<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Councilors,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are sending this “open items” email because several items require attention before our next scheduled meeting on April 18. Please see the action items listed below each issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>CCWG Auction Proceeds; Public Comment on Bylaw Amendment<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Deadline: 15 April 2024<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Material: https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/proposed-bylaws-updates-to-limit-access-to-accountability-mechanisms-27-02-2024<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Action Item: Designate Councilor to solicit feedback from your SG on whether they support the proposed amendment and help draft public comment from Council. We plan to submit a comment if we can reach a unified a position.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>ATRT 4<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Deadline: 22 March 2024<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Material: (letter from Theresa attached)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Summary: Given the number of items still in progress from ATRT3 (pilot holistic review, CCOICI, actual holistic review), ICANN is asking for feedback on whether ARTRT 4 can be deferred.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Action Item: Consult with your SGs to determine if there are any objections to supporting a deferral of ATRT4. If there are none, I think a relatively short letter can be sent by Council Leadership supporting a deferral.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Small Team Guidelines<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Deadline: 18 April Council Meeting (but deadline can be moved if more discussion is warranted)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Material: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j5vDURSuz65R1gZxgxLKsK9H5cI_ux0YixAP9XhSgXg/edit<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Action Item: Review document and make any comments (please submit feedback in comment form so edits are easier to manage). We plan to submit a motion to adopt at April’s Council meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>GAC Liaison Guidelines<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Deadline: 18 April Council Meeting (but deadline can be moved if more discussion is warranted)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Material:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Action Item: Review document and make any comments (please submit feedback in comment form so edits are easier to manage). We plan to submit a motion to adopt at the April’s meeting but recognize more discussion may be needed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Proposed Amendment to Recommendation 7<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Deadline: May 17 (after our April meeting), but we are including here because it is related (in subject matter) to the proposed bylaw amendment referenced above.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Material: (letter from Tripti attached)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Action Item: Consult with your SGs to determine if there are objections to the proposed revision of recommendation 7. We can discuss at our April meeting and prepare a response before the 17 May deadline.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
