Joint Session: ICANN Board and GNSO Council - ICANN76

Agenda:

Question from the ICANN Board to the GNSO Council 

The final SupPro report assigns resolution of many, potentially complex issues to the Implementation Review Team (IRT).  IRTs can - and sometimes have - become bottlenecks, for example, in connection with efforts to relitigate policy outcomes or where there are gaps in the policy being implemented.  What concrete steps can the board, org, or community (or all 3 collectively) take to improve the IRT process?  Please be as concrete as possible.

Potential Questions from the GNSO Council to the ICANN Board 

Ensuring Board and ICANN org input to PDP processes

• How do we minimize the need for an ODP and minimize its impact when it is needed? 
• What further procedural steps, information or details should the GNSO integrate into the PDP and its Final Report to ensure it delivers Board-ready recommendations?

Getting to the next round of new gTLDs

• What in the Boards view would be required of the GNSO Council and Community to secure a Next Round Launch Date by the 2023 AGM?

WHOIS Disclosure System

• The Council’s recommendations were delivered 3 months ago which corresponds to ICANN Org’s ramp up requirement; has the development been initiated? What assistance can the Council and its small team offer to ensure initial timelines are met?
