Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE – Adoption of the GNSO of GAC Communiqué Council response to the GAC Communique for submission to the ICANN Board (15 minutes)
The GNSO Council has adopted the practice of providing feedback to the ICANN Board on matters pertaining to gTLD policy, where the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) has included advice on such matters as part of a GAC Communique issued at each ICANN Public Meeting. Following the issuance of the GAC Abu Dhabi Communique (https://gac.icann.org/advice/communiques/public/gac-60-abu-dhabi-communique.pdf), a team of Councilors and the current GNSO Liaison to the GAC agreed to prepare an initial draft of possible GNSO Council input to the Board for Council consideration. This draft was circulated to the Council mailing list on 20 Nov November 2017 (https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/review-gac-communique-21nov17-en.pdf) and updated with edits on the 28 November 2017 (https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/review-gac-communique-28nov17-en.pdf).
Here the Council will discuss the draft Council feedback, and vote on whether or not to approve it for transmission to the ICANN Board.
