4. Policy Statement Updates - Olivier Crépin-Leblond, Andrew Chen and drafting team member(s) and all (10 minutes)

a. Recently Ratified by the ALAC / Currently going through Ratification Process

  • String Similarity Review Guidelines CPWG
    • In preparation for the New gTLD Program: Next Round, ICANN org developed detailed guidelines for conducting the string similarity review, which is conducted by the String Similarity Review Panel. The expanded scope of the review will include variant strings.

b. Open Public Comments - Summary

  • Proposed Bylaws Updates to Limit Access to Accountability Mechanisms OFB-WG
    • ICANN org is seeking input on a proposed amendment to Section 4.1 of the ICANN Bylaws. The proposed Bylaws amendment sets out the process through which the ICANN community can limit access to ICANN’s Reconsideration Request and Independent Review Processes (collectively, “Accountability Mechanisms") in specific circumstances, and in a streamlined manner. The proposed amendment outlines thresholds for broad community consensus and procedural protections for use.

  • Review of the Draft Registry Service Provider (RSP) Handbook - New gTLD Program CPWG
    • ICANN org is requesting input regarding the Registry Service Provider (RSP) Evaluation Program, as described by the Draft RSP Handbook, specifically whether the handbook meets the intent of the policy recommendations of Topic 6: Registry Service Provider Pre-Evaluation of the SubPro PDP Final Report.

      • The CPWG has decided not to draft a comment for this public comment statement. 

  • Proposed Renewal of the Registry Agreement for the .XXX top-level domain (TLD) CPWG
    • ICANN org is looking for input from the community on ICM’s proposal to renew the legacy .XXX Registry Agreement (RA) using the base gTLD Registry Agreement (Base RA), and to remove the .XXX sponsorship designation. This proposed .XXX renewal agreement would closely align with the existing, similar concept .ADULT, .PORN, and .SEX Registry Agreements that utilize the Base RA form, as generic, non-sponsored, non-community, top-level domains (TLDs).

      • The CPWG has agreed to draft a statement for this public comment statement. 

  • Review of the Registry System Testing 2.0 Test Specifications and API CPWG
    • ICANN org is seeking feedback from the technical community on the proposed test specifications and API for Version 2.0 of the Registry System Testing (RST) service.
