One topic that was discussed with the Board is that of a pilot in order to test a few hypotheses. Everyone realizes this is a big project. There are questions on the financial sustainability, useage, etc. We will go back to the GNSO Council and then to the Board. 
  • ALAC (Alan Greenberg and Hadia Elminiawi) - Hadia noted that the implementation timeline of 5-6 years raises many questions. Will this system be obsolete in 6 years? Is it flexible enough? Alan raised point that many believe that the ODA will not meet needs. Noted the ALAC is against the SSAD.

Regardless of whether this is classified as policy or implementation, there is recognition that there is much work to be done. The GNSO Council is exploring if some of the work can be done now.

Once we hear back from the community at the end of March, they will have a meeting. Noted they wish to scope something attainable. 
  • ALAC (Jonathan Zuck) - The task in  front of us is who can be doing what. The DNS Abuse Institute, policy and ICANN. We need to do the homework on what steps fall in the rights hands. Would like ICANN Compliance can sit down with them and work things out. The ALAC will do our best to do our assessments. It is possible that the GNSO has a role in developing in the trusted notifier program. Acknowledged that we have received the letter with three broad questions.
