Session Details:

Thomas Schneider, GAC Chair

The GAC will be discussing the role of the GAC in the Empowered Community

GAC leadership group to prepare a proposal on the proposed Bylaw amendment and submit this to the GAC for consideration (Leadership Group + ACIG GAC Secretariat).
GAC to be kept informed of all relevant CCWG-Accountability developments and consider responses to WS2 draft proposals and requests for information on their merits (GAC Members of CCWG-WS2 + ACIG GAC Secretariat).

Session Minutes:

(includes Agenda Item 22.)

The GAC agreed to adopt on an interim basis the principles and procedures for participation in the Empowered Community, and to use these as a guide until the ICANN 60 meeting. A small steering group would be formed to develop longer-term arrangements for consideration and agreement at the ICANN 60 meeting.

With regard to proposed amendments to the Fundamental Bylaw on Reconsideration Requests, the GAC participated in the Community Forum through the GAC Chair (as the GAC representative in the Empowered Community Administration) and through individual members who sought clarification of several points.

The GAC agreed that it would consider the proposed amendment and attempt to reach a consensus position as a Decisional Participant within the timeframe specified in the Bylaws (that is, by 21 July 2017); and that the draft principles and procedures proposed in the briefing document prepared by the ACIG GAC Secretariat would be used as interim principles for this instance only, pending further consideration at the next GAC face to face meeting.

The GAC was briefed by one of the Co-Chairs of the CCWG-Accountability Work Stream 2 (Thomas Rickert) on the current work of the CCWG and its sub-groups and the relevant timelines. GAC members expressed a range of views on the scope of work of the sub- group on jurisdiction and how this has been addressed at the sub-group and plenary levels.
