Phase 2AP FeedbackSSAC issued the addendum to SAC114 in February 2022 and requested that the ICANN org formally take SAC114 recommendations out of their deferred state in the Action Request Register and proceed with the consideration process. Is there an expected timeframe for the statements of understanding for SAC114?

Phase 2Phase ChangeNow in Phase 2: Understand

 

Phase 1Phase UpdateICANN org thanked the SSAC for their feedback and apologized for the misunderstanding. SAC114: SSAC Comments on the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report is now in process.

 

Phase 1AP FeedbackThe SSAC Admin Committee disagreed with the org's understanding: While the public comment process prompted the SSAC’s initial work on SAC114, due to time constraints the SSAC chose not to submit its comment through the Working Group’s Public Comment process. Instead, the SSAC analyzed the Draft Final Report and larger issues it raises with respect to continued allocation of the DNS namespace holistically and prepared this comment, and the recommendations within it, to the ICANN Board for consideration through the normal ARR process.

 

Phase 1Phase UpdateICANN is in receipt of the following statement: [ADVICE] SAC114: SSAC Comments on the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/sac-114-en.pdf) The ICANN org understands that this statement is the [ADVICE] SAC114: SSAC Comments on the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report. As this item will be considered via the Public Comment process, there is no action for the ICANN Board, and the item will be considered closed.
