ii. Therefore the GAC advises the ICANN Board to:
-
- Consider to take better account of community views, and improve outcomes for communities, within the existing framework, independent of whether those communities have utilized ICANN’s formal community processes to date.

Board Action (Accept/Disagree)
The NGPC accepts the reiteration of the GAC’s earlier advice from the Beijing Communiqué. The NGPC accepted this advice<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-new-gtld-04jun13-en.htm#1.a> and stated as follows: Criterion 4 for the Community Priority Evaluation process takes into account 'community support and/or opposition to the application' in determining whether to award priority to a community application in a contention set. (Note however that if a contention set is not resolved by the applicants or through a community priority evaluation then ICANN will utilize an auction as the objective method for resolving the contention.)
The NGPC accepts this advice. The NGPC will consider taking better account of community views and improving outcomes for communities, within the existing framework, independent of whether those communities have utilized ICANN’s formal community processes to date. The NGPC notes that in general it may not be possible to improve any outcomes for communities beyond what may result from the utilization of the AGB’s community processes while at the same time remaining within the existing framework.
