Thanks Donna.  I have taken the proposed new language to the IPC list and hope 
to have feedback quickly.

Best,
Paul

Paul, all

Please accept the language below for consideration as potential replacement 
language provided below by Paul. This language supersedes an earlier email I 
sent to the list. I apologise for any confusion.

Just to be clear, this language is relevant to Item 2 of the Council response 
to the GAC communique.

Proposed language from the RySG:
The GNSO Council observes that ICANN is only one party to its contracts; the 
others are registries or registrars. It is inappropriate for one party to a 
contract to unilaterally define standards for reporting enforcement.  
Contracted parties voluntarily have developed, and continue to develop, various 
operational practices that proactively address abuse in various forms.

To replace the following language suggested by Paul:
Some contracted parties to ICANN have or are in the process of developing a 
number of “best practices” initiatives related to registry and registrar 
operations. ICANN is responsible for setting standards for abuse reporting and 
performance when determining compliance with contractual obligations.

If the RySG language is acceptable, Paul’s response would read:
The GNSO Council would like to express concern that the list of questions set 
out in Annex 1 has been categorised as “advice”.  In this context, the term 
“advice” ought to be given its ordinary dictionary meaning, and a request to 
the Board to provide various data and information does not constitute “GAC 
Advice”, as this term is used in the ICANN Bylaws.  Since GAC Advice has a 
specific status and treatment under the under the ICANN Bylaws, precision of 
terminology is crucial to avoid any perception that there is an attempt to 
direct the Board, rather than making a request for information and attempting 
to impose a reasonable deadline for its provision.  That said, the GNSO Council 
looks forward to reviewing ICANN’s responses to the questions listed in Annex 1 
to the Communiqué.  The GNSO Council observes that ICANN is only one party to 
its contracts; the others are registries or registrars. It is inappropriate for 
one party to a contract to unilaterally define standards for reporting 
enforcement.  Contracted parties voluntarily have developed, and continue to 
develop, various operational practices that proactively address abuse in 
various forms. The issue of DNS Abuse Mitigation raised by the GAC may also be 
dealt with by the GNSO in GNSO PDP Working Groups, producing relevant Consensus 
Policy recommendations then duly adopted by the Board.  Further, the issue of 
DNS Abuse Mitigation raised by the GAC is dealt with by the GNSO as the issue 
arises, whether it be various active and/or open projects on the Projects

I do want to reiterate a previous suggestion I had made in that I do believe it 
would be worthwhile to elevate the comments about the definition of GAC Advice 
to the letter of transmittal.

Thanks

Donna

Hi All,

The IPC has had a chance to consider the draft language for Section 2 and 
propose the following (heavily) edited draft response:

out in Annex 1 has been categorised as “advice”.  In this context, the term 
“advice” ought to be given its ordinary dictionary meaning, and a request to

I'm very happy to discuss the rationale for these proposed changes.
