output i.e. feedback on bulk
>    registrations
>    <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/draft/draft-dns-abuse-small-team-findings-15may23-en.pdf> will
>    be done on Council's mail list by around 5 Jun.
>
>
> *Action by ALAC Liaison*To assist in formulating ALAC positions on the 38
> Pending Outputs (if any) in time for the pre-ICANN77 ALAC-GNSO Bilateral.
>
> *4. EPDP Phase 2 - Registration Data Request Service (RDRS)*
>
>    - The EPDP Phase 2 Small Team has formulated success criteria for RDRS
>    but these are not set in stone. They need to remain flexible as and when
>    the RDRS is implemented and tested so they can be adjusted to meet market
>    needs.
>    - The small team has pushed back against the Board's suggestion to
>    have a policy process to compel mandatory adoption of usage of the RDRS by
>    registrars.
>
> *5. Registration Data Accuracy*
>
>    - Seeing no progress on this, Council will defer consideration of this
>    till the June meeting. This is also in light of some work being attempted
>    at the European Union level with a survey and a report but the meeting for
>    that had just been cancelled.
>    - Some councilors expressed concern with indefinite delay / inaction
>    on this area of work.
>
> *6. Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) EPDP*
>
>    - This EPDP has submitted a project plan which identifies all its
>    charter questions that will impact the next Applicant Guidebook (AGB),
>    along with considerations to ensure a consistent solution on IDN Variant
>    TLDs with the ccPDP4 on IDN ccTLDs, and a timeline by when the IDNs EPDP
>    will deliver relevant recommendations to the GNSO Council (this was 1 of 4
>    requests made by the Board, as a result of the adopted *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>*
>    ,
>    - In short, the EPDP has analysed their Phase 2 charter questions and
>    found no significant efficiency if it were to further break down Phase 2
>    work in order to deliver some recommendations which would impact the AGB
>    and Registry Agreement update.  Adding any  additional public comment
>    process would prolong the project timeline unnecessarily. As such, the
>    expected timeline is, conservatively:
>       - Phase 1 Final Report: 10 Nov 2023
>       - Phase 2 Initial Report:  18 Apr 2025
>       - Phase 2 Final Report: 24 Oct 2025
>    - In the meantime, the EPDP will continue to find ways to achieve
>    greater efficiencies through more preparatory work, considering
>    foundational issues, and securing more sessions at ICANN F2F meetings and a
>    dedicated F2F meeting in Nov-Dec 2023, while bearing in mind the need to
>    minimize churn/burnout/drop in participation. As it is, this EPDP is
>    already meeting 2 hours per week and already seeking ICANN org GDS input on
>    draft recommendations and implementation guidance as deliberations go on
>    instead of waiting until the ICANN Board approves them.
>
> *7. Nominating Committee rebalancing*
>
>    - Council will set up a small team to consider Council's response to
>    the issue of NomCom rebalancing.
