Dear all, ICANN is organising an event in Durban where all community members are invited to help building a five-year strategic plan. Please, see below for more information. Kind regards, Gabi From: Denise Michel <denise.michel(a)icann.org> Subject: Creating a New ICANN 5-Year Strategic Plan - Durban Monday 11:00 - 12:30 We are organizing a special community event in Durban on Monday, 15 July from 11:00 - 12:30 to help build ICANN's new, overarching vision and five-year strategic plan. Xplane, professional facilitators who have worked with the ICANN Board, staff and some community groups, will help us run a cross-constituency brainstorming and discussion session to yield focused input for ICANN's new strategic plan. This session also should help prompt more strategic conversations during our week in Durban and beyond. Building on previous discussions <https://myicann.org/join-strategy-conversation?language=en> about how to help prepare ICANN for an increasingly complex world, this session will solicit input on eight key areas of consideration for the new strategic plan: role clarity; community; users; internationalization and regional development; Internet governance; security and stability; operational excellence; and domain name industry engagement. Regards, Denise Denise Michel VP Strategic Initiatives & Advisor to the President ICANN denise.michel(a)icann.org

Dear Councillors, Below is a call for volunteers to a GNSO Drafting Team, which was passed on to the Triage Team for consideration. The outcome was not to do anything. If you object to this recommendation, please, let me know by the end of Tuesday, 25 June. Thanks! Gabi ==== Topic: Call for Volunteers: Drafting Team to Develop Charter for PDP Working Group on the Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information http://gnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-19jun13-en.htm Originator: GNSO Summary of request: At its meeting on 13 June 2013, the GNSO Council initiated a Policy Development Process (PDP) on the translation and transliteration of contact information. (See https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+13+June+2013 <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+13+June+201 3> ) Accordingly a group of volunteers will now be convened to draft the charter for the PDP Working Group, which is to be approved by the GNSO Council. The Drafting Team will be tasked with developing a charter for the PDP Working Group on the translation and transliteration of contact information. The WG is expected to address the following issues: 1. Whether it is desirable to translate contact information to a single common language or transliterate contact information to a single common script. 2. Who should decide who should bear the burden translating contact information to a single common language or transliterating contact information to a single common script. These issues arise from recommendations in the Final Report provided by the Internationalized Registration Data Working Group (IRD-WG), see http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/ird/final-report-ird-wg-07may12-en.pdf <http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/ird/final-report-ird-wg-07may12-en.pdf> . Further background on the issues and related questions is described below. In addition, the Charter should include, at a minimum, the following elements as specified in the GNSO Working Group Guidelines (http://gnso.icann.org/council/summary-gnso-wg-guidelines-06apr11-en.pdf <http://gnso.icann.org/council/summary-gnso-wg-guidelines-06apr11-en.pdf> ): Working Group identification; Mission; Purpose and Deliverables; Formation, Staffing and Organization; and Rules of Engagement. The proposed Charter will be submitted to the GNSO Council for its consideration and approval.

Notice on Voting IDN ccPDP
by Bart Boswinkel June 12, 2013

June 12, 2013

Dear all, The voting on the ccNSO Council Recommendation closed yesterday (Tuesday 11 June 2013) at 23.59 UTC. At the time the voting started 136 ccTLD managers were member of the ccNSO and eligible to vote. To employ the results of the voting at least 50% of the members should have lodged their vote. In total 65 votes were cast, therefore we are 3 votes short. Therefore the votes of this round will NOT be employed. The ccNSO membership shall now have the opportunity to vote in a second, final round of voting. According to the Annex C section 13 of the ICANN Bylaws, this second round of voting will be conducted at least thirty days after this notice. You will be informed on the timeline etc. for the next round over the next days. The secretariat observed that the contact details of some of the members were not up to date. Only the representative of the ccTLD manager will receive a ballot for electronic voting at the email address submitted to the secretariat for that purpose. During the voting process some members noted that the this email address was not correct anymore and we were able to update them. The secretariat would appreciate if you could check whether your contact details relating to the ccNSO are still up to date. Please note they are not the same as those in the IANA root zone database. Finally, and on behalf of the secretariat, I wholeheartedly want to thank all members who took the effort to vote. Kind regards, Bart
