Thanks so much for this Heather, very useful. I will try to get
this into an amended report, which I will circulate prior to our
next meeting....not sure what the protocol is for making amendments
to the one that made it in by the deadline, and my apologies for not
circulating the draft in time to get all your valuable input.<br>
I was going to helpfully suggest how the GAC folks might ameliorate
their visa problem (it is , after all, up to them to decide whether
their meeting is an official one or not) but figured we had better
stick to our remit.<span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-) </span></span><br>

<p>Dear Stephanie,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Many thanks for your willingness to produce this first draft
of Council's response. Paul McGrady and I will discuss further
with our IPC colleagues to provide input from the constituency
as a whole, but in the meantime, I'll try to contribute from a
more general perspective.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>1. gTLD Safeguards: Current Rounds - We should update the
third column ('If yes, is it subject to existing....) to be
most current, which is that the Preliminary Issue Report was
published on 21 August and the public comment period on that
Report closed on 30 October. Marika or Mary will be in the
best position to advise as to timing of GNSO policy
development next steps for this third and also the
fourth column.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Also under this point, the harmonized methodology for
reporting (page 3), if we refer to the work on metrics, it
would be helpful to point directly to Council's recent
approval (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20151021-1">http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20151021-1</a>) of
the Recommendations set out in the Final Report of the DMPM
WG. I wasn't a member of this WG but if any Councillors (or
failing that, Jonathan Zuck, as he has led the WG and been
providing Council with updates) can offer insight as to
whether this issue of GAC Advice Board scorecard can be dealt
with in the framework of what the DMPM WG recommends, that
would also be helpful information for the Board to
insert here.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>2. Future gTLD Rounds - Is the text in <span
style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif,
'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', NotoColorEmoji,
'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji', EmojiSymbols; font-size:
16px;">the third column ('If yes, is it subject to
existing....) intended to refer to the Preliminary Issue
Report on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures? If so, this should
be updated, as it was published on 21 August and the
public comment period closed on 30 October. In column 3
we should specifically identify the many ongoing GNSO policy
development-related work, including: (I'm counting on others
to help fill in the gaps if I miss any here, as there are
many things ongoing relating to future round/s)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji',
NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji',
EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">- Competition, Consumer
Trust, Consumer Choice (CCT) Metrics/Review (here is an
excellent opportunity to make it known to the Board that the
GNSO is very keen to have a sufficient number of
representatives on this Review to ensure the full range of
GNSO stakeholder perspectives are able to contribute).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji',
NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji',
EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">- RPM and TMCH Reviews</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji',
NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji',
EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">- CWG Country and Territory
Names (</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It would be
helpful to highlight that this WG is referred to in the GAC
communique as belonging to the ccNSO, but it is in fact a
CWG chartered by both the ccNSO and GNSO. We could push the
point that it is therefore important that the GAC liaise
with both SOs on this CWG's work; in short, the GNSO must be
involved in these interactions.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">-Others I have forgotten?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">3. Protection for IGOs - Phil
Corwin is best placed to correct me if I'm wrong, but I
understood from our Saturday update in Dublin that </span><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">Professor Edward Swaine, George
Washington University Faculty of Law, has been appointed to
advise on sovereign immunity issues. The PDP will resume
work once Professor Swaine’s advice is received.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">4. CPE - I defer to others for
input on this one, as I don't know of anything to add.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">5. Use of 2-letter Country
Codes and Country Names - Donna's input about RySG's work
here raises a good point, which is that as we move forward
with the concept of this document, we should put into place
some sort of processes whereby the various SGs and Cs can
provide input to the drafter of the document.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">6. Visas - We might usefully
note here (Marika and Glen are likely best to offer input)
that the GNSO Council also suffers from this problem. We may
have statistics or records as to how many Councillors have
not been able to attend recent meetings due to visa issues.
This type of hard data could be very useful to the Board.</span></p>
