Alan and Avri volunteered to scope out the issue of voting thresholds in relation to implementation changes to adopted PDP recommendations for Council review. The Council will consider at a future meeting whether or not to refer this item to the SCI for further review.
The timing of GAC Advice and how that fits into the policy making cycle as current cycle is problematic as GAC advice is developed in parallel to policy making efforts going on as well as during discussions at ICANN meetings. GAC Advice is often a mixture of policy and implementation, which should be reviewed and parsed by the GNSO since otherwise, it draws the Board into implementation. Typically, the GNSO never responds to the GAC Advice. A possible approach is for the community (led by the Council) to separate GAC Advice into issues of policy and implementation and then to come up with a GNSO response. Consideration of this approach could be a topic for discussion at the first GNSO Council meeting after an ICANN meeting. Policy advice could be further broken down into “in scope” and “out of scope” topics for ICANN policy and thereafter, what, if anything, the GNSO plans to undertake to address policy topics identified. This approach will permit the Board to then go back to the GAC to indicate what policy issues are being worked on. Dealing with the communiqué is a suggested topic for discussion in the joint GAC-GNSO meeting during ICANN 52. The Council had an initial exchange of views on this topic during its meeting on 13/11.
