At-Large Workspace: Data Processing Specification for ICANN-Accredited Registries and Registrars ICANN org seeks community input on draft Data Processing Specifications (DPS) applicable to the Registrar Accreditation Agreement and Registry Agreement. Pursuant to the Phase 1 Recommendations 19 and 20 of the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data, ICANN org and a team convened by the Contracted Party House negotiated the terms of the DPS for which we now seek public comment. ICANN org is preparing to implement the DPS so contracted parties can begin utilizing it during the Registration Data Policy transition period (21 August 2024 - 20 August 2025).  Does the CPWG and At-Large community wish to comment on this proceeding?	09 Sep 2024

At-Large Workspace: gTLD IDN Tables Review Process When Reference LGR is not available Currently there are 26 script-based Ref. LGRs published and ICANN org is able to review IDN Tables in hundreds of languages written in these scripts. However, there are 161 scripts encoded in Unicode standard and many scripts do not have Ref. LGRs available. Feedback is requested on the Proposed Process to Review gTLD IDN Tables Without Reference Label Generation Rules. The CPWG and At-Large community has agreed to review this public comment proceeding.

Pari Esfandiari Bukola Oronti Claire Craig Gregory Shatan	At-Large Workspace: Proposed Fundamental Bylaws Amendments Related to Grant Program The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is seeking input on a proposed amendment to Article 4, Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the ICANN Bylaws. The proposed Bylaws amendment is designed to specifically exclude the use of the ICANN’s Reconsideration and Independent Review Processes (collectively, “Accountability Mechanisms”) to challenge decisions on individual applications in the ICANN Grant Program. This proposal replaces the earlier proposed amendments to Article 4, Section 4.1 to set out a general process for how the ICANN community can limit access to ICANN’s Accountability Mechanisms. To be reviewed by the OFB-WG.	16 Sep 2024	Voting	Status colour Green title ofb-wg	Judith HellersteinPari Esfandiari Bukola Oronti Claire Craig Gregory Shatan

At-Large Workspace: Transfer Policy Review Working Group Initial Report - (10 minutes) - Steinar Grøtterød Initial Draft Statement Should the proposed text for Rec.#33 be altered OR can we accept the text as proposed? My preference is a more "stronger" wording making it possible for a Registrant to initiate a transfer dispute in the revised transfer policy. Revised Recommendation #33 Text The Initial Report on the Transfer Policy Review Policy Development Process (PDP) documents the Working Group’s efforts and preliminary recommendations for how to evolve and improve ICANN’s Transfer Policy. The PDP Working Group requests your input on this Initial Report, which covers a wide range of generic top-level domain (gTLD) transfer-related topics and proposes a variety of changes to the current Transfer Policy. The CPWG has agreed to draft a statement for this public comment proceeding.

c. Upcoming Public Comment Proceedings

c. Upcoming Public Comment Proceedings

This Public Comment proceeding is the second in a series of proceedings that will seek input from the ICANN community on proposed language for selected sections of the Applicant Guidebook for the New gTLD Program: Next Round.

Over the course of multiple Specific Reviews, challenges emerged with the process that impacted their effectiveness. To address these challenges, ICANN org developed process improvements that it socialized with the community. Based on community input, org revised the Operating Standards for Specific Reviews. This proceeding seeks community input on the Revised Operating Standards, in time for the next Accountability and Transparency Review.
