Dear All, The ccNSO is now looking for members of a (sub)team that will draft the charters for the working groups that will develop policy recommendation on the retirement of the ccTLD and recommendation on review mechanism on decision pertaining to the delegation, transfer, revocation and retirement of ccTLDs. If you are interested to become a member of the drafting team you are kindly requested to submit your applications by Wednesday 14 December 2016, 12:00 (noon) UTC to the ccNSO Secretariat (ccnsosecretariat(a)icann.org<mailto:ccnsosecretariat@icann.org> ) The drafting team(s) will potentially convene by telephone call once every two-weeks. The time commitment is expected to be 2 to 4 hours per meeting (call, reading etc.). The first call is expected to take place in the second week of January 2017. Purpose of Drafting (sub)Team(s) As part of preparing his Issue Report, the Issue Manager for the ccNSO policy Development Processes suggested the ccNSO Council to establish drafting (sub) teams, which will develop the charters for the following working groups under the PDP(s): · Develop the review mechanism of decision pertaining to the delegation, transfer, revocation and retirement of ccTLDs and · Develop recommendations for a policy on the retirement of ccTLDs. The charters should include an overview, description and scope of the issues that need to be addressed through the PDP, and in addition propose working methods and other relevant procedural aspects. The Issue manager has already prepared a first scan of the issues, which was presented at the Hyderabad meeting. This scan can be found at: https://ccnso.icann.org/meetings/hyderabad57/presentation-ccnso-pdp-review-… . In developing the charters, the drafting teams are expected to take into account the documentation suggested below. The draft charters will be included in the Issue Report, which should be available for consideration by the Council at its meeting in Copenhagen (ICANN 58). Membership Participation in the drafting (sub) teams is open to persons related to ccTLDs, independent of membership of the ccNSO. In addition, some experts will be invited by the Issue manager. Members are expected to have at least a basic understanding of the following documents: · RFC 1591 (https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1591.txt ) · The ccNSO Delegation and Redelegation working group Final report on retirement of ccTLDs, 07 march 2011 (http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/drd-wg-retirement-report-07mar11-en.pdf) · The ccNSO Framework of Interpretation working group Final Report, (http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/foi-final-07oct14-en.pdf ) · ISO 3166 standard (http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes) · CWG-Stewardship Final Report, Annex O: ccTLD Appeals Mechanism Background and supporting Findings Sections 1414- 1428, (https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/53779816/FinalTransitionPr… ).

Kind regards, Bart Message from the co-chairs Sent on behalf of the CCWG-Accountability WS2 Co-Chair’s Dear SO/AC Chairs, As you are aware, the newly-adopted ICANN bylaws tasked our Cross Community Working Group to investigate several issues as part of our Work Stream 2 effort. SO/AC Accountability is one of these items. As part of this effort, we have set up a subgroup, responsible for reviewing how each SO and AC is accountable to its designated community, and potentially to global Internet stakeholders as well. The background and progress for this group are described here[docs.google.com]. As part of this effort, the group intends to start by an assessment of the current situation. That’s why we are turning to you to point us to resources and documents used to maintain accountability to your respective designated community, taking into account the particular or specific working modalities of each SO/AC (and any subgroups). We would appreciate if you could provide responses to the attached questions within the next 30 days, so that work on this important item of WS2 can proceed in due course. Responses can be provided to acct-staff(a)icann.org<mailto:acct-staff@icann.org>. Along with the rapporteurs of the SO/AC accountability subgroup, Cheryl Langdon-Orr, Farzaneh Badii and Steve Del Bianco, we thank you in advance and remain available for any clarification that you may need. Best regards, Leon, Thomas & Mathieu

Background CCWG new gTLD Auction Proceeds The CCWG is tasked to develop proposal(s) for consideration by the Chartering Organizations on the mechanism that should be developed in order to allocate the new gTLD Auction Proceeds. As part of this proposal, the CCWG is also expected to consider the scope of fund allocation, due diligence requirements that preserve ICANN’s tax status as well as how to deal with directly related matters such as potential or actual conflicts of interest. The CCWG will NOT make any recommendations or determinations with regards to specific funding decisions (i.e. which specific organizations or projects are to be funded or not). The new gTLD Applicant Guidebook (see https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb) deals with the possible uses of auction funds as follows: “ Possible uses of auction funds include formation of a foundation with a clear mission and a transparent way to allocate funds to projects that are of interest to the greater Internet community, such as grants to support new gTLD applications or registry operators from communities in subsequent gTLD rounds, the creation of an ICANN-administered/community-based fund for specific projects for the benefit of the Internet community, the creation of a registry continuity fund for the protection of registrants (ensuring that funds would be in place to support the operation of a gTLD registry until a successor could be found), or establishment of a security fund to expand use of secure protocols, conduct research, and support standards development organizations in accordance with ICANN's security and stability mission”. Deliverables and Reporting As a first step the CCWG will develop and adopt a work plan and an associated schedule of activity. The CCWG is expected, at a minimum, to publish an Initial Report for public comment followed by a Final Report, which will be submitted to the Chartering Organizations for their consideration.
