Subject: RE: [ALT-Plus] Summary Report of GNSO Council 25 May 2023 meeting
Dear Justine,
Thank you for this extensive report.
With regards to:
Registration data Accuracy
Do you think that the next round of gTLDs could happen without having any policy recommendations with regard to registration data accuracy? Could new registration data accuracy requirements if desired be part of some contract negotiations without actually going through a policy development process?
With regard to the 38 pending recommendations: I guess you want us all to go through the recommendations and have an idea about the positions the ALAC might want to take.
Thanks again
Hadia

Subject: [ALT-Plus] Summary Report of GNSO Council 25 May 2023 meeting
All,
In an unusual turn of events, I am submitting a written report after the ALAC monthly meeting of 23 May. Noting this, please feel free to contact me further should you have any questions regarding this report.
Please note also that several items - Next Round of New gTLDs, Closed Generics and DNS Abuse will be the subjects of my presentation at this week's CPWG call, in preparation for the ALAC-GNSO Council Bilateral Call on 6 June.
Special Summary Report of 25 May 2023 Meeting to ALT-PLUS<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/GNSO+Liaison+Report%2C+post-Oct+2021>
For brevity, I will just highlight a few things here. For some of the issues, you can glean a wider perspective from GNSO Council May 2023 Matters of Interest<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/GNSO+Liaison+Report%2C+post-Oct+2021#May2023-MOI_May2023> and/or from GNSO Council May 2023 Meeting Records<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/GNSO+Liaison+Report%2C+post-Oct+2021#May2023-Meet_May2023>.
1. Next Round of New gTLDs - Subsequent Procedures
· 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 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> ( see report<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.
Thanks for reading / your consideration.
