GNSO Wrap-Up Session Prague 2012-06-28

Defensive registrations paper – any next steps / links with other ongoing initiatives (RC/IOC DT, IGO Issue Paper), see also request from new gTLD Program Committee ('Resolved (2012.04.10.NG2), while the New gTLD Program Committee is not directing any changes to the Applicant Guidebook to address defensive gTLD applications at this time, the New gTLD Program Committee directs staff to provide a briefing paper on the topic of defensive registrations at the second level and requests the GNSO to consider whether additional work on defensive registrations at the second level should be undertaken')

'Thick' Whois PDP – with the renewal of the .com agreement (see http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-23jun12-en.htm#2), does the Council still want to wait until November before a DT is formed to develop a charter for the 'thick' Whois PDP WG?

WHOIS Policy Final Review Team - 'Resolved (2012.06.23.26), the Board encourages public input on the Final Report and Recommendations, and requests that the ASO, ccNSO, GNSO, ALAC, GAC, and SSAC provide input to the Board by 31 August 2012' (see http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-23jun12-en.htm#5) - does the GNSO Council want to provide input and if so, how to proceed?
GNSO Review – does the GNSO Council want to send a message to the SIC or set up a discussion with regard to its views on the next GNSO Review?

One additional item we might consider adding is a discussion of how the GNSO Council would like to engage in a dialogue of next steps re: IRD WG report and recommendations, with the idea that a GNSO view (or views if diverse) could be forwarded to the Board by a certain time.
