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. This topic was further discussed during the GNSO meeting with individual board members in Helsinki. Specific action items coming out of that meeting: Board – develop decision tree regarding IGO/INGO, which includes consideration of curative rights Staff – send IGO/INGO/RCRC comparison chart to Board On 22 August, a note was received from Chris Disspain on this topic (see https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/disspain-to-gnso-council-22aug16-en.pdf) Council to finalize response to Board letter on IGO/Red Cross protections (note: this may be covered by the Council’s response to the GAC Communique)
