• Item 2: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Proposal of SubPro Small Team Triage Exercise

  • During its informal session at ICANN76 and the subsequent Council meeting, the Council discussed and agreed to task a small team of interested councilors to review the recommendations that the Board placed in a pending status and suggest to the full Council how the underlying concerns that caused the pending status can be best addressed (i.e., a limited triage exercise). 

  • Since ICANN76, the Council SubPro Small Team has met several times and has completed an initial run through of the issues chart, with an update from Board members on why the Board placed specific recommendations into a pending status. Now that its review is complete, the Small Team discussed proposals on how to respond to these items.

  • Council will receive a comprehensive update from the Small Team regarding its proposed responses to the pending Board items, and discuss next steps.

Special Summary Report of 4 May 2023 Extraordinary Meeting to ALT-PLUS

The GNSO Council May 2023 Extraordinary Meeting had been convened for a single purpose, which is to receive a comprehensive update from the GNSO SubPro Small Team regarding its proposed responses to the pending 38 Board items, and to discuss next steps.

Outcome: Council adopted the small teams proposed responses which can be summarized as follows:

• After having discussed with Avri Doria and Becky Burr at a string of small team calls, the small team came up with 7 categories of suggested responses to the Board's concerns.
• Of the 7 categories, responses to the 38 pending recommendations were found to be fall within 4 - which essentially avoids taking any immediate route that:
  • (1) would involve a need to modify or amend any approved recommendations (because Section 16 of the GNSO PDP Manual requires that SubPro PDP WG (or, possibly some form of the same) be reconstituted (category "c"); or
  • (2) having Council generate any "Supplemental Recommendation" in the event the Board "determines that such policy is not in the best interests of the ICANN community or ICANN" (category "d"); or
  • (3) call for a GNSO Guidance Process (GGP), GNSO Input Process (GIP), or GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) (category "f").
• Instead, the 4 buckets selected and their corresponding SubPro Topics & recommendations are: 

To understand the specific nature  of the concerns and responses please read: proposed responses

This means that the GNSO SubPro Small Team still has work to complete for the purpose of the Council meeting with ICANN Board on 22 May at 1300-1500 UTC.
