COMPLETED

Letter received from Cherine Chalaby (http://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/chalaby-to-robinson-15jan15-en.pdf) noting that the NGPC plans to talk further with the GAC and IGOs at ICANN 52 and would share any updates immediately following those meetings.

At ICANN55, representatives of the Red Cross met with the GNSO Council leadership to discuss possible next steps. The Red Cross representatives briefed the Council during the meeting on 14 April on the scope of the Red Cross’ continuing request for permanent protections for those of its national society and international movement identifiers that are not currently covered by the policy recommendations that have been adopted by the GNSO Council and the ICANN Board. Following this briefing, a draft letter has been prepared to be sent to the ICANN Board on this topic.

This topic was further discussed during the GNSO meeting with individual board members in Helsinki. Specific action items coming out of that meeting:

• Board – develop decision tree regarding IGO/INGO, which includes consideration of curative rights
• Staff – send IGO/INGO/RCRC comparison chart to Board

On 22 August, a note was received from Chris Disspain on this topic (see https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/disspain-to-gnso-council-22aug16-en.pdf)
