Refer to motion:

Following the drafting of an Issue Report on a possible review of the UDRP, a motion is before the Council to initiate a PDP on this topic and that a drafting team be formed to write a charter for the working group.

Refer to motion

5.1 Reading of the motion (Ching Chiao)
5.2 Discussion
5.3 Vote

Item 6: Cross-TLD registration scam and domain kiting (10 minutes)

At the previous Council meeting, there was discussion on possible next steps and decisions that could be made on this topic, following SSAC's response (http://gnso.icann.org/correspondence/gnso-council-chair-to-faltstrom-10oct11-en.pdf) .

Staff has suggested several options: 

Adding these issues to the mandate of the Fake Renewal Notices Drafting Team which is tasked to prepare a request for information for the Registrar Stakeholder Group to obtain further information on the issue of Fake Renewal Notices in order to help inform the GNSO Council on the appropriate next steps, if any. As there are certain similarities, especially between the cross-tld registration scam and fake renewal notices, it might be possible for this DT to also try and obtain further information on that specific issue to help inform the Council's deliberations.
Continue discussions on the topic of cross-TLD registration scam with the ccNSO to discuss whether there are any steps that could be taken or considered jointly. The GNSO Council and the ccNSO Council had some initial discussions on this topic at its meeting in Dakar and as this is an issue that also affects ccTLDs there might be common approaches to be explored. As noted, such approaches might involve improved communication / education in relation to this issue as it is not clear at this stage that this issue could be addressed through policy development.
Do nothing – as there is no set mechanism for data gathering or monitoring of abuses at the moment or any evidence that these practices are in non-compliance with ICANN policies or agreements, the GNSO Council could decide to not undertake any further action at this stage. Note, at any point in time, should further information or data become available, any Council member or SO/AC could raise this issue again for further consideration. 
This discussion item aims at seeing if this issue should be closed or if work should continue.

6.1 Discussion
6.2 Next steps

Item 7: Joint SO/AC WG on New gTLD Applicant Support Working Group (JAS WG) (10 minutes)

This agenda item is to update the Council on recent developments in the JAS WG, and more specifically details of the measures being taken to implement the recommendations made in the JAS Final Report that was sent to the Board.

7.1 Update from Staff (X Y)
7.2 Discussion

Item 8: Transitioning existing Policy Development Process (PDP) work to the new PDP procedures (10 minutes)

At its meeting on December  8, 2011, the Board adopted the new GNSO PDP.

Out of that comes the following text: 'For all ongoing PDPs initiated prior to the adoption by the Board, the Council shall determine the feasibility of transitioning to the procedures set forth in this Annex A for all remaining steps within the PDP. If the Council determines that any ongoing PDP cannot be feasibly transitioned to these updated procedures, the PDP shall be concluded according to the procedures set forth in Annex A in force on before the adoption of the new Annex A by the Board'.

Currently the following PDPs are under way:

-       IRTP Part C (Working Group)

-       Thick Whois (Preliminary Issue Report out for public comment)

-       RAA (Preliminary Issue Report in preparation)

-       Uniformity of Contracts (Preliminary Issue Report in preparation)

-      UDRP - (pending)
