As regards who owns and drives implementation of the GNSO Projects list,
this was the subject of some debate on the Council last year and I am not
sure that we ever really resolved the matter. One would assume that the
Council has such a responsibility and there were attempts to undergo a work
prioritisation effort but this didn't lead to much for various reasons.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">While the
overall outcome is positive, I do have a reservation about “Discussion
Paper.” What does this mean, and what is the expected
outcome? I’m guessing this is not defined in Council
by-laws? Because there is no formal platform for Best Practices to be
defined and implemented within the GNSO, by what structure will a future BP
working group operate? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Second, you
state below in the positive outcomes, “</span><span lang="EN-GB">All
recommendations of the RAP WG have been passed by the Council.” </span>
<span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Can you clarify, please?
Several of those recommendations did not obtain Unanimous Consensus.
The RAP WG and RAP IDT determined the Council should vote individually how
the recommendation should proceed (essentially and up/down vote). Will
the recommendations on the GNSO Project List be voted on as it works its way
up on priority? Or will the Council vote the recommendation up or down
in the near term and only those approved will be added to the list?

<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">In discussions Steve Del Bianco
had with Jeff Neuman (Registry) support was obtained for my amendments to
the Council motion and some additional language on best practices.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Separately I reaching out to the
NCSG’s Mary Wong (NCSG) proved helpful and we were able to agree on
language that led to support of the NCSG Councillors. <o:p></o:p>

<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The quid pro quo for the NCSG
voting in favour of all BC amendments was that BC would not vote down any of
the resolved(s).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">In the Council meeting, the
process was met with enormous opposition by the Registrars and in particular
my observation was that Stephane, in his role as Chair, favoured an
interpretation of the operating procedures to the effect that the proposed
Resolutions would be simply taken off the table since one of the proposers
Tim Ruiz (Registrar) had decided to withdraw his support as a seconder
– this was despite advice from the ICANN General Counsel stating that
the resolution could be sponsored by other councillors. Alternatively,
the Chair was favouring a delay and deferral of the vote since the allotted
time was running out – filibuster.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I must mention that the support of
Jeff Neuman, Mary Wong and in Staff Margie and Marika to what effectively
was my Resolution on behalf of the BC was invaluable. Eventually, the
Registrars accepted, with a few amendments, the Resolutions and all
Resolutions were passed unanimously.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

initiation of a Policy Development Process by requesting an Issues Report to
