I am very sorry to hear about your Mum David and send my sincere condolences.
 
We missed you in Seoul but appreciate your participation in the voting as was 
possible.  Welcome to our meeting today.  I look forward to meeting you 
in-person, hopefully in Nairobi.
 
Chuck Gomes

        Glen and all
        
        As you know, unfortunately I could not join you in Seoul as my Mum was 
taken ill. She has unfortunately passed away since. I am not yet fully returned 
to working life, but slowly getting there.
        
        I intend to join the call today. 
        
        Kind regards

        Item 6: Special Trademark Issues (STI) Review Team

         

        6.1. Special Trademark Issues update - Zahid Jamil (pending review by 
STI chair)

         

        When this update was written the STI had held four conference calls. 
Two each on each of the two heads (TM Clearinghouse & URS) raised by the 
Board's letter.

        Constituencies represented and ALAC have provided their position 
statements in regards the issues and the Group is currently working on a Common 
Grounds Paper where some issues have reached agreement. This update will avoid 
identifying/characterising issues under discussion or their importance since 
there may be varying views on these.

        There is some interest for a possible face to face meeting to attempt 
resolution of outstanding issues or at least to meet once comments are received 
on the final report of the STI.

        It has been felt by the STI that the time allocated for submission of 
the Final Report is not practically feasible if consensus on all issues is to 
be effectively reached.

        Whereas the GNSO had passed a resolution in its Public meeting at Seoul 
on 28th October 2009 stating that "The GNSO STI review team will provide a 
final report to the GNSO on or before the GNSO's council meeting in late 
November, 2009". There is consensus within the STI Review Team that the time 
available for submission of a final report may not be adequate in order for the 
Review Team to submit meaningful and efficacious report. The Review Team 
suggests that the next meeting of the GNSO be scheduled near enough the 
deadline (14th of December 2009) set by the Board for submission of the GNSO 
response, in order to provide the Review Team with adequate time to effectively 
complete its review and submit a final report before the date of the next GNSO 
meeting to be scheduled before the Board mandated deadline. However, the STI-RT 
intends to deliver its report no later than Monday, 7 December."

         

        6.2. Next steps

         

        ------6.2.1. SG review

        ------6.2.2. Finalization of document

        ------6.2.3. Delivery to the Board (due 14 December 2009)

         

        Item 7: Prioritization of GNSO work

         

        7.1. Status Report Olga

         

        7.2. Next steps?

         

        Item 8: Status updates

         

        8.1. Issues report on vertical separation of Registries & Registrars 
Margie

        Registration Abuse Policies Working Group - Mike Rodenbaugh

        The Registration Abuse Policies Working Group continues its work, and 
has agreed on a schedule to produce an Initial Report in advance of the Nairobi 
meeting. If anyone has any questions, please advise on the list. I will not 
attend the Council call on Nov. 23 (at 3a.m.!).

        Geo Regions Working Group - Olga Cavalli

        The working group is preparing a survey of percieved community 
value/benefits of ICANN Geographic regions framework.
        Draft Interim Report is being reviewed by working group members, these 
comments will be used to prepare a new version of the report.

        Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) Sub-team A (Registrant Rights 
Charter) - Beau Brendler coordinator

        Subteam A met concurrently with subteam B in Seoul, during which time 
we discussed the parameters of the task and reviewed some similar, but not 
necessarily analogous, efforts by other groups (one consumer and one industry) 
to create sets of best practices, guidelines and consumer "bills of rights." 
There was some consensus that the final product would need to be readable and 
understandable by the consumer and not overloaded with legal jargon.

        Subteam A will be having its first conference call next week, either 
Monday or Tuesday, during which time we will briefly discuss, among other 
topics, the recent suggestions of the law enforcement community and the RAA, as 
well as beginning to go line-by-line through the existing charter document.

        Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) subteam B (identifying issues 
for possible RAA amendments) - Steve Metalitz coordinator

         

        At our previous meeting, we had established a target date of November 9 
for submission of lists of topics for possible RAA amendments. Several sets of 
lists were received and a few other topics were identified on the subteam B 
mailing list. Staff prepared a cumulative chart of the topics on these lists, 
and most of our November 18 meeting was spent reviewing this chart. A number of 
questions were raised, especially regarding items on the list submitted by a 
group of law enforcement representatives, and one of these representatives will 
be invited to our next meeting to present the joint law enforcement list and to 
answer questions. The date for the next meeting has not been set but is 
expected to be in early December.

         Constituency/Stakeholder Group Update Report For 23 November GNSO 
Council Meeting - Rob Hoggarth 18 November 2009

         

        Renewed "Re-confirmation" Effoorts for Existing GNSO Constituencies - 
The seating of the new GNSI Cpuncil now frees up some ICANN Board resources to 
address the "re-confirmation" of the existing GNSO Constituencies. Back in 
August of last year, the ICANN Board determined taht if potential new GNSO 
Constituencies were going to be subject to a certification process, then it was 
appropriate to set up a system by which existing GNSO Constituencies could be 
regularly evaluated as well. The Board adopted a concept of "re-confirming" the 
charters and operational mechanisms of each GNSO Constituency every three years 
(see- http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/minutes-28aug08.htm)._ 
<http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/minutes-28aug08.htm)._> 

         

        The initial Constituency re-confirmation process was slated for earlier 
this year, but the process took a back seat as the Board focused its efforts on 
evaluation and approval of the new GNSO Stakeholder Group structures and 
approval of the processes and recommended Bylaws changes necessary for seating 
the new GNSO Council. Now that the Board has generally resolved those issues, 
it has set a deadline of March 2010 for formal re-submission of any revised 
re-confirmation proposals by the existing GNSO Constituencies and has directed 
the ICANN Staff to assist constituency leaders in developing those submissions 
(see - 30 October 2009 Board Meeting Resolutions - Consent Agenda Item 1.3 
<http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-30oct09-en.htm#1> ).

         

        The GNSO Constituency Operations Work Team is also making progress on a 
set of recommendations for review by the Operating Steering Committee. A 
document may be completed by the work team next month and that work product 
could be combined with the re-confirmation effort.

         

        The Board is also awaiting charter updates to reflect the new 
Stakeholder Group structures from the Commercial and Business Users 
Constituency and the Internet Service and Connectivity Providers Constituency 
and has instructed Staff to provide assistance in completing those efforts.

         

        _Potential New GNSO Constituencies Remain Under Consideration -_ICANN 
Board members conducted substantial discussions in Seoul regarding the 
proposals for four new GNSO Constituencies but took no formal action.__All four 
of the proposed new GNSO Constituency charters (CyberSafety, Consumers, City 
TLDs and IDNgTLDs) remain "pending." The latest public documents regarding the 
proposals are located here - 
http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/newco-process-en.htm 
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/newco-process-en.htm> . The process also 
remains available for other interested parties to develop proposals for new 
GNSO Constituencies and to submit them to the Board.

         

        _Permanent Stakeholder Group Charters -_When the Board approved the 
four (4) new GNSO Stakeholder Group structures earlier this year it 
acknowledged that the charters for the Commercial Stakeholder Group and the Non 
Commercial Stakeholder Group were to be transitional/temporary and that 
permanent charters were to be developed over the course of the coming year. The 
Board is already examining some options being considered by the community for 
what permanent charters might look like. Based on discussions in Seoul, the 
Staff will be working to develop opportunities for dialogue and further 
community discussion of these important matters.
