Draft Statement to the CCWG 3rd Proposal
by Byron Holland Jan. 7, 2016

Jan. 7, 2016

Dear Colleagues, As per our December 23rd discussion regarding our feedback to the CCWG 3rd proposal, please see the attached for our proposed statement. For your convenience I have also pasted it below. I would like to send this to the CCWG on Monday. If there are any suggestions or concerns, please provide your feedback asap. Happy New Year, Byron Draft Statement on the 3rd Draft Proposal of the Cross Community Working Group Accountability (CCWG Accountability) The ccNSO Council fully appreciates the exemplary, long and intensive efforts the CCWG-Accountability has undertaken to deliver the 3rd Proposal to the ccNSO as one of the chartering organizations and wholeheartedly thanks all members and participants of the CWG-Accountability for their perseverance and hard work. The ccNSO Council wants to draw the attention to the comments made by the CWG-Stewardship, and its assessment that the 3rd Proposal does not fully meet the conditions and requirements of the CWG-Stewardship final transition proposal. Taking into account the support for the substantial elements in the 3rd Proposal by a majority of the ccNSO appointed members of the CCWG, and factoring in the guidance from the Dublin ccNSO meeting as well as the public comments from the ccTLDs and Regional Organisations on the 3rd Proposal, the ccNSO Council provisionally supports the direction of travel of the 3rd Proposal. However, the ccNSO Council strongly recommends that the CCWG-Accountability implement the changes requested by the CWG-Stewardship. In addition, the ccNSO Council also notes that based on comments and input from ccTLDs and Regional Organisations, the 3rd CCWG Accountability Proposal may need additional refinement to take into account concerns raised so as to increase the likelihood of adoption of the Final Proposal by all. The ccNSO Council would appreciate hearing from the CCWG Accountability, on whether and to what extent it intends to amend its report and the associated timeline for such amendments.

ICANN Announcement: Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team Seated
by Kimberly Carlson Jan. 4, 2016

Jan. 4, 2016

Dear all, Please find below the ICANN Announcement from 23 December. Kind regards, Kim Carlson Date: 23 December 2015 Full Announcement can be found here: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-12-23-en ICANN today announced that 17 individuals have been selected to serve on the team that will review the New gTLD Program in relation to competition, consumer trust and consumer choice (CCT). Review team members represent an array of geographic regions and areas of expertise, and have demonstrated knowledge of the New gTLD Program or one of the review areas. Six review team members were endorsed by the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) and two were endorsed by the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC). Four members will serve as independent experts and bring deep knowledge of economics, consumer protection and intellectual property law, and Internet security to the team. Of the remaining five team members, two also belong to the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO), two from the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), and one represents ICANN's CEO. In accordance with ICANN's Affirmation of Commitments, CCT review team members were selected by ICANN CEO Fadi Chehadé and GAC Chair Thomas Schneider. The pair made their selections based on rigorous analysis of application materials from 72 candidates. Applications were evaluated against the criteria outlined in the call for volunteers with a particular focus on candidates' expertise in competition, consumer trust and consumer choice. Endorsements and guidance from the GNSO and ALAC were also taken into consideration. Chehadé and Schneider chose candidates representing a cross-section of experience and geographic diversity. The Affirmation of Commitments also allows the CEO and GAC chair to serve on the review team or designate representatives. Chehadé will be represented by ICANN's Jamie Hedlund, and Schneider by Laureen Kapin [PDF, 89 KB], of the GAC Public Safety Working Group and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The CCT review team is expected to convene for its first meeting in January 2016 and to complete a final draft of its report by December 2016. Periodic updates on the progress of the review will be made available on icann.org and at ICANN public meetings.
