Re: [council] REMINDER: Meeting B [Policy Forum] Helsinki - topics for discussion

[Lars Hoffmann <lars.hoffmann@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

Following Mary's suggestion could I add that Councillors might also want to 
consider discussing the status of the CWG On The Use Of Country And Territory 
As Top-Level Domains in Helsinki.

Carlos and Heather - the GNSO co-chairs of the group - might want to add to 
this.

Many thanks and best wishes
Lars

Hello Donna and everyone,

I hope it’s all right for staff to make a suggestion, in which case I’d like to 
make one on behalf of the Cross Community Working Group whose draft Framework 
of Principles for Future CWGs is now out for public comment. There seems to be 
a high level of interest in the development of a uniform approach to the 
formation and operation of future CWGs, including from the ICANN Board (who I 
understand may be submitting a public comment to the group). The group is also 
targeting Helsinki as the timeframe for completion of its Final Report and 
Framework, which hopefully will also mean that subsequent timely adoption of 
the final Framework will allow it to be used for the next CWG to be formed.

We realize that the topic is not, strictly speaking, substantive policy, but 
given the timing, interest and now the opportunity to convene a cross-community 
dialogue on what the final principles ought to be, we thought the GNSO Council 
might like to consider this as a topic to suggest.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

Subject: [council] REMINDER: Meeting B [Policy Forum] Helsinki - topics for 
discussion

It would be really great to get everyone’s input here.

Subject: [council] Meeting B [Policy Forum] Helsinki

Last Thursday Volker and I attended a call, hosted by Chris Disspain from the 
Board, to start planning for Meeting B (Policy Forum), in Helsinki in June.

As a first step, we have been asked to, by 8 April 2016,  identify a list of 
issues or topics that the GNSO would be interested in discussing at small or 
large cross-community sessions during the Helsinki meeting.

It would seem that as a rough guide the afternoons will be assigned for 
cross-community engagement and the mornings will be made available for 
independent SO/AC work or bilateral meetings depending on requirements; 
however, the schedule will be developed once it is better understood what the 
respective requirements of all SOs and ACs.

It is not expected that there will be a public forum, the Board will not meet 
with constituencies separately, ie no Constituency Tuesday, and no formal Board 
meeting.

As discussed in Marrakech, there was support for the idea that the Policy Forum 
be used as an opportunity to progress policy development processes, namely:


·         PDP New gTLD Subsequent Procedures

·         PDP Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in all gTLDs

·         PDP on Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Service

The Council could also use some of the time available in Helsinki to discuss 
workload prioritisation and working methods, but these are just suggestions.

As we will need to inform Tanzanica King of our topics by 8 April, it would be 
useful if we could receive individual contributions by 5 April so that we can 
agree a consolidated list to provide to Tanzie on the 8th.

We look forward to hearing from all of you on the issue of topics and issues 
you would like discussed in Helsinki.

Thanks

Donna
