> The GNSO Council was asked this week by the board to work with the Government 
> Advisory Committee to provide policy advice in response to a December 13 
> letter from Intergovernmental Organizations legal counsel seeking provision 
> for a targeted exclusion of third party registrations of the names and 
> acronyms of IGOs both at the top and second level, at least during ICANN’s 
> first application round of new gTLDs.
>  
> The timing of the application process does not allow adequate time for the 
> GNSO Council to address this matter.
>  
> It is an issue, though, that needs to be addressed for future rounds, at both 
> the first and second levels.  But, as the legal counsel represent 
> Intergovernmental Organizations, the focus first needs to rightly be on them 
> working with the GAC to provide advice to the Board.  The Board can, as is 
> explicit in the organizational design of ICANN, then ask the GNSO Council to 
> deal with the policy implications.
>  
> In the near term, the Council will re-visit a motion on providing top tier 
> considerations for the IOC and Red Cross to meet the deadline of the first 
> round of the new gTLDs.
