Helsinki Meeting Planning	10/3	27/6	Donna Austin, Volker Greimann	Glen de Saint Gery / Marika Konings		Donna & Volker to participate in a small group that is forming at the request of the Board to look at the schedule for meeting B Council members to identify a list of issues or topics that the GNSO would be interested in discussing at small or large cross-community sessions during the Helsinki meeting For latest draft schedule, see https://community.icann.org/x/_o5CAw.
SSAC Liaison to GNSO Council / GNSO Council liaison to the SSAC	BA wrap up session	12/5	James Bladel	Julie Hedlund		James to report back to to Patrik on options discussed on Council mailing list: Change the format of the GNSO/SSAC interactions, post topics in advance and promote a more free flowing discussion. Come prepared with questions, and encourage SSAC to tailor their materials & updates to active GNSO work. Leverage the overlap – encourage members who participate in both communities, and ICANN Staff, to highlight mutual areas of interest and flag for discussion by GNSO/SSAC. For example,some SSAC resources are public, which would allow one or two Councilors to volunteer as informal liaisons (e.g. keeping up with the lists & new publications, and reporting back to Council with any material topics). Create an “SSAC Consultation” step as part of the start up activities of new PDPs. Perhaps this could be merged with the existing SG/C comment/consultation steps? No strong consensus to establish a formal liaison at this time, but keep this path open if future circumstances warrant the position.
Issues for the SCI - voting thresholds	6/6		Avri Doria / Alan Greenberg	Marika Konings		COMPLETED - Following discussion on GNSO Council mailing list, it was agreed to not pursue this issue at this point in time.
Outstanding IGO/INGO PDP Recommendations	26/6	14/4	Thomas Rickert	Mary Wong	In June 2014, the NGPC wrote to the GNSO Council 'with an update on the ongoing work in response to the GNSO policy recommendations regarding Protection of IGO-INGO Identifiers in All gTLDs and the advice from the GAC in its Buenos Aires Communiqué addressing the same topic'. Furthermore the letter noted that 'the NGPC is considering available options to reconcile the differences at issue, including recommending that the ICANN Board reject the conflicting GNSO policy advice (pursuant to the procedure established in the Bylaws). However, before the NGPC recommends any course of action, the NGPC wanted to provide an update to the GNSO to highlight the concerns, and to give the GNSO an opportunity to consider modifying the elements of the approved policy recommendations in accordance with the procedure established in the GNSO Operating Procedures'.	Letter received from Cherine Chalaby (http://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/chalaby-to-robinson-15jan15-en.pdf) noting that the NGPC plans to talk further with the GAC and IGOs at ICANN 52 and would share any updates immediately following those meetings. At ICANN55, representatives of the Red Cross met with the GNSO Council leadership to discuss possible next steps. The Red Cross representatives briefed the Council during the meeting on 14 April on the scope of the Red Cross’ continuing request for permanent protections for those of its national society and international movement identifiers that are not currently covered by the policy recommendations that have been adopted by the GNSO Council and the ICANN Board. Following this briefing, a draft letter has been prepared to be sent to the ICANN Board on this topic.
