The Non-Contracted Parties House periodically holds an Intersessional meeting that gathers representatives from all of the non-contracted communities of the GNSO. The representatives gather as a group with ICANN staff and ICANN board members outside of a typical ICANN Public Meeting setting to discuss longer-range substantial community issues. While in recent memory the meeting has come to be held annually, no Intersessional was held in 2014, and there were discussions in 2017 around whether the meeting should be held every second year, or merged with the Global Domains Division Industry Summit. It is unclear as to whether there will be an Intersessional in 2019.

2018 Intersessional (Los Angeles, United States)[edit | edit source]

The fifth Intersessional was held in Los Angeles, United States in February 2018 following the GNSO Council Strategic Planning Session. The Non-Commercial Stakeholders Group (NCSG) played a critical role in the development of the meeting agenda, and representatives of the NCSG co-chaired all of the formal sessions. The agenda included sessions on GDPR/WHOIS, SUBPRO, the review of rights mechanisms in gTLDs, and conversations with the board and ICANN Staff.[1]

The location of Los Angeles was chosen because of budgetary reasons; the meeting is being held directly after the GNSO Council Strategic Planning Session, saving on travel costs for 22 participants, and because senior ICANN staff are based in this city. Many senior staff did not travel to the Intersessional in Iceland, resulting in feedback from participants that moving forward they would appreciate the participation of the CEO.

GDPR[edit | edit source]

The conflict between the GDPR and ICANN's approach to registration data was the central topic of the meeting between Goran Marby, John Jeffrey, and NCPH members.[2] The topic was also discussed in two plenary sessions, as well as in preparation for the NCPH's meetings with the board and the CEO. The message of the Intersessional was that "CANN’s self-community-driven work will eventually replace the interim compliance model."[3]

GNSO3[edit | edit source]

Members of the Organizational Effectiveness Committee joined the NCPH in a plenary session regarding community-driven review processes, including the launch of the Third GNSO Organizational Review. NCPH members expressed concern that the Second Stability, Security, and Resiliency Review had been suspended, and specifically the manner in which the ICANN Board intervened in the review process. The board had cited its "fiduciary responsibility" to manage community activities as its basis for suspending the review.[3] There was also discussion of the pending GNSO3 review, with various members of the NCPH renewing their objections to the scope and direction of the Second GNSO Organizational Review, and advocating for greater SO input in shaping the Terms of Reference for GNSO3.[4]

2017 Intersessional (Reykjavik, Iceland)[edit | edit source]

The fourth Intersessional, and first held outside of the United States, was held in Reykjavik, Iceland from 14 to 15 February 2017. Iceland was chosen because of its geographic location, roughly in between the US and Europe, making it convenient for most participants to reach.
