BGC Recommendation on Reconsideration Request 13-3
1. The Chair, on behalf of the GNSO Council, writes to the Board Governance Committee (copying the New gTLD Programme Committee).
2. The Chair, on behalf of the GNSO Council, writes to the ATRT2.
3. The Chair, on behalf of the GNSO Council, writes to the ICANN Board.
1. The Board Governance Committee – Drafted by [Jeff].
a. To highlight and describe the key concerns with output of the committee i.e. with the rationalisation for the reconsideration decision.
b. To make it clear that the desired outcome is to remove the current rationalisation from the record (and not to overturn the outcome of the reconsideration).
c. To recognise that the Council’s intervention in these processes is for very specific reasons and because of the perceived potential impact on the GNSO and indeed the MS Model.
2. The ATRT2 – Drafted by [Volunteer].
a. To highlight concerns with the reconsideration process as a mechanism for ensuring accountability and transparency.
b. To not propose a specific remedy but rather to leave that to the ATRT.
3. The ICANN Board – Drafted by [Jonathan].
a. To summarise and refer to both 1 & 2 above
b. To highlight on-going concerns about the issue of accountability for actions (implementation or policy) which are not in agreement with GNSO policy or policy advice.
c. To propose solutions such as:
i. Agreement to effectively communicate with the GNSO in the event that a decision goes against such policy or policy advice
(something we have already agreed to on the back of our Beijing / recent discussions)
ii. Possible change/s to the ICANN bylaws

Christine Willett participated in Council meeting on 10/10. Following that it was agreed that the GNSO Council, in conjunction with Staff, would initiate some work within the GNSO, subject to seeking legal advice from ICANN legal Counsel that this would be potentially usable in the implementation and consistency of the decisions on string similarity. Feedback from ICANN legal is expected in time for consideration at the next meeting.
