Reminder: I hope you all will join in next Tuesday's NCSG Open Policy  
Meeting, which is an open discussion between the NCSG Policy  
Committee, including the NCSG GNSO Councilors and the entire NCSG  
membership.

The meeting is on 12 March, which is 2 days before the next GNSO  
Council meeting to help prepare for NCSG's participation in that  
meeting.  We will also discuss preparations for the Beijing ICANN  
meeting next month and review open comment periods and working groups.

Dial-in and remote participation details are below.  Also below is a  
draft discussion agenda.  If anyone needs a dial-out, please let me  
know at least 24-hours before the meeting to ensure we have enough  
time to make the dial-out happen.

Please join in the discussion.  Thank you!

Best,
Robin

B. Discussion Issues (no vote)

1. Policy vs. Implementation

Recent issues highlight an ongoing broader issue regarding the boundary
between policy development and implementation work as well as the  
effective
integration of policy development and integration work from the outset.

In addition, the Council is increasingly asked to consider issues for  
policy
guidance and may well need to look at the evolution of its own work and
processes to accommodate this type of request.

Recent discussions on the Council mailing list indicate that there is an
interest to undertake further work on this issue. At the same time,  
ICANN
Staff has published a paper
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/policy-implementation- 
framework-08j
an13-en.pdf>   that is intended to facilitate further community  
discussions
on this topic.

Further community discussion will take place in Beijing and the  
inclusion of
this agenda item here serves to keep the issue on the agenda of the  
Council
in the interim.

2,  Whois Privacy and Proxy Relay and Reveal Study

At the ICANN Meeting in Toronto, Lyman Chapin presented the results  
of the
survey
<http://toronto45.icann.org/meetings/toronto2012/presentation-whois- 
survey-1
7oct12-en.pdf>  that evaluated the feasibility of conducting a future
in-depth study into communication Relay and identity Reveal requests  
sent
for gTLD domain names registered using Proxy and Privacy services.

The Council discussed this at its 14 February 2013 meeting but did  
not reach
a firm conclusion.  Some expressed concern about going ahead with the  
study
now, when a lot of other Whois activities are going on, while others
appeared to support moving forward as the study could result in data  
that
would help inform ongoing Whois activities.

One  possible way forward is that staff is asked to go ahead with the  
RFP
for this work and then report back to the Council before going ahead  
with
the study? In this way, some of the preparatory work could be done,  
which
would allow us to move forward quickly if/when the Council decides to  
move
ahead.

3.  GNSO Council in Beijing Meeting Planning

The GNSO Council has the opportunity to shape the topics and
substance of the Council's proposed meetings with other groups in  
Beijing
such as the CCNSO, the GAC and the ICANN board.

What topics would NCSG members like to see on GNSO Council's  
discussion agendas in Beijng?

4.  Confirmation of attendance of NCSG Representatives for 14 March  
meeting and need for any proxies to be arranged?
