3.1 – Confirming of Council liaison appointments

At the Council’s Wrap Up Session at ICANN58 in Copenhagen in March 2017, it was noted that several Cross Community Working Groups, GNSO Working Groups and Implementation Review Teams no longer had Council liaisons, due either to a Councilor’s resignation or the ending of a Councilor’s term on the Council. In response to a Call for Volunteers, the following Councilors volunteered to serve as Council liaisons to the respective groups noted against their names:

• Thick WHOIS Implementation Review Team (IRT): Susan Kawaguchi
• Translation & Transliteration of gTLD Registration Data IRT: ____________
• GNSO Rights & Obligations under the Revised ICANN Bylaws Drafting Team: _____________
• Cross Community Working Group on Internet Governance: Julf Helsingius

Here the Council is expected to confirm the appointments of the above-named Councilors as Council liaisons to the respective groups.

Seconded: 

Whereas,

1. The Governmental Advisory Committee advises the ICANN Board on issues of public policy, and especially where there may be an interaction between ICANN's activities or policies and national laws or international agreements. It usually does so as part of a Communiqué, which is published towards the end of every ICANN meeting.
2. The GNSO is responsible for developing and recommending to the ICANN Board substantive policies relating to generic top-level domains.
3. The GNSO has expressed a desire to provide feedback to the ICANN Board on issues in the GAC Communiqué as these relate to generic top-level domains to inform the ICANN Board as well as the broader community of past, present or future gTLD policy activities that may directly or indirectly relate to advice provided by the GAC.
4. The GNSO hopes that the input provided through its review of the GAC Communiqué will further enhance the co-ordination and promote the sharing of information on gTLD related policy activities between the GAC, Board and the GNSO.    

Resolved, 

1. The GNSO Council adopts the GNSO Review of the Copenhagen GAC Communiqué (see )and requests that the GNSO Council Chair communicate the GNSO Review of the Copenhagen GAC Communiqué to the ICANN Board.
2. The GNSO Council requests that the GNSO Council Chair also informs the GAC Chair of the communication between the GNSO Council and the ICANN Board.
