<p style="margin-left:102.0pt;box-sizing:border-box;line-height:1.4rem;margin:1.25rem">
<span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">Article 12, Section 12.2(a)(ix) of the ICANN Bylaws permits the GAC to "put issues to the Board directly, either by way of comment or prior advice, or by way of specifically recommending action or new policy development
or revision to existing policies." In its San Juan Communiqué (15 March 2018), the GAC issued advice to the Board on various matters including ICANN's proposed approach to address compliance with ICANN's agreements with registries and registrars in relation
to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:102.0pt;box-sizing:border-box;line-height:1.4rem;margin:1.25rem">
<span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">The ICANN Bylaws require the Board to take into account the GAC's advice on public policy matters in the formulation and adoption of the polices. If the Board decides to take an action that is not consistent with
the GAC advice, it must inform the GAC and state the reasons why it decided not to follow the advice. Any GAC advice approved by a full consensus of the GAC (as defined in the Bylaws) may only be rejected by a vote of no less than 60% of the Board, and the GAC and
the Board will then try, in good faith and in a timely and efficient manner, to find a mutually acceptable solution.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:102.0pt;box-sizing:border-box;line-height:1.4rem;margin:1.25rem">
<span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">At this time, the Board's current thinking and approach to addressing the GDPR in relation to ICANN's agreements with registries and registrars is inconsistent or could be viewed as inconsistent with certain items
of the GAC's advice in the San Juan Communiqué. Given this, the Board is taking action at this time to initiate the process that is required prior to the Board taking an action that is not consistent with the GAC's advice. As part of the process, the Board
is required to, and will provide a written response to the GAC indicating: (1) whether it has any questions or concerns regarding such advice; (2) whether it would benefit from additional information regarding the basis for the GAC's advice; (3) and a preliminary
indication of whether the Board intends to take such advice into account. <u>The Board's response will be the subject of an exchange between the Board and the GAC.</u><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">Taking this action will have a positive impact on the community because it will assist with resolving the advice from the GAC concerning ICANN's proposed approach for enforcing compliance with agreements with registries
and registrars in relation to the GDPR. There are no foreseen fiscal impacts associated with the adoption of this resolution as the first step of the process, which requires an exchange between the Bord and the GAC, is anticipated to be conducted telephonically.
Approval of the resolution will not impact security, stability or resiliency issues relating to the DNS. This is an Organizational Administrative function that does not require public comment. This action is in support of the public interest and ICANN's mission
as it will assist in ensuring that public policy considerations are appropriately taken into account in proposed actions by the ICANN Board concerning GDPR compliance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
