Outstanding IGO/INGO PDP Recommendations ONGOING | (E) ____________ (T) | This topic continues to be discussed with the Board and the GAC. A final Proposal from the IGO Small Group was submitted to the GAC and the GNSO on 4 October 2016, which was referenced in the GAC Communique from Hyderabad.
| ____________________ | In June 2014, the NGPC wrote to the GNSO Council noting that the NGPC was considering available options to reconcile the differences at issue, and giving the GNSO an opportunity to consider modifying those aspects of its approved policy recommendations that are inconsistent with GAC advice in accordance with the process in the GNSO's PDP Manual. Several letters were exchanged between the NGPC and the Council up to January 2015. In late 2014, a small group of IGO, Board and GAC representatives was formed to work on the initial NGPC proposal (from March 2014), to develop a concrete proposal for consideration by the GAC and the GNSO. The final Small Group Proposal was sent to the GAC and the GNSO in early October 2016. The GAC advice in its Hyderabad Communique requested that this Proposal form the starting point of further discussions. The GAC and GNSO are expected to commence the proposed facilitated discussions, with Bruce Tonkin as the designated facilitator, at the latest in Copenhagen at ICANN58 in March 2017. | |
