*Item 3. Consent Agenda (5 mins)*
*3.1 – Confirmation of leadership for the GNSO Standing Selection Committee
(SSC)*
On 15 March 2017, the GNSO Council adopted the charter for the GNSO
Standing Selection Committee (SSC), which was established on an interim
basis to, upon request from the GNSO Council, select candidates for ICANN
structures, such as review teams and related to the Empowered Community.
The SSC has selected Susan Kawaguchi as its Chair and Johan Helsingius and
Maxim Alzoba as Vice-Chairs. Here, the Council will confirm this leadership
structure.
*Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE – Process and criteria for selection of the GNSO
representative to the Empowered Community Administration (15 minutes)*
The GNSO, as a Decisional Participant in the Empowered Community, is
required to deliver annually a written certification from its Chair or
Vice-Chairs to the ICANN Secretary designating the individual who shall
represent the Decisional Participant on the EC Administration.
On 29 September 2016, the GNSO Council resolved that James Bladel, GNSO
Chair, will represent the GNSO and serve as the interim representative to
the Empowered Community Administration. Further, on 15 March 2017, the
Council resolved that the GNSO Standing Selection Committee (SSC) would be
tasked to develop the criteria and processes for the selection of the GNSO
representative to the Empowered Community Administration. The Council has
considered the proposed selection process as developed and shared by the
SSC.
Here, the Council will vote on whether or not to approve the proposed
selection process and criteria.

4.2 – Council discussion
4.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority)
*Item 5. COUNCIL VOTE – Initiation of a Drafting Team to Consider Changing
the Name of the GNSO (10 minutes)*
Some in the community have noted that as domain name are available
globally, the term “generic” has certain meanings to different parts of the
ICANN community, that the usage of “generic” to describe a .brand is
potentially confusing, and among other reasons, that it might make sense to
substitute the word “Generic” for “Global” in Generic Names Supporting
Organization.
To consider this change, the GNSO Council believes that a narrowly scoped
Drafting Team should be formed to determine whether a change of this nature
is recommended and if so, develop a proposed implementation plan to
effectuate that change.
Here, the Council will vote on whether to initiate a Drafting Team to
consider changing the name of the GNSO.
5.1 – Presentation of motion (https://community.icann.org/x/KgXfAw) (Paul

*Item 6: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Updated Charter for the Cross Community
Working Group on Internet Governance (20 minutes)*
At ICANN57 in Hyderabad in November 2016, the GNSO Council approved a
motion conditioning the future participation of the GNSO as a Chartering
Organization of the CCWG on Internet Governance (CCWG-IG) upon a
comprehensive review of the group’s Charter by the CCWG-IG, in accordance
with the Framework of Uniform Principles for CCWGs that had been adopted
recently by the ccNSO and GNSO Councils (http://gnso.icann.org/en/
drafts/uniform-framework-principles-recommendations-16sep16-en.pdf). In its
resolution, the GNSO Council had noted that the CCWG-IG’s future work is
expected to be subject to a clear work plan, with regular updates and clear
deliverables, and had requested that, by ICANN58, the CCWG-IG was to report
on its findings, which report may include a revised charter, and the
CCWG-IG was to also consider whether it will be preferable to reconstitute
the group under a new structure (https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions
- 20161107-3 <https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20161107-3>).
The CCWG-IG provided a written report on its 2016 activity and a draft
revised Charter for the GNSO Council’s consideration on 10th March 2017 (
http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2017-March/019816.html).
At its Public Meeting at ICANN58 in Copenhagen on 15 March 2017 and its
joint meeting with the ccNSO Council on 13 March 2017, the Council engaged
in a discussion with the CCWG-IG co-chairs regarding the group’s reports.
At the GNSO Council’s call on 18 May 2017, the Council continued its
discussion of the topic.
Here the Council will continue its discussion on the CCWG-IG’s revised
charter and consider the GNSO’s participation as a Chartering Organization
of this CCWG.
6.1 – Update on current status (GNSO Council chairs)
6.2 – Council discussion
6.3 – Next steps
*Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Proposed Fundamental Bylaw Changes (15
minutes)*
On 23 May 2017, the ICANN organization sent a notice
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_system_files_bm_secretarys-2Dnotice-2D2-2Dredacted-2D23may17-2Den.pdf&d=DwMGaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=UAy6fqdE7uFkRCc7uzN4yui8bwTtqofadZHiQEIO1vw&m=zGcL>
to the Empowered Community (EC) that the ICANN Board has approved
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resources_board-2Dmaterial_resolutions-2D2017-2D05-2D18-2Den-231.c&d=DwMGaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=UAy6fqdE7uFkRCc7uzN4yui8bwTtqofadZHiQEIO1vw&m=zGcLop95kF>
amendments
to ICANN’s Fundamental Bylaws to move the Board Governance Committee’s
reconsideration responsibilities to another Board Committee. This notice
triggered the Bylaws-mandated process according to which the EC is to
consider whether to approve the amendments before they can go into effect.
On 27 June 2017 at ICANN59, the first Community Forum under the revised
ICANN Bylaws will be held to discuss the proposal, and the EC will be
coming together to exercise one of the EC's new powers under the revised
ICANN Bylaws.
Here, the Council will discuss the proposed Fundamental Bylaw change and
plan for next steps.
7.1 – Update on current status (GNSO Council chairs)
7.2 – Council Discussion
7.3 – Next Steps
*Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Cross Community Working Group on the Use of
Country and Territory Names (15 minutes)*
On 26 March 2014, the GNSO Council resolved to approve the charter for the
Cross Community Working Group on the Use of Country and Territory Names
(CWG-UCTN). The purpose of the CWG-UCTN was to assess the feasibility of
developing a harmonized framework for the use of country and territory
names that could be applicable across the respective Supporting
Organizations and Advisory Committees.
On 24 February, the CWG-UCTN published its Interim Report for public
comment. While the CWG-UCTN considered two and three-character country
codes, it was determined that consensus was not feasible; the group did not
consider full country and territory names. The CWG-UCTN therefore
recommended that the CWG be closed, that policy efforts within the
community should be consolidated, and that future work must be fully
inclusive of the community.
As a Chartering Organization, the GNSO is expected to consider the
CWG-UCTN’s Final Report [LINK TO BE PROVIDED] and determine next steps.
Here, the Council will discuss the Final Report and its recommendations and
consider next steps.
8.1 – Update on current status (Heather Forrest)
8.2 – Council discussion
8.3 – Next steps
*Item 9. UPDATE – Initiation of the GNSO’s Section 16 Process for Amending
Approved GNSO Policy Recommendations Relating to Certain Red Cross Movement
Names (15 minutes)*
At ICANN58 in Copenhagen in March 2017, representatives from the GNSO
(including the GNSO Council chairs) and the GAC held a dialogue,
facilitated by former Board member Bruce Tonkin, to discuss possible ways
of reconciling inconsistent GAC advice and GNSO policy recommendations
relating to National Society names of the Red Cross Movement and the two
names of the international components of the Movement (http://sched.co/9xr2).
Following that discussion, the ICANN Board passed a resolution requesting
that the GNSO Council initiate the process outlined in Section 16 of the
GNSO’s Policy Development Process (PDP) Manual, which sets forth the
requisite steps for amending policy recommendations that have been approved
by the GNSO Council but not yet approved by the ICANN Board (
https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/
prelim-report-2017-03-16-en#2.e.i). The Board’s request was limited to the
190 Red Cross National Society names, the two international movement names
and a limited defined set of their variants. The Council initiated
electronic voting on the Board’s request on 3 May 2017, with the motion to
initiate the policy amendment process passing
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/gnso-council-motion-recorder-07may17-en.pdf>*
successfully*.
Here the Council will receive an update on the progress of the original PDP
Working Group, reconvened for this purpose in accordance with Section 16,
regarding the policy amendment process.
