ICANN's CEO has requested GNSO Council input on the Strawman
Proposal<http://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/chehade-to-robinson-04dec12-en.pdf>
developed through the TMCH related implementation discussions, which has been
posted for public comment.
http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-30nov12-en.htm.
ICANN's CEO additionally requested Council input on the joint proposal from the
Business Constituency/Intellectual Property Constituency (BC/IPC) for a
"limited preventative registration mechanism" which is also currently available
for public comment. A subsequent note (19 December 2012) from ICANN's CEO
clarified the desired deadline for input to be no later than 22 February 2013.
Related to this discussion is the Staff briefing paper
(http://gnso.icann.org/en/node/32287) to the GNSO Council on the topic of
defensive registrations at the second level, in response to a previous request
from the New GLTD Committee (2012.04.10.NG2). The New GTLD Committee requested
the GNSO to consider whether additional work on defensive registrations at the
second level should be undertaken.
The Council is to continue to discuss: (i) a response to the ICANN CEOs
request, and (ii) to consider whether to undertake any additional work related
to the BC/IPC proposal and/or the Staff briefing paper, on the topic of second
level defensive registrations.

At its 26 November 2012 meeting, the Board requested that the GNSO continue
its work on policy recommendations on top and second-level protections for
certain IGO and INGO names on an expedited basis.
In addition, the Board requested that the GNSO Council advise the Board by no
later than 28 February 2013 if it is aware of any concern such as with the
global public interest or the security or stability of the DNS, that the Board
should take into account in making its decision about whether to include second
level protections for certain IGO names and acronyms by inclusion on a Reserved
Names List in section 2.2.1.2.3 of the Applicant Guidebook, applicable in all
new gTLD registries approved in the first round of the New gTLD Program. The
specific IGO names to be protected shall be those names or acronyms that: 1)
qualify under the current existing criteria to register a domain name in the
.int gTLD; and 2) have a registered .int domain OR a determination of
eligibility under the .int criteria; and 3) apply to ICANN to be listed on the
reserved names list for the second level prior to the delegation of any new
gTLDs by no later than 28 February 2013.

interest to undertake further work on this issue. At the same time, ICANN Staff

ICANN Board, an Approved PDP Recommendation may be modified or amended by the
GNSO Council with a GNSO Supermajority vote.
