[Gnso-igo-ingo] FOR YOUR INFORMATION: Public comment proceeding open for Red Cross PDP recommendations

Fri Nov 23 16:35:54 UTC 2018

Dear Mary, dear Berry,
Dear Working Group members,

Many thanks for your update.

I have just noted that the title of the Consensus Policy that has been 
made accessible on-line for comments reads curiously and does not reflect 
the title of the final Recommendations Report submitted to the GNSO 
Council (i.e. Final Report on the Protections for Certain Red Cross and 
Red Crescent Names in All Generic Top-Level Domains Policy Amendment 
Process).

The title of the document placed on-line for comments is inadequate and 
confusing and does not reflect the efforts made by ICANN Staff and WG 
members to make use of terminology and names that conform to the Statutes, 
Regulations and practice of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent 
Movement. We would recommend that the title of the proposed Consensus 
Policy (as accessible on line) be revised to refer to 

"Proposed consensus policy concerning the names of the International Red 
Cross and Red Crescent Movement and of its respective international and 
national components"; or 

"Proposed consensus policy concerning the Protections for Certain Red 
Cross and Red Crescent Names in All Generic Top-Level Domains".

The terms / names "Red Cross International Movement" or "Red Cross 
National Societies" are not correct.

Many thanks for your kind assistance and best regards to all,

Stéphane

Dear Thomas and Working Group members,

As noted in the message below to the GNSO Council, the consensus 
recommendations from this PDP Working Group are proceeding toward Board 
consideration, based on the GNSO Council’s approval in September 2018 and 
after the close of this current public comment proceeding. The current 
timeline should allow the topic to be placed on the Board’s agenda 
sometime in early 2019. 

Thank you all again for all the hard work and collaboration on this 
reconvened PDP. Staff will continue to keep you informed of progress on 
the matter.

Thanks and cheers
Berry and Mary

for Red Cross PDP recommendations

Dear Councilors,

This note is to inform you that, in accordance with the transparency 
requirements of the ICANN Bylaws (Article 3, Section 3.6), a public 
comment period has just been opened for the final recommendations from the 
reconvened PDP on Red Cross names: 
https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-11-21-en [icann.org]. You 
will recall that the GNSO Council approved all the final PDP 
recommendations at its meeting in September 2018. This public comment 
proceeding is intended to provide a reasonable opportunity for public 
input on the proposed policy prior to Board action on the matter. In 
addition, the Bylaws permit the GAC to provide timely advice at this stage 
should there be any public policy concerns. 

Staff currently anticipates that the Board consideration of the PDP 
recommendations can therefore take place in early 2019, following the 
close of the public comment period. At that time, staff will forward the 
PDP Final Report, the GNSO Council’s Recommendations Report (approved by 
the GNSO Council in October 2018) and any relevant public input to the 
Board. Under the ICANN Bylaws, the Board is also obliged to take into 
account any timely GAC advice that may be published.

Staff will continue to keep you informed of the status of this matter. 
Thank you.

Cheers
Mary
