  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 BriefThe 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 DoThe Drafting Team is expected to develop a Charter on the 
basis of the GNSO Working Group Guidelines taking into account the 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 WorkICANN 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 
(SOI). The group will collaborate using a public workspace. The Drafting Team 
is expected to follow the GNSO Working Group Guidelines.
How to JoinThe 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 GNSO secretariat 
(gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxx).
BackgroundIn 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 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.
