Subject: AW: Official Consensus Call Designations and Responses

Dear Jeff and Cheryl

Thanks again for the tremendous effort!

I would like to note for the record and for your consideration that I miss a clearer assessment in your designations of two points:


  *   Applicant Support Program: I feel that the lack or omission to consider reducing/waiving ongoing registry fees lacks full consensus. This is a question that went into the public comment and received mixed feedback. Hence, I feel that the designations should note that there is not full consensus (or consensus) on the absence of any recommendation in this regard.



  *   Closed generics: I don't fully understand that we can have "full consensus" on not agreeing. At least from my side, we have noted certainly a dismay at not being able to find a consensus solution. And we certainly disagree with not having a substantive recommendation - hence, I guess that "full consensus" is not entirely apposite, i.e. it makes limited sense to have this designation regarding a "non-agreement"...

Hope this is somehow helpful...

Kind regards

Jorge

Betreff: [Gnso-newgtld-wg] Official Consensus Call Designations and Responses

All,

Attached is the Working Group Co-Chairs' designation as to the level of Consensus on each Overall Topic containing Affirmations, Recommendations and/or Implementation Guidance in the Final Report on the new gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process.  We have also attached a copy of a spreadsheet with all of the Consensus Call Responses filed by members of the Working Group. As a reminder, Section 3.6 of the GNSO Working Group Guidelines<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-24oct19-en.pdf> provides the applicable methodology for the Chairs for Making Decisions.
We are proud to announce that of the 41 overall topics, all but 1 of the topics received a designation of either Full Consensus or Consensus.  More specifically, 26 topics received Full Consensus, 14 received Consensus and 1 received a designation of Strong Support but Significant Opposition.  Within each of the topics that received either Consensus or Strong Support but Significant Opposition, the table sets forth those outputs which the topic that achieved Consensus or Full Consensus. For example, in Topic 2, the overall designation for the Topic is "Consensus."  That said, Outputs 2.1, 2.2, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 actually had "Full Consensus", but Output 2.3 had Consensus.
We look forward to discussing any questions you might have on Tuesday's Working Group Call.  Please remember that you have until 13 January 2021 at 23:59 UTC to challenge any of these designations, and until 18 January 2021 at 23:59 UTC to file any Minority Reports or other statements.  In full disclosure, some members have asked whether they could file statements of support and leadership can see no reason to not include links to those statements (like the minority reports) in the Final Report.
We also wanted to thank you for all of your effort these past 4-5 years and for helping us get to the finish line. And a special thanks of course to the other members of the leadership team who have helped us along the way and of course to Steve, Emily and Julie for their amazing work!
Sincerely,
Cheryl Langdon-Orr and Jeff Neuman, SubPro Chairs
