[Gnso-newgtld-wg] Revisions to sections on GAC Advice - Current Status?

Fri May 1 11:57:23 UTC 2020

Hi All,

I have not been able to connect with Greg on this as hoped.  Even so, I submit the following change which I believes deals with concerns some have raised that we cannot tie the ICANN Board’s hands but at the same time want to create a sense of urgency-leading-to-predictability in relationship to when the GAC gives advice:

 [ In the event that GAC Consensus Advice is issued after the application period has begun and the GAC Consensus Advice applies to categories, groups or classes of applications or string types, the ICANN Board should take into account the circumstances resulting in such timing and the detrimental effect of such timing when considering such GAC Consensus Advice which should result in a strong presumption against the Board adopting such late GAC Consensus Advice.]

I hope this balance is acceptable to the WG.  This is an area of failure for the community in the last round and I think it would be really unfortunate if we set ourselves up for failure again by not addressing it in the new AGB.

Jeff/Cheryl, will one of you please confirm receipt and that this will be on our agenda for discussion in the appropriate WG call?  Thanks!

Best,
Paul

Sorry to have missed last night's witching hour call and sorry this is not done.  You can blame me, not Paul.  i will look at the last bit of language in play this evening and hammer something out with Paul.

Jeff and Cheryl (and Paul McGrady),
Jeff, you said that if there were any proposed changes to the GAC Advice language, we should get those in by May 1.

However, the last time the WG looked at this, Paul had inserted a number of redline changes into the document.  So which version are you expecting us to use when you ask for proposals to be made no later than May 1?  And are these alternate proposals supposed to come in the form of redlines to the WG document in the same manner that Paul used?

I had understood that Paul was doing some redrafting of his numerous edits.  Or was there another small group that was supposed to be convened on this point?

I don’t see any way we can cancel the discussion on the language covering GAC Advice, even though you suggested at the top of the last call that we might.

Thank you,
Anne
