Motion to Adopt the Standing Predictability Implementation Review Team (SPIRT) Charter

Submitted by: Anne Aikman-Scalese

Seconded by:

Whereas,

  1. On 22 January 2024, the GNSO Council Leadership called for volunteers to serve on the Standing Predictability Implementation Review Team (SPIRT) Charter Drafting Team (hereafter “Drafting Team”).
  2. The Drafting Team’s mission was to develop a draft charter for the SPIRT on how it should operate and utilize the Predictability Framework when issues arise during the course of the New gTLD Program, following the Annex E guidelines as provided in the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures (SubPro) Final Report.
  3. The Predictability Framework is an output of the implementation effort developed by ICANN org, in coordination with the SubPro Implementation Review Team (IRT); the Predictability Framework and the SPIRT Charter should be mutually coherent.
  4. From 26 February through 22 July 2024, the Drafting Team, consisting of individuals and representatives from the ICANN community, held eleven (11) meetings to deliberate the contents of the charter, including but not limited to the SPIRT’s scope, formation, decision-making and operational procedures.
  5. On 12 June 2024, the GNSO Council received an update on the draft charter, focusing on the sections that differed from the implementation guidance in Annex E of the New gTLD SubPro Final Report, including specific language.
  6. On 29 July 2024, the Drafting Team completed its work and submitted a final version of the SPIRT charter to the full GNSO Council.
  7. The GNSO Council acknowledges that the Drafting Team may need to reconvene and be tasked with amendments to the charter after its adoption, as the Predictability Framework is scheduled for another round of Public Comment in May 2025.

Resolved,

  1. The GNSO Council adopts the charter for the SPIRT, acknowledging the possibility of future amendments as a result of material changes to the Predictability Framework which could occur after the final public comment on the draft Applicant Guidebook (AGB) for the next round of new gTLDs.
  2. The GNSO Council requests the GNSO Support Staff to communicate the result of the motion to the Drafting Team as well as the SubPro IRT.
  3. The GNSO Council thanks the Drafting Team members, Chair and Vice-Chair for their contribution and looks forward to the SPIRT’s role in the Next Round New gTLD Program.
