The PDP Working Group expects to publish its final report with its recommendations by December 2019. These recommendations may lead to procedural changes for subsequent rounds of gTLD applications, which ICANN org must implement and manage. In the course of our preparatory work toward the planning and implementation of the new policy, ICANN org has compiled a number of fundamental operationally focused assumptions to help with the preliminary planning and operational readiness of the organization. These are working assumptions informed by the current work of the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group. Depending on outcome of the PDP Working Group and community input, the assumptions may be updated. These assumptions have been shared with the ICANN Board, as well as the PDP Working Group and other parts of the community. ICANN org has held discussions and/or received input from the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group, GAC, ALAC, and RSSAC. ICANN org plans to summarize the community input received on the operational planning assumptions and share with the ICANN Board at its September workshop. Any community input received by Friday, 30 August 2019 will be included in the summary.

The review will start with gathering community input via a survey about several aspects of the NextGen@ICANN Program, including its purpose, goals, processes, and synergies with the ICANN academic community. The survey <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001YbMZcvOYFzk6dsHxTiVQsNtNs9j2OeEy_iWq67meFTG8…> (PDF with background at the beginning and questionnaire questions at the end) is intended for all ICANN community groups; individuals are encouraged to work with their relevant Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees, stakeholder groups, and constituencies. Responses are due Monday, 9 September 2019. Based on the input received from the survey, ICANN org will draft a proposal for program improvements that will be published for Public Comment. Once all feedback is received, ICANN org will prepare the final proposal for program improvements.

Very few organizations indicated their intention to bid on this work, so the ICANN org decided to extend the deadline for proposal submission to Friday, 23 August 2019.

The review will start with gathering community input via a survey about several aspects of the NextGen@ICANN Program, including its purpose, goals, processes, and synergies with the ICANN academic community. The survey <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001sj4nF7jHsoag2ac5aJBTAwuCcdkT022_pdYh4tvhmF_7…> (PDF with background at the beginning and questionnaire questions at the end) is intended for all ICANN community groups; individuals are encouraged to work with their relevant Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees, stakeholder groups, and constituencies.

The PDP Working Group expects to publish its final report with its recommendations by December 2019. These recommendations may lead to procedural changes for subsequent rounds of gTLD applications, which ICANN org must implement and manage. In the course of our preparatory work toward the planning and implementation of the new policy, ICANN org has compiled a number of fundamental operationally focused assumptions to help with the preliminary planning and operational readiness of the organization. These are working assumptions informed by the current work of the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group. Depending on outcome of the PDP Working Group and community input, the assumptions may be updated. These assumptions have been shared with the ICANN Board, as well as the PDP Working Group and other parts of the community. ICANN org has held discussions and/or received input from the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group, GAC, ALAC, and RSSAC. ICANN org plans to summarize the community input received on the operational planning assumptions and share with the ICANN Board at its September workshop. Any community input received by Friday, 30 August 2019 will be included in the summary.

I am pleased to inform you the CSC has concluded that PTI’s overall performance over June 2019 was “Excellent” - PTI met the service level agreement at 100% for the month of June 2019. The related PTI report to the CSC, listing the individual service level metrics along with their actual and historical performance, can be found here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001f6esFs8oxOlBvT0z-20Q1AcjTiCJd5Y_uSEgpLD9Ax7P…> .

If you would like to be informed of upcoming meetings or receive CSC reports directly, you may want to subscribe to our announce list <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001f6esFs8oxOlBvT0z-20Q1AcjTiCJd5Y_uSEgpLD9Ax7P…>. Any comments on our reporting to you is welcome. The CSC became effective October 1, 2016. Background information on the committee along with transcripts of our meetings and other useful information can be found here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001f6esFs8oxOlBvT0z-20Q1AcjTiCJd5Y_uSEgpLD9Ax7P…> . REMINDER: Submission Deadline for NCAP Study 1 RFP Extended Executive: David Conrad, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING On 9 July 2019, the ICANN org opened an RFP to select a contractor to research and write Study 1 of the Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP), a project overseen by SSAC at the request of the ICANN Board. Very few organizations indicated their intention to bid on this work, so the ICANN org decided to extend the deadline for proposal submission to Friday, 23 August. More information <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001f6esFs8oxOlBvT0z-20Q1AcjTiCJd5Y_uSEgpLD9Ax7P…>. All community leaders are encouraged to share this information with any organizations they believe might be interested and capable of performing the work. REMINDER: NextGen@ICANN Survey Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Adviser to President and Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING The ICANN organization is initiating a community consultation <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001f6esFs8oxOlBvT0z-20Q1AcjTiCJd5Y_uSEgpLD9Ax7P…> to identify improvement opportunities for the NextGen@ICANN Program <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001f6esFs8oxOlBvT0z-20Q1AcjTiCJd5Y_uSEgpLD9Ax7P…>. The review will start with gathering community input via a survey about several aspects of the NextGen@ICANN Program, including its purpose, goals, processes, and synergies with the ICANN academic community. The survey <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001f6esFs8oxOlBvT0z-20Q1AcjTiCJd5Y_uSEgpLD9Ax7P…> (PDF with background at the beginning and questionnaire questions at the end) is intended for all ICANN community groups; individuals are encouraged to work with their relevant Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees, stakeholder groups, and constituencies. Responses are due Monday, 9 September. Based on the input received from the survey, ICANN org will draft a proposal for program improvements that will be published for Public Comment. Once all feedback is received, ICANN org will prepare the final proposal for program improvements. Sally Costerton's blog about the NextGen@ICANN Community Consultation <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001f6esFs8oxOlBvT0z-20Q1AcjTiCJd5Y_uSEgpLD9Ax7P…> REMINDER: Planning Assumptions for Subsequent Procedures for New gTLDs Executive: Cyrus Namazi, Senior Vice President, Global Domains Division FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING In December 2015, the GNSO initiated a Policy Development Process (PDP) to determine if changes to existing policy recommendations are needed before the next round of gTLDs. The PDP Working Group expects to publish its final report with its recommendations by December 2019. These recommendations may lead to procedural changes for subsequent rounds of gTLD applications, which ICANN org must implement and manage. In the course of our preparatory work toward the planning and implementation of the new policy, ICANN org has compiled a number of fundamental operationally focused assumptions to help with the preliminary planning and operational readiness of the organization. These are working assumptions informed by the current work of the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group. Depending on outcome of the PDP Working Group and community input, the assumptions may be updated. These assumptions have been shared with the ICANN Board, as well as the PDP Working Group and other parts of the community. ICANN org has held discussions and/or received input from the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group, GAC, ALAC, and RSSAC. ICANN org plans to summarize the community input received on the operational planning assumptions and share with the ICANN Board at its September workshop. Any community input received by Friday, 30 August will be included in the summary. To submit additional feedback, please contact Trang Nguyen, trang.nguyen(a)icann.org ICANN66 Planning THIS WEEK: ICANN65 Planning Teleconference Executive: David Olive, Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING The first ICANN66 planning teleconference will take place on Thursday, 8 August at 14:00 UTC. A calendar invitation has been sent to the ICANN Public Meeting community planning mailing list. LOOKING AHEAD: Publication Support Deadlines Executive: David Olive, Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING Design Deadline If you require design assistance for an ICANN66 publication, all text, images, layout, and publication type/size requirements (i.e. newsletter, 1-pager, tri-fold, etc.) are due Friday, 23 August. Due to budget constraints, please keep in mind that all materials, new or updated, need to be evergreen. Translation Deadline If your ICANN66 publication requires translation, please provide the final material(s) by Friday, 6 September. This ensures that there is enough time to translate the publication by the print deadline. If your materials require design assistance (outlined above), please note that the final materials will have to be complete, including the edit/approval process, by this deadline in order to be translated. Print-Only Deadline If you only need your ICANN66 publication printed (meaning your publication is ready to send directly to the printer and needs no translation or design/layout modifications), please provide the file along with the quantity you want printed and dimensions of the publication by Friday, 20 September.
