Dear Councillors, As you know, on 15 December at 11:00 UTC we will have our call. As I just discovered during our discussion with the Secretariat, I made a huge mistake that involved an atempt to put UTC scheduling, summer time and time zone change into one equation. On Thursday I am travelling and according to my calculations everything was supposed to work out very smoothly, i.e., I was supposed to be on the call in due time. Unfortunately, as it turned out, at 11:00 UTC I will be on a plane, still in the air feeling very sorry for this mess!!! There are two options: Option 1: would it work for you to re-schedule the call from 11:00 UTC to our other slot at 19:UTC? I know this does not work for our AP colleagues but maybe we could do it this time... Option 2: if we cannot agree on another slot, may I ask Byron or Demi to take the call?

The call for volunteers will close 14 December 2016. For decision 5) Volunteers Ethos Award committee For information and discussion Following the successful efforts carried out in London, Buenos Aires and Helsinki and the positive feedback received from the selection panels, ICANN reaffirms that the award will be an annual award to be presented during the welcome reception of the Policy Forums. To achieve the goal of presenting the award at ICANN 59, ICANN will announce the opening of the recipient nomination period in a couple of weeks. That nomination period will run through the 20th of March 2017 for nominations to be submitted from the full ICANN community. In the meantime, until 13 January 2017 ICANN request the ccNSO Council to identify interested ccTLD community members who together with members from other communities will help select the recipient(s) of the award. Following the framework used for the previous awards, ICANN requests to name up to two people as member of the selection panel. Further, moving forward panelists could serve a maximum of two consecutive terms on the selection panel to ensure diversity and variety of input and equal opportunity among community members to take part in this effort. Substantive Topics 6) Appointment members SSR 2 For decision Process for selection ccNSO appointed members SSR2. Background In ICANN issued a call for volunteers according to the former rules and procedures for reviews under the Affirmation of Commitments. Applicant had to submit their names and supporting documentation including an indication which SO or AC they considered to be associated with. Next, as one of the SO/ACs the ccNSO would confirm this claimed alliance, and the chair of the Board or CEO of ICANN together with Undersecretary of NTIA or chair of the GAC, would select the members on the relevant team. SSR 2 case: ICANN has issued a call for volunteers and received applications using the procedure pre- IANA Stewardship Transition (see: https://community.icann.org/display/SSR/Applications+received) However, as the new bylaws became effective on 1 October 2016 and no transitional arrangement was made, the 1 October 2016 now rules the selection and appointment of members of SSR 2. This implies that the ccNSO Guideline Nominations Special Review teams applies (https://ccnso.icann.org/about/guideline-ccnso-nominations-specific-review-f…) Using this Guideline the ccNSO Council will need to decide: - Whether it intends to be participating in the SSR 2 review. - Consider the Call for expression of interest by ICANN as a call for Expression of Interest ccNSO under the 1 October 2016 and adopted ccNSO Guideline. - If so, nominate and select candidates (up to 7) from the list of applicants, according to the Guideline procedure (section 4 and 5). Included in background material is the list of applicants. 7) Review Practices Council meetings 7.1 Review Council meeting Hyderabad For discussion At the Hyderabad meeting the Meeting format of Prep meeting was changed. This time more time preparing for and discussing substance of the various meeting with other SO/AC s and the Board. Sense of Councillors In addition: at Hyderabad meeting Council passed many administrative resolutions in a record time (45 minutes). At the ssmae time Council goes through the motions of open meeting while effevtively there is no discussion/ room for discussion. Does this need to change and if so how? * Introduce administrative part of agenda (all administrative decision grouped as one and then passed) and substantive part? * Leave it as is? * Other method? 7.2 ccNSO Guideline Council Practices For discussion At this stage the Guideline Review Committee seeks feed-back from Councillors on the draft. The GRC will then update the draft, taking into account the comments from Council, and then seek comments and input from the community. Background material: ccNSO Guideline: ccNSO Practices This proposed guideline, once adopted will replace the ccNSO Council meeting Guideline. 8) Adoption Final report and closure WG EPSRP, submission of Final report to the ICANN Board of Directors For decision: Adoption of the WG EPSRP final report The ICANN Board requested the ccNSO to provide guidance on how to deal with split findings of the Extended Process similarity review panel. The ccNSO created a WG under chairman ship of Giovanni Seppia and invited the GAC and SSAC to participate in any way that they felt to be most appropriate. Individual members of the GAC participated as observers. The WG drafted a set of recommendation to provide guidance, which was published for public comment. As part of the public comment process SSAC initially produced a comment recommending not to adopt the recommendations of the WG. As part of the public comment process ALAC expressed its support and, after closure of the public comment, the GAC send its comment to the ccNSO and ICANN Board of Directors. The GAC supports the recommended course of action. In Hyderabad members of Council and WG EPSRP met with SSAC. As a result of that meeting, SSAC indicated its intention to update their report. This report will be available at its latest on 12 December 2016. If needed the WG EPSRP will update its final report to Council taking into account the SSAC updated report. Closer to the meeting the documents will be circulated. 9) Organizational review of the ccNSO and its timeline. For discussion The chair of the ccNSO had an initial meeting with ICANN staff on the process and schedule of the second organizational review of the ccNSO. Based on these discussions it is anticipated that in January 2017, the ccNSO will need to appoint a “working party” to and needs to engage with the OEC (see below) of the ICANN Board and ICANN staff to discuss the scope, roles and responsibilities, schedule etc. of the second organizational review of the ccNSO. To prepare for these sessions, it is suggested to: - Organize webinar for Councillors interested in the review process, preferably at least one from every region and one (former) NomCom appointed Councillor; - Work under assumption that the working party will include one Councillor and one non-Councillor from every region and at least one (former) NomCom appointed Councillor. - Invite the ccNSO appointed Board members to the conversation with the OEC in January 2017 - Request the Programme WG to include a session during the ccNSO meeting days in Cope Background According to ICANN Bylaws section 4.4 (a) Section 4.4(a), calls for a periodic review “ of the performance and operation of each Supporting Organization, each Supporting Organization Council, ….by an entity or entities independent of the organization under review.” As per the Bylaws, the goal of these reviews shall be “to determine: (i) whether that organization, council or committee has a continuing purpose in the ICANN structure, (ii) (if so, whether any change in structure or operations is desirable to improve its effectiveness and (iii) whether that organization, council or committee is accountable to its constituencies, stakeholder groups, organizations and other stakeholders”. These Organizational Review “shall be conducted no less frequently than every five years, based on feasibility as determined by the Board. Each five-year cycle will be computed from the moment of the reception by the Board of the final report of the relevant review Working Group.” The Organizational Effectiveness Committee of the Board (OEC), previously known as the Structural Improvements Committee (SIC), is engaged in the process from the Board side. It is the understanding that the 2nd ccNSO review will be kicked off in February 2017 to align the milestones with the f-2-f meeting starting at ICANN 58 until ICANN 61/62. For further information see: https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/org For Information on the 1st review see: https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/org/ccnso 10) Updates CSC, EC AC, RZERC 10.1 Update CSC (Byron Holland) 10.2 Update EC AC (Stephen Deerhake) 10.3 Update RZERC (written update Peter Koch included) On 28 November RZERC held its first tele conference, mostly walking through the charter and discussing next steps. These will include a review of past issues that might qualify as "major architectural changes" that would involve RZERC post transition. The committee has not yet elected a chair. The next call is scheduled for late January 2017. 11) WG updates 11.1 Update CCWGs - CCWG Use of country and territory names (written update Annebeth Lange) - CCWG Internet Governance (Young Eum Lee) o Progress change of charter 11.2 Update GRC (Katrina Sataki) 11.3 Update Programme WG (Alejandra Reynoso) o Include update Copenhagen meeting day and summary of discussion High Interest Topic sessions 12) Council Updates 15.1 Chair Update o Leadership training Councilors and chairs of WG 15.2 Vice-Chairs Update 15.3 Councilors Update 15.4 Regional Organizations Update 13) Liaison Updates 13.1 GNSO Update (Patrick Myles). 13.2 ALAC Update (Interim: Maureen Hilyard). 14) Next meetings · December 2016, early January 2017: Informal meeting on ccNSO review (TBC) · 12 January 2017, 19.00 UTC · 9 February 2017, 11 UTC · Tentative 12 March 2017, Workshop and prep meeting f-2-f meeting, Copenhagen ICANN 58, noon local time) · 15 and 16 March (TBC), Council meeting 17.00 Local time 15) AOB 16) Closure

CCWG-Acct (WS 2, SO/AC sub-group) SO/AC Questions on ccNSO Accountability
by Bart Boswinkel Dec. 5, 2016

Dec. 5, 2016

Dear All, The co-chairs of the CCWG-Accountability reached out to the chairs of the SO/AC to seek responses from the SO/AC on a survey compiled by the WS 2 SO/AC Accountability subgroup. The message and survey itself are included. In order to be of assistance to SO/AC Accountability the following process to respond to the questions is suggested: - Katrina in her capacities as chair of the ccNSO and chair of the Guideline Review Committee and with assistance of the secretariat, will draft responses to the survey. - The draft responses will be circulated to Council early next week (most likely Tuesday 29 November) - Councillors are requested to comment, provide additional input by Friday 2 December, noon UTC - Katrina (with assistance of the secretariat) will consolidate comments and prepare final draft version of responses on Friday 2 December. - Email decision by Council by 5 December 2016 17.00 UTC. - Inform the co-chairs. 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
