Proposed amendments (in bold)
Motion to delay the ‘thick’ Whois Policy Development Process
Whereas the GNSO Council requested an Issue Report on ‘thick’ Whois at its meeting on 22 September 2011 (see http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#201109);
Whereas a Preliminary Issue Report on ‘thick’ Whois was prepared by staff and posted on 21 November 2011 for public comment (see http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-21nov11-en.htm);
Whereas a Final Issue Report on ‘thick’ Whois was published on 2 February 2012 (see http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/final-report-thick-whois-02feb12-en.pdf);
Whereas the Final Issue Report recommends that the GNSO Council proceed with a Policy Development Process limited to consideration of the issues discussed in this report, and the General Counsel of ICANN has indicated the topic is properly within the scope of the ICANN policy process and within the scope of the GNSO;
Whereas the GNSO Council initiated a Policy Development Process at its meeting of 14 March 2012 (see http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#20120314-1);
Whereas at its wrap up session on 15 March, taking into account the current workload of the GNSO community, the GNSO Council voiced support for a delay in the start of the PDP until ICANN staff and GNSO resources are available to deal with this. .
THEREFORE BE IT:
Resolved, the next step (creating a drafting team to develop a charter) of the ‘thick’ Whois PDP will be delayed until ICANN staff and GNSO resources are available to deal with this.

3. Motion to request an Issues Report on the protection of names and acronyms of IGOs
Made by: Mary Wong
Seconded by:
"Whereas the GNSO Council passed a resolution approving new protections for the first round of the new gTLD program as recommended by the GNSO's International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Red Cross/Red Crescent (RC) Drafting Team;
Whereas this resolution indicated that further discussions were required on associated policies relating to protections for certain international organizations at the second level;
Whereas comments have been received coincident with the motion that included requests from international governmental organizations requesting the same protective rights as those for the IOC/RCRC for the current and future rounds of the new gTLD program,
And whereas the development of criteria for the grant of protective rights for such organizations based on standards such as "international legal Ppersonality" was proposed at the ICANN meeting in San José, Costa Rica,
Now therefore be it resolved,
The GNSO Council requests an issue report to precede the possibility of a PDP that covers the following issues:
- Definition of the type of organizations that should receive special protection at the top and second level, including under a "international legal personality" test;
- Policies required to protect such organizations at the top and second level; and
- Whether such policies are within the bylaws and the defined powers of the GNSO."
