*Motion on the Initiation of a Policy Development Process (PDP) on
‘thick’ Whois*****

Whereas the GNSO Council requested an Issue Report on ‘thick’ Whois at
its meeting on 22 September 2011 (see
http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#201109);****

Whereas a Preliminary Issue Report on ‘thick’ Whois was posted on 21
November 2011 for public comment (see
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-21nov11-en.htm);****

Whereas a Final Issue Report on ‘thick’ Whois was published on 2
February 2012 (see
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/final-report-thick-whois-02feb12-en.pdf);****

Whereas, the Final Issue Report recommends that the GNSO Council
proceed with a Policy Development Process limited to consideration of
the issues discussed in this report, and the General Counsel of ICANN
has indicated the topic is properly within the scope of the ICANN
policy process and within the scope of the GNSO.****

Whereas nothing in this motion is intended to prejudice migration to
thick Whois through contractual means.****

THEREFORE BE IT:****

Resolved, the GNSO will initiate a PDP on the issues defined in the
Final Issue Report on ‘thick’ Whois; (see
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/final-report-thick-whois-02feb12-en.pdf)****

Resolved, a DT will be formed to create a charter for a Working Group,
which will be submitted to the GNSO Council for its approval.****

Resolved, following the approval of the charter, a Working Group will
be created for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the
PDP.****

*Approval of a Charter for the Locking of a Domain Name Subject to
UDRP Proceedings PDP Working Group*****

Motion made by: Joy Liddicoat****

Motion seconded by:  Carlos Dionisio Aguirre****

Whereas on 15 December 2011 the GNSO Council initiated a Policy
Development Process (PDP) on the Locking of a Domain Name Subject to
UDRP Proceedings and decided to create a PDP Working Group for the
purposes of fulfilling the requirements of the PDP (see
http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#201112);****

Whereas, following a call for volunteers, a drafting team was formed
and its members have developed a charter for consideration by the GNSO
Council;****

Whereas the GNSO Council has reviewed the charter submitted by the
drafting team.****

RESOLVED,****

The GSNO Council approves the charter and appoints Joy Liddicoat as
the GNSO Council Liaison to the Locking of a Domain Name Subject to
UDRP Proceedings PDP Working Group.****

The GNSO Council further directs that the work of the Locking of a
Domain Name Subject to UDRP Proceedings PDP Working Group be initiated
no later then 14 days after the approval of this motion. Until such
time as the WG can select a chair and that chair can be confirmed by
the GNSO Council, the GNSO Council Liaison shall act as interim
chair.****

*Motion to approve Cross Community Working Group Principles*****

deferred from the Council meeting on 19 January 2012****

Made by: Jonathan Robinson****

Seconded by: Jeff Neuman ****

Whereas, the GNSO from time to time has participated in
cross-community working groups to address issues of common interest to
other ICANN supporting organizations (SO) and advisory committees
(AC);****

Whereas, the GNSO Council desires to develop a GNSO agreed perspective
with regard to the role, function and method of conducting joint
activities for future projects that respects and preserves the
recognized roles and responsibilities assigned to each SO/AC under the
ICANN Bylaws; ****

Whereas, on 06 October 2011 the GNSO Council approved a charter and
the formation of a Drafting Team to define a way forward for the
effective chartering, functioning, and utilization of such
cross-community working groups;****

Whereas, on 04 January 2012 the Drafting Team provided to the Council
for consideration Draft Principles for Cross-Community Working Groups:
http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/draft-principles-for-cwgs-23dec11-en.pdf+.+****

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:****

Resolved, that the GNSO Council hereby approves the Draft Principles
for Cross-Community Working Groups for its own guidance and requests
staff to disseminate them to the Chairs of the Supporting
Organizations and Advisory Committees asking them to provide input to
the GNSO Council in 60 days on both the principles themselves and the
route forward for community-wide adoption or development of a related
set of principles for the operation of Cross-Community Working
Groups;****

Resolved further, the GNSO Council thanks the Drafting Team members
for their work in developing the Draft Principles and disbands the
Team.****
