10. 4. 3. (JIG) Joint ccNSO GNSO IDN Group - Edmon Chung
A quick update on the JIG (Joint ccNSO/GNSO IDN Group):
ccNSO had more than 5 volunteers for the group and therefore is in the process of deciding which 5 to nominate to the group
In the meantime, Jane and I had extended invitations to different individuals in other parts of the ICANN community (e.g. GAC/SSAC/ALAC) to solicit their participation in the group
10. 4. 3. ACSO Meetig in Seoul - Avri Doria
It is suggested that we run our ACSO session on Monday afternoon with the general topic being ‘the introduction of IDN ccTLDs’. The reason for this is that current indications are that the Board may sign off on this in Seoul and it is important that each AC and SO has an opportunity to express any concerns they may have. The ACSO session would be scheduled with the staff (Tina, Kurt and team) IDN session acting as an introduction.

Registrar Survey: Marika is ready to work on these, and will be reaching out to known registrar reps for answers or an appropriate contact within the organization.
Discussion of a workshop during the Seoul meeting - scheduling & remote access facilities, what other meetings may conflict, concern that new gTLD sessions would take away our participants, potential conflict with an ALAC event.
Public Comment summary and analysis
** 14 Comments Rec’d, 13 participants (1 commented twice)
** Answers grouped by charter questions.
** Feedback on other issues (not related to charter questions) were also collected
** Constituency Statements: IPC, RSG not posted yet or included in analysis.
** Discussion of a "drop box" during Seoul to receive anonymous comments.
Some discussion about Registry Practices. Notably, the extension of the date during auto-renew grace period which could give registrants the impression that the date had renewed.
Discussed a shift in the timeline. I will likely be posing this request to the Council (2 wk extension).
Continued discussion on Charter question 1 - Does registrant have sufficient opportunity to renew names prior to expiry?

10. 6. Drafting Teams
10. 6. 1. Travel Policy Drafting Team - Olga Cavalli
As mentioned in previous messages sent to the GNSO Council, Kevin Wilson informed us that there is some flexibility for additional support to travel so Seoul for retiring GNSO councellors.
GNSO should send the information about this names asap, so far these expression of interest for funding have been sent to the GNSO list:
ISPCP Council members
Tony Holmes - Funded to attend NomCom meeting in Seoul, would need additional hotel/per diem funding.
Tony Harris - Would need full funding for Seoul.
GNSO should confirm who else would be interested in this funding and formally make the request to ICANN Staff asap.
A face to face meeting of the travel drafting team will be scheduled with ICANN staff during the ICANN Seoul meeting. Once the date and time are established, this information will be sent to the drafting team list.
10. 6. 2. IDNG Working Group update - IDNG Draft Charter Edmon Chung
On Hold while JIG is getting underway.
10. 7. GNSO Improvement Work Teams
10. 7. 1. Policy Process Steering Committee (PPSC) Policy Development Process (PDP) work team (WT) - Jeff Neuman
The PDP-WT is finalizing its discussions on the ’proposal review and voting threshold’ stage (stage two out of five), and is expected to start discussions shortly on stage three ’Work Phase’.
A first draft of the recommendations for the ’planning and initiation’ stage (stage one out of five) has been circulated to the WT for review and discussion.
In addition, a survey has been distributed to all members of the Work Team with respect to stage 2 to solicit additional feedback and to develop concrete recommendations to include in a draft document.
10. 7. 2. PPSC Working Group work team WGWT - J. Scott Evans
Our group divided its work into two sections.
First, we are developing a Charter Drafting Guidelines document that would assist groups that are chartering a Working Group in putting together an appropriate Charter.
Second, we are putting together a Working Group Operating Model Guidebook that would be used by Working Groups to understand how to operate a working group.
Currently, we have finished the work on a majority of the Charter Drafting Guidelines document. We hope to have a call for consensus for about 90% of the document within the next 2 weeks. However, because certain sections of the Charter Drafting Guidelines cross-reference information in the Working Group Operating Model Guidebook, there are a couple of sections for which we will have to delay the call for consensus until such time as the Working Group Operating Model Guidebook is finalized. Hence, we plan to start work on the second document next week.
We are cognizant that some portions of the Working Group Operating Model Guidebook are reliant on working going on in other parts of the reorganization effort and we have every intention (with the assistance of our able staff liaisons) to ensure that our work compliments and/or incorporates the work of these other groups before being finalized.
We have a rough draft of this second document prepared and will now begin the task of refining the text.
It is our hope to have the document in a position to have an intense drafting session in Seoul so that we can have a draft to put out a call for consensuses soon thereafter.
