I thought this was quite helpful for us as Council to discuss how we will
organize the ongoing interaction and dialogue with the GAC.

Hello All,
Below is an extract from the GAC Communique regarding cooperation between
GAC and ICANN Board, and the priority issues. Note that new gTLDs, IDNs,
and WHOIS are all listed as priority issues.
Regards,

- GAC-ICANN Board cooperation
The GAC welcomed the inaugural meeting of the Joint Working Group
of the GAC and the ICANN Board. The Joint Working Group will be led
by Alejandro Pisanty on behalf of the ICANN Board and Janis Karklins
(Latvia) on behalf of the GAC. It was acknowledged that in the
immediate term (from Wellington to Marrakesh), it would be important to
improve the timeliness and efficiency of communications between the
GAC and the ICANN Board.
In order to achieve the objectives of enhanced cooperation within the
ICANN context, the GAC acknowledges that there is a need for the GAC
to consider changes in its working methods to enable it to interact more
routinely with the ICANN Board and the community.
Beyond this it was agreed that the working group should as a longer term
issue focus on the role of the GAC vis-à-vis ICANN and the ICANN
Board and it should lead to the creation of a better environment that
facilitates the development and application of public policy principles.
In particular, the GAC has identified the following issues as key priority
areas for early engagement, namely:
a) ccTLDs,
b) IDNs,
c) IPv6 and IP addressing resource allocation,
d) Development and creation of policies on gTLDs, and
e) WhoIS.
