GAC Advice

The GAC provides advice to the ICANN Board on policy matters where there may be an interaction between ICANN’s policies and various laws, international agreements and public policy objectives. GAC Advice is communicated to the ICANN Board through either a Communique or a formal piece of Correspondence.

Communication

In addition to the advice previously communicated to the Board on June 17, 2012:

The GAC advises the Board

    • that it requires further clarification as to the status of its pending request for enhanced protections for the IOC and Red Cross/Red Crescent names at the top and second levels, in light of the Board's rejection of the GNSO's recommendations intended to refine the means of enhanced protection at the top level in April, 2012.

Current Status/Communications Log

The Board acknowledges receipt of the GAC advice in the Prague Communiqué and is mindful of the GAC letters on this topic of 11 May 2011 (https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/18645054/20110512-GAC+Statement+on+IOC+and+Red+Cross+Movement.pdf) and 12 April 2012 (http://www.icann.org/en/news/correspondence/dryden-to-crocker-icann-board-12apr12-en).

We are committed to reaching a timely resolution. On 13 September 2012, the New gTLD Program Committee undertook a resolution on the IOC and Red Cross/Red Crescent names, citing the GAC advice on this issue and seeking input from the GNSO no later than 31 January 2012 on second-level protections. This will allow for second-level protections (if appropriate) to be in place for those gTLDs entering the root as part of the first round of the New gTLD Program. The Board is aware that it is necessary to provide a response to the GAC in time for subsequent processes to occur within the time allotted for new gTLD application evaluations.

The New gTLD Committee of the Board addressed the issue of IOC and Red Cross/Red Crescent names in the 'Progress Report on New gTLD Issues Raised in Prague.' The Board has also instructed the ICANN staff to review and report back on all contributions.
