Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE - Motion to extend term of GNSO Liaison to the Governmental Advisory Committee
In September 2015 the GNSO Council passed a resolution to appoint Mason Cole as the GNSO Liaison to the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) as part of a one-year pilot project. The position was created as part of the recommendations of the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group to facilitate early engagement of the GAC in GNSO policy development processes. As the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group has determined that more time is needed to fully evaulate this pilot project, an extension was requested and granted for FY16. The GNSO Council will vote on having Mason Cole continue in the role of GNSO liaison to the GAC for FY16.

The GNSO Council created a New gTLDs Subsequent Rounds Discussion Group in June 2014 to discuss experiences gained during the current expansion round of new gTLDs, and identify possible subjects for future policy work that might result in changes to application procedures. The Discussion Group co-chairs notified the Council at the Council’s May meeting that the Group has completed its Issues/Recommendations Matrix and would be recommending that the Council request an Issue Report – a mandatory step preceding a possible Policy Development Process (PDP) – to further scope out the topics that have been identified by the Discussion Group as potential issues for a PDP.

Item 1011: COUNCIL ACTION – GNSO Drafting Team on New ICANN Meeting Strategy (10 mins)
Following initial Council discussions on planning GNSO-related meetings at ICANN Public Meetings after implementation of the new ICANN meeting strategy, a Drafting Team comprising several Council members was created to develop an initial proposal for GNSO community discussion. The proposal has since been circulated to other SO/ACs for their consideration and feedback, in the hope that it would assist these groups with planning, especially in relation to their interactions with the GNSO and for Meeting “B”. Here the Council will consider any feedback received from the community, and decide on next steps with implementing the GNSO planning proposal.
