Subject: [Gnso-newgtld-dg] Draft Motion for Council

Attached is a draft motion that Steve prepared and I have reviewed and
approved. The deadline for the Buenos Aires Council is this weekend. We
would like to send this to the Council as soon as possible. I think it is
non-controversial, but please let me know as soon as possible if you have
any suggested amendments.

Thanks all,

Draft Motion to request a Preliminary Issue Report on New gTLDs Subsequent
Rounds

Whereas,

1. In 2005, this Council of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO)
began a policy development process to consider the introduction of new
gTLDs, which resulted in the creation of certain policy recommendations for
the launch of a new gTLD application process; and,

2. In September 2007, this Council adopted the policy recommendations from
the GNSO policy development process and forwarded them to the ICANN Board of
Directors; and,

3. The Final Report stated that " This policy development process has been
designed to produce a systemised and ongoing mechanism for applicants to
propose new top-level domains." 

4. In June 2008, the ICANN Board adopted the GNSO's policy recommendations
for the introduction of new gTLDs and directed staff to develop an
implementation plan for a new gTLD introduction process; and

5. In June 2011, the ICANN Board approved an Application Guidebook ("AGB")
for new gTLDs and authorized the launch of the New gTLD Program; and,

6. In June 2012, the first round application submission period closed; and,

7. In June 2014, this Council created the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures
Discussion Group (DG) to discuss experiences gained and lessons learned from
the 2012 New gTLD round and identify subjects for future issue reports, that
may lead to changes or adjustments for subsequent procedures; and,

8. In August 2014, the DG began deliberations, focusing primarily on the
identification of issues that members experienced in the 2012 New gTLD
round; and,

9. In November 2014, the ICANN Board provided initial input on areas for
possible policy work in Annex A related to a resolution on Planning for
Future gTLD Application Rounds.

10. The DG developed a matrix which attempts to associate identified issues
with a corresponding principle, policy recommendation or implementation
guidance from the 2007 Final Report on New Generic Top-Level Domains, or to
note that the issue may warrant new policy work. Furthermore, the DG
developed a draft PDP WG charter that identifies subjects, divided into
provisional groupings, for further analysis in a potential Issue Report and
potential PDP; and,

11. The DG recommends that its set of deliverables serve as the basis for
analysis in a single Issue Report.

Now therefore, it is resolved:

1. The GNSO Council requests a single Issue Report that will analyze
subjects that may lead to changes or adjustments for subsequent New gTLD
Procedures. The Preliminary Issue Report should at a minimum consider:

. The subjects that the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Discussion Group
identified in its deliverables (i.e., issues matrix and draft charter);

. Global Domains Division Staff input to the deliberations of the DG, and;

. The ICANN Board Resolution Annex A regarding Initial Input on Areas for
Possible Policy Work

2. In addition to covering the required elements of an Issue Report, ICANN
Staff is also requested to provide options on how the subjects may be
organized and worked through in a potential future PDP.
