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, SSAC 088 was received on 12 December 2016 (UTC). As a result, the Council nor the Wg EPSRP did have time to digest this response and understand its implications. Council decided not to take decision at its 15 December meeting, but asked the WG EPSRP to: - Review SSAC 088 and provide us a with a brief analysis and points to take into consideration - Review the WGs Final report and update it if considered necessary and appropriate The WG accepted these tasks and submitted its analysis and updated report to the Council. 6) Organizational review ccNSO and timeline. For discussion - To move forward, the ccNSO members elected Councillors are requested to nominate one member on a regional basis (one per region). The NomCom appointed Councillors are requested to nominate a (former) NomCom appointed Councillor. - Once the (former) Council members have been selected the secretariat will organize a webinar before the next Council call (February 2017). Purpose of the call is to explain scope of the review, the process itself, anticipated roles of the Council and working party and Independent Reviewer. 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. As discussed at its 15 December meeting the ccNSO Council at one point members of Council will need to meet with the OEC and the Council will need to send out a call for volunteers to appoint a “working party”. As also discussed and agreed on 15 December, the “working party” should consist of one Council member from every region, one (former) NomCom appointed Council member, and one ccTLD from every region. Based on latest conversation with relevant ICANN staff, it is anticipated that the actual review will start at its earliest in July 2017. - To move forward, the ccNSO members elected Councillors are requested to nominate one member on a regional basis (one per region). The NomCom appointed Councillors are requested to nominate a (former) NomCom appointed Councillor. - Once the (former) Council members have been selected the secretariat will organize a webinar before the next Council call (February 2017).
