At ICANN57 in Hyderabad, the GNSO Council discussed the issue with
ICANN’s Global Domains Division staff in charge of policy
implementation, and it was suggested that the most appropriate course of
action would be to to request that the ICANN Board direct staff to
remove the privacy/proxy services aspect from the IRTP and place it for
evaluation and recommendation by the newly formed Privacy Proxy Services
Accreditation Issues Implementation Review Team.
A draft letter to the Board was circulated to the Council on 21 November.

At ICANN57 in Hyderabad, SO/AC leaders (including the chairs of several
GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies) met with ICANN staff to
discuss the selection process for appointments to the forthcoming
Security, Stability & Resiliency (SSR) Review Team. It was agreed that
selection of the final slate of Review Team members should be a
collective effort by all SO/AC leaders, and that each SO/AC would
develop its own internal guidelines for selecting its representatives
for consideration (up to a maximum of 3 per SO/AC). The group also
discussed how independent experts should be appointed to the Review
Team. The current slate of applicants can be viewed

*Item 11: **COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Planning for ICANN58 (10 minutes)*
At its Wrap Up Session at ICANN57 in Hyderabad, the Council discussed
the need to start planning early for ICANN58. It also agreed that
confirming certain sessions (including joint meetings with other SO/ACs
and the ICANN Board) as fixed in the overall meeting schedule would be
helpful for scheduling purposes, as would facilitating better
coordination between and with individual Stakeholder Groups and
Constituencies, and ensuring that sufficient time is given over to
policy development work. Here the Council will discuss initial
suggestions for the ICANN58 meeting schedule and consider next

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[icann.org]
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.icann.org_en_about_governance_bylaws-23AnnexA&d=DQMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=U4IBJYYYko8geLjSlTyOXbvtmoVER-_lK-PAQ64rKHs&m=55oYi9y1UeIL5juaxAkqpioz33PyWqjoetRz4HfuZU0&s=6qYeakEV77hP5ukN3QtuJnVBlWJAK4tFqiH0uErMfvE&e=>):

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."
