Matters of interest to ALAC/At-Large

• Item 1: Administrative Matters

  • Minutes of the GNSO Council meeting on 21 July 2022 were posted on 05 August 2022.

  • Minutes of the GNSO Council meeting on 25 August 2022 were posted on 07 September 2022.

• Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Registration Data Accuracy Scoping Team - Assignments #1 (Enforcement and Reporting) and #2 (Measurement of Accuracy) Write Up & Process for Finding a New Chair
  • The Scoping Team, initiated in July 2021, was tasked with considering a number of accuracy-related factors such as the current enforcement, reporting, measurement, and overall effectiveness of accuracy-related efforts. These considerations are expected to help inform its deliberations and the development of recommendations to Council on whether any changes are recommended to improve accuracy levels, and, if so, how and by whom these changes would need to be developed (for example, if changes to existing contractual requirements are recommended, a PDP or contractual negotiations may be necessary to effect a change). 
  • The Scoping Team has since completed Assignment #1 (enforcement and reporting) and Assignment #2 (measurement of accuracy) and submitted its write up to the Council on 5 September 2022 where the group is suggesting moving forward with 2 proposals that would not require access to registration data, namely a registrar survey and a possible registrar audit that may help further inform the team’s work on Assignment #3 (effectiveness) and Assignment #4 (impact & improvements), while it awaits the outcome of the outreach to the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) by ICANN org in relation to proposals that would require access to registration data.
• Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - PDP Improvements Tracker - Review of Format
  • During the ICANN73 wrap up, the Council discussed a number of parallel conversations that have emerged since implementing PDP 3.0, identifying other aspects of the PDP where improvements could be considered. In addition, there are a number of projects on the Council’s Action Decision Radar (ADR) related to PDP improvements which will need to be addressed at some point in the future.
  • Following a staff discussion paper, a draft of the PDP Improvements Tracker was reviewed during a series of Council meetings.
  • Thereafter, a survey is being done to obtain initial input from Council members as well as SG/C leadership that will help inform the substantive review of the proposed improvements and next steps.
• Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Whois Disclosure System
  • The proposed design of the Whois Disclosure System will have been published prior to ICANN75 and will be presented on Saturday of ICANN75, and the small team and Council will have had an initial discussion during the session immediately following the ICANN Org presentation in order to review the proposed design and consider next steps.
  • Council will seek to distill and discuss the conversations with ICANN org, the small team, GAC, and the Board and determine next steps.
