Informal notes ISTACC call 11 February 2016
by Bart Boswinkel Feb. 12, 2016

Feb. 12, 2016

Dear all, Please find included informal notes from the coordination call on CWG-Stewardship and CCWG Accountability progress to date and next steps. Bart ISTACC - 11 February @20:00 UTC Agenda 1. Update CWG – Stewardship ( implementation progress, Conditionality requirements CCWG) 2. Update CCWG Accountability. Timeline, expectations decision making 3. ccNSO sessions Marrakesh 4. AOB Apologies: Carolina Aguerre Giovanni Seppia 1. Update CWG – Stewardship ( implementation progress, Conditionality requirements CCWG) Lise: Conditionality Requirements. In 3rd Proposal CCWG issues re. Budget and IRP Budget: Last Tuesday special meeting around PTI budget issues. Implementation issues around budget raised by Paul K: Ensure resources PTI for longer term. Can not be included in requirements CWG. -> needs to be taken care of in Implemntation phase IRP: Becky briefed CWG on IRP, no comments from CWG Sidley will do a “quality” check on results. CWG intends to publish their positive findings to Chartering Organisations a few days after the Publication Final Report. To be expected around 22 February. Although not on radar of ccNSO, creates a lot work for others Process Budget overrun: Discussions with ICANN Board and BFC to control costs. Last call other SO?AC chairs present Looking for way to control the cost. Only flagging the issue. Byron: considerable discussion and special meeting at request of ICANN. Chair Board Finance Committee lead the call. Relatively collegial, but interpretation, ICANN uncomfortable with potential total expenditure, which is currently estimated to be 25 million USD. This is well over the 7 million originally “guestimated". ICANN looking for cover/support from SOs and ACs. For upcoming, future work, potentially ICANN may want to make chairs of CCWGs responsible. Item to be further discussed Mathieu: Board and Xavier are desperate to show they do not want the cost take over the discussion. 1. Discussion in CCWG about estmates for implementation and WS 2 2. Suggestion to include in ccNSO SOP WG session in Marrakesh. Giovanni has been approached. Implementation progress Personal view implementation is moving forward as hoped, however concern around SLE. There was supposed to be a meeting between SLE team/DT - A and Expert/ICANN staff Paul K: Surprised no raw data avaialble, nor have had any contact with ICANN expert or staff. Reason why important: to capture all tweeks etc. If there is delay, then it will be very difficult to complete SLE document well before Transition, which is requirement. Question: Has Mark Blanchet given indication of issues. Paul K has received presentation. But unclear what reasons are for not handing data to SLE group. Lise: Asked for raw data. Not share raw data with users. Raw data are emails and hence specifically refer to who send what request. Paul K: on last point: His stafff is very capable of dealing with confidential data. Lise: will try to ensure that meeting will be arranged. 2. CCWG Accountability Extremely busy weeks since early January. Mathieu: Last Tuesday CCWG agreed on open items. So now in process of finalisation. Over week-end lawyers revew, then CCWG needs to sign off. Timing submission and decision making Report to be expected 18 February SO/AC are requested to decide in Marrakesh. Board wants to adopt on Thursday ccNSO Council feed-back: CWG requriements are met. Byron comment on timing. SO/AC were asked to take a decision by Tuesday 8 March, to allow the Board to take a decision on Thursday 10 March. In contact with other SO/AC chairs. Most likely it can not be done on Tuesday. Respective Councils and ACs will meet on Wednesday, after the discussions in the respective groups on Tuesday and Wednesday have been concluded. Expectation is that chairs will inform ICANN not able to squeeze out a day. Effectively doing so may be counter-productive. Mathieu: Very reasonable and sensible approach and supports argument around risk, and to stick with original schedule. Byron: Can you imagine, what would happen if special meeting ccNSO Council meeting on Tuesday? All other SO/AC have that same issue. 3. ccNSO sessions in Marrakesh Byron: Basic Agenda as published on the ccNSO Website. See: http://ccnso.icann.org/meetings/marrakech55/agenda.htm Major overview session on Tuesday. Discussion sessions on Wednesday afternoon. Council meeting: Wednesday afternoon 17.00-18.00 Jordan: Agenda looks good, Jordan offers help 4. AOB No comments

Fellowship and NextGen@ICANN Application Rounds for ICANN56
by Joke Braeken Feb. 11, 2016

Feb. 11, 2016

Dear All, Please find in this email information regarding the Fellowship and NextGen@ICANN Application Rounds for ICANN56 The Fellowship Program The ICANN Fellowship<https://www.icann.org/en/about/participate/fellowships> program seeks participants from developing countries of the world in order to help create a broader base of knowledgeable constituents to engage in the Multistakeholder process and become the new voice of experience in their regions and beyond. Since its creation in 2007, the Fellowship Program has built a strong group of individuals who are actively participating in all of the ICANN communities as well as various Internet Governance entities within the Internet Ecosystem. Their engagement ranges from writing articles and blogs, providing online or in-person public comment in regard to bottom up policy building, engaging in Internet conferences and panel discussions, lifting a pen in working groups, mentoring newcomers, assisting our regional leaders and becoming leaders themselves. Find out more about applying to the Fellowship »<https://www.icann.org/en/about/participate/fellowships> Applications for eligible Fellowship candidates remain open until 19 February 2016 and successful Fellowship candidates will be announced on the ICANN website, 25 March 2016. The fact that ICANN56 will be relocated does not affect the application round. However, an important distinction regarding this round of the Fellowship Program is that only those who have previously participated in at least one ICANN Fellowship can apply. This is due to the new ICANN Meeting Strategy<https://meetings.icann.org/en/future-meeting-strategy> / Meeting B that is specifically focused on policy making and on-going work within ICANN Communities, therefore only those Alumni of the Program who are currently actively engaged in one of the ICANN Multistakeholder Model Communities are eligible to participate. The NextGen@ICANN Program This programme is currently not available for ICANN56 Applications, since it is region-specific. ICANN has suspended the application process, pending the announcement of the new Meeting location. Once the new location is announced, a decision will be made on the status of this Program for ICANN56. The NextGen@ICANN program remains the same for Meeting A, B and C: it is an education and awareness based experience, designed for a smaller, younger, and more region-specific group of participants. Applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 30, live in the region of the meeting, and be engaged in some level of higher education, with focus on Internet related subject matter. Each selected member will deliver a 5-10 minute presentation on a topic relevant to the community. Recent presentation topics include Internet governance, DNS, and the future of the Internet.

Feb. 1, 2016

Dear all, The TLD-OPS Standing Committee held their first telephone conference on 14 January. Please find below, the meeting summary. Kind regards, Kim Carlson Summary TLD-OPS Conference Call #1 The TLD-OPS Standing Committee held its first conference call on Thu Jan 14, 2016. We discussed the following topics: (1) TLD-OPS status. We subscribed three new ccTLDs to the list (Egypt, Algeria, and Barbados) since ICANN54, bringing the number of TLD-OPS members to a total of 170 (142 ASCII, 28 IDNs). We'll be working with the ICANN regional VPs to get more ccTLDs on the list. The current list of subscribers is on the TLD-OPS homepage. (2) TLD-OPS leaflet. We approved the new TLD-OPS leaflet, which provides more information on the added value for ccTLD operators and the way TLD-OPS is being governed. The update is based on the feedback we received from the ICANN regional VPs back at ICANN54 in Dublin. Download the leaflet from the TLD-OPS homepage. (3) Committee members. We welcomed two new member to the TLD-OPS Standing Committee: Ali Hadji Mmadi (.km, Comoros) and Warren Kumari (SSAC Liaison). We continue have a vacancy for a ccTLD representative from the Asia Pacific region. (4) TLD-OPS future directions. We discussed two strategic topics: (i) how to stimulate list members to share security alerts through the TLD-OPS list so that it will used more often, and (ii) if and how it would be beneficial to open up TLD-OPS for gTLDs. We agreed to organize our thoughts on these matters and discuss them with the community in Marrakech. Our next meeting will be a conference call mid February.
