STATUS UPDATES
Date | Phase | Type | Status Updates |
---|---|---|---|
| Phase 2 | Phase Update | As noted at the joint Board-ALAC session at ICANN75, the Board greatly appreciates the ALAC's responses to the Board's questions. The Board continues to review and consider the ALAC advice, to determine whether, in addition to informing the Board’s deliberations, there are actionable items that may require Board action before (or after) the Board takes action on the SubPro policy recommendations. The Board anticipates that this exercise will be completed in the first half of 2023 and that a response to the advice would come at the time of action on the SubPro Final Report – or shortly thereafter. |
| Phase 2 | AP Feedback | The ALAC is open to the Board’s proposed approach for an applicant / Registry that wishes to apply for an RVC must also demonstrate an objective evaluation methodology for such RVC - to be applicable to RVCs only - and we are prepared to discuss this approach further. We suggest that such an approach would also benefit from the use of the Board’s Global Public Interest Framework on Commitment a.iv, Core value b.ii, and Core value b.vi, and with reference to GAC Consensus Advice. We further suggest that such an approach must also be subject to community input. Notwithstanding, there remains a crucial need for more particularized reporting by ICANN Contractual Compliance in respect of thresholds which are derived and used to assess compliance or non-compliance of an RVC for action to be taken by ICANN. |
| Phase 2 | Clarifying Question | The Board would like to discuss with the ALAC a possible different approach to the enforcement of PICs/RVCs which places more responsibility on an applicant / Registry to develop RVCs which incorporate an objective evaluation methodology. |
