  • The Board’s response to GAC advice on IGO protections: See Agenda Item 6
  • Recent dialogue between the GAC, the GAC Public Safety Working Group and the ICANN CEO on mitigating domain name abuse: GAC and PSWG members thanked the CEO for the dialogue and looked forward to further regular exchanges if possible.
  • Improvements to ICANN document handling: The CEO acknowledged that there were problems with lack of consistent document labelling/tracking including in the ICANN website. ICANN was working on a new document management system as part of a major project.
  • Receiving Board responses to GAC advice earlier: The Board would try to avoid conveying their responses just before an ICANN meeting.
  • Changes in Board and ICANN Organisation procedures for processing GAC advice: This is in place at the Board level. The CEO said that ICANN organisation was looking at ways to support fact-based discussions in the GAC, including addressing concerns of individual countries.
  • Options for GAC adding value to the annual GDD Summit: The CEO said that ICANN organisation facilitates the summits but does not set the agenda, and that some cross-community dialogue, or at least exchange of information, should be possible.
  • Opportunities for the GAC to contribute to ICANN work on the interaction between the European Union General Data Protection Regulation and Registration Directory Services
