<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The ICANN Bylaws mandate a periodic review of ICANN’s commitment to “enhance the operational stability, reliability, resiliency, security, and global interoperability
of the systems and processes, both internal and external, that directly affect and/or are affected by the Internet's system of unique identifiers that ICANN coordinates”, to be conducted by a community-led Review Team. This security, stability and resiliency
(SSR) review has to be conducted no less frequently than once every five years, measured from the date the previous SSR Review Team (RT) was convened. The first SSR RT was formed in October 2010, and it delivered its final report in June 2012. A Call for Volunteers
to the SSR-2 RT was issued on 30 June 2016, with applications closing on 15 September 2016. A total of 12 applicants indicated that they were seeking endorsement from the GNSO, for a possible maximum of 7 out of 21 slots on the SSR-2 RT. Under the selection
process agreed among the ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees (SO/ACs), the top 3 nominees from each SO/AC will be guaranteed a slot.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">A small group of volunteer Councilors have reviewed the list and qualifications of the candidates who are seeking the GNSO’s endorsement. The current slate of applicants
can be viewed at </span><a href="https://community.icann.org/x/xRqsAw"><span style="font-family: Arial;">https://community.icann.org/x/xRqsAw</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;">. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Here the Council will decide
whether to approve the proposed slate of nominees for GNSO endorsement, as circulated to the Council list on 9 January 2017. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Item 5. COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Proposal for a Facilitated Discussion between the GAC and the GNSO to Resolve Outstanding Differences in GAC Advice and GNSO Policy Recommendations concerning Second Level Protections for
International Governmental Organization (IGO) Acronyms and Certain Names and Acronyms of the Red Cross Movement (25 minutes)</span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">On 20 December 2016, the GNSO Council Chairs participated in a teleconference with several members of the ICANN Board, the GAC Chair and several GAC member representatives.
The purpose of the call was to discuss possible objectives for, and the scope of, a possible facilitated discussion between the GAC and the GNSO in order to resolve the inconsistencies between GAC advice and GNSO policy recommendations on the topic of IGO
and Red Cross protections. These inconsistencies mainly concern second level protections for IGO acronyms and the following Red Cross identifiers: the names of 189 Red Cross National Societies, the names International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies and International Committee of the Red Cross, and the acronyms associated with the two international names (IFRC/FICR and ICRC/CICR).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The idea for a facilitated discussion had been suggested by the ICANN Board during the second Public Forum at ICANN57, in November 2016. Following the call, the
GNSO Chair requested feedback from Councilors regarding any concerns or questions about GNSO participation in the proposed discussion. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Board members who had participated in the 20 December call are preparing to circulate a proposed process outline describing the objectives and scope of the proposed
discussion. Here the Council will continue its deliberations on the topic, including the timing of the discussions in relation to the work of the ongoing Working Group that is conducting the GNSO’s Policy Development Process on IGO curative rights protection
issues. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Policy Recommendations (10 minutes)</span></strong><b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">On 15 December 2016, the Thick WHOIS Implementation Review Team (IRT) sent a letter to the GNSO Council describing a number of privacy law developments and how the
IRT has considered them (see </span><a href="https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/irt-to-gnso-council-15dec16-en.pdf)"><span style="font-family: Arial;">https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/irt-to-gnso-council-15dec16-en.pdf)</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;">.
The letter noted that the IRT’s implementation plan has been published for public comment (see </span><a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/proposed-implementation-gnso-thick-rdds-whois-transition-2016-10-26-en)"><span style="font-family: Arial;">https://www.icann.org/public-comments/proposed-implementation-gnso-thick-rdds-whois-transition-2016-10-26-en)</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;"> and
that the IRT does not currently expect the developments in question to affect the timeline for transition to thick WHOIS. Here the Council will discuss the letter, and any actions it may wish to take or feedback it may wish to provide to the IRT on this topic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">On 15 December 2016, ICANN launched the </span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">FY18 SO-AC Community Additional Budget Request process. This process
concerns a dedicated part of the overall ICANN annual budget that is set aside to fund specific requests from the community for activities in that specific Financial Year not already included in the recurring ICANN budget. The deadline for submission of community
budget requests for FY2018 is 30 January 2017. Following preliminary review by ICANN staff and community consultations at ICANN58 in March 2018, final assessments are expected to be made by mid-April in time for Board approval by the end of May. The proposed
timeline, guidelines and request templates can be found at </span><a href="https://community.icann.org/x/aqXDAw"><span style="font-family: Arial;">https://community.icann.org/x/aqXDAw</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;">. Here the Council will discuss
whether, and what, additional specific FY18 budget requests it may wish to make (distinct from any requests individual GNSO Stakeholder Groups or Constituencies may submit).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">The GNSO Council had agreed previously on the need to start planning early for ICANN58, and to confirm certain important sessions (including joint meetings
with other SO/ACs and the ICANN Board) as fixed in the overall meeting schedule. Advance planning will be helpful for scheduling purposes, including for GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies, coordination between and with other SO/ACs, and ensuring that
sufficient time is given over to policy development work. To assist in the Council’s deliberations, staff compiled all GNSO Council input received on the ICANN58 Council Planning Survey: </span></strong><a href="https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/icann58-council-planning-survey-30nov16-en.pdf"><span style="font-family: Arial;">https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/icann58-council-planning-survey-30nov16-en.pdf</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(9, 80, 162);">.</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> Based
on the Council’s deliberations at ICANN58 and its two December 2016 meetings, the Council Chairs, with the assistance of staff, have been developing a proposed ICANN58 schedule for the GNSO Council. The draft GNSO schedule was circulated on [INSERT DATE] (see
[INSERT LINK]), and attempts to take into account the current overall block schedule (see </span><a href="https://meetings.icann.org/sites/default/files/icann58_blocksched_draft2.pdf)"><span style="font-family: Arial;">https://meetings.icann.org/sites/default/files/icann58_blocksched_draft2.pdf)</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;">.
