The GNSO Council recently initiated a Policy Development Process (PDP) on the
Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information. As part of its efforts
to obtain broad input from the ICANN Community at an early stage of its
deliberations, the Working Group has requested input from the Supporting
Organizations (including the GNSO) and Advisory Committees on several questions
relating to the issues identified in the PDP Final Issue Report.

Item 7: Update - Forthcoming review of the GNSO (10 mins)
As part of a periodic review process that is built into the ICANN model, ICANN
board initiated reviews of the GNSO (and the GNSO Council and related
functions) are expected. In order to be informed and effectively prepared for
this work, we have begun to engage with the body that commissions such reviews
(the structural improvements committee) through its chair, Ray Plazk.
The Council will track the planning work of the SIC and, where appropriate;
provide relevant input to the process. We will also prepare to undertake a
form of self-review in a similar format to that which we expect to arise out of
the work of the SIC. A self-review will ensure that we are not only prepared
for the board initiated work but also able to flag areas for potential
improvement in as timely as possible a manner.

about how this impacts the role and work of the Council and mindful of the
scope and remit of the Council, what action the Council should or could be
taking.
Item 9: UPDATE & DISCUSSION - Planning for Singapore (15 mins)
Making the most out of the face-to-face meeting time available at the ICANN
Meeting in Buenos Aires will take planning. GNSO Council Vice Chair, David
Cake will lead this and will be working with the Council and staff on this
effort.
Here the Council has the opportunity to feed into plans and provide input
based on past experience. Included in this item will be the opportunity to
shape the approach to and substance of the Council's proposed meetings with

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:
a. Create an Issues Report: requires an affirmative vote of more than
one-fourth (1/4) vote of each House or majority of one House.
b. Initiate a Policy Development Process ("PDP") Within Scope (as described in
Annex A): requires an affirmative vote of more than one-third (1/3) of each
House or more than two-thirds (2/3) of one House.
c. Initiate a PDP Not Within Scope: requires an affirmative vote of GNSO
Supermajority.
d. Approve a PDP Team Charter for a PDP Within Scope: requires an affirmative
vote of more than one-third (1/3) of each House or more than two-thirds (2/3)
of one House.
e. Approve a PDP Team Charter for a PDP Not Within Scope: requires an
affirmative vote of a GNSO Supermajority.
f. Changes to an Approved PDP Team Charter: For any PDP Team Charter approved
under d. or e. above, the GNSO Council may approve an amendment to the Charter
through a simple majority vote of each House.
g. Terminate a PDP: Once initiated, and prior to the publication of a Final
Report, the GNSO Council may terminate a PDP only for significant cause, upon a
motion that passes with a GNSO Supermajority Vote in favor of termination.
h. 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.
i. Approve a PDP Recommendation With a GNSO Supermajority: requires an
affirmative vote of a GNSO Supermajority,
j. 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.
k. Modification of Approved PDP Recommendation: Prior to Final Approval by the
ICANN Board, an Approved PDP Recommendation may be modified or amended by the
GNSO Council with a GNSO Supermajority vote.
l. A "GNSO Supermajority" shall mean: (a) two-thirds (2/3) of the Council
members of each House, or (b) three-fourths (3/4) of one House and a majority
of the other House."
