    At-Large Workspace: Registries Stakeholder Group Charter Amendments

    • The Registries Stakeholder Group (RySG) of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) recently amended its charter and notified the ICANN organization of its request for approval by the ICANN Board. This Public Comment proceeding seeks input on proposed amendments of the RySG charter to inform ICANN Board consideration. The RySG amended its charter to reflect its current practices, align with its operating procedures, and accommodate its evolving needs. It also accounts for best practices for the GNSO such as the GNSO Operating Procedures and the ICANN Bylaws.

      • The OFB-WG has decided not to provide a public comment statement for this proceeding.

    At-Large Workspace: Preliminary Issue Report on Latin Script Diacritics (10 Minutes - Bill Jouris and Patrick Kiiza)

    • Initial Draft Statement

    • This Preliminary Issue Report on Latin Script Diacritics examines a single issue: the circumstance where a base ASCII generic top-level domain (gTLD) and the Latin script diacritic version of the gTLD are not variants of each other, and where currently no mechanism exists that allows a single registry operator to simultaneously operate both gTLDs. The report provides additional background about this issue, including factors that might be appropriate for considering the scope of the issue or that might aid in a policy development process (PDP), and an assessment as to whether this issue is within scope of the ICANN policy process and the GNSO. The report also includes a draft PDP charter. Your input will be reviewed in preparing the final Issue Report that the GNSO Council will consider in determining next steps.

      • The CPWG has agreed to draft a statement for this public comment proceeding.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.
    • 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.
