Consensus met
2016-11-08 Two-letter country/territory codes at the second level
The GAC advises the ICANN Board to:
- Clearly indicate whether the actions taken by the Board as referred to in the resolution adopted on 8 November 2016 are fully consistent with the GAC advice given in the Helsinki Communiqué.
- Always communicate in future the position of the Board regarding GAC advice on any matter in due time before adopting any measure directly related to that advice.
Rationale
The Board approved a resolution on this matter at its meeting of 8 November 2016. In this connection, the GAC expresses serious concern that the Board has proceeded to take a decision in this matter without responding to the GAC’s advice provided in the Helsinki Communiqué, and thus impeded the GAC from having the opportunity to react. In the view of the GAC, this is not in accordance with established GAC-Board procedures.
