<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The GNSO Council has determined that it may need to provide a Council specific response (not to supersede any response from any SG/C) to certain ICANN budget related public comments. On an informal trial basis,
a small team of Councilors has considered two public comments 1) <a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/draft-pti-iana-fy19-2017-10-09-en">Draft PTI and IANA FY19 Operating Plans and Budgets</a> and 2) <a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/reserve-fund-2017-10-12-en">ICANN

to both for Council consideration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The small team of Councilors has prepared a draft charter for the proposed standing committee. This charter may be adopted on an interim basis to allow that the process be tested to help determine if the charter
is fit-for-purpose. The GNSO Standing Committee on Budget and Operations (SCBO) will be tasked with reviewing and preparing comment to ICANN’s FY19 Draft Budget planning cycle and will operate under this interim charter. After having completed the review of
the FY19 Draft ICANN Budget and Operating Plan, the SCBO will conduct a review of the process and suggest changes to the interim charter, if appropriate. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As requested by this GNSO Council, ICANN published a <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/whois-privacy-conflicts-procedure-03may17-en.pdf">paper</a> for <a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/whois-privacy-law-2017-05-03-en">public

for proceeding with the review, and offering to discuss those options or others identified by Council. On 24 August 2017, the Council received an update from GDD staff and discussed possible options for moving forward with the review of the Procedure For Handling
WHOIS Conflicts with Privacy Law.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
