 *   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.

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.

 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.

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>>

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.
