5. Policy Statement Updates - Avri Doria, Andrew Chen and drafting team member(s) and all (10 minutes)a. Recently Ratified by the ALAC / Currently going through Ratification Process- Correspondence regarding At-Large Input on Applicant Support Program Use of Auction Proceeds
- ALAC Advice regarding Standing for Objections in the Next Round Program
b. Open Public Comments - Summary - Han Script Single Character IDN Generic Top-Level Domains
- In preparation for the New gTLD Program: Next Round, ICANN org worked with the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Script Generation Panels (CJK GPs) to seek their guidance on string similarity concerns for single character IDN gTLD applications in the Han script. The CJK GPs agreed that the work already done in the Root Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ-LGRs) sufficiently addresses the technical and linguistic concerns around string similarity for single character IDN TLDs. Feedback is requested on the Proposed Considerations for the Application of Single Character IDN Generic Top-Level Domains based on the analysis and conclusions shared by the CJK GPs.
- The CPWG has decided not to provide a public comment statement for this proceeding.
- Proposed Language for the Next Round Applicant Support Program and Registry Service Provider Evaluation Program Terms and Conditions
In this Public Comment proceeding, ICANN org is looking for input from the community on whether the proposed language for the Terms and Conditions for the New gTLD Program: Next Round Applicant Support Program and Registry Service Provider Evaluation Program is consistent with recommendations 18.4 and 18.6 as well as recommendations from Topics 6 and 17 from the Final Report on the new gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process. - Does the CPWG and at-large community wish to comment on this proceeding?
- IRP-IOT – Proposed updates to the IRP Supplementary Procedures
- The Independent Review Process (IRP) provides for third-party review of Board or Staff actions (or inactions) alleged to be inconsistent with ICANN's Articles or Bylaws. The IRP Implementation Oversight Team (IRP-IOT) seeks input on its proposed updates to IRP Supplementary Procedures.
- 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.
- Preliminary Issue Report on a Policy Development Process for Latin Script Diacritics
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. - Does the CPWG and at-large community wish to comment on this proceeding?
- Draft ICANN Strategic Plan and Operating Plan Framework for FY26-30
- As the ICANN Board finalizes the draft Strategic Plan for FY26–30, your insights are crucial to ensuring its success and alignment with community needs. The Board and org need your feedback on the clarity and relevance of our vision, the appropriateness of the strategic objectives, and the detailed goals and strategies designed to achieve them. Additionally, we seek your input on the proposed progress indicators and identified strategic risks. Furthermore, your input on the key activities identified in the five-year Operating Plan Framework to achieve each draft strategy is also appreciated. Your comments will help the Board and org to refine and enhance the plan to better serve our community through our strategic objectives.
- 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).
