    a. Recently Ratified by the ALAC / Currently going through Ratification Process

    b. Open Public Comments - Summary

    • String Similarity Review Guidelines CPWG

      • In preparation for the New gTLD Program: Next Round, ICANN org developed detailed guidelines for conducting the string similarity review, which is conducted by the String Similarity Review Panel. The expanded scope of the review will include variant strings.

    • Review of the Draft Applicant Support Program (ASP) Handbook – New gTLD Program CPWG
      • For each section of the Applicant Support Program (ASP) Handbook, we would like commenters to indicate whether the section in question accurately reflects the policy recommendations on Topic 17, Applicant Support, based on the recommendations of the Subsequent Procedures (SubPro) PDP Final Report and the guidance of the GNSO Guidance Process on Applicant Support.

    • Proposed Bylaws Updates to Limit Access to Accountability Mechanisms OFB-WG
      • ICANN org is seeking input on a proposed amendment to Section 4.1 of the ICANN Bylaws. The proposed Bylaws amendment sets out the process through which the ICANN community can limit access to ICANN’s Reconsideration Request and Independent Review Processes (collectively, “Accountability Mechanisms") in specific circumstances, and in a streamlined manner. The proposed amendment outlines thresholds for broad community consensus and procedural protections for use.

    • Review of the Draft Registry Service Provider (RSP) Handbook - New gTLD Program CPWG

      • ICANN org is requesting input regarding the Registry Service Provider (RSP) Evaluation Program, as described by the Draft RSP Handbook, specifically whether the handbook meets the intent of the policy recommendations of Topic 6: Registry Service Provider Pre-Evaluation of the SubPro PDP Final Report.

        • Does the CPWG wish to draft a statement for this public comment proceeding?

    • Proposed Renewal of the Registry Agreement for the .XXX top-level domain (TLD) CPWG

      • ICANN org is looking for input from the community on ICM’s proposal to renew the legacy .XXX Registry Agreement (RA) using the base gTLD Registry Agreement (Base RA), and to remove the .XXX sponsorship designation. This proposed .XXX renewal agreement would closely align with the existing, similar concept .ADULT, .PORN, and .SEX Registry Agreements that utilize the Base RA form, as generic, non-sponsored, non-community, top-level domains (TLDs).

        • Does the CPWG wish to draft a statement for this public comment proceeding?

    • Review of the Registry System Testing 2.0 Test Specifications and API CPWG
      • ICANN org is seeking feedback from the technical community on the proposed test specifications and API for Version 2.0 of the Registry System Testing (RST) service.
        • Does the CPWG wish to draft a statement for this public comment proceeding?

    1. Steinar Grøtterød

      Minutes from the GNSO-TPR meeting on Mar 26, 2024

      The working group discussed the updated proposed recommendations for the Change of Registrant Data (CORD) policy.

      All stekeholders must give their input to the proposed recommendations. Please review the Google doc here (linked).

      The goal is to group the recommendations into:

      • Proposels that you cannot live with (not accept)
      • Proposals that you can live with but prefer a change
      • Proposals with grammatical edit
      • Proposals that you support

      The deadline is set to Apr. 9, 2024.

      I will update the Google doc with my recommendations and present this at the CPWG meeting on Apr. 10, 2024.
