As part of the GNSO improvements, the Operations Steering Committee (OSC)'s
Constituency and Stakeholder Group Operations Work Team worked on a set of

proposed that a small group be assisted by Staff to produce a new motion that
would include specific revisions to the charter.

Item 4: UDRP (25 minutes)
Following the drafting of an Issue Report on a possible review of the UDRP, a
motion is before the Council to initiate a PDP on this topic and that a
drafting team be formed to write a charter for the working group.
Refer to motion
https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+15+December+2011
The motion was deferred from the Nov 17 Council meeting.

Item 5: Joint ccNSO/GNSO IDN Working Group (JIG) (15 minutes)
The JIG is proposing that both GNSO and ccNSO councils ask their Chairs to send
to the ICANN Board a letter in response to their August 2011 resolution on
Single Character IDN TLDs.
The letter would note discrepancies between the WG's work and the Board
resolution.
Refer to motion

5.1 Reading of the motion (Ching Chiao)
5.2 Discussion
5.3 Vote
Item 6: Cross-TLD registration scam and domain kiting (10 minutes)
At the previous Council meeting, there was discussion on possible next steps
and decisions that could be made on this topic, following SSAC's response
(http://gnso.icann.org/correspondence/gnso-council-chair-to-faltstrom-10oct11-en.pdf)
.
Staff has suggested several options:
* Adding these issues to the mandate of the Fake Renewal Notices Drafting
Team which is tasked to prepare a request for information for the Registrar
Stakeholder Group to obtain further information on the issue of Fake Renewal
Notices in order to help inform the GNSO Council on the appropriate next steps,
if any. As there are certain similarities, especially between the cross-tld
registration scam and fake renewal notices, it might be possible for this DT to
also try and obtain further information on that specific issue to help inform
the Council's deliberations.
* Continue discussions on the topic of cross-TLD registration scam with the
ccNSO to discuss whether there are any steps that could be taken or considered
jointly. The GNSO Council and the ccNSO Council had some initial discussions on
this topic at its meeting in Dakar and as this is an issue that also affects
ccTLDs there might be common approaches to be explored. As noted, such
approaches might involve improved communication / education in relation to this
issue as it is not clear at this stage that this issue could be addressed
through policy development.
* Do nothing – as there is no set mechanism for data gathering or monitoring
of abuses at the moment or any evidence that these practices are in
non-compliance with ICANN policies or agreements, the GNSO Council could decide
to not undertake any further action at this stage. Note, at any point in time,
should further information or data become available, any Council member or
SO/AC could raise this issue again for further consideration.
This discussion item aims at seeing if this issue should be closed or if work
should continue.
6.1 Discussion
6.2 Next steps
Item 7: Joint SO/AC WG on New gTLD Applicant Support Working Group (JAS WG) (10
minutes)
This agenda item is to update the Council on recent developments in the JAS WG,
and more specifically details of the measures being taken to implement the
recommendations made in the JAS Final Report that was sent to the Board.
7.1 Update from Staff (X Y)
7.2 Discussion
Item 8: Transitioning existing PDP work to the new PDP procedures (10 minutes)
At its meeting on December 8, 2011, the Board adopted the new GNSO PDP.
Out of that comes the following text: 'For all ongoing PDPs initiated prior to
the adoption by the Board, the Council shall determine the feasibility of
transitioning to the procedures set forth in this Annex A for all remaining
steps within the PDP. If the Council determines that any ongoing PDP cannot be
feasibly transitioned to these updated procedures, the PDP shall be concluded
according to the procedures set forth in Annex A in force on before the
adoption of the new Annex A by the Board'.
Currently the following PDPs are under way:
- IRTP Part C (Working Group)
- Thick Whois (Preliminary Issue Report out for public comment)
- RAA (Preliminary Issue Report in preparation)
- Uniformity of Contracts (Preliminary Issue Report in preparation)
- UDRP (pending)
- Law Enforcement recommendations (pending)
8.1 Update from Staff (Margie Milam)
8.2 Discussion
8.3 Next steps
Item 9: Any Other Business (5 minutes)
Appendix 1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN Bylaws, Article X, Section 3)
9. Except as otherwise specified in these Bylaws, Annex A hereto, or the GNSO
Operating Procedures, the default threshold to pass a GNSO Council motion or
other voting action requires a simple majority vote of each House. The voting
thresholds described below shall apply to the following GNSO actions:
1. Create an Issues Report: requires an affirmative vote of more than 25% vote
of each House or majority of one House;
2. Initiate a Policy Development Process (“PDP”) Within Scope (as described in
Annex A): requires an affirmative vote of more than 33% of each House or more
than 66% of one House;
3. Initiate a PDP Not Within Scope: requires an affirmative vote of more than
75% of one House and a majority of the other House (“GNSO Supermajority”);
4. Approve a PDP Recommendation Without a GNSO Supermajority: requires an
affirmative vote of a majority of each House and further requires that one GNSO
Council member representative of at least 3 of the 4 Stakeholder Groups
supports the Recommendation;
5. Approve a PDP Recommendation With a GNSO Supermajority: requires an
affirmative vote of a GNSO Supermajority; and
6. Approve a PDP Recommendation Imposing New Obligations on Certain Contracting
Parties: where an ICANN contract provision specifies that “a two-thirds vote of
the council” demonstrates the presence of a consensus, the GNSO Supermajority
vote threshold will have to be met or exceeded with respect to any contracting
party affected by such contract provision.
