<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The following resolutions were adopted by the GNSO Council at its meeting on Thursday, 30 November 2017.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">1. The Governmental Advisory Committee advises the ICANN Board on issues of public policy, and especially where there may be an interaction between ICANN's activities or policies and national laws or international
agreements. It usually does so as part of a Communiqué, which is published towards the end of every ICANN meeting.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">2. The GNSO is responsible for developing and recommending to the ICANN Board substantive policies relating to generic top-level domains.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">3. The GNSO has expressed a desire to provide feedback to the ICANN Board on issues in the GAC Communiqué as these relate to generic top-level domains to inform the ICANN Board as well as the broader community
of past, present or future gTLD policy activities that may directly or indirectly relate to advice provided by the GAC.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">4. The GNSO hopes that the input provided through its review of the GAC Communiqué will further enhance the co-ordination and promote the sharing of information on gTLD related policy activities between the
GAC, Board and the GNSO.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Submitted by Darcy Southwell</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Seconded by Donna Austin</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">1. The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council sent a letter (see <a href="https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/bladel-to-crocker-01dec16-en.pdf" target="_blank">https://gnso.icann.org/en/<wbr>correspondence/bladel-to-<wbr>crocker-01dec16-en.pdf</a>) to the ICANN Board on 1 December 2016 regarding implementation
concerns with the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy ("Transfer Policy") – Part C for privacy/proxy registrations. Specifically, the concerns relate to whether the addition/removal of a privacy/proxy service potentially triggers the 60-day inter-registrar transfer
lock described in the updated Transfer Policy. The policy recommendations were silent with respect to the addition/removal of privacy/proxy services, and at the time the policy was implemented, the current issue and potential harms described by the GNSO Council
were not brought to ICANN org's attention.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">2. In this letter, the GNSO Council requested the Board to instruct ICANN Org to work with the Registrar Stakeholder Group and other interested parties to evaluate alternatives for the implementation concerns
related to Transfer Policy Part C.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">3. On 16 March 2017, the Board instructed the ICANN President and CEO, or his designee(s), to work with the Registrar Stakeholder Group and other interested parties to evaluate alternatives for the implementation
concerns related to Transfer Policy Part C and to report back to the GNSO Council with the results of the discussion.” During this time, enforcement of the policy related to this specific issue has been deferred.
</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">4. The Registrar Stakeholder Group discussed this issue and reached out to other interested parties to evaluate alternatives for the implementation concerns related to IRTP Part C and recommended that this
issue is further evaluated by the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues Implementation Review Team (PPSAI IRT) as this group is best placed to determine if/how implementation of IRTP Part C for privacy / proxy registrations can be carried out.
</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Resolved,</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">1. The GNSO Council directs the PPSAI IRT to consider the issue of privacy/proxy registrations and IRTP Part C as outlined in the annex to the GNSO Council letter (see <a href="https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/bladel-to-crocker-01dec16-en.pdf" target="_blank">https://gnso.icann.org/en/<wbr>correspondence/bladel-to-<wbr>crocker-01dec16-en.pdf</a>)
and to put forward recommendations for implementation that are consistent with the IRTP Part C policy recommendations as well as the PPSAI policy recommendations.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">2. The GNSO Council requests that this work be undertaken only after the upcoming PPSAI IRT comment period, and that if it appears as though it will cause any significant or unreasonable delay in implementation
of privacy/proxy service accreditation implementation, that the GNSO Council Liaison must alert the Council.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">3. The GNSO Council encourages registrars and other impacted parties to join the PPSAI IRT to collaborate in these discussions.
</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">4. The GNSO Council requests the GNSO Council Liaison to the PPSAI IRT (in consultation with ICANN org and the IRT) provides regular updates on the timeline for incorporating the issue of privacy/proxy registrations
and the Transfer Policy into the work of the PPSAI implementation plan. Where issues emerge during implementation that may require possible policy discussion, the Council requests GNSO Council Liaison to the PPSAI IRT to escalate these issues using the designated
procedure outlined in the Final Recommendations Report on Policy & Implementation.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">5. The GNSO Council requests the GNSO Council Liaison to the PPSAI IRT to communicate this decision to the PPSAI IRT as soon as possible.
