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 8: COUNCIL VOTE – Motion to Adopt the Proposal from the Cross Community Working Group regarding the transition of IANA stewardship on naming related functions (20 mins)
The GNSO is one of the chartering organizations for the Cross Community Working Group that was tasked to develop a proposal on Naming Related Functions for the IANA Stewardship Transition (CWG-Stewardship). A draft proposal was published for community comment on 1 December 2014, with a revised timeline and update provided for discussion at ICANN52 in Singapore. The CWG-Stewardship’s updated proposal was subsequently published for public comment (ending on 20 May), following which its Final Report was submitted on 11 June 2015 to all its chartering SO/ACs for discussion during ICANN53. The aim is that an approved final proposal will then be submitted to the IANA Stewardship Coordination Group (ICG) for consolidation with the other proposals from the Numbering Resources and Protocol Parameters communities, for submission to the NTIA.

Item 9: DISCUSSION FOR POTENTIAL ACTION - Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability – CCWG Accountability (20 mins)
In discussions around the IANA stewardship transition, the broader topic of the impact on ICANN's accountability was raised, given ICANN’s historical contractual relationship with the United States government. The community concerns indicated that existing ICANN accountability mechanisms do not yet meet some stakeholders’ expectations. Considering that the US Government (through the NTIA) has stressed that it expects community consensus on the transition, this gap between the current situation and stakeholder expectations needed to be addressed. This has been done through the chartering of a Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability – CCWG-Accountability, of which the GNSO is a chartering organization.

Here the Council will hear from affected community members and discuss what, if any, action the Council can take to follow up on those concerns.

Item 11: COUNCIL ACTION – GNSO Drafting 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.
