 some recommended improvements to the approach that ICANN <span  class="spellcheck_typo">org</span> takes.</p></div><ul ><li  class="MsoNormal">
First, the GNSO Council believes that the current, crowdsourced approach where the community is expected to identify errors and omissions in the Global Legislative and Regulatory Developments Report is inappropriate. If ICANN is a professional organization
 then its professional staff should be comprehensively monitoring the regulatory landscape within which we operate.</li><li  class="MsoNormal">
Second, we encourage ICANN <span  class="spellcheck_typo">org</span> to conduct proper regulatory impact assessments so that the community can understand the intended rationale for a law/regulation/directive, specific extracts of the proposed text that could have implications on activities within
 ICANN’s remit, and outline concretely what implications are anticipated for ICANN. A timeline should be included so we understand how imminent the law/regulation/directive is and when we need to take action.
</li><li  class="MsoNormal">
Third, we encourage ICANN <span  class="spellcheck_typo">org</span> to partner with a professional firm to receive regular updates (at least every three months) focused on those key regions which cause the majority of concerns. These reports must be made available to ICANN community members in
 a timely manner.</li><li  class="MsoNormal">
Fourth, while the GNSO Council would be pleased to accept ongoing monitoring reports, we would also welcome the opportunity to be briefed at our face-to-face meetings by ICANN’s government relations team and to enter into a dialogue about issues that have the
 potential to cause us concern. </li><li  class="MsoNormal">
Fifth, once a law or regulation has been adopted, ICANN <span  class="spellcheck_typo">org</span> must undertake a compliance assessment in order to fully understand what implications there may or may not be on ICANN activities.</li><li  class="MsoNormal">
Sixth, the GNSO Council considers the GAC to be an important partner in these discussions and we would be delighted if they are able to alert us to potentially problematic legislation. However, we understand that often the GAC is not in a position to be able
 to do so, so we believe the onus must ultimately fall on ICANN <span  class="spellcheck_typo">org</span> to structure the dialogue and to monitor regulatory and legislative developments.</li></ul><div ><p  class="MsoNormal"> Thank you for welcoming our input.</p></div><div ><p  class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div ><p  class="MsoNormal"><span  style="font-family:Cambria Math,serif;">‐‐‐‐‐‐‐</span> Original Message
