[Glen de Saint Géry <Glen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,
The resolution  to adopt  the Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP 
Proceedings Policy Development Process Final Report and Recommendations carried 
unanimously at the GNSO Council meeting on Thursday, 1 August 2013.

WHEREAS

 1. On 15 December 2011, the GNSO Council launched a Policy Development Process 
(PDP) on the Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings to make 
recommendations to the GNSO Council to address the issues identified with the 
locking of a domain name subject to UDRP Proceedings.

2. This PDP has followed the prescribed PDP steps as stated in the Bylaws, 
resulting in a Final Report delivered on 5 July 2013;

3. The Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings WG has reached full 
consensus on the recommendations in relation to addressing the issues 
identified with the locking of a domain name subject to UDRP Proceedings;

4. The GNSO Council has reviewed and discussed these recommendations.

Now therefore be it resolved,

 1. The GNSO Council recommends to the ICANN Board of Directors the adoption of 
the Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings recommendations as 
detailed in the Final Report 
http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/locking/domain-name-final-05jul13-en.pdf

 2. The GNSO Council shall convene a Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP 
Proceedings Implementation Review Team to assist ICANN Staff in developing the 
implementation details for the new policy should it be approved by the ICANN 
Board. The Implementation Review Team will be tasked with evaluating the 
proposed implementation of the policy recommendations as approved by the Board 
and is expected to work with ICANN Staff to ensure that the resultant 
implementation fulfills the intentions of the approved policy recommendations. 
If the Implementation Review Team identifies any potential modifications to the 
policy recommendations or need for new policy recommendations, the 
Implementation Review Team shall refer these to the GNSO Council for its 
consideration and follow-up, as appropriate. Following adoption by the ICANN 
Board of the recommendations, the GNSO Secretariat is authorized to issue a 
call for volunteers for a Locking of a Domain Name subject to UDRP Proceedings 
Implementation Review Team to the members of the Locking of a Domain Name 
subject to UDRP Proceedings Working Group.

 Thank you.
Kind regards
Glen
