Transcript
1.4 – Note the status of minutes for the previous Council meetings per the GNSO Operating Procedures:
Draft minutes of the meeting of the GNSO Council on 18 February 2016 will be posted as approved on 6 March 2016.
Item 2: Opening Remarks
James Bladel provided a brief overview of the meeting and noted that there would be no vote to approve or reject the CWG recommendations, but that the meeting would provide an opportunity to discuss whether the concerns raised within the various stakeholder groups have been addressed or mitigated by the latest supplemental report and be updated on the work occurring at the stakeholder group level.
Item 3: DISCUSSION – Final Report and Recommendations from the Cross-Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability
Thomas Rickert provided an update on the Final Report and Recommendations from the Cross-Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability to the Council and guests.
Council members and guests provided updates on the work occurring in the Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies.
Relevant points of discussion raising further Council action/discussion:
Whether there is need for a process by which the GNSO community (as distinguished from the GNSO Council) will invoke and exercise its Community Powers [NOTE: The CCWG-Accountability remit did not include looking into the rules and procedures within each ICANN Supporting Organization or Advisory Committee; it is for each SO/AC to determine what its own internal rules and procedures are or should be]
Action Item for Council: further discussion needed
The proposed approach for the Council in Marrakech, including voting on the CCWG-Accountability recommendations
Action Item for Council: each Councilor to review, including consideration of possible implications where individual recommendations are voted on separately but one or more fails to pass
Implementation considerations and the need for the GNSO (and other SO/ACs) to monitor implementation of adopted recommendations, especially Bylaws changes.
Action Item for Council: continue discussion on post-adoption steps
James Bladel, GNSO Council chair, adjourned the GNSO Council teleconference and thanked everyone for their participation.
The meeting was adjourned at 22:53UTC.
The next GNSO Council Public Meeting will take place on Wednesday, 9 March 2016 in Marrakech, Morocco at 13:30 WET (13:30 UTC).
