Re: [ccnso-council] transition to a new Chair of the ccNSO
by Lesley Cowley Jan. 23, 2011

Jan. 23, 2011

Dear Fellow Councillors, It is an honour to be proposed for the position of ccNSO Council Chair. Please find below my candidate statement: Some of the Challenges Ahead · 2011 onwards will bring challenges to ICANN, the ICANN model and Internet governance plus significant changes to the DNS market. The scope of the ccNSO should not change, but the environment in which we all operate could become increasingly difficult. The challenge will be ensuring that the ccNSO remains cohesive and continues to be relevant and valuable to ccTLDs, by sharing information, developing understanding and by acting together on relevant issues. · Our current ccNSO Chair has been able to devote considerable time to the role, much more than any successor will be able to. The challenge will be to successfully implement the agreed restructure of the work of the ccNSO Council to enable duties to be shared amongst the new Chair, Vice-Chairs and ccNSO Councillors. The new Chair must be able to count on the Vice Chairs and each and every Councillor, in order to ensure that the ccNSO remains a success. We will also need to organise ourselves effectively, carry out our work efficiently and diligently ensure that we are able to devote sufficient time to the tasks concerned. · The ccNSO already has established relationships with much of the ICANN community and the current Chair has good relationships with the SO/AC Chairs. The challenge will be to retain and enhance those relationships, to develop new relationships and ensure effective communication. The new Chair must also ensure that the ccNSO communicates well, both internally and externally. Why you might not want to vote for me · If you are unwilling or unable to devote the time and energy to play your part in the agreed restructure · If you might be annoyed by someone who is very organised and who likes meetings to start and finish on time · If you would prefer a less opinionated and determined person as Chair · If you would prefer someone who has lots of chairing experience. Why you might want to vote for me I have been a ccTLD manager for many years and have been able to build close working relationships withmany of you and many others in the ICANN community. Having been a ccNSO Councillor since 2007, I have seen first-hand the organisational work that goes into making the Council function and I have worked closely with the ccNSO Council support team. During my time as a Councillor, I have been committed to the work of the ccNSO and have served on the IANA WG and the SoP WG, was Chair of the ccNSO Participation WG and I have been ccNSO Vice Chair since September 2010. In addition I have been involved in numerous ccNSO informal working and drafting groups. I am very happy to respond to your feedback and to answer any questions you may have. Regards, Lesley

GNSO Will be provided later ============ From: Karklins, Janis [mailto:j.karklins@unesco.org] Sent: Monday, 10 January 2011 17:10 To: ceo(a)auda.org.au Subject: Call for help Hi Chris, First of all – Happy and prosperous New Year to you and Jill. Lot of health, other things money buy. As you probably have heard UNESCO, ISOC and OECD is doing joint study on the economic aspects of local content creation and local Internet infrastructure to analyse whether the encouragement of local content creation and development of local Internet infrastructure have impact on the price of access to Internet by local users. For this exercise we need some data which could be provided by ccTLD registries. Type of date for the period of past 10 years we are looking at is: · Number of registered domain names at the end of the year · Price of registration of domain name · Price of local traffic · Price of local hosting · Number of ISPs in the country I think that these questions could be asked by using a small questionnaire which could be send out with your encouragement. The results of the study we are planning to present during the next IGF. Do you think that ccNSO could help me out? Thank you for considering JK
