This GNSO Policy Development Process was launched in June 2014 to examine whether changes to the existing dispute resolution processes at the second level in all gTLDs (i.e. the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) procedure) were needed to address the specific needs of international governmental organizations (IGOs) and international non-governmental organizations (INGOs). The PDP Working Group published its preliminary recommendations for public comment and has thoroughly considered the comments received. These recommendations deal with a number of issues, including that of standing to file a complaint under the UDRP and URS and IGO jurisdictional immunity, for which the Working Group had sought the advice of an external legal expert. In this session, the Working Group will discuss its proposed final recommendations with the community. All are welcome to attend, especially those with an interest in domain name disputes and IGO concerns regarding abuse of their names and acronyms in the domain name system.

On 26 May, 2015, the ICANN Board reaffirmed its 2012 request for a Board-initiated PDP to define the purpose of collecting, maintaining and providing access to gTLD registration data, and to consider safeguards for protecting data, using the recommendations in the EWG’s Final Report as an input to, and, if appropriate, as the foundation for a new gTLD policy. Accordingly, the GNSO Next-Generation gTLD RDS PDP Working Group is currently working through phase 1 of the Board-requested PDP, using the Framework’s 3-phase process to (1) establish gTLD registration data requirements to determine if and why a next-generation RDS is needed, (2) design policies that detail functions that must be provided by a next-generation RDS to support those requirements, and (3) provide guidance for how a next-generation RDS should implement those policies, coexisting with and eventually replacing WHOIS. The purpose of this cross-community session is to obtain community feedback on key concepts related to the purposes of gTLD registration data and directory services, data elements required by those purposes, and related data protection and privacy requirements, and access requirements. The WG is currently deliberating on these concepts and hopes to solicit community feedback on its rough consensus agreements to date at ICANN59.
This session will be led by RDS PDP WG chair Chuck Gomes, supported by vice chairs David Cake, Susan Kawaguchi, and Michele Neylon and by ICANN Policy Staff members Marika Konings, Lisa Phifer, and Amr Elsadr. During this session, the WG will focus on making progress on near-term tasks outlined in the WG's work plan (see https://community.icann.org/x/oIxlAw). Specifically, the WG plans to continue its deliberation on key concepts for users/purposes, data elements, privacy and access to gTLD registration data. This meeting will be open to WG members, WG observers and guests. For further information about this PDP, please see https://community.icann.org/x/rjJ-Ag

On 28 February 2016, the GNSO Council voted to initiate this Policy Development Process (PDP) and adopted the Working Group Charter (updated from its draft form following work by several Council volunteers) in March 2016 (https://community.icann.org/x/2CWAAw). The PDP is being conducted in two phases, beginning with the Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) developed for the 2012 New gTLD Program, with the 1999 Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy to follow in Phase 2.
As part of the first phase of this PDP, the Working Group is currently completing its review of the Trademark Claims Clearinghouse (TMCH), and using Sub Teams to assist it in beginning the process to review Sunrise Registrations and Trademark Claims. The Working Group will take advantage of the face-to-face meeting at the Policy Forum at ICANN 59 to further deliberate on Charter questions pertaining to these two Rights Protection Mechanisms, in addition to soliciting input from the broader community on these ongoing discussions.

The Board-GAC Recommendations Implementation Working Group (BGRI-WG) was created to implement GAC-related recommendations of the first ICANN Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT1). Its term was then extended to implement GAC-related recommendations of the second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT2). Most recently, the BGRI-WG was re-convened with the mandate of looking into and reviewing “Effectiveness of GAC Advice”, where in some cases, it is difficult to determine whether (or not) ICANN Board has accepted GAC Advice, where there is clear evidence that advice has been accepted, to what degree it has been implemented, and whether or not the GAC feel the implementation adequately meets GAC’s original intent. The session will finalize discussion on the current definition of what constitutes GAC Advice, the structure, elements and aspects of GAC advice, as well as institutionalizing a post communique Board-GAC exchange; and will discuss the way forward regarding logging and tracking GAC Advice to the Board in a satisfactory and complete manner.
