by Gabriella Schittek Dec. 3, 2010

Dec. 3, 2010

Dear all, I am very pleased to announce that the ccNSO now has launched its new website: ccnso.icann.org This is only the first step in changing the site – we will constantly work on improving it and in future some technical features will also get implemented. You will notice that he structure of this site differs from the previous site. We hope that it is now more user-friendly and that you will quickly find all material you need. Under “Operations” you will find all work-related documents. Under “Library” a new search tool has been integrated. The “Sharing” page is summarising all kind of resources that might be of use for your registry. Our youtube channel is also featured here, as well as a (new) flickr-stream. It is our hope that you will use this page to share all kind of interesting information with the ccTLD community – from policy or technical resources, to photos. Have a look and get inspired! Finally – a huge thank you to all community members who took their time to share their thoughts and ideas with us, so that we were guided in which direction we should go when developing the site. We hope that this page will make your life easier, but should you have any ideas for improvements – please, let us know! Kind regards, Gabi – on behalf of the ccNSO Secretariat

The other questions are: * What are the current senior staff turnover statistics? * What measures do ICANN use to ensure staff retention, motivation and engagement? * Do different CEOS have statistics of staff turnover, un particular of the first year of their tenure? * What is ICANN¹s stand on the upcoming IGF renewal debate? * ICANN¹s Strategic Plan Process * Geographic names in new gTLDs They have all been forwarded to Diane, who will ensure that Peter, Mike & Rod receive them in time for the meeting. If you have any additional questions you wish to add, please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks! Gabi ------ Forwarded Message From: Annebeth Lange <annebeth.lange(a)uninett.no> Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2010 06:01:36 -0800 To: Gabriella Schittek <gabriella.schittek(a)icann.org> Cc: "ccnso-council(a)icann.org" <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Subject: Re: [ccnso-members] Topics for session with Peter, Mike, Rod Hi Gabi, I know that this is late, but if possible,l I would like to flag an issue I discovered after the Application Guidebook was posted. In DAG 4 it was established at post-delegation process in the "support or non-objection" situations for geographical names. This has been a very important issue for the GAC. The wording in the GAC has been considerably weakened, and I would like to know why. This appears in the AG as follows: In footnote 12, page 2-20 in the redlined version; "It is also possible that a government may withdraw its support for an application at a later time, including after the new gTLD has been delegated, if a registry operator has deviated from the conditions of original support or non-objection". In the Attachment to Module 2, Sample Letter of Government Support, the text has been changed substantially from DAG 4 to AG. DAG 4: "(Government/public authority) further understands that the Registry Agreement provides that ICANN _will comply with_ (my underlining)a legally binding decision in the relevant jurisdiction where there has been a dispute between the (government/public authority) and the applicant". AG: ""(Government/public authority) further understands that the Registry Agreement provides that in the event of a dispute between (government/public authority) and the applicant,l ICANN _may implement_ (my underlining)the order of any court sitting in such jurisdiction in favor of such governmental entity related to the TLD." This text is repeated in the "New gTLD Agreement", Article 7, clause 7.13, which reads: "Government Support. In the event that the TLD was delegated to the Registry Operator pursuant to the consent of a governmental entity to use a geographic name related to the jurisdiction of such governmental entity, the parties agree that, notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, in the event of a dispute between such governmental entity and Registry Operator, ICANN _may implement_ (my underlining again) the order of any court sitting in such jurisdiction in favor of such governmental entity related to the TLD." Of course, English is not my mother tongue, as you know, but in my mind - and what I have always been taught, "will" is much stronger than "may". For me it seems that this change of the text is changing the post-delegation to an issues which ICANN can obey at their discretion. I would like to have an explanation on why this has been done, and which implications will follow. Best regards, Annebeth Annebeth B.
