Dear All,
Thank you for the engagement so far. I encourage everyone to look up the
discussion and contribute their views.
I left out an item and I will just share it below. Kindly review the list
and let us know which of these tasks will you be confident to start doing
some research or actual work on. Kindly contribute, no effort is too little
guys. You can also identify work items you feel we should contribute to.

List of expected and known future GNSO work items

   1.

   Expired Registration Recovery Policy – Policy Review & Rec 27 (ERRP-PR)
   - The ERRP Consensus Policy became effective 31 Aug 2013 as a result of
   adopted recommendations produced from the GNSO’s Post Expiration Domain
   Name Recovery (PEDNR) PDP WG. That WG deliberated on issues related to the
   expiration of domain names and to what extent a Registrant should be able
   to recover domain names after they expire.
   2.

   Policy & Implementation Recommendations Review - The GNSO Council
   resolved in June 2015 that a “review of these recommendations is carried
   out at the latest five years following their implementation to assess
   whether the recommendations have achieved what they set out to do and/or
   whether any further enhancements or changes are needed”.
   3.

   EPDP on the Temporary Specification on gTLD Registration Data (Phase 3)
   – addressing items that are addressed in phase 2 such as priority 2 items
   that are dependent on external factors.
   4.

   Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs PDP – Phase 2
   Review of UDRP (RPM)
   5.

   Transfer Policy – Policy Review Scoping Team - ICANN Org delivered the
   most recent version of the Transfer Policy Status Report (TPSR) to the GNSO
   Council on 22 April 2019. The TPSR provides details on the noted purposes
   of the Transfer Policy (formerly known as the Inter-Registrar Transfer
   Policy (IRTP)), an overview of the domain name transfer process, the impact
   of the Temporary Specification and the Registration Data Access Protocol
   (RDAP) on the Transfer Policy, metrics related to the Transfer Policy, and
   a summary of the public comments and survey responses to the published
   TPSR. The GNSO Council formed a Transfer Policy Review Scoping Team to
   scope the work and advise the Council on next steps.
   6.

   Internationalized Domain Names - The GNSO Council established a scoping
   team to study the full extent of the impacts from both the IDN Variant TLD
   Recommendations and the IDN Guidelines upon existing registry agreements
   and future applicants, to determine the range of issues and appropriate
   mechanisms needed to address them (e.g., policy development, direct
   engagement with ICANN Org, other). This scoping team is limited to the
   tasks of identifying the scope of the issues and making a recommendation to
   the GNSO Council on the best mechanism(s) for resolution. Once in receipt
   of the recommendations from the scoping team, the GNSO Council will
   determine the appropriate next steps.
