WELCOME ALEJANDRA ! Find out the latest about the ccNSO. ccNSO Newsletter | April 2021 Meet the new ccNSO Council Chair Interview with Alejandra Reynoso, ccNSO Council Chair In this newsletter we are featuring an interview with ccNSO Council Chair Alejandra Reynoso. Learn more about Alejandra, how she recommends to get more ccTLD managers actively involved in the work of the ccNSO, and what she sees as the challenges ahead for the country code Name Supporting Organisation. Read the interview here. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Bv10hIWVAC_v5EU1aNeDI0p4LgiMcO2K81ydmJyS_3WA…> With a master's degree in computer science and technology, Alejandra joined .gt country code top-level domain (ccTLD) in 2011, which is located in her alma mater Universidad del Valle de Guatemala. As a researcher and technology developer, Alejandra is responsible for all technical aspects and information systems of the .gt registry. Her native language is Spanish, and she is fluent in English and Portuguese. In 2011, Alejandra began her journey at ICANN as a Fellow at ICANN41 in Singapore. She then joined the ccNSO, was a working group member, and later a chair of the meeting programme working group. In 2015, the Latin American and Caribbean members elected Alejandra as a ccNSO Councillor and since ICANN64, she was one of the two ccNSO Council Vice Chairs. During ICANN70, the ccNSO Council appointed Alejandra as Chair. Status update ccNSO Policy Development ccPDP4 (de)selection IDN ccTLD Strings The ccPDP4 Working Group is advancing the process for the selection of Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) ccTLD strings. The results of this ccPDP will eventually replace the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process. The working group has made considerable progress and intends to seek feedback and input from the broader community during the upcoming ICANN71 Policy Forum. ccPDP3 Retirement Following closure of the Public Comment proceeding on the Initial Report, the proposed policy for ccPDP3 on the retirement of country code top-level domains will now go into the decision-making phase. First it will be presented to the ccNSO Council for voting and then, if supported by the ccNSO Council, to the ccNSO members. The ccTLD and broader communities will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposals before voting begins. ccPDP3 Review Mechanisms The ccPDP3-RM Working Group, which develops a review mechanism for decisions regarding the delegation, transfer, revocation, and retirement of ccTLDs, has presented its results to date in a community webinar <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Bv10hIWVAC_v5EU1aNeDI0p4LgiMcO2K81ydmJyS_3WA…> . To date the working group has identified which decisions should be subject to a review and explored the requirements for the review mechanism. In the near future, it will take a deep-dive into the various requirements and related topics. On 15 April, the ccNSO organised 2 editions of a webinar on ccPDP3 and ccPDP4. Main target audience was the broader ccTLD community and GAC. The webinar was well attended, and provided insights on the current status for both policy development efforts, as well as information about the applicability of the policy to ccTLD managers and others.
