1.5. GNSO Pending Projects List
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/pending-projects-list.pdf">http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/pending-projects-list.pdf</a>
* Review main changes.
* Comments and/or questions.
Item 2: Consent agenda (5 minutes)
A consent agenda item is being added as a standard agenda item to provide for a
simplified process to obtain Council approval on specific tasks.
2.1 GAC/GNSO Issues Related to International Olympic Committee (IOC) & Red
Cross (RC) Names Drafting Team. Approve sending of note to GAC.
Item 3: Best practices for addressing abusive registrations (15 minutes)
Following the recommendation of the Registration Abuse Policies (RAP) Working
Group, the GNSO Council requested a discussion paper on the creation of
non-binding best practices to help registrars and registries address the
abusive registrations of domain names.
The discussion paper recommended the creation of two Working Groups, one to
establish the framework for best practices and one to propose candidate best
practices to address the abusive registration of domain names.
The Council must now consider a motion to set up a drafting team to create the
charter for these groups. This motion was deferred from the May 10, 2012
meeting.

3.2 Discussion
3.3 Vote
Item 4: WHOIS Access recommendation (10 minutes)
The WHOIS access recommendation was considered as part of the consent agenda at
the Council's 16 February 2012 meeting.
At that meeting, the ISP constituency requested that the proposal to end this
work be removed from the consent agenda and considered as part of the GNSO's
main agenda. A further suggestion was suggested that constituency/stakeholder
members work with Staff to identify a path forward and that the topic be
further discussed at the Costa Rica meetings.
A motion has been made to consider next steps.

Item 5: Outreach Task Force (OTF) (10 minutes)
The Council has set up a drafting team to develop a charter for an OTF. A
motion to approve that charter did not pass when made at the Dakar meeting. A
second motion was made at the December 15, 2011 meeting and was not seconded,
which meant it was not considered. In Costa Rica, the Council decided to form a
group to discuss options on how to proceed.
This is an update item on the work of that group.

5.2 Discussion
5.3 Next steps
Item 6: Fake Renewal Notices (10 minutes)
The GNSO Council requested that a small group prepare a request for information
concerning Fake Renewal Notices for the RrSG to help inform its deliberations
on the RAP WG Recommendation on Fake Renewal Notices (#2).
The drafting team submitted its
report<<a rel="nofollow" href="http://gnso.icann.org/issues/frn/fake-renewal-notices-report-06mar12-en.pdf">http://gnso.icann.org/issues/frn/fake-renewal-notices-report-06mar12-en.pdf</a>>
to the GNSO Council on 6 March. Following a presentation of the report to the
GNSO Council at the ICANN Meeting in Costa Rica, the GNSO Council decided to
put the report out for public comment.
A public comment forum was opened (see
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/fake-renewal-notices-report-21mar12-en.htm">http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/fake-renewal-notices-report-21mar12-en.htm</a>)

Item 7: Uniformity of Reporting (10 minutes)
To help inform its consideration of the RAPWG Recommendation on Uniformity of
Reporting, the GNSO Council requested the ICANN Compliance Department to report
on existing systems to report and track violations and/or complaints;
improvements made since the RAPWG Report or foreseen in the near future, and:
identify gaps and any improvements that might be desirable but not foreseen at
this stage.
The ICANN Compliance Team submitted its
report<<a rel="nofollow" href="http://gnso.icann.org/issues/rap/contractual-compliance-report-reporting-uniformity-16mar12-en.pdf">http://gnso.icann.org/issues/rap/contractual-compliance-report-reporting-uniformity-16mar12-en.pdf</a>>
on 18 March and presented it to the GNSO Council at its meeting on 12 April.
ICANN Staff also provided a background presentation on the RAP WG
Recommendation (see <a rel="nofollow" href="https://gnso.icann.org/node/30809">https://gnso.icann.org/node/30809</a>).
The GNSO Council is now expected to consider next steps, if any.

Item 8: Update on the Joint Supporting Organisations/Advisory Committee on New
gTLD Applicant Support Working Group (JAS WG) (15 minutes)
This item aims to provide the Council with a status update on the JAS WG so
that next steps for the group can be determined.
This was discussed at the May 10, 2012 Council meeting but as Kurt was unable
to attend, the Council felt another discussion point was needed on this
subject. Also, a number of questions were asked by the Council during its
previous meeting and it was felt that it would be useful to get responses from
Kurt to them.
8.1 WG update from Staff, and answers to Council questions (Kurt Pritz)

Item 9: Update on the Internationalised Registration Data (IRD) Working Group
(WG) (10 minutes)

needed by the IRD before its final report can be considered.
This agenda item is to provide an update on these latest developments in the
IRD WG's work to the Council.
