ALAC-GNSO Council Bilateral Session during ICANN73 on 9 Mar 2022

Topic 1 (4a): System for Standardized Access/Disclosure Operational Design Assessment (SSAD ODA)
- ALAC: How does Council intend to proceed with its recommendations on the SSAD given the concerns raised by the ICANN Board, which also reflect concerns contained in the ALAC's Statement of 24 Aug 2020?
- GNSO Council SSAD ODA Small Team:
  - Noted that community has raised that the SSAD ODA does not provide all the answers in considering SSAD recommendations for implementation.
  - SSAD is a big project, there are questions on the financial sustainability, usage, etc. Possibility of a pilot in order to test a few hypotheses.
  - Still early days for GNSO and small team to review. Small team will go back to the GNSO Council and then to the Board.
Topic 2 (4b): Subsequent Procedures Operational Design Phase (SubPro ODP)
- ALAC: Could Council provide an update on the SubPro ODP process, including questions being discussed with the ICANN Org SubPro ODP Team? What is Council doing within the ODP process to address known issues for the next round?
- GNSO Council Liaison to SubPro ODP:
  - ICANN Org is responsible for implementation of SubPro Outputs (i.e. affirmations, recommendations, implementation guidance). ICANN Org SubPro ODP team is led by the Global Domains and Strategy department.
  - Noted that two sets of questions have been received from SubPro ODP team
  - GNSO submitted answers to the first set and are working through the second set. GNSO Council discussed set #2 questions over two meetings: recognition that there is much work to be done still regardless of whether the work is classified as policy or implementation. GNSO Council is exploring if some of the work can be done now.
Topic 3 (4c): DNS Abuse Mitigation
- ALAC: Has Council arrived at any next steps regarding DNS Abuse? How would Council take on board inputs/efforts from other parts of the ICANN Community on such next steps? Would Council be able to share an indication of its plan and timeline for such next steps?
- GNSO Council DNS Abuse Small Team:
  - GNSO council has sent outreach forms to the community (including ALAC). with responses expected by end of March.
  - No agreement reached yet on definition(s) of DNS Abuse; looking for community input to arrive at aspects that can be addressed by policy/policy development so that a more complete policy action can be scoped towards something attainable.
  - Will regroup at the end of March, they will have a meeting.
Topic 4 (4d): Priorities for 2022
- i. GNSO: SSAD, SubPro, DNS Abuse, IDNs, IGO, and Scoping Team on Data Accuracy
- ii. ALAC: Member Engagement - implementation of recommendations from (a) the ALS Mobilization Working Party Final Report, and (b) the Unaffiliated Individual Members Mobilization Working Party Final Report
