<p class="MsoNormal">In our pre-SPS webinar, Sebastien indicated we are free to add topics to the agenda for discussion.  In the attached email, I asked for a brief discussion on the topic of ICANN priorities and DNS Abuse and the relationship between ICANN
 Org work and Council work on this topic.  This is in an email because I am not permitted to log in to Google docs.   Can you  or Sebastien please let me know what happened to that request?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">In October 2020, the GNSO Council considered when to request a Policy Status Report to conduct a review of the two Expiration Policies, the Expired Domain Deletion Policy (EDDP)
 and the Expired Registration Recovery Policy (ERRP). Given concerns about capacity, along with the general perception that no known issues have presented themselves, the Council agreed in November 2020 to delay the request for the Policy Status Report (PSR)
 that had been identified by the Action Decision Radar as requiring consideration; the deferral was for a period of 24 months, necessitating consideration November 2022.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">In July 2022, the Council agreed that it would be helpful to check with the registrars and ICANN Compliance to help determine if there are any known issues or concerns with either
 of the two Expiration Policies which could warrant requesting a PSR. A <a href="https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-November/026164.html">
report from Contractual Compliance</a> was shared with the Council on 1 November 2022 and feedback from the registrars has been shared in the past on previous Council calls. The Council received a briefing on the report from ICANN Compliance and the Council
 briefly considered potential next steps. One suggestion may be to task a Councilor member to review the report from Contractual Compliance in detail and determine if any of the issues raised warrant further work at present. That analysis will help inform the
 Council overall and allow the Council to formally record its determination as appropriate.<o:p></o:p></p>
