[Npoc-discuss] GNSO "To Do" List

[Sam Lanfranco]

NPOC Colleagues,

We will likely be getting this list of twelve “to do” items from our 
GNSO Councilors (several whom are new in their positions). As you can 
see, they have a heavy load to carry, so they will need our help. Some 
items are of particular interest to our positions as stakeholder groups. 
/This is just an NPOC Discuss posting with some commentary to help move 
things along. /

a)/Expired Registration Recovery Policy – Policy Review & Rec 27 
(ERRP-PR)/ - The ERRP Consensus Policy became effective 31 Aug 2013 as a 
result of adopted recommendations produced from the GNSO’s Post 
Expiration Domain Name Recovery (PEDNR) PDP WG. That WG deliberated on 
issues related to the expiration of domain names and to what extent a 
Registrant should be able to recover domain names after they expire.

b)*/Policy & Implementation Recommendations Review/* - The GNSO Council 
resolved in June 2015 that a “review of these recommendations is carried 
out at the latest five years following their implementation to assess 
whether the recommendations have achieved what they set out to do and/or 
whether any further enhancements or changes are needed”.

c)/EPDP on the Temporary Specification on gTLD Registration Data (Phase 
3)/ – addressing items that are addressed in phase 2 such as priority 2 
items that are dependent on external factors.

d)/Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs PDP/ – Phase 
2 Review of UDRP (RPM)

e)/Transfer Policy – Policy Review Scoping Team -/ ICANN Org delivered 
the most recent version of the Transfer Policy Status Report (TPSR) to 
the GNSO Council on 22 April 2019. The TPSR provides details on the 
noted purposes of the Transfer Policy (formerly known as the 
Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP)), an overview of the domain name 
transfer process, the impact of the Temporary Specification and the 
Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) on the Transfer Policy, metrics 
related to the Transfer Policy, and a summary of the public comments and 
survey responses to the published TPSR. The GNSO Council formed a 
Transfer Policy Review Scoping Team to scope the work and advise the 
Council on next steps.

f)/Internationalized Domain Names/ - The GNSO Council established a 
scoping team to study the full extent of the impacts from both the IDN 
Variant TLD Recommendations and the IDN Guidelines upon existing 
registry agreements and future applicants, to determine the range of 
issues and appropriate mechanisms needed to address them (e.g., policy 
development, direct engagement with ICANN Org, other). This scoping team 
is limited to the tasks of identifying the scope of the issues and 
making a recommendation to the GNSO Council on the best mechanism(s) for 
resolution. Once in receipt of the recommendations from the scoping 
team, the GNSO Council will determine the appropriate next steps.

g)/WHOIS Procedure Implementation Advisory Group/ – (WPIAG) – group 
tasked to review ICANN Procedure for Handling Whois Conflicts with 
Privacy Laws

h)/DNS Abuse/ – potential work addressing DNS Abuse following community 
wide discussions on this topic

i)*/Multistakeholder Model Evolution/* / PDP improvements – work items 
coming out community wide discussions concerning the MS Evolution and/or 
PDP 3.0 follow up items.

j)/Rec 27*[1]* <#_ftn1>: Review of Thick RDDS (Whois) Transition Policy/ 
for .COM, .NET, and .JOBS & Registry Registration Data Directory 
Services Consistent Labeling and Display

k)/Rec 27: Review of Proxy and Privacy Services/ Accreditation & 
Translation & Transliteration of Contact Information

[1] <#_ftnref1> Recommendation 27 from EPDP Phase 1: The EPDP Team 
recommends that as part of the implementation of these policy 
recommendations, updates are made to the following existing policies / 
procedures, and any others that may have been omitted, to ensure 
consistency with these policy recommendations as, for example, a number 
of these refer to administrative and/or technical contact which will no 
longer be required data elements. For the purposes of this survey, items 
have been clustered based on initial assessment of effort required to 
resolve and possible linkage. However, the Council may decide to deal 
with these items in a different cluster or individually.
