GNSO – Next-Generation RDS PDP WG Face to Face Meeting
GNSO - Next-Generation Registration Directory Services (RDS) to replace WHOIS PDP Working Group Face-to-Face Meeting
Summary of the meeting: This is a face-to-face meeting of the GNSO Policy Development Process Working Group on a next-generation gTLD Registration Directory Service (RDS) to replace WHOIS (Next-Gen RDS). This Working Group has been tasked by the GNSO Council to provide it with recommendations on the following questions: What are the fundamental requirements for gTLD registration data and is a new policy framework and next-generation RDS needed to address these requirements? The majority of this WG meeting is expected to focus upon using available inputs to develop a comprehensive and inclusive list of possible requirements for gTLD registration data and directory services.
Who should attend and why: Community members that collect, store, provide, or use registration data using the WHOIS system today have a vested interest in the outcome of this PDP. The WG is currently gathering available inputs and possible requirements for gTLD registration directory services. This session provides an opportunity for WG members, WG observers and guests to help shape possible requirements to be deliberated upon by this WG. The WG will strive to reach consensus on requirements, using them to decide if and why a next-generation RDS is needed to replace WHOIS.
What to expect from this session: This session will be led by RDS PDP WG chair Chuck Gomes, supported by vice chairs David Cake, Susan Kawaguchi, and Michele Neylon and by ICANN Policy Staff members Marika Konings and Lisa Phifer. During this session, the WG will focus on making progress on near-term tasks outlined in the WG's work plan (see https://community.icann.org/x/oIxlAw).
This meeting will be open to both WG members, WG observers and guests. For further information about this PDP, please see https://community.icann.org/x/rjJ-Ag

Organizational Reviews (GNSO Review, At-Large Review, etc.) and Specific Reviews (CCT Review, SSR Review, ATRT Review, and RDS/WHOIS Review) are mandated by the new Bylaws.

Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Research Results
ICANN has published findings from a series of surveys and studies that will serve as inputs for the Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team’s assessment of the New gTLD Program. Nielsen conducted two surveys each of global consumer and domain name registrants to better understand their perceived sense of trust, choice and experience in the domain name landscape, and how those opinions changed over the course of a year. In addition, Nielsen surveyed new gTLD applicants about their experiences regarding the New gTLD Program application and evaluation processes. In a separate study, organizations in the developing world were surveyed to provide insight into factors that would motivate program candidates to apply. In this session, study authors will provide a detailed briefing on the results of their inquiries.

GNSO IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protections Working Group – Presentation of Initial Report
Summary of the meeting: This GNSO Policy Development Process was launched in June 2014 to examine whether or not changes to the existing dispute resolution processes offering curative rights protection at the second level in all gTLDs (the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy and the Uniform Rapid Suspension procedure) were needed in view of the specific needs and concerns of international governmental organizations (IGOs) and international non-governmental organizations (INGOs). The PDP Working Group commenced its work in June 2014. Following analysis of the needs and concerns of IGOs and INGOs in relation to the need to provide adequate curative rights protection against abuse of their names and acronyms, the Working Group consulted an external legal expert to obtain advice on issues relating to jurisdictional immunity for IGOs. The Working Group also sought input from the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) and IGO representatives. The Working Group has completed its initial deliberations and will present its preliminary PDP recommendations to the community at this session, for feedback and discussion.

Cross Community - New gTLD Auction Proceeds Cross-Community Working Group
Summary of the meeting: Overview: The new gTLD Program established auctions as a mechanism of last resort to resolve string contention (Competition between 2 or more applicants for TLDs). Most string contention sets (approximately 90% of sets scheduled for auction) have been resolved through other means before reaching an auction conducted by ICANN through ICANN's authorized auction service provider, Power Auctions LLC. It was recognized from the outset that significant funds could accrue as a result of several auctions. As such, these auction proceeds have been reserved and earmarked until the Board authorizes a plan for the appropriate use of the funds. These proceeds are to be considered as an exceptional, one-time source of revenue.
The ICANN community has indicated that it wants to create a Cross-Community Working Group (CCWG) to develop a proposal(s) for eventual consideration by the ICANN Board on the mechanism that should be created to allocate the new gTLD Auction Proceeds. The proposed Charter for this CCWG, which has been developed by representatives of the different ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees as well as representatives from the ICANN Board, has been submitted for adoption to the ICANN SO/ACs by ICANN57. This session will provide an overview of the proposed charter as well as anticipated next steps.
Who should attend and why: Members and representatives from the different ICANN SO/ACs that may have an interest in serving as a Chartering Organization representative on the CCWG as well as any other individuals that may be interested in tracking the work of and/or participating in the CCWG, following the approval of the charter.
