Under its Charter, the CCWG-IG is to “do whatever it deems necessary to facilitate and ensure engagement and participation of the ICANN community in the global Internet governance scene and multi-stakeholder decision-making processes”, including providing input to ICANN staff, Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees on issues pertaining to Internet governance discussions and processes and informing the community about ICANN-related issues arising in Internet governance discussions and processes. As part of its Charter-mandated review of the work of the CCWG-IG, the GNSO Council in 2016 requested and received activity reports from the CCWG co-chairs. Here the Council will evaluate the appropriateness of continuing with the CCWG-IG in light of the deliverables prescribed under the Charter and in the context of the recently adopted Uniform Framework of Principles for Cross Community Working Groups.

This Consultation Group was established following various discussions between the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) and the GNSO Council on enhancing GAC participation in GNSO PDPs. The group was tasked to explore ways for the GAC to engage early in the GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) and to improve overall cooperation between the two bodies (for example, by exploring the option of a liaison). This need had been noted specifically by both Accountability and Transparency Review Teams. Various pilot projects and mechanisms have been implemented as a result of recommendations from the group, which is currently in the process of winding down its work. Here the Council will consider the Final Status Report from the Consultation Group, and vote on whether or not to approve the group’s recommendations.

Item 7: COUNCIL VOTE – Appointment of GNSO Liaison to the GAC (15 minutes)
As part of a two-year pilot program initiated in June 2014, the joint GAC-GNSO Consultation Group recommended the appointment of a GNSO Liaison to the GAC. Subsequently, following a review of the pilot program, the the Consultation Group recommended that the Liaison role be made a permanent one in March 2016. At its meeting in April 2016, the Council approved the creation of this permanent Liaison role as well as a process for the application, selection and confirmation of a Liaison (http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/request-liaison-gac-30mar16-en.pdf). At its June 2016 meeting, the Council agreed to extend the term of the current Liaison and an extended timetable for the selection of the new Liaison (https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201607). Following a review of the candidates who applied under the extended timeline, the GNSO Council chairs agreed to recommend [INSERT NAME] to succeed Mr. Mason Cole as the new GNSO Liaison to the GAC. Here the Council will vote on whether or not to approve [INSERT NAME]’s appointment as recommended by the GNSO Council chairs.

Item 86: COUNCIL VOTE – Chartering of a New Cross Community Working Group on New gTLD Auction Proceeds (20 minutes)
The 2012 New gTLD Program established auctions as a mechanism of last resort to resolve string contention. Although most string contention sets have been resolved through other means prior to reaching the stage of an auction conducted by ICANN's authorized auction service provider, it was recognized from the outset that significant funds could accrue as a result of several auctions. As such, any and all auction proceeds have been reserved and earmarked until the Board authorizes a plan for the appropriate use of the funds. The Board, staff, and community are expected to work together in designing the appropriate processes for addressing the use of the new gTLD auction proceeds. To this end, a cross-community Drafting Team (DT) was formed which has now submitted a proposed proposed Charter for for a cross-community working group to all SO/ACs for consideration.

At its meeting on 29 September 2016, the GNSO Councilr Council received a briefing and update on the draft Charter and the work of the DT from Jonathan Robinson, the DT chair. As there were no substantive suggested edits to the draft Charter received consequently from the GNSO, the Council will here consider whether or not to become one of the Chartering Organizations for the proposed new CCWG.

Item 9: 7. COUNCIL DISCUSSION – ICANN Board Letter regarding policy implications of the Final Report of the Internationalized Registration Data (IRD) Expert Working Group (15 minutes)
On 11 May 2016, ICANN Board Chair Dr. Steve Crocker sent a letter to the GNSO Council following up on the Board’s 10 March 2016 Resolution (see see https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/crocker-to-bladel-11may16-en.pdf). The Board’s request was for the GNSO Council to “review the broader policy implications of the the IRD Final Report as as they relate to other GNSO policy development work on WHOIS issues, and, at a minimum, forward the IRD Final Report as an input to the GNSO PDP on the Next Generation Registration Directory Services to Replace WHOIS that is currently underway.”
The GNSO Council sought input from the co-chairs of the recently completed GNSO Policy Development Process on the Translation and Transliteration of gTLD Contact Data, requesting feedback on several specific points: (1) how certain recommendations in the IRD Final Report were considered, if at all, in the the Final Report of of the T&T PDP Working Group; (2) how those recommendations could potentially conflict with the T&T PDP Working Group’s recommendations that have been adopted by the GNSO Council and the ICANN Board; and (3) What steps are recommended to the GNSO Council in considering the policy implications of the IRD Final Report. Here the Council will discuss the input received from a member of the T&T PDP Working Group (https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/ird-tt-recs-10oct16-en.pdf) [CHECK THAT LINK IS CORRECT]mailing-lists/archives/council/docxZ229qQH0Gm.docx), and decide on next steps.

Item 10: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – 8. Discussion - Results of GNSO Newcomer Survey (5 minutes)
On 30 June 2016, the GNSO Council Council directed ICANN ICANN staff to develop a survey to “assess the familiarity that the community has with the different newcomer and training tools as well as their perceived usefulness”, as part of the permanent integration of successful Policy Development Process (PDP) pilot project improvements into the overall structure of PDPs. Here the Council will receive a report on the results of the survey (https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/newcomer-tools-survey-04oct16-en.pdf) and consider whether staff should proceed with implementing some of the suggested improvements following additional input (if any) from GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies.
