Community-Based Applications for gTLDs

The GAC discussed the recommendations of the report commissioned by the Council of Europe: Applications to ICANN For Community-Based New Generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs): Opportunities and challenges from a human rights perspective and was briefed by one of the authors. The GAC agreed that the report’s recommendations should be seen as an input to the PDP Working Group on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures.

It was agreed that the GAC Chair would write to the Board seeking an update on the status of the report called for in Board Resolution 2016-09-17: President and CEO Review of New gTLD Community Priority Evaluation Report Procedures.

Meeting with Data Protection Stakeholders

As part of a series of discussions across the ICANN community, the GAC met with representatives of data protection authorities, organised by the Council of Europe, to discuss data protection issues. Issues raised included the modernisation process for Convention 108 (Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data); balancing the interests of data protection and law enforcement; and consistency of ICANN contractual requirements with data protection laws.
