ccNSO Application for Membership (.vn)
by Roelof Meijer Nov. 14, 2013

Nov. 14, 2013

Dear fellow councilors, We have received another application for ccNSO membership, this time from .vn, the ccTLD of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The application has been filed by Hoang Minh Cuong, representing the cc's manager, the Ministry of Information and Communications of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. As you can see from IANA's response below, there are no outstanding issues with .vn. Please let me know if you have any objections to .vn's membership before Wednesday 20 November, so that -if all is well- we can approve the application and welcome .vn as member 143 during our council meeting in Buenos Aires.

A update on ICANN Academy WG Activities
by Hong Xue Nov. 11, 2013

Nov. 11, 2013

Dear All, The first Pilot Leadership Training Program will take place in Buenos Aires. The final program is attached. The interest of most AS/SO was remarkable. Overall there are around 25 participants. In order to accommodate as many participants as possible, no additional trainers are assigned. Instead experienced participants will facilitate a session on a topic they have an expertise on. The regularly scheduled ICANN Academy Working Group meeting will serve as the feedback session from participants. This session will be utmost important in terms of reviewing and deciding if and how to move forward with this pilot program. I have to attend the ICANN Academy WG meeting on Wednesday, 20 Nov. 2013 , from 9 – 10.30 in Room Atalya. http://buenosaires48.icann.org/en/schedule/wed-academy. Apologies, I cannot join the ccNSO meeting at the same time. Best, Hong -- Professor Dr. Hong Xue Director of Institute for the Internet Policy & Law (IIPL) Beijing Normal University http://www.iipl.org.cn/ 19 Xin Jie Kou Wai Street Beijing 100875 China

DECISION NEEDED: (Triage 17-2013) ATRT 2 Recommendations
by Gabriella Schittek Nov. 9, 2013

Nov. 9, 2013

Dear Councillors, As you may know, the ATRT 2 has published a report + has listed a number of recommendations, which they wish to receive input to by 22 November 2013. Whilst it is an important document, it is also massive and the recommendations many - and the time frame to reply to it is very short. The Triage group has therefore been thinking of how to most efficiently gather input from the Council and community and is suggesting following: 1) Extract those topics that are of interest to the ccTLDs 2) Get Councillors to volunteer to focus and take the lead on one of the topics during this week - their role would be to coordinate questions/remarks. 3) Make a call for Volunteers from the community to prepare input (which can be questions and/or comments posted by email either before the Buenos Aires Meeting, or during the Buenos Aires Meeting - we have scheduled a session with the ATRT 2 team on Tuesday afternoon) To point 1 - The topics have already been extracted: * Section/recomendation 1-3 on quality of the Board * Section/Recommendation 4: mechanism for SO/AC consultation on executive and administrative issues to be addressed at Board level * Section/Recommendation 7: explore mechanisms to improve public comment through adjusted time allotments * Section/Recommendation 8: capacity of language services to increase participation * Section/Recommendation 9, and it sub recommendations ( consideration of decision-making inputs and appeal processes * Section/Recommendation 11: effectiveness of Review Process and its sub-recomendations * Section/Recommendation 12: Financial Accountability and Transparency * Section /recommendation 10: Although focused on GNSO PDP may have some impact on ccNSO. Please, let me know if you agree on this way forward by the end of Friday, 1 November - AND - if you agree - which topic you could take the lead on! Thanks! Gabi Originator: ATRT 2 Summary of request: The ATRT 2 is requesting the community to deliver input to their Draft Report and Recommendations (see http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-2-21oct13-en.htm) covering a broad range of issues. Date received: 22 October 2013 Last day for Comments/input/response, if any: 22 November 2013 Recommended action, if any: Extract relevant topics; ask Councillors to take lead on one topic each, involve Community in providing feedback to the ATRT on the different sets of recommendations of interest either per email or during meeting in Buenos Aires. Executive summary sections, which are of interest to the ccNSO and need to be covered: * Section/recomendation 1-3 on quality of the Board * Section/Recommendation 4: mechanism for SO/AC consultation on executive and administrative issues to be addressed at Board level * Section/Recommendation 7: explore mechanisms to improve public comment through adjusted time allotments * Section/Recommendation 8: capacity of language services to increase participation * Section/Recommendation 9, and it sub recommendations ( consideration of decision-making inputs and appeal processes * Section/Recommendation 11: effectiveness of Review Process and its sub-recomendations * Section/Recommendation 12: Financial Accountability and Transparency * Section /recommendation 10: Although focused on GNSO PDP may have some impact on ccNSO.
