[NCUC-EC] GNSO Council Agenda

[Andrea Glandon]

Hello all!

The GNSO Council Agenda for May was just released and I noticed this. I wasn’t sure if this would change anything with the half-day event prior to ICANN83.


Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE - Deferral of the Next Steps of Phase Two of the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) in All New gTLDs Policy Development Process (PDP) for an Additional Six Months (20 minutes)



The Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) in All New gTLDs Policy Development Process (PDP) was chartered to be conducted in two phases: Phase One focused on a review of all the RPMs that were developed for the 2012 New gTLD Program, and Phase Two will focus on issues identified in respect of the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP).

Following the ICANN Board’s approval of the Phase 1 recommendations in January 2022, the GNSO Council discussed delaying Phase Two of the RPMs PDP until the completion of key milestones for the Implementation Review Team, once launched. The Phase One IRT was launched in December 2022 with a projected end date of December 2024. During its meeting on 16 February 2023<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/gnsocouncilmeetings/pages/111103308/Final+Proposed+Agenda+2023-02-16>, the GNSO Council agreed to defer next steps on the RPMs PDP Phase Two for 18 months.

In October 2024, GNSO support staff advised the GNSO Council leadership of staff estimates that the implementation of RPMs Phase One would be delayed until the third quarter of 2025. In light of this, the Council voted to defer the next steps on Phase Two for an additional six months. Following the direction of the Councilors who reviewed the progress to date, the Council is voting to defer the consideration of next steps for Phase 2 for an additional six months.
