by Gabriella Schittek June 18, 2009

June 18, 2009

Dear all, The ccNSO Council decided during its meeting in Mexico City to form a Working Group on Delegation and Redelegation issues (http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/council-minutes-04mar09.pdf, see 11.3, page 8). The Working Group is to advise the ccNSO Council whether it should launch a policy development process to recommend changes to the current policy for delegation, re-delegation and retirement of ccTLDs. The ccNSO is now looking for participants to this Working Group. According to the Working Group Charter (available at http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/draft-charter-wg-delegation-redelegati…) the Working Group is to be comprised by two ccTLD managers from each of the five ICANN geographic regions, the chair and vice chairs of the ccNSO and one of the Nomination Committee representatives to the ccNSO Council. Should you be interested in joining this Working Group, please let me know by email by Monday. 22nd June 2009 latest. You do not need to be a ccNSO member to become a member of the Working Group. Should there be more than two applicants per region, the ccNSO Council will decide which nominees shall be appointed to the Working Group. Should there be fewer than two ccTLD nominations from a region, the ccNSO Council may fill the vacant position with a nominee from another region. Please, let me know should you have any questions! Kind regards, Gabi / ccNSO Secretariat

by Gabriella Schittek June 16, 2009

June 16, 2009

Dear ccNSO members, In order to make it easier for you to learn to know and contact each other, we have developed a ³Profile page² where we plan to list a short overview of each member registry. The profile page contains following headings: --- Full Name of Registry: Contact details (address, phone, fax, general enquiries): Founding date: Registration Model (Registry/Registrar system; Direct registrations; Both): Number of domain names: History: --- We would be very grateful if you could help us filling in this short form with the details of your registry. Filling in the form is not compulsory and you can also exclude details you do not wish to share. However, the more registries that reply and the more information we can collect, the more valuable this profile page will be for all of us! The profiles will be posted at http://ccnso.icann.org/about/members.htm Should you at some point wish to update your data, you only need to notify us about the changes. The .uk registry Nominet kindly agreed to fill in the first profile page, which you can have a look at to get some orientation on how you could reply: http://ccnso.icann.org/about/member-profiles/uk.htm I hope that you also find this initiative valuable and am looking forward to receiving your profiles. Kind regards, Gabi

If you are not the intended recipient, you must not use, disclose or copy any part of this email. If you have received this email by mistake, please notify the sender and delete this message immediately. Please consider the environment before printing this email. The ACSO session will have as its focus the following topic: Institutional Improvements The roles and responsibilities of ACs, SOs, Policy Staff and Board in ICANN's processes: current situation and possible evolutions This topic will be explored within the current context of where ICANN is an organization, particularly: current practices and their contribution to transparency and accountability; ongoing independent reviews of the ACs and SOs and the subsequent reorganizations; the Improving Institutional Confidence (IIC) consultation that followed the midterm review of ICANN's Joint Project Agreement (JPA) with the US government; and the current review of the JPA that is underway. The Chairs of each of the ACs and SOs would like to note that discussing the current systems in place does NOT imply any implicit criticism of either the community or the staff. The aim of the discussion it to identify areas of improvement. Instead, the Sydney meeting provides a unique opportunity to take at look at some of the practical aspects of ICANN's continuing internal effort to improve institution confidence. Current community topics that the conversation is expected to touch upon include: * The ongoing independent reviews of the different parts of the ICANN model * The Improving Institutional Confidence consultation and recommendations * The conclusion of the Joint Project Agreement with the US government in September Specific questions that will be explored include: 1. Roles and responsibilities of the ACs, SOs and Policy staff: a. What should these roles be? b. What is the right balance between volunteer activity and policy staff activity? c. Is the current balance correct or should it be altered? d. Does the current balance lead to volunteer exhaustion? e. Would shifting the balance diminish the degree of private bottom-up policy making? 2. Policy staff as Board intermediary: a. Should all communications between the SOs be moderated by Policy staff? b. Should there be direct communication between the Councils and the Board? 3. Board communication with Advisory Committees: a. Should all ACs have the same rights in terms of recommendations and response by the Board to their issues? 4. Transparency of communications: a. Should staff communications to the Board be confidential? b. Should communications regarding AC or SO activities be confidential? c. Which other communications need to remain confidential? d. What would be the effect of making most communications between staff and the Board open to community review?
