Hi Peter, No it is not the same webinar. The two webinars on the 11th will be run by the CWG group as a whole to brief people on the content of the final proposal, the webinar on the 12th will be run by the ccNSO representatives to the CWG. This webinar is mainly directed to the ccTLD community and will have a ccTLD focus. I hope this helps.

FW: ICANN53 - Update on the Current Visa Situation
by Byron Holland June 9, 2015

June 9, 2015

Dear Colleagues, Please see below for an update from ICANN on the visa situation for Argentina. Best regards, Byron From: David Olive [mailto:david.olive@icann.org] Sent: June 9, 2015 7:57 AM To: Byron Holland; thomas.schneider(a)bakom.admin.ch; jonathan.robinson(a)ipracon.com; axel.pawlik(a)ripe.net; louie(a)louie.net; patrik(a)frobbit.se; tsinha(a)umd.edu; liman(a)netnod.se; alan.greenberg(a)mcgill.ca; tonyarholmes(a)btinternet.com; Elisa Cooper; gregshatanipc(a)gmail.com; Rafik Dammak; william.drake(a)uzh.ch; rudi.vansnick(a)isoc.be; Michele(a)blacknight.com; kdrazek(a)Verisign.com; gbruen(a)knujon.com; hilaliaziz(a)yahoo.fr; siranush_vardanyan(a)hotmail.com; alberto(a)soto.net.ar; wolf.ludwig(a)comunica-ch.net Cc: Global Leadership; Robert Hoggarth; Duncan Burns; Nick Tomasso; Diane Schroeder Subject: ICANN53 - Update on the Current Visa Situation Dear Community Leaders: As we all prepare for ICANN53, we wanted to provide you with an update on the current visa situation. Obtaining visas for ICANN meeting participants remains a challenge. There are government requirements imposed on us all and these are ever changing. Many are involved in efforts to resolve the issues - the meetings team in suggesting locations, the local host in accepting to host an ICANN meeting, the GAC representative from the country where the meeting is taking place, and Constituency Travel in preparing information. And each time we learn more and prepare as best we can in advance of the ICANN meeting. For Buenos Aires, we have been experiencing a greater than usual number of delays. ICANN staff in the region as well as community travel staff continue to work daily with those Community members who have not yet received their visas. We have reconfirmed recently that communications have been sent to the embassies/consulates regarding their questions. Many individuals have interviews scheduled this week so we hope that we will see most visas issued that have been requested to attend ICANN53. Of the 244 ICANN-funded Community travelers, nine will not be able to obtain a visa, mainly due to embassies in certain countries imposing very stringent visa application processes. Many other Community members -- about 26 -- have confirmed that they are having their interviews with the embassies/consulates this week, so we are waiting for them to confirm soon whether they will be able to attend ICANN53. While we would like to make sure that all Community members wishing to attend the ICANN meeting in person are able to do so, the visa challenges will remain. We are committed to continue our best efforts in cooperation with our local hosts and government representatives to ensure timely visa application processes with as few delays as possible. Finally, we also note that ICANN continues to make sure that remote participation is available for those who are unable for whatever reason to make an ICANN meeting (See ICANN 53 http://meetings.icann.org/remote-participation) Best regards, David David A.

Additional ccNSO policy work in a post CWG/CCWG era.
by Byron Holland June 4, 2015

June 4, 2015

Dear Lise, Jonathan, Mathieu, Leon and Thomas, We are pleased to inform you that the Framework of Interpretation is proceeding to implementation phase following ICANN's acceptance of the final report by the ccNSO. The ccNSO Council is aware of other issues raised by the DRDWG and the FOIWG, which require a formal PDP through the ccNSO as there are no existing policies or guidelines on these specific issues. Examples include the "Retirement of ccTLDs" when removed from the ISO 3166 list, and most critically, the "Appeals Mechanism" on issues of delegation, revocation or retirement of ccTLDs, as referred to in RFC1591, but which has never actualised. While it is not possible or necessary to resolve these issues as part of the immediate priority for the IANA transition, it is critical that they be resolved. To this end, the ccNSO Council suggests that the ccNSO commit to initiate policies on these issues, after implementation of the FOI is completed and within a reasonable timeframe after completion of the IANA Stewardship Transition process. The ccNSO will also advise ICANN its intentions in regard to these policies as part of the transition process. On behalf of the ccNSO Council Byron Holland Chair of the ccNSO Byron Holland, President & CEO Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) Twitter: @cira001<mailto:@cira001> Trends, Commentary, Perspective.
