Item 5: Whois Review Team Final Report (10 minutes)
At its July 20, 2012 meeting, the Council created a small group to draft a letter in response to ICANN Board resolved #2012.06.23.26 (see Board resolution (http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-23jun12-en.htm#5).
The August 31, 2012 deadline set by the Board for receiving input proved too short for the Council, and on August 30, 2012 GNSO Chair Stéphane Van Gelder sent Chairman of the ICANN Board Steve Crocker and Interim ICANN CEO Akram Attalah a letter informing them that the Council would hopefully be providing further input very soon.
A draft has been proposed by the group. The Council must now decide whether to send this draft as-is or not.

The GNSO Council requested that a small group prepare a request for information concerning Fake Renewal Notices for the Registrar Stakeholder Group to help inform its deliberations on the Registration Abuse Policies Working Group (RAP WG) Recommendation on Fake Renewal Notices (#2).
Once the drafting team submitted its report to the GNSO Council and the comment period was completed, the GNSO Council requested the Drafting Team to review the comments received, update the report if deemed appropriate and report back accordingly.
The DT has reviewed the comments received and submitted its updated report to the GNSO Council on 21 June 2012 (see http://gnso.icann.org/issues/frn/fake-renewal-notices-updated-report-20jun12-en.pdf) and the DT Chair presented this report to the Council at the July 20 meeting.
At that meeting, the Council opted to have further consultations with theRegistrar Stakeholder Group to find out what solutions the Registrars can offer to deal with bad actors and return to the Council with proposals for options, or solutions, or next steps on this issue.
This agenda item is an update on those consultations.

7.1 Update from Staff (Brian Peck)
...
The new gTLD program will have a significant impact on the functioning of ICANN and its structure. The Board has called for an in-depth community discussion to identify early the corresponding challenges and possible evolutions.
A call has been put out for the community to share a one-pager on this topic to gather preliminary views and help prepare a dedicated session in Toronto. The GNSO Council has expressed a desire to respond to this call and a small group has been created to draft a response.
Although the Board has called for a response by September 10, this is not a hard deadline so the Council will now consider whether to approve the proposed response.
