Sept. 19, 2012

Dear ccNSO Members, The ccNSO is to appoint a ccNSO representative to the Nominating Committee, which is in charge of selecting people for leadership positions within ICANN. Jian Zhang (APTLD manager) has served in this position for one year and is eligible for re-election. Jian has declared herself willing to serve for another year. However, should anyone else from the community be interested in this position, please, let me know by Friday, 7 September at the latest. If we have more than one candidate, the ccNSO Council will make a selection. See below for more information and criteria that need to be fulfilled to serve in this position. Kind regards, Gabi == Specific criteria for selecting a delegate to the NomCom is provided in Article VII, Section 4 of ICANN’s Bylaws (http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#VII) * “Section 4. CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF NOMINATING COMMITTEE DELEGATES Delegates to the ICANN Nominating Committee shall be: 1. Accomplished persons of integrity, objectivity, and intelligence, with reputations for sound judgment and open minds, and with experience and competence with collegial large group decision-making; 2. Persons with wide contacts, broad experience in the Internet community, and a commitment to the success of ICANN; 3. Persons whom the selecting body is confident will consult widely and accept input in carrying out their responsibilities; 4.

Note that the committee's workload will increase significantly during Apr/May/June 2013 when the candidate assessment process will be at its busiest. Conference call are held more frequently (typically weekly) during this time as well. * The person must be able to attend the NomCom selection meeting in late June 2013. * The person should be willing to work in a large, consensus-oriented committee.

by Lesley Cowley Sept. 6, 2012

Sept. 6, 2012

Hi, I regret to advise that Juhani has tendered his resignation from the Council, as his other commitments have been making it increasing difficult for him to contribute to our work. Juhani has been a European Region Council Member since 2008 and I would like to express my sincere thanks for his service and support over the four years. I hope that we will all have the opportunity to say a formal thank you in Toronto. In the meantime, the Secretariat will advise on the process for a replacement in due course. Kind Regards, Lesley Lesley Cowley, OBE CEO Nominet Minerva House Edmund Halley Road Oxford Science Park Oxford, OX4 4DQ UK Tel: +44-(0)-1865-332211 http://www.nominet.org.uk/

Sept. 3, 2012

Dear all, Please find included the draft ccNSO Council feedback and input on the ICANN Draft Statement of its role in Security, Stability, and Resiliency of the Internet’s Unique Identifier Systems. ICANN’s draft Statement was suggested by the SSRT (recommendation 1 and 3). The Security, Stability and Rsiliency review is part of ICANN’s commitments under the Affirmation of Commitments. The drafting team has just finished its work. At today’s call the draft will be introduced and explained. Council members are requested to provide feed-back and input on the draft this week ( until Thursday 30 August). Becky and I will consolidate the comments, if any, so it can be submitted by Friday 31 August. Please note that the Council initially intended this to be a ccNSO Statement. However due to time constraints consultation of the community is not feasible. As a result it is now submitted as a draft ccNSO Council Statement as foreseen in the guideline on ccNSO Statements and Position Papers (Section 3). Kind regards, Bart
