Renewed Call for Volunteers: Drafting Team to Develop Charter for a GNSO
Working Group on GNSO Metrics & Reporting


 

http://gnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-06sep13-en.htm 
Date: 6 September 2013 


In Brief


The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council seeks volunteers to
serve on a Drafting Team (DT) that will develop a charter for a new Working
Group (WG). The GNSO Metrics & Reporting WG will be tasked with exploring
opportunities with respect to reporting and metrics recommendations that
could better inform policy development via fact-based decision making, where
applicable. The Drafting Team is expected to submit the proposed Charter to
the GNSO Council for approval.


What This Team Will Do


The Drafting Team is expected to develop a Charter on the basis of the
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-08apr11-en.pdf>
GNSO Working Group Guidelines taking into account the
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/uofr-final-31mar13-en.pdf> Final Issue
Report on Uniformity of Reporting, which recommended that such a Working
Group should review how the community can collaborate with contracted
parties and other service providers in the sharing of complaint and abuse
data that may also further educate Registrants and Internet users in
submission of complaints to the appropriate party. Such a Working Group
could also investigate more formal processes for requests of data, metrics
and other reporting needs from the GNSO that may aid in GNSO policy
development efforts.


How This Team Will Work


ICANN Working Groups use transparent, open processes. The meetings of this
DT will be recorded, and the recordings will be available to the public. The
mailing list for the Drafting Team will be archived publicly. Drafting Team
members are expected to submit Statements of Interest (
<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/New+SOIs> SOI). The group will
collaborate using a public workspace. The Drafting Team is expected to
follow the
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-08apr11-en.pdf>
GNSO Working Group Guidelines.


How to Join


The GNSO Council invites interested parties to provide names of expected
participants who can then be added to the DT mailing list. The DT will be
open to anyone interested to join. Community members who wish to be invited
to join the group should contact the

Background


In 2010, the Registration Abuse Policies Working Group (RAPWG) identified in
its Final Report the 'need for more uniformity in the mechanisms to
initiate, track, and analyze policy-violation reports'. The RAPWG as a
result recommended in its Final Report that 'the GNSO and the larger ICANN
community in general, create and support uniform reporting processes'. The
GNSO in collaboration with the community and ICANN Contractual Compliance
deliberated the issues through due diligence analysis, a review of current
state compliance reporting systems, and future state implementation plans
within ICANN. Based on the information gathered, the GNSO Council
recommended the creation of an
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/uofr-final-31mar13-en.pdf> Issue Report to
further research metrics and reporting needs in hopes to better aid the
policy development process. The report created by ICANN Staff further
outlined accomplishments regarding reporting and metrics for the Contractual
Compliance function and it also reviewed other reporting sources that may be
of relevance.

On 9 May 2013, the GNSO Council approved the report's recommendations to
await any further action regarding Contractual Compliance metrics and
reporting until the conclusion of their three-year plan towards the end of
2013. At such time the GNSO Council will consider other actions, if any. In
the meantime, the GNSO Council also adopted the recommendation to form a
non-PDP Working Group tasked with exploring opportunities of reporting and
metrics recommendations that could better inform policy development via
fact-based decision making, where applicable. An availability review of both
ICANN internal and external data sources is expected to be performed to help
inform the deliberations of the WG.
