Consumer Trust, Consumer Choice & Competition Briefing

What is it about: The Consumer Metrics Working Group will brief the GNSO Council about the WG’s deliverable status and the upcoming GNSO interaction with the GAC in Prague.  The WG has reviewed 75% of the public comments and working towards completing the final Advice Letter in July 2012.

Background information: The GNSO Consumer Metrics Working Group is tasked with establishing the definition, measures, and three year targets for those measures, for consumer trust, consumer choice, and competition in the context of the domain name system and as utilized in the Affirmation of Commitments.  The output from the GNSO WG will take the form of an Advice Letter to the ICANN Board for their consideration as well as future review teams as required by the AoC.  Further, the ICANN Board requested the remaining Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees to provide advice on Consumer Metrics as well.  The SOs and ACs may use the GNSO drafted Advice Letter in consideration of their Consumer Metrics advice and may endorse all, part, or none of the GNSO advice as it decides how to respond to the Board resolution.

GNSO Outreach - further development and next steps

What is it about:    The Council has considered motions on this recently; no agreement has been found. As the original request to work on a set of recommendations on a global GNSO outreach program came from the ICANN Board, the Council leadership feels an answer should be provided.

Background information:    As part of the GNSO improvements, the Operations Steering Committee (OSC) sent to Council recommendations for a Global Outreach Program and Outreach Task Force (OTF). The OTF Drafting Team presented a draft charter to the GNSO council for approval. This motion as well as an alternative one have been defeated.

This debate touches the question whether the responsibility of setting guidelines for outreach lies in the scope of the OTF rather than it should be in scope of the Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies.

It will also be driven by the ICANN staff initiative for an Outreach Dialogue in Prague.
