Requests REMIMNDER: Input to Establish IRP Standing Panel Executive: John Jeffrey, General Counsel and Secretary

FOR: All SO/AC Chairs

REQUEST ICANN organization needs input on the open questions <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Mc3hAZl5PF_z6IosxOUoxIb6S7-_W_YbKuMCfWzV3Kcak...> regarding how the Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) will coordinate their participation in the process for the selection of a standing panel to preside over ICANN’s Independent Review Process (IRP) proceedings. The questions identified here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Mc3hAZl5PF_z6IosxOUoxIb6S7-_W_YbKuMCfWzV3Kcak...> need to be resolved in order to move forward with the work on establishing a standing panel.

ACTION Please send your input on the open questions <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Mc3hAZl5PF_z6IosxOUoxIb6S7-_W_YbKuMCfWzV3Kcak...> to the public email list: <i <irp-standing-panel@icann.org> rp-standing-panel@icann.org <irp-standing-panel@icann.org>>. For more information, please contact Liz Le at <elizabeth.le@icann.org>.

BACKGROUND The IRP is an accountability mechanism provided by the ICANN Bylaws that allows for third-party review of actions (or inactions) by the ICANN Board or staff that are allegedly in violation of the Bylaws or Articles of Incorporation. The Bylaws provide that an omnibus standing panel shall be established from which panelists shall be selected to preside over specific IRP disputes. The ICANN Bylaws specify that ICANN shall, in consultation with the SOs and ACs, establish the standing panel. The Bylaws requires ICANN, in consultation with the SOs and ACs, to pursue a four-step process to establish the standing panel. As part of the process, the SOs and ACs must collectively agree on one slate of candidates for the standing panel to be submitted to the ICANN Board for approval. REMINDER: Call to Participate in NomCom RIWG Executive: Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President, Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives

FOR: All Community Leaders

REQUEST Following the announcement <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Mc3hAZl5PF_z6IosxOUoxIb6S7-_W_YbKuMCfWzV3Kcak...> on ICANN.org on 25 March, I would like to request you encourage members of your community groups to participate in the Nominating Committee Review Implementation Working Group (NomCom RIWG). Volunteers should send an email to <reviews@icann.org> with the request to join before Wednesday, 17 April 2019.

BACKGROUND On 14 March 2019, the ICANN Board accepted the NomCom Review Final Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Mc3hAZl5PF_z6IosxOUoxIb6S7-_W_YbKuMCfWzV3Kcak...> and the NomCom Review Implementation Planning Team’s Feasibility Assessment and Initial Implementation Plan <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Mc3hAZl5PF_z6IosxOUoxIb6S7-_W_YbKuMCfWzV3Kcak...>. The Board also resolved that “the NomCom Review Implementation Planning Team convene a working group that drafts a detailed implementation plan of the recommendations, as detailed in the FAIIP […]. The working group shall also work with ICANN organization to include expected budgetary implications for each of the implementation steps into its detailed implementation plan.” The Board also directed “the NomCom Review implementation working group to oversee the implementation process, once the Board has accepted the detailed implementation plan.” See the ICANN Board resolution here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Mc3hAZl5PF_z6IosxOUoxIb6S7-_W_YbKuMCfWzV3Kcak...> . REMINDER: Age Diversity Survey Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Advisor to the President and CEO; Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement

FOR: All Community Leaders

REQUEST By Friday, 19 April 2019, all community leaders should please complete an age diversity survey, as well as encourage their respective groups to participate in the community-wide survey, which is available at https://go.icann.org/agesurvey <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Mc3hAZl5PF_z6IosxOUoxIb6S7-_W_YbKuMCfWzV3Kcak...> .

ACTION The survey is designed to determine current perceptions of age diversity in the ICANN community and to identify potential barriers to participation. The purpose of this survey is to inform community discussions on diversity, following calls for additional data on this topic.

We invite all community members to take part. Responses will be anonymous and used in accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Mc3hAZl5PF_z6IosxOUoxIb6S7-_W_YbKuMCfWzV3Kcak...>. The survey is available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.

FOR: All Community Leaders

INFORMATION SHARING Meridian Institute will host a webinar <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Mc3hAZl5PF_z6IosxOUoxIb6S7-_W_YbKuMCfWzV3Kcak...> on the ccNSO Review assessment report: Date: Wednesday, 17 April 2019 Time: 21:00 – 22:00 UTC (local time <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Mc3hAZl5PF_z6IosxOUoxIb6S7-_W_YbKuMCfWzV3Kcak...> ) To participate, please respond to <mssi-secretariat@icann.org> to receive a calendar invite (dial-in details are available here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Mc3hAZl5PF_z6IosxOUoxIb6S7-_W_YbKuMCfWzV3Kcak...> ).

BACKGROUND Meridian Institute, the independent examiner performing the second review of ICANN’s Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO), has published its assessment report for community consultation. Read the report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Mc3hAZl5PF_z6IosxOUoxIb6S7-_W_YbKuMCfWzV3Kcak...> .

The assessment report contains important and valuable findings on how the ccNSO fulfills its purpose, manages its structure and operations, and strives for accountability. Meridian Institute’s overall determination is that:

- The ccNSO has a strong continuing purpose; - There do not seem to be significant needs to make structural or operational changes; - The ccNSO is accountable to its constituencies, including its members.

The goal of the assessment report is to achieve agreement between the wider ICANN community and the independent examiner as to which areas of the ccNSO work well and which may benefit from improvements. Recommendations for continuous improvement based on the findings will be presented in the draft final report, expected to be published for public comment in June 2019.

Your comments are encouraged and can be sent to <reviews@icann.org> until 23:59 UTC on Friday, 26 April 2019. All comments will be publicly archived. REMINDER: CROP Deadline for ICANN65 Executive: David Olive, Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support

ICANN65 Planning NEW: Meet with the ATRT3 Team Executive: Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President, Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives

FOR: All SO/AC Chairs

INFORMATION SHARING The third Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) will meet in Marrakech to advance its work. As some of the team will be in Marrakech we would like to ask for a 30 to 40-minute slot on your community group's agenda, if possible.

Community input is key to the success of this process. If you are able to accommodate us on your agenda, please send us an email to < atrt3-coordination@icann.org> to let us know a day and time that would suit. We will send you a preliminary set of questions ahead of the meeting to aid the discussion. We also welcome any questions you wish to raise in advance.

Our goal for Marrakech is to: - Socialize our terms of reference and scope; - Conduct investigation of identified objectives - Seek input from the community to help us shape our findings and draft recommendations.

BACKGROUND The ATRT review is mandated by ICANN Bylaws Section 4.6 (b) to examine ICANN’s execution of its commitment to maintain and improve robust mechanisms for public input, accountability, and transparency so as to ensure that the outcomes of its decision-making reflect the public interest and are accountable to the Internet community.

Prior to meeting in Marrakech, the review team met on 3-5 April in Los Angeles for its first substantive meeting to develop our terms of reference and workplan, in response to the Board Resolution (2018.10.25.15) requesting that “ATRT3 adopt its Terms of Reference and Work Plan within 60 days of convening its first meeting, and submit these documents to the Board and to the leadership of the Supporting Organizations and the Advisory Committees, to confirm that the team's scope and timeline are consistent with the requirements of the ICANN Bylaws and ICANN community expectations.”

We look forward to hearing from you.
