Thanks Bill.
Fridays was the gist of my question to Council yesterday, i.e. is this an
onlist discussion or one we want to allocate some actual teleconference time
to? Happy to do either. So far, there's only been one request to put this on
the call agenda (Jeff).
On Icann academy, same situation really. I am happy to add an agenda item if
others feel there is something to discuss.

Hi
Just wondering—did we want to talk briefly about either Fridays or ICANN
Academy? If We have views on either to share probably it'd be better to do so
sooner than later, no?
Best,
Bill

Item 3: Best practices for addressing abusive registrations (10 minutes)
Following the recommendation of the Registration Abuse Policies (RAP) Working
Group, the GNSO Council requested a discussion paper on the creation of
non-binding best practices to help registrars and registries address the
abusive registrations of domain names.
The discussion paper recommended the creation of two Working Groups, one to
establish the framework for best practices and one to propose candidate best
practices to address the abusive registration of domain names.
The Council must now consider a motion to set up a drafting team to create the
charter for these groups.

Item 5: International Olympics Committee /Red Cross Names Drafting Team (IOC/RC
DT) (10 minutes)
At its March 26 meeting, the GNSO Council approved the IOC/RC DT's
recommendations (see resolution passed by the Council here
http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions#20120326-1).
On April 10, 2012, the Board established the New gTLD Program Committee and
granted it all of the powers of the Board to exercise Board-level authority for
any and all issues that may arise relating to the New gTLD Program. The
Committee met on 10 April 2012 and resolved not to update the New gTLD
Applicant Guidebook at this time (see
http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/prelim-report-new-gtld-10apr12-en.htm).
In the light of this Board decision, this discussion item aims to determine
whether the Council should disband the IOC/RC DT or whether fresh instructions
should be given to the DT.

5.3 Next Steps
Item 6: Update on the Joint Supporting Organisations/Advisory Committee on New
gTLD Applicant Support Working Group( JAS WG) (10 minutes)
This item aims to provide the Council with a status update on the JAS WG so
that next steps for the group can be determined.
6.1 WG update from Staff (Kurt Pritz)
6.2 Discussion
6.3 Next steps
Item 7: Synthesis of WHOIS Service Requirements - The WHOIS Access
recommendation (10 minutes)
The WHOIS access recommendation was considered as part of the consent agenda at
the Council's 16 February 2012 meeting.
At that meeting, the ISP constituency requested that the proposal to end this
work be removed from the consent agenda and considered as part of the GNSO's
main agenda. A further suggestion was suggested that constituency/stakeholder
members work with Staff to identify a path forward and that the topic be
further discussed at the Costa Rica meetings.
This agenda item is to determine what next steps, if any, should be planned for
this project item.
7.1 Update from Staff (X Y)
7.2 Discussion
7.3 Next steps
Item 8: Update on the Internationalised Registration Data WG (10 minutes)
The IRD submitted its final report to the GNSO Council and SSAC on March 3,
2012 for review and approval.
However, SSAC has recommend some substantial changes and more work may now be
needed by the IRD before its final report can be considered.
This agenda item is to provide an update on these latest developments in the
IRD WG's work to the Council.
8.1 WG update from Staff (Steve Cheng)
