Minutes and Actions ccNSO CouncilTelephone Conference 8 May 2012 1.1 Minutes 1.2 Actions Minutes and actions: http://www.ccnso.icann.org/node/31443 2. Updates 2.1 Chair 2.2 Vice-Chairs 2.3 Councillors Roelof Meijer: On the day of our previous call, 8 May, we received an application for ccNSO membership from .is, Iceland’s ccTLD. Membership was granted on 17 May, Iceland is member #131 On 18 May, we received an application from .km, the Comores’ cc. .km became member #132 on 30 May. On 3 June, we received an application from .bh, Bahrain’s ccTLD. Some corrections in the application were necessary and at this moment, we are waiting for IANA’s “all clear”. 2.4 Observers 2.5 ccNSO Support Staff 3. Letter Elise Gerich See attachment 1 Protection alpha two letter country codes (confusing similarity) 4. Letter ccNSO Council to Board Public Participation Committee on Public Comment Process 5. Working Group and Other Updates 5.1 Finance Working Group (Byron Holland) 5.2 SOP Working Group (Roelof Meijer) Some members (among whom myself) attended the FY13 Ops Plan&Budget conference call organised by Xavier Calvez on 9 May. The formal closing date of the comments period being 24 May, it was clear that we were not going to have our comments ready in time. We decided to submit a “placeholder” in which we would comment on the procedures followed so far, in particular: • Planning cycle • Additional briefing scheduling issue, clarification • General Procedural issue: as result of new public comment process ( breaking up timeframe in comment and response period, submission of SO coordinated comments during public comment period is not feasible anymore, (effectively time is reduced from 42 days to 24 days, including week-ends and public holidays) The placeholder was submitted on 24 May. In the meantime, the four SOP WG teams started the work of compiling their draft comments. Participation from the SOP WG members regrettably was disappointedly low, only a handful of members submitted comments and/or reacted to drafts. One team did not react at all. Clearly something I will bring up in our F2F meeting in Prague. We are slightly behind schedule as a result and will submit the SOP WG comments on the FY13 Ops Plan&Budget one day later than planned: 7 June. 5.3 Framework of Interpretation Working Group (Keith Davidson) 5.4 Joint ccNSO/GNSO IDN Working Group (JIG) (Jian Zhang) 5.5 Joint Security & Stability Working Group (DSSA) (Bart Boswinkel) 5.6 Study Group on Use of Names for Countries and Territories (Young Eum Lee) 5.7 Meetings Programme Working Group (Vika Mpisane) 5.8 IDN WG 1 (Bart Boswinkel) 5.9 IDN WG 2 (Hiro Hotta) WG had conf. call on May 24. We discussed how the output from WG was to be described, considering the fact that more members of the WG had become support "one vote per member", not "one vote per territory". Since few WG member participated in the call, we will discuss further in the coming call on June 12. 5.10 Informal Study Group on Capacity Building (Fernando Espana) 5.11 Tech Working Group We are working on the briefing paper /on Tech day/ and should have it ready for Prague. 5.12 Public Comment Requests (Vika Mpisane, Keith Davidson) - material on alert list, need for action?
