Dear Councillors,

Ahead of the official minutes please find the two resolution passed by
the GNSO Council at its  meeting on 20 December 2012.

1
Motion to recommend protections in the first round of new gTLDs for
certain Red Cross / Red Crescent (RCRC) and International Olympic
Committee (IOC) names:
=============================================================================================================================

WHEREAS:
The Board Resolution 2011.06.20.01, authorized "the President and CEO to
implement the new gTLD program which includes . . . incorporation of
text concerning protection for specific
requested Red Cross and IOC names for the top level only during the
initial application round, until the GNSO and GAC develop policy advice
based on the global public interest, . ."
(http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-20jun11-en.htm)

The IOC/RC Drafting Team established 1 November 2011 by the GNSO Council
has considered a number of different options with respect to protections
of both the IOC and the RCRC terms in response to the GAC proposal to
provide permanent protection for such terms including at the second
level in new gTLDs;

The solution proposed by the IOC/RC Drafting Team, to initiate a PDP and
to provide temporary reservation of the exact match IOC/RC names, was
posted for public comment on
28 September 2012 and closed on 9 November 2012;

The GNSO has now (17 October 2012) initiated a policy development
process (PDP) to evaluate possible protections for certain international
organization names in all gTLDs,
including, specifically, whether to recommend policies to protect
IOC/RCRC names; and

Therefore, the IOC/RC Drafting Team recommends that the GNSO Council
recommend to the Board that it adopt the second recommendation of the
IOC/RC Drafting Team, providing
for temporary reservation of the exact match IOC/RC names, prior to the
delegation of the first round of new gTLDs.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That the GNSO Council adopts the IOC/RC Drafting Team's recommendation
to temporarily reserve the exact match of IOC and RCRC second level
domain names listed in
Section 2.2.1.2.3 of the Applicant Guidebook and per the GAC
recommendation of 14 September 2011 pending the outcome of the recently
launched policy development process
 involving International Governmental and Non-governmental Organizations.

That the GNSO Council thanks the members of the IOC/RC Drafting Team for
their efforts in producing these recommendations, and hereby disbands
the IOC/RC Drafting Team; and

That the Chair of the GNSO Council is authorized to forward these
recommendations to the ICANN Board.

2. Motion on the Adoption of a Working Group on Consumer Trust,
Consumer Choice, and Competition (CTCCC)

from 13-18 March 2011;

Whereas, the GNSO Council approved the Charter

responding to the Board request for establishing the definition,
measures, and three-year targets for those measures, for competition,
consumer trust and consumer choice in the context of the domain name
system;

Whereas, the CCI WG created a draft Advice Letter and posted it for
Public Comment
(http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/cctc-draft-advice-letter-23feb12-en.htm);

Whereas, the CCI WG reviewed all Public Comments and feedback from
public sessions and produced a Final Advice Letter
(http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/cctc/cctc-final-advice-letter-05dec12-en.pdf)
for consideration by the SOs and ACs.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:
