Dear Councilors,

Ahead of the official minutes, the following resolutions were passed by the 
GNSO Council at its meeting on Thursday, 24 August 2017. 

 20170824-1

Motion expressing support for continued ICANN community engagement in 
Internet Governance activities appropriate to ICANN’s mission, withdrawal 
as a Chartering Organization from the CCWG-IG and request for a proposal 
for a new structure for GNSO Council consideration by ICANN61)

Submitted by Keith Drazek

Seconded by James Bladel

WHEREAS:

1.The GNSO Council adopted the charter for a Cross Community Working Group 
to discuss Internet governance (CCWG-IG) issues affecting ICANN and make 
recommendations to the chartering organizations on these issues on 15 
October 2014, and as such became a Chartering Organization.

2. The GNSO Council adopted the "Uniform Framework of Principles and 
Recommendations for Cross Community Working Groups" (CCWG Framework) in 
October 2016. The CCWG Framework details the lifecycle of a CCWG including 
initiation, operation, decision-making, and closure, and the GNSO Council 
has observed that the CCWG-IG, whose formation predated the adoption of the 
CCWG Framework, does not follow this lifecycle or some of the principles 
outlined in the CCWG Framework.

3. The GNSO Council recognizes the importance of a continued discussion of 
the topic of Internet governance within an ICANN context, and the continued 
participation by the GNSO in this discussion.

4. The GNSO Council has shared its concerns with the ccNSO Council and 
representatives of other SO/ACs on the current scope of the CCWG-IG and the 
appropriate vehicle through which ICANN SO/ACs may continue to participate 
in Internet governance discussions within the ICANN context.

5. During its meeting on 7 November 2016, the GNSO Council confirmed it 
would continue to participate as a Chartering Organization for the CCWG-IG. 
However, this participation was conditioned upon a comprehensive review of 
the CCWG-IG Charter by the CCWG-IG, in accordance with the CCWG Framework, 
including the possibility that another vehicle may be more suitable for 
cross community discussions on the topic of Internet governance (

<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__gnso.icann.org_en_drafts_uniform-2Dframework-2Dprinciples-2Drecommendations-2D16sep16-2Den.pdf-29&d=DwMGaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=PDd_FX3f4MVgkEIi9GHvVoUhbecsvLhgsyXrxgtbL10DTBs0i1jYiBM_uTSDzgqG&m=eKEp3g-jzrWJGjXP8yoEQ_LEM4W4AQQeLvDrNrf6lDc&s=Sjz-jaxogA3EPF7PxZw8Yi0caM6pokayy_k4yKOok-U&e=> 
.

6. On 11 March 2017, the CCWG-IG submitted a revised charter to the GNSO 
Council (https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2017-March/019819.html) for 
its consideration.

7. The GNSO Council reviewed the charter and discussed it during a number 
of meetings as well as in its meetings with the ccNSO Council. These 
discussions highlighted remaining concerns over the group’s compliance with 
the CCWG Framework as well as its accountability vis-√†-vis the Chartering 
Organizations.

8. During ICANN 59 in Johannesburg, the CCWG-IG held a face-to-face meeting 
that included members of the ICANN Board’s Internet Governance Committee. 
There was discussion about the future of the group, challenges with the 
ongoing nature of Internet Governance, and the constraints imposed by the 
community-developed requirements for CCWG structures.  Members from 
multiple SOs and ACs recognized the challenges and generally agreed that a 
CCWG is not a required vehicle for the important and legitimate work of the 
group, provided the group is able to continue its engagement with adequate 
ICANN support and resources and there is no gap between the retirement of 
the CCWG-IG and the establishment of its successor.

Resolved,   

1.The GNSO Council expresses its gratitude to the CCWG-IG for its work in 
ensuring that discussions on Internet governance take place within the 
ICANN context.

2. The GNSO Council emphasizes that it fully recognizes the importance of 
the continued involvement of the ICANN community in Internet 
governance-related activities that are appropriate to ICANN’s mission.

3. The GNSO Council requests that members of the CCWG-IG and others 
interested parties come together to explore a framework / model that more 
fully addresses the concerns that have been expressed by the GNSO Council, 
and submit this framework / model to the GNSO Council for its consideration 
at the Council meeting mid-way between ICANN 60 and ICANN 61 (e.g. February 
GNSO Council meeting).

4. To facilitate the work as requested under Resolved clause #3, allowing 
for a reasonable time to coordinate with other SOs and ACs to develop a new 
structure, and to ensure there is no gap between the retirement of the 
CCWG-IG and the establishment of its successor group, the GNSO Council 
shall withdraw as a Chartering Organization from the CCWG-IG effective at 
the conclusion of ICANN 61 in San Juan, expecting that a replacement 
structure will be ready for approval by the Council at that time.

5. The GNSO Council emphasizes that its planned withdrawal as a Chartering 
Organization from the CCWG-IG reflects solely the Council’s conclusion 
that, based on the reports it has received from the CCWG-IG, a CCWG is not 
an appropriate vehicle for the CCWG-IG’s work, and the GNSO Council’s 
decision on this narrow point is not intended to prevent any GNSO community 
members who have been participating in the CCWG-IG from continuing to 
participate in the group’s activities should they decide to do so.

6. The GNSO Council requests that the GNSO Secretariat communicate this 
decision to the CCWG-IG and the other Chartering Organizations
