[Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Invitation to GAC Observers to join our WG

[Mary Wong]

Hello everyone,

While staff is happy to extend the invitation, we think it would be
appropriate to first consult the Council as I do not recall another instance
(at least, not in recent years that I know of) where a WG has formally
invited specific GAC participants to join a WG. I¹ll send a note to the
Council on behalf of the group, and let you all know the Council¹s view.

On a related note ­ the GAC list of Observers does include entities such as
the International Red Cross Movement, who while they are protected by
international treaty are not ³IGOs² as defined for our purposes
(multinational organizations created or constituted by governments). Also,
the GAC list of Observers includes IGOs that are NOT on the GAC List of
Protected IGOs (sent to ICANN in 2013 and the basis on which current
protections, including those GNSO consensus recommendations recently adopted
by the Board and other interim protections, have been extended.

Does the WG wish to invite all GAC Observers accordingly?

Thanks and cheers
Mary
