<font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">Mike, the Council adopted the motion below in September of last year which called for the formation of a ‘Drafting Team to work with support staff on developing a plan with set of priorities and schedule that can be reviewed and considered by the new Council as part of its work in developing the Council Policy Plan and Priorities for 2010’. At the time Chuck suggested to wait for sending out the call for volunteers to await the outcome of the prioritization exercise in light of the workload. And that’s where we still are, awaiting Council action.<br>

<b>Fast Flux Hosting Motion<br>
</b>Proposed by Mike Rodenbaugh, seconded by Tim Ruiz<br>
<br>
Whereas:<br>
<br>
On 30 May 2008, the GNSO Council initiated a PDP and chartered a Working Group, comprised of interested stakeholders and Constituency representatives, in collaboration with knowledgeable individuals and organizations, to develop potential policy options to curtail the criminal use fast flux hosting;<br>
<br>
Whereas the Working Group was asked to consider ten questions, specifically:<br>
</span></font><ul><li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">Who benefits from fast flux, and who is harmed?
</span></font><li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">Who would benefit from the cessation of the practice, and who would be harmed?
</span></font><li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">Are registry operators involved, or could they be, in fast flux hosting activities? If so, how?
</span></font><li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">Are registrars involved in fast flux hosting activities? If so, how?
</span></font><li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">How are registrants affected by fast flux hosting?
</span></font><li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">How are Internet users affected by fast flux hosting?
</span></font><li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">What technical, e.g. changes to the way in which DNS updates operate, and policy, e.g. changes to registry / registrar agreements or rules governing permissible registrant behavior measures could be implemented by registries and registrars to mitigate the negative effects of fast flux?
</span></font><li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">What would be the impact (positive or negative) of establishing limitations, guidelines, or restrictions on registrants, registrars and/or registries with respect to practices that enable or facilitate fast flux hosting? What would be the impact of these limitations, guidelines, or restrictions to product and service innovation?
</span></font><li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">What are some of the best practices with regard to protection from fast flux?
</span></font><li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">Obtain expert opinion, as appropriate, on which areas of fast flux are in scope and out of scope for GNSO policy making; <br>
</span></font></ul><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">Whereas the Working Group has faithfully executed the PDP, as stated in the By-laws, resulting in a Final Report delivered to the GNSO Council on 13 Aug 2009;<br>
<br>
Whereas the Working Group did not make recommendations for new consensus policy, or changes to existing policy;<br>
<br>
Whereas the Working Group has developed and broadly supports several recommendations, and outlined possible next steps;<br>
<br>
Whereas the GNSO Council has reviewed and discussed these recommendations and the Final Report;<br>

</span></font><li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">To encourage ongoing discussions within the community regarding the development of best practices and / or Internet industry solutions to identify and mitigate the illicit uses of Fast Flux; and
</span></font><li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">The Registration Abuse Policy Working Group (RAPWG) should examine whether existing policy may empower Registries and Registrars, including consideration for adequate indemnification, to mitigate illicit uses of Fast Flux; and
</span></font><li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">To encourage interested stakeholders and subject matter experts to analyze the feasibility of a Fast Flux Data Reporting System to collect data on the prevalence of illicit use, as a tool to inform future discussions; and
</span></font><li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">To encourage staff to examine the role that ICANN can play as a “best practices facilitator" within the community; and

</span></font><li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">To form a Drafting Team to work with support staff on developing a plan with set of priorities and schedule that can be reviewed and considered by the new Council as part of its work in developing the Council Policy Plan and Priorities for 2010. <br>

I have a question about the Fast Flux item. As the document notes, the PDP is done and a Final Report was issued and approved by Council. So why does it seem to be back for Council to form a team to consider the recommendations? Shouldn’t the Staff form a team to implement the recommendations?<br>

</span><span style="font-size:11pt"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:12pt"><br>
• The Sunday dinner is a good socializing event.<br>
</span><span style="font-size:11pt"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:12pt">• Another session with the Board should be held during the ICANN meeting week.<br>
</span><span style="font-size:11pt"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:12pt">- This should be scheduled before the Sunday dinner, perhaps as a 1-hour session on Sunday at 4pm.<br>
</span><span style="font-size:11pt"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:12pt">- The dinner should happen off-site, but somewhere close to the venue, at 6pm, on the first Sunday of the ICANN meeting week.<br>
</span><span style="font-size:11pt"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:12pt">- A structured agenda is required to make the 4 pm session work, and to ensure broad attendance. This should be worked on by the GNSO Council through advance planning and liaising with the relevant entities.<br>
</span><span style="font-size:11pt"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:12pt">• Unless anyone objects, this group should be disbanded after our Sept 8 meeting and Glen may close the group's email list.<br>

</b><br>
9. Except as otherwise specified in these Bylaws, Annex A hereto, or the GNSO Operating Procedures, the default threshold to pass a GNSO Council motion or other voting action requires a simple majority vote of each House. The voting thresholds described below shall apply to the following GNSO actions:<br>
<br>
1. Create an Issues Report: requires an affirmative vote of more than 25% vote of each House or majority of one House;<br>
2. Initiate a Policy Development Process (“PDP”) Within Scope (as described in Annex A): requires an affirmative vote of more than 33% of each House or more than 66% of one House;<br>
3. Initiate a PDP Not Within Scope: requires an affirmative vote of more than 75% of one House and a majority of the other House (“GNSO Supermajority”);<br>
4. Approve a PDP Recommendation Without a GNSO Supermajority: requires an affirmative vote of a majority of each House and further requires that one GNSO Council member representative of at least 3 of the 4 Stakeholder Groups supports the Recommendation;<br>
5. Approve a PDP Recommendation With a GNSO Supermajority: requires an affirmative vote of a GNSO Supermajority; and<br>
6. Approve a PDP Recommendation Imposing New Obligations on Certain Contracting Parties: where an ICANN contract provision specifies that “a two-thirds vote of the council” demonstrates the presence of a consensus, the GNSO Supermajority vote threshold will have to be met or exceeded with respect to any contracting party affected by such contract provision.<br>
