> B. Council 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. Registrar Agreement Amendment (RAA) Negotiations
> After all LEA issues were near-resolved, ICANN staff unilaterally
> cut-off negotiations with registrars and is trying to impose new
> and additional terms in the agreement, including a term that gives
> ICANN the right to unilaterally change key terms of the agreement.
> ICANN is also trying to force the Registries to accept this term in
> their agreement. Growing concern in GNSO of ICANN staff
> unilateralism and under-cutting the bottom-up multi-stakeholder
> governance model.

> 3. 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.
