CCWG co-chair statement on timeline
by Bart Boswinkel Oct. 30, 2015

Oct. 30, 2015

Dear all, Please find included a statement fro the CCWh co-chairs on the anticipated timeline. This statement references to the timeline overview I just send you ( for your convenience it is included again), Kind regards, Bart -------------- Sent on behalf of CCWG-Accountability Co-Chairs: Dear all, As indicated in our Co-Chairs statement published on 22 October, ICANN54 was a turning point for the CCWG-Accountability. Tremendous progress was achieved and we feel energized for the work that lies ahead on the path to delivering our final proposal for your approval. We invite you to refer to our statement for an outline of the milestones we have reached - https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/ICANN54+co-Chairs%27+Stat… Following our intensive and fruitful discussions, we mapped out a work plan towards finalization and elaborated a timeline that attempts to balance various timeline constraints and solidifies the inclusion of a third round of public comment. We are cognizant that our tentative timeline is ambitious but strongly believe it is essential that the process be finalized as soon as possible to enable transmission of a proposal to NTIA. Our current timeframe proposes posting a high-level overview of recommendations and a summary of changes from the 2nd Draft Proposal for a 35-day public comment on 15 November 2015. Alongside the 35-day public comment, the CCWG-Accountability will submit these resources to the Chartering Organizations for initial feedback. The CCWG-Accountability plans to issue a full detailed report, including annexes and in-depth documentation, mid-way into the public comment period for roughly 20 days of consultation. Please note that the submission at end of November would constitute the draft report submission as described in our charter. After synthesis of the comments received, and assuming no major changes, the group currently projects submission of Work Stream 1 Recommendations to the ICANN Board by mid-January 2016. This public comment period was designed with the hopes that Chartering Organizations would be in a position to indicate their approval during the public comment period, allowing for a potential prompt delivery to the ICANN Board. To inform further steps, we would welcome an indication of the timeframe you are contemplating for your approval process as well as any associated requirements there may be. Should a face-to-face intersessional meeting be needed for your process, for instance, please flag this as soon as possible so that the need for arrangements can be communicated to ICANN accordingly. It is an option that can be explored but we would encourage you to use online tools for efficiency purposes. Looking at the schedule, we feel an intersessional event would need to take place early January with the objective of submitting the report to the ICANN Board by mid-January 2016. For planning purposes, we would be very grateful if you could share your input with us by Friday, 30 October. In addition, we have asked ICANN staff to schedule a SO/AC leadership conference call for this week so we may discuss the timeline with you and address any questions you may have. We look forward to our conversation. Rest assured that we are strongly committed to delivering our recommendations as soon as possible and thank you for your collaboration and guidance. Best regards Mathieu, Thomas, León

Oct. 29, 2015

Dear all, This is my last official day with ICANN. I got the chance to say goodbye to many of you in Dublin and I am grateful for that. I am also very grateful for your kind words to me and beautiful gifts. I have had such a great time during the past 6 years serving the ccTLD community, I have learned a lot and I have made friends. Being around so many dedicated people is inspiring. As many of you know by now I will go back to my roots as a social worker and pursue a career in the field if psychotherapy. I will think back fondly of my time with the cc community. I hope to see you again in the future. In case any of you would like to stay in touch my personal email address is kristina.nordstrom(a)gmail.com All the best and sincere thanks, Kristina

Council Volunteer ccNSO Trvavel Funding committee
by Bart Boswinkel Oct. 22, 2015

Oct. 22, 2015

Dear all, As you will know Dotty stepped down from Council at the closure of this Dublin ICANN meeting. As you will also know Dotty is serving on the Travel Funding Committee. In order to avoid a vacancy, in particular in view of the upcoming round of travel funding, Council would need to appoint another Councillor as soon as possible. To make this feasible we kindly request Councillors to put their name forward for this function, preferably by 30 October 2015, either by sending me an email directly or to the list. If there will be more one candidate, Council will be requested to appoint the member through the process that was used for the selection and appointment of the ccNSO representative on the NomCom. The role of the travel funding committee, in particular the role of the committee itself, is described in the travel funding guideline, which can be found at: http://ccnso.icann.org/about/travel-funding. Currently, the other members of the Travel Funding Committee are: Celia (NomCom appointee, and living in NA) and Katrina (EU Region). According to travel funding guideline, members of the travel funding committee should preferably from different Geographic Regions. Kind regards, Bart

FW: New CCWG Timeline
by Byron Holland Oct. 22, 2015

Oct. 22, 2015

Dear Colleagues, My previous email included the Oct 19th presentation. Please see attached for today's Oct 22nd presentation. Best regards, Byron From: Byron Holland <byron.holland(a)cira.ca<mailto:byron.holland@cira.ca>> Date: Thursday 22 October 2015 12:34 To: "ccnso-council(a)icann.org<mailto:ccnso-council@icann.org>" <ccnso-council(a)icann.org<mailto:ccnso-council@icann.org>> Cc: Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel(a)icann.org<mailto:bart.boswinkel@icann.org>> Subject: New CCWG Timeline Dear Colleagues, For your information I have attached a deck from this morning's CCWG meeting, slide 6 of which represents the proposed timeline going forward. I have, however, summarized this below. You will note that this calls for SO/AC approval of the final report between Jan. 7 and Jan. 22, 2016. While the timeline references this January period as being for 'SO/AC Intersessionals', this should not necessarily be presumed to be a large F2F meeting. It was noted in the room that ICANN has indicated that it would facilitate meetings of SO/AC's but that these need not held at the same time, nor that they need to be F2F. CCWG's Proposed Timeline Nov. 15 - Summary Report issued to Chartering Organizations (to be written by a 'professional writer') Nov. 15 to Dec. 21 - 35 day public comment period Nov. 30 - Detailed report issued (15 days into public comment period) Dec. 21 - end of public comment period Dec. 24 - distribution of staff summary (this is presumably of the public summary) Dec. 31 - Deadline for WP Analysis Jan. 7 - Jan. 22 - period for SO/AC intersessional meetings, if necessary Jan. 22 - delivery of final report to ICANN Board

The CENTR report on ICANN54 will be published at the latest on Friday and will contain a much greater depth of information. High level items – GNSO council/related at ICANN54 - Next generation Registration Directory Services (RDS) – At their council meeting, the GNSO formally deferred a motion on the charter stating that complexity as well as high importance of the work meant it requires more time for careful consideration. - Rights protection mechanisms (RPMs): there is a preliminary issue report on possibility to review all existing RPMs (in all gTLDs) and GNSO are deciding how to move forward taking into account parallel activities in (TMCH review, consumer trust and choice review, potential new gTLD subsequent rounds). Public comment hopes to get answers. - New gTLD subsequent rounds – An issue report (ie scoping the issues) has been published with a set of issues to determine if any policy changes are needed in order to accommodation a next round. Although there is a commitment from ICANN for another round, work relies also on a series of ICANN reviews currently underway: program implementation, rights protections, consumer survey, economic study, competition/consumer trust as well as security and stability. Registry Stakeholder group generally keen to see another round soon. - New gTLD auction proceeds – Discussion revolves more on process (how should the work develop) and less on substance on ‘how the funds should be spent. It’s felt a cross community working group might be the result, however some in GNSO suggest a GNSO working group would represent the community better. - Geo-TLD interest group are increasingly formalising their process with discussion on membership and fees. - GNSO formally state their support to the work of the CCWG Accountability. - There were two candidates for GNSO council chair were James Bladel and Heather Forrest, however due to insufficient votes to cross a threshold, the election did not pass and nominations will recommence at a later stage. The GNSO congratulated outgoing chair, Jonathon Robinson.
