Dear all, This is a reminder that the Programme Working Group now is looking for presentations for the ccNSO meeting in Buenos Aires. In particular, we are looking for presentations suitable for our traditional ccTLD News session, but we are also seeking contributions to a session on "the ccTLD Market Landscape: trends, changes, challenges". If you think you could contribute to any of these sessions, please, fill in this form: Exact title of presentation: Name of presenter: Short summary of presentation (2-3 sentences): Estimated time needed: This information is crucial for our Programme Working Group, in order to be able to plan the sessions. The summary will also be published online prior to the meeting, so that all participants can read and know what to expect. Depending on the amount of proposals, the Programme Working Group can¹t always guarantee a slot to all volunteers, but will have to make a selection. The summary will also be helpful in this selection process. The deadline for contributions has been extended - please, can I have your suggestions by Thursday, 30 April. Kind regards, Gabi

Second-class councillors
by Nigel Roberts April 23, 2015

April 23, 2015

I am reluctiant to imitate too much the ccNSO's inconvenient conscience; nontheless, asking "through the Chair" . . . . . . it very recently has come to my attention that there appear to be two classes of Councillors in the ccNSO .. That is, there appears to be a difference in the rights, obligations and privileges of those Councillors seated by the NomCom (i.e. from outside the ccTLD community) and those of us, like me, who are elected from within the community. In particular, I understand that NomCom appointed councillors are not permitted to be subscribed to the general mailing lists, and I am not sure what other differences there may be. My understanding of the by-laws is that Supporting Organisations' Council Members serve in an individual capacity once seated, and must serve the interests of both their SO, and (while not subject to the fiduciary duties of ICANN Board members) must also serve the Corporation and the wider public, multi-stake holder, interest. In other words, once appointed, Councillors are equal. I have not yet found anywhere in the by-laws which might support differentials, but this may, (as is often the case) be due to my haste in reading. Perhaps someone could assist me in this, please?
