but the substance of the response was still under discussion as of this morning. The small group of volunteers, coordinated by Julf, continues to work toward a stable version for Council consideration. We had hoped to have this finalized before the ICANN Board-GAC
meeting on 15 April, but that didn’t happen. As such, recognizing that councilors may need time to review the final version and socialize it with their respective SG/Cs, we may need to move this item from the consent agenda to a separate item and hold an email
vote following our 18 April meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

<span lang="EN-IE">On 8 April, the GNSO Council Leadership Team presented our proposed motion to finally resolve the long-overdue action item related to voting on the IGO-INGO CRP Final Report. As we described in December 2018, we believe the current motion
is the best path forward and a compromise among various differing views among councilors.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level3 lfo5">
<span lang="EN-IE">To be clear, some councilors prefer that we reject all recommendations and start over. Other councilors believe we should approve everything and send it all to the Board. As a compromise, we believe that the best course of action is to approve
Recommendations 1-4 and reject/refer Recommendation #5 to the RPM PDP WG for its Phase 2 work on UDRP. To accomplish this, the Council needs a simple majority vote.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level3 lfo5">
<span lang="EN-IE">I understand that some are concerned about the potential impact on the RPM PDP WG and possible related delays, or that this approach is still in conflict with long-standing GAC advice to create a separate process for IGOs. Others are concerned
about whether we can realistically find a sufficiently representative group of participants to start a new EPDP. Still others recognize that Recommendation #5 specifically relates to the UDRP, and therefore believe it should be a part of the RPM PDP work.
Because Recommendations 1-4 in part say that no new DRP should be introduced, adjustments to the existing UDRP and/or URS appear to be the appropriate avenue for re-considering the topic. <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level3 lfo5">
<span lang="EN-IE">Therefore, my recommendation here is that we refer Rec 5 to the RPM PDP WG but re-charter the group’s work to allow or require a dedicated sub-team or work-track for the issue. Such a re-chartered sub-team could be structured using PDP 3.0
and/or EPDP-like rules. That way, it becomes the responsibility of an existing and broad-based PDP, but also allows for a targeted group to work the issue. While re-chartering, we can also require a firm timeline and issue a call for new volunteers with specific
subject matter expertise, such as in relevant fields of international law, to ensure the group is well-informed.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level3 lfo5">
<span lang="EN-IE">Council’s approval of a new EPDP, instead of referring to the RPM PDP, would require a supermajority and I frankly don’t know if that’s possible with the range of views among us.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level3 lfo5">
<span lang="EN-IE">Finally, in response to a courtesy email I sent to Manal advising her of this motion, I received the attached letter expressing the GAC’s negative views of this proposed approach. They would prefer a new dedicated EPDP to revisit all of the
work without approval of Recs 1-4.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

<u><span lang="EN-IE">MANAGING IDN VARIANTS</span></u><span lang="EN-IE">: We will have 15 minutes allocated for an introductory discussion of IDN Variants to be led by Sarmad Hussein of ICANN Org. The primary focus of this brief session will be on the ICANN
Board’s resolution related to GNSO and ccNSO work on IDN Variant TLDs. However, it will also serve as a primer for further Council discussion and consideration of the broader range of IDN Variant issues – at the top-level, at the second-level, and the distinction
between existing and future TLDs. We have a developing situation where new rules related to IDNs (guidelines) are being developed and implemented and contracted parties are taking on new obligations outside of a typical PDP. The forward-looking gTLD policy
development for IDN TLDs can appropriately be handled by the SubPro PDP, but that’s not the place for discussions of existing TLDs and/or the impact of requirements on second-level names. We also need to figure out how to ensure the GNSO and ccNSO efforts
can work toward a consistent policy, as required by the Board. As I noted, this session is an introduction to the issue, and I believe the Council needs to take this up more holistically to ensure our policy development mandate is respected.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

Note that the “informal” nature of the IRT is expected to go away once the ICANN Board approves the EPDP Phase One Final Report in May. At that time, ICANN Org will formally begin the IRT work under Dennis’ leadership. Note that the there is an open request
for a GNSO Council Liaison to the EPDP Phase One IRT. Any volunteers?<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

<u><span lang="EN-IE">UPDATE ON THE RPM PDP WG TIMELINE</span></u><span lang="EN-IE">: In Kobe, the GNSO Council Leadership Team, along with Paul McGrady in his role as Council Liaison to the RPM PDP, met with the RPM PDP Co-Chairs to discuss timelines and
working methods to try to help bring some additional rigor and predictability to the WG’s deliverables. We asked the Co-Chairs to work together and with staff to develop a detailed work plan with milestones and measurable deliverables, and to identify how
they anticipate making decisions to execute on that work plan. We had indicated a deadline of 18 April to coincide with our Council meeting, but last week the Co-Chairs requested an extension. We have granted an extension until 26 April, so during our 18 April
meeting, Paul McGrady will provide an update to Council.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
