Dear all, The ccNSO Tech Working Group is now looking for volunteers to join the group. The Working Group is working on a broad range of issues: It is in charge of organising the Tech Days during the ICANN meetings; it is liaising with IANA and the IETF; it is documenting ccTLD technical and operational and solutions and is also working towards publishing a handbook for ccTLDs with potentially appropriate examples for adoption by ccTLDs. The working group has occasional telephone (or VoIP) conferences and face-to-face meetings at every ICANN meeting. A detailed description of the activities can be found in the Working Group charter at http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/tech-wg-charter-28oct09-en.pdf More information about the working group can be found at http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/techwg.htm Should you wish to join the Tech Working Group, please let me know by the 3 March 2010. You don¹t need to be a ccNSO member to join. A second language and a (strong) technical background would be helpful. Any interested candidate who attends the Nairobi meeting is welcome to join the Working Group face-to-face meeting. Kind regards, Gabi

by Bart Boswinkel Feb. 24, 2010

Feb. 24, 2010

Dear all, As you may recall ITEMS International is currently conducting the ccNSO review. As part of that process they would appreciate an interview with individual council members. Members of staff of ITEMS International will be attending the Nairobi meeting. Those of you not attending will be requested to conduct an interview by phone. Over the next days ITEMS will approach you to schedule an interview at the Nairobi meeting or by phone. Further, and as you may recall, the reviewers would appreciate if they could conduct an interview with the full Council after your meeting on Wednesday afternoon 10 March. The anticipated duration of that interview would be half an hour. I have included Marco Lorenzoni, who is the ICANN staff person responsible for the ccNSO review. Kind regards, Bart
