It will be removed from the Pending Projects list. If anyone objects, please say so by COB Tuesday Jan 4.</div><div><br></div><div>Next is the VI WG. The Council passed a resolution in Cartagena to end the WG. I am asking Staff to remove it from the PP list as of now.</div><div><br></div><div>Next is the Geo Regions WG. Olga is also Chair of this group and reports that there is still ongoing activity. I have therefore asked Staff to update the PP list with Olga's report and to keep this WG on the active list.</div><div><br></div><div>Last project on this initial review is the Fast Flux WG. This has seen no Council action since 2009. In order to close this completely, the best course of action seems to be to transfer what remains to the RAP group. I am therefore making a motion in this regard. Please find the motion attached and reprinted below.</div><div><br></div><div>A second would be appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>Once this initial effort at prioritization is concluded, the Council Leaders will then look at trying to rank the remaining active projects and we will come back to the Council with some proposals then.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Stéphane</div><div><br></div><div>The motion:</div><div><br></div><div><!--StartFragment--><p><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Motion on the implementation of the Fast Flux recommendations that were adopted by the GNSO Council on 3 September 2009<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Whereas the Fast Flux PDP Working Group submitted its Final Report to the GNSO Council on 13 August 2009;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Whereas the Fast Flux PDP Working Group did not make recommendations for new consensus policy, or changes to existing policy, but did develop several other recommendations that were adopted by the Council on 3 September 2009 (see </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-03sep09.htm"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-03sep09.htm</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">);<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Whereas the GNSO Council intended to create a drafting team to </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">develop a plan with a set of priorities and schedule to address the adopted recommendations for review and consideration by the GNSO Council;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"">Whereas due to workload and other priorities such a drafting team was never created;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"">Whereas the Council tasked the Council leadership at the wrap up meeting at the ICANN meeting in Cartagena to put forward proposals to </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-font-family: Arial">suggest which projects should be continued and discontinued</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"">;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"">Whereas the Council leadership has reviewed the Fast Flux Recommendations that were adopted by the GNSO Council, also in light of the recent recommendations made by the</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"> Registration Abuse Policies Working Group;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Whereas the Council leadership has recommended the approach outlined below to the GNSO Council for consideration as an acceptable way of implementing the adopted recommendations and therewith closing the project;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">RESOLVED,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="margin-left:18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;
