- Susan Kawaguchi to supplement with the Business Constituencies position

The NomCom would appreciate receiving a skill set summarizing the GNSO Council's expectations for the 2 positions on the Council the 2015 NomCom is recruiting for. Ideally, the NomCom would need to receive feedback by 19 November in order to include it in the materials that will be used to announce the next round.
COMPLETED
Input submitted to Stephane van Gelder, Chair of the NomCom
The timing of GAC Advice and how that fits into the policy making cycle as current cycle is problematic as GAC advice is developed in parallel to policy making efforts going on as well as during discussions at ICANN meetings. GAC Advice is often a mixture of policy and implementation, which should be reviewed and parsed by the GNSO since otherwise, it draws the Board into implementation. Typically, the GNSO never responds to the GAC Advice. A possible approach is for the community (led by the Council) to separate GAC Advice into issues of policy and implementation and then to come up with a GNSO response. Consideration of this approach could be a topic for discussion at the first GNSO Council meeting after an ICANN meeting. Policy advice could be further broken down into “in scope” and “out of scope” topics for ICANN policy and thereafter, what, if anything, the GNSO plans to undertake to address policy topics identified. This approach will permit the Board to then go back to the GAC to indicate what policy issues are being worked on. Dealing with the communiqué is a suggested topic for discussion in the joint GAC-GNSO meeting during ICANN 52. The Council had an initial exchange of views on this topic during its meeting on 13/11.
- Jonathan Robinson to meet with Thomas Schneider the GAC chair and/or one or more of the GAC vice-chairs face to face in Singapore to socialize the draft proposal for a framework for discussing the GAC communiqué.
- Volker Greimann to review the Registry Stakeholder Group correspondence to the GAC, and a letter from Thomas Schneider to the ICANN Board on the 9th of November 2014, in moving forward with the proposed framework for discussion on the GAC communiqué.
- David Cake to take the lead on work to be done on the GAC communiqué in the interim in preparation for Singapore.
- Councillors are encouraged to provide comments and input on the Framework for Discussion (see http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/gac-communique-framework-11dec14-en.pdf).
Share with the Council the staff document that tabulates the areas the Board believes may be appropriate for discussion in an evaluation of the current gTLD application (COMPLETED).
Council members to provide input on the document.
COMPLETED
Inform the CWG on Use of Country & Territory Names as TLDs that the Council expresseed no objection to the submission of the letter to the GAC sub-working group.
