While nearly all of the 300+ Outputs in the Final Report were approved by the GNSO Council, there are three exceptions that were NOT approved (i.e., Topic 23 in its entirety and recommendations 35.2 and 35.4 from Topic 35).
- The single Output under Topic 23: Closed Generics, the Working Group was unable to reach Consensus in recommending an alternate course of action.
- Closed Generics designation as “No Agreement” properly represents the outcome of the WG discussion. Unfortunately, the WG failed to develop a policy going forward for Closed Generics. There was no agreement within the WG on what the default for closed generic applications would be if we failed to recommend a policy. The 2012 AGB allowed for closed generics, but the 2012 implementation did not.
- The 2012 AGB allowed for closed generics. Following the application period, the GAC issued advice that stated closed generics only be allowed to proceed if they were in the public interest. Applicants changed their designations from “closed” to “open” in order to move their applications through the process rather than get tied up in debates over how to define or prove public interest.
The Board Public Comment period focused on all Outputs approved by the GNSO Council, rather than the Outputs that were not approved. Following the Public Comment proceeding and operational assessment, the ICANN Board is expected to take action on the approved policy recommendations.
This begs the question, how will the closed generics issue be resolved? Should a focused PDP tackle the issue? Is the ODP going to consider how to handle closed generics? Is the ICANN Board finding some middle ground?
