Resolution 1

Whereas, the Council has previously requested and received both the 15
June 2007 "GNSO Issues Report on Dispute Handling for IGO Names and
Abbreviations"
http://www.gnso.icann.org/issues/igo-names/issues-report-igo-drp-15jun07.pdf
and the 28 September 2007 "Staff Report on Draft IGO Domain Name Dispute
Resolution Procedure;"
http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/gnso-igo-drp-report-v2-28sep07.pdf

and

Whereas, the Council believes that further work on the draft IGO Domain
Name Dispute Resolution Procedure is appropriate before voting on
whether to initiate a policy development process on this issue; and

Whereas, the Intellectual Property Constituency is drafting and expects
to distribute not later than 28 November a revised proposed draft
dispute resolution procedure,

Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Council postpones until its 20
December meeting the vote on whether to initiate a policy development
process.

Resolution 2

Whereas the issues report  on Inter-Registrar Transfers
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/transfers/issues-report-transfer-denial-clarifications-19oct07.pdf

has been released and discussed

The GNSO council resolves to initiate a PDP to address the issues set
forth in the Issues Report by the Staff.

Resolution 3 failed

Whereas the Council has decided to initiate a PDP on Inter-registrar
Transfers, a Task Force will be created according to the By-laws,
section 5 of Annex A of the GNSO Policy Development Process.

Thus

Pursuant to the ICANN Bylaws
http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#AnnexA-8
8. Procedure if No Task Force is Formed

    a. If the Council decides not to convene a task force, the Council
will request that, within ten (10) calendar days thereafter, each
constituency appoint a representative to solicit the constituency's
views on the issue. Each such representative shall be asked to submit a
Constituency Statement to the Staff Manager within thirty-five (35)
calendar days after initiation of the PDP.

    b. The Council may also pursue other options that it deems
appropriate to assist in the PDP, including appointing a particular
individual or organization to gather information on the issue or
scheduling meetings for deliberation or briefing. All such information
shall be submitted to the Staff Manager within thirty-five (35) calendar
days after initiation of the PDP.

    c. The Staff Manager will take all Constituency Statements, Public
Comment Statements, and other information and compile (and post on the
Comment Site) an Initial Report within fifty (50) calendar days after
initiation of the PDP. Thereafter, the PDP shall follow the provisions
of Item 9 below in creating a Final Report.
