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. More information <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001sj4nF7jHsoag2ac5aJBTAwuCcdkT022_pdYh4tvhmF_7…>. 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=001sj4nF7jHsoag2ac5aJBTAwuCcdkT022_pdYh4tvhmF_7…> to identify improvement opportunities for the NextGen@ICANN Program <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001sj4nF7jHsoag2ac5aJBTAwuCcdkT022_pdYh4tvhmF_7…>. 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. To submit additional feedback, please contact Trang Nguyen, trang.nguyen(a)icann.org ICANN66 Planning NEW: CROP Deadline for ICANN66 Executive: David Olive, Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING For eligible groups planning to use CROP funds to conduct outreach during ICANN66, requests must be submitted no later than Friday, 13 September 2019. No exceptions will be made.

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…> . I’m also very pleased to inform you that the CSC was informed that the changed Technical Check – Retest and Supplemental Amended SLAs became effective 1 July 2019. Two other Service Levels listed in the CSC Findings report are now in the process of being updated: 1. The Public Comment proceeding <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001f6esFs8oxOlBvT0z-20Q1AcjTiCJd5Y_uSEgpLD9Ax7P…> on introduction of a new Service Level Agreement for processing Label Generation Rules with respect to Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) tables and publishing these tables closed on 26 July 2019. This is a new SLA to be introduced at the suggestion of the CSC. 2. The country code top-level domain creation/transfer – validation and reviews: SLA amendments is currently under development. Further, the CSC was informed that the (re-)appointment process of some of the members and liaisons on the CSC because of the end of term is well underway. BACKGROUND Generally, the CSC regular meeting is scheduled on or around the 15th every month, and the CSC findings report on the PTI performance is sent out shortly after that meeting. 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.

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.

Re: [ALAC] [GTLD-WG] [CPWG] Draft comment on the Fundamental Bylaw change.

Evan, inclusion of the non-ccNSO ccTLDs was an integral (and by some deemed critical) part of the IANA Stewardship transition process, and since IANA serves non-ccNSO ccTLDs, it was felt important that they too can participate in any review. I do not believe that it is within our (ICANN's) mandate to re-litigate this and change the overall intent. Or at least, that is my understanding. For the record, currently 17 2ccTLDs out of 249 defined ccTLD are members and the list has been growing at about 5 per year over the last 5 years. Alan At 25/07/2019 01:35 AM, Evan Leibovitch wrote: I understand the problem to be solved but don't like the wording of the replacement. Why should non-ccNSO-member ccTLD managers even be eligible? There is precious little incentive for ccTLD registries to have anything to do with ICANN. Eligibility for selection here ought to be part of such incentive. They should just change "Two" to "Three" in 18.7(a) and drop 18.7(b) entirely. No other rewording is needed. - Evan On Wed, 24 Jul 2019 at 18:18, Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg(a)mcgill.ca<mailto:alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca> > wrote: I was asked to draft the comment for the ALAC's response to the Public Comment on the Fundamental Bylaw Change ( https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=111384218 ).

Hi Roberto and Alan, Thanks for the explanations. I understand and withdraw my objection. I'll even overlook the weird math in Alan's description of ccNSO growth :-). - Evan On Thu, 25 Jul 2019 at 13:22, Roberto Gaetano <roberto_gaetano(a)hotmail.com> wrote: > Evan, > I have some sympathy for your argumentation, but am nevertheless in favour > of the proposed formulation for a few reasons that I will try to detail > below. > I think that ICANN has won the ccNSO battle.
