The United States expresses its thanks to the co-leads of the Work Track 5, and to ICANN staff, for leading and organizing the Working Group.   The U.S. continues to believe that there does not exist any international consensus that recognizes inherent governmental rights in geographic names. Nonetheless, the U.S. is willing to support the conclusion of the Work Track 5 Final Report as a compromise outcome reflecting the diverse views of the participants that participated in the Work Track 5.

Many thanks,

Ashley Heineman
US GAC Representative

Subject: [Gnso-newgtld-wg-wt5] Consensus call - WT5 Final Report to the Full Working Group - Deadline 28 October

Sent on behalf of the Work Track 5 Co-Leaders

Dear Work Track 5 members,

Thank you for taking the time to review the Work Track 5 Final Report to the Full Working Group. The final deadline for providing comments on the document has now passed. As no additional comments were submitted since the last version was sent to the list, we will proceed with a consensus call on the attached text, which is the same as the version sent on 18 October with minor formatting adjustments.

The Co-Leaders believe that there is support from the Work Track to move forward with this report as written. To ensure that all voices are heard, the Co-Leaders invite Work Track 5 to respond to this email stating whether they support or do not support the WT5 Final Report to the Full WG as it is written. A simple “support” or “not support” is sufficient. The deadline for responses is Monday 28 October.

Once the deadline for responses has passed, the Co-Leaders will proceed to make an evaluation of the level of support (see details on attached slides and in the GNSO Operating Procedures) and send this designation to the mailing list. Please keep in mind that a consensus call process is not a formal voting process. After the group has discussed the estimation of designation, Co-Leaders will reevaluate and publish an updated evaluation, if applicable. These steps may be repeated until the Co-Leaders provide a designation of the level of support that is accepted by the group.

For additional information about the consensus call process, please see the attached slides excerpted from the deck used during our 16 October call. More detailed information about the consensus call process is available in the GNSO Operating Procedures (see section 3.6 Standard Process for Making Decisions on page 53): https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/op-procedures-18jun18-en.pdf [gnso.icann.org] [gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com_-3Furl-3Dhttps-3A-252F-252Fgnso.icann.org-252Fsites-252Fdefault-252Ffiles-252Ffile-252Ffield-2Dfile-2Dattach-252Fop-2Dprocedures-2D18jun18-2Den.pdf-25C2-25A0-25255bgnso.icann.org-25255d-26data-3D02-257C01-257CAHeineman-2540ntia.gov-257C8219b30184d7467f5a4508d756fac4e0-257Cd6cff1bd67dd4ce8945dd07dc775672f-257C0-257C1-257C637073507463106139-26sdata-3DzTgM3L9Gq1PPCzldfaggXJyeG32LpGkvvX9M8cdvfm8-253D-26reserved-3D0&d=DwMGaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=mBQzlSaM6eYCHFBU-v48zs-QSrjHB0aWmHuE4X4drzI&m=jrqsfD8G10HE-M1Yj-W0zpDoGio99yXlvCc1DmFkBvw&s=tefHiAW-U-vUjHlaEhV3Zeo2y_kTCksbmvvM5hV89Qs&e=>.

Please note that there will be an opportunity to submit a statement of “minority views” once the full WG completes its Final Report. Please see the attached for additional information.

If you have questions about the consensus call process, please send them to the mailing list.
