Motion to adopt the GNSO Guidance Process (GGP) for Applicant Support Guidance Recommendation Final Report

Submitted by:  Paul McGrady

Seconded by:  Lawrence Olawale-Roberts

Whereas,

  1. During its meeting on 25 August 2022, the GNSO Council approved the GNSO Guidance Process (GGP) Initiation Request to provide additional guidance to support the eventual implementation efforts relating to the Applicant Support Program, as recommended in the New generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) Subsequent Procedures (SubPro) Final Report.
  2. Per the GNSO Guidance Process Manual, the GGP “is not expected to create new “Consensus Policy” recommendations including, but not limited to, any new contractual obligations for contracted parties (in which case a Policy Development Process (PDP) would need to be initiated).
  3. The working group was subsequently formed and began its work in November 2022, following its work plan and timeline.
  4. The working group’s tasks included reviewing historical information about applicant support, identifying subject matter experts, developing data and measures of success, and suggesting a methodology for allocating financial support where there is inadequate funding for all qualified applicants.
  5. The working group completed its tasks and posted its Guidance Recommendation Initial Report for Public Comment on 31 July 2023.
  6. The working group deliberated as appropriate to properly evaluate and address comments received during the public comment period.
  7. On 11 December 2023, the working group transmitted its [Final Report-INSERT LINK] to the GNSO Council.


Resolved,

  1. The GNSO Council adopts the guidance recommendations as outlined in section 3, Working Group Final Guidance Recommendations.
  2. The GNSO Secretariat, on behalf of the Council, requests that ICANN org ensure that the Next Round implementation team considers these guidance recommendations.
  3. The GNSO Secretariat, on behalf of the Council, thanks the Chair, GNSO Council Liaison, and members of the GGP Applicant Support working group for their hard work and dedication in bringing this important project to completion.
