[Gac-gnso-cg] Overview of Active GNSO Working Groups

Tue Feb 18 18:18:24 UTC 2014

Suzanne, to clarify, from the GNSO's perspective the work on the protection
of IGO/INGO identifiers is complete for now as the recommendations have been
submitted to the ICANN Board for its consideration (who directed the new
gTLD Program Committee at its last meeting to ' (1) consider the policy
recommendations from the GNSO as it continues to actively develop an
approach to respond to the GAC advice on protections for IGOs; and (2)
develop a comprehensive proposal to address the GAC advice and the GNSO
policy recommendations for consideration by the Board at a subsequent
meeting). As such, it does not appear on the list. What has been included is
the Preliminary Issue Report that is being drafted by staff on exploring
whether the URS and/or UDRP should be amended to allow access by IGO/INGOs
which is expected to be published for public comment later this month. This
is the first step in a possible PDP and follows the recommendation of the
Protection of IGO/INGO Identifiers PDP Working Group.

In relation to privacy / proxy, maybe including the the request for input
that was sent to the GAC (see attached) which provides some further
specificity in relation to the questions the WG has been tasked to address
as well as a link to the early engagement one-pager (found at
https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/33849431/Jan%202014%20Early%20
Engage%20RAA%20PDP.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1391155976629&api=v2)
might be helpful?

Best regards,

Marika

Hi all, and thanks to Mikey and Manal for your thoughtful efforts to improve
the presentation of this material; thanks of course as well to Marika and
Olof for pulling it together.

I like Mikey¹s idea of presenting the different initiatives in their stages,
as that does make it easier to understand the status of individual
initiatives.  I am still not sure, however, whether the material presented
might need some further explanation.  For example, having already delivered
GAC consensus advice to the ICANN Board on the IOC/Red Cross and IGOs, it¹s
not clear what input is being sought from the GNSO on the IGO/INGO matter.
As just one GAC member, I¹m confused, and imagine others may well be too.

Re the privacy and proxy issue, which is of great interest (even though very
few GAC members are engaged as yet), I wonder if the write up could lay out
a bit more clearly what the issues are; it is the statement of issues
(perhaps the scope of work?) that we¹d want to use as a trigger for the GAC
to determine whether and if so ,how, public policy matters should be taken
into account.  I hope this makes sense; if not, just let me know and I¹ll
try again.

Rather than send two separate emails, I¹m using this same message to respond
to Manal¹s second email with regard to the day to day cooperation material.
It strikes me that we might want to put the objectives and expectations out
to the GAC and the GNSO for comment, as preparation for the Singapore
meeting.  Since this is such an important project, I¹d feel more confident
if we conducted periodic reality checks, and since Singapore is a short 5
weeks away, I see that meeting as a golden opportunity to hear from our
respective communities and, more importantly, to have them endorse this
approach.  I hope I¹m not out of sync with the rest of you, and would very
much welcome your thoughts.  Thanks, Suz

hi Manal,

i agree ‹ i think this is a useful way to share this info.

[MI]: good J ..

as a person with a really short attention span, i would like to see the two
sections reversed.  so the summary list goes first and then the details
follow.  those long solid blocks of text in the detailed write up are hard
to get through ‹ but really helpful if one of the PDPs catches my eye and i
want to learn more.  would you take that as a friendly amendment?

[MI]: fully agree .. you have a point .. thanks for the suggestion .. will
do ..

i think your document would be really helpful for both the GAC AND the GNSO.
it¹s a nice short summary of the ³pipeline² of PDPs that seems easy to
prepare and easy to digest.  and maybe a web version of it goes up on the
GNSO web page and a link is included each time it¹s distributed?  that way
the world can quickly find out what is happening.

[MI]: first of all it¹s your and Marika¹s document J !! this is a mere copy
and paste from what you have both sent .. I also like the web version
suggestion .. let¹s keep it in mind until we receive all suggestions ..

i also agree that there are interim-improvement opportunities here.  for
example, i¹m part of the Data and Metrics for Policy Making working group
which is in the early stages of getting under way.  this would be a great
working group for GAC members who are interested in improving our
"fact-based policy making² capability.  since i¹m also a member of this
group, i could help any GAC volunteers find their way in what may be
unfamiliar territory.

[MI]: agree .. although I¹m embarrassed to say that I¹ve found out that I¹ve
been contacted regarding the PDP on the Translation and Transliteration of
Contact Information and have overlooked it !!! thanks for the kind offer to
help .. 

[MI]: will wait one more day, unless otherwise requested, to allow for more
feedback before I forward to the GAC .. Thanks again for your feedback ..

Many thanks Marika and Mikey ..
Extremely useful ..

With interim improvements in mind, I believe it may be useful to share both
your messages on the GAC list, please see the attached file ..
Do you, Jonathan or any of our group members feel uncomfortable about this?

Although I do not expect immediate feedback, yet:
-       I believe it may be useful to share in preparation for our
discussions in Singapore

-       It may trigger a discussion on the best format to receive such info
(a first step towards interim improvements)

-       I hope it may trigger GAC members to join any of the active working
groups

-       In an ideal situation, GAC members joining any of the active working
groups may provide us with real-time feedback to further fine tune our work

Please let me know what you think ..

Kind Regards

hi Marika,

this is a really cool list ‹ all the PDPs, with the ³stage of work²
identified.

i wonder if this could also be sequenced by stage of work too.  that way, if
i¹m a person in the GAC that likes to participate in a given stage, i can
see what¹s in that category.

here¹s my first try at reordering the list ‹ showing the earliest-stage PDPs
first and the latest-stage PDPs last with an eye to the desirability of
early engagement.  i think this might be a really useful way to summarize
the status of PDP development to the Council as well.

Stage 1: Identify and launch

4.     Amending the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and Uniform
Rapid Suspension (URS) procedure to enable access to them by protected
International Governmental Organizations (IGOs) and International
Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs)  Preliminary Issue Report

Status: Preliminary Issue Report is expected to be published for public
comment by the end of February 2014.

6.     Cross Community Working Groups Non-PDP Drafting Team

Status: the DT is expected to submit the charter for consideration by the
GNSO and ccNSO Council in Sinapore. Following adoption of the charter, a
call for volunteers will be circulated to the community for participation.

7.     Data & Metrics for Policy Making Non-PDP Working Group

Status: The GNSO Council adopted the charter for the working group in
January 2014 and a call for volunteers has been launched (open to anyone
interested to join).

Stage 2: Develop consensus

1.    Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues (PPSAI) Policy
Development Process

Status: WG commenced in November 2013. Input has been requested to help
inform its deliberations from all SO/ACs

2.     Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information Policy
Development Process
> Status: WG commenced in December 2013. Input has been requested to help inform
> its deliberations from all SO/ACs.

5.     Policy & Implementation Non-PDP Working Group
> Status: The WG started its deliberations in August 2013 and aims to publish an
> Initial Report for public comment by October 2014. Input was requested to help
> inform its deliberations from all SO/ACs.

Stage 3: Refine and endorse

3.     Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Part D Policy Development
Process

> Status: The Working Group is expected to publish its Initial Report for public
> comment prior to the ICANN meeting in Singapore. Input was requested at the
