Introducing the GAC Advice Register
30 July 2012

ICANN and the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) are pleased to announce the 
launch of an online register of GAC Advice to the ICANN Board.  Arranged 
alphabetically by topic, the register tracks original GAC advice, responses 
from the Board, action items, dates of action, implementation plans and status 
of completion. The new GAC Advice 
Register<https://gacweb.icann.org/display/GACADV/GAC+Register+of+Advice> can be 
found on the GAC website.

Comprised of national governments, governmental organizations and distinct 
economies, the GAC is a principal advisor to the ICANN Board on issues of 
public policy, especially those pertaining to national laws and international 
agreements.

The online register was launched through the ongoing work of the Board/GAC 
Recommendation Implementation Working 
Group<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/board-gac-2011> to implement one of 
the recommendations made by the Accountability and Transparency Review 
Team<http://www.icann.org/en/news/in-focus/accountability> (ATRT). As GAC 
advice is received, it is entered into the register to go through an assessment 
phase while actions and implementation plans are determined.

All GAC advice preceding June 2012 also is available in the register, but any 
resulting actions or outstanding items still are being determined and 
chronicled.
