FW: [soac-chairs] SOAC Chairs Statement on status of SSR2 Review
by Katrina Sataki Dec. 22, 2017

Dec. 22, 2017

Dear Colleagues, Here is a statement on the status of SSR2 review by SOAC Chairs. As you know, according to the Bylaws, the Board initiates reviews and SOAC Chairs are the ones who appoint review team members but it is not clear what role the Board and SOAC Chairs play (if any) if something goes wrong. We are sailing uncharted waters here and the chairs tried to do their best to address the issue but it is difficult to carry out proper consultations with the community in such a short period (and when the house is on fire). Apparently we will have to discuss the proper and most efficient ways of dealing with situations like this within the Council and with the community. Kind regards, ]{atrina -----Original Message----- From: soac-chairs [mailto:soac-chairs-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Patrik Fältström Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2017 11:15 PM To: SSR2 <ssr2-review(a)icann.org> Cc: Larisa Gurnick <larisa.gurnick(a)icann.org>; SOAC Chairs <soac-chairs(a)icann.org>; ICANN Board <icann-board(a)icann.org>; Theresa Swinehart <theresa.swinehart(a)icann.org> Subject: [soac-chairs] SOAC Chairs Statement on status of SSR2 Review All, See attached for a statement from the SO/AC Chairs.

SSR2-RT update
by Katrina Sataki Dec. 18, 2017

Dec. 18, 2017

Dear Colleagues, More update on the recent developments around SSR2-RT. The SO/AC chairs launched a survey in order to gather feedback from SSR2-RT members. After analysing the feedback, it was proposed to cancel the f2f meeting previously scheduled mid-January. I reached out to our appointed menmbers to the review team. Two of them agreed that at this point it would be a waste of resources to hold that meeting, so they support the cancellation. The third members has not responded yet. It seems that RT members endorsed by other communities also believe that it is the right thing to cancel the meeting. So, currenlty the plan looks like this: Cancel the f2f meeting Ask RT members if they are willing to contiunue the work or want to step down (two of our members agreed to stay on the team at least until more clarity around the parth forward) When it is clear who is staying on the team, SO/ACs will have to look for more people with the right skill-set. Kind regards, ]{atrina

Kim Davies Appointed VP, IANA Functions and President, PTI
by Joke Braeken Dec. 18, 2017

Dec. 18, 2017

Dear All, ICANN announced that Kim Davies<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_profiles_kim…>, Director of Technical Services, Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), has been appointed to the position of Vice President, IANA Services and President, PTI. Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) is responsible for the operational aspects of coordinating the Internet's unique identifiers and maintaining the trust of the community to provide these services in an unbiased, responsible and effective manner. Following Elise Gerich's departure announcement<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_news_blog_el…>, the ICANN organization, in conjunction with the PTI Board, conducted an extensive and exhaustive search for a replacement. The opening attracted a wide array of applicants, many of which were well qualified. As VP of IANA Services, Davies will be reporting to the President of ICANN's Global Domains Division (GDD), Akram Atallah. "Kim was a natural choice for this position. He has a deep and wide understanding of both IANA and PTI, which he has cultivated during his long tenure as Director of Technical Services," said Atallah. "I'd also like to extend our gratitude to Elise, who was pivotal in establishing the IANA Department as an example of reliability and customer service." In this role, Davies will be responsible for ensuring that the IANA functions are performed in a secure, stable, and efficient manner with a commitment towards operational excellence. As President of PTI, he will also serve as one of the five directors on the PTI Board. "The IANA team has worked hard to establish themselves as a leader within the technical community," said Davies. "As we move forward, I want us to focus on continuing to optimize our business process and solidifying the community's confidence in our ability to deliver on the services we provide." Davies will be assuming the role starting 1 January 2018, following Gerich's official departure from the organization. Davies joined the organization in 2005, serving as Manager of Root Zone Services and Technical Liaison prior to his role as Director of Technical Services. Prior to joining ICANN, he worked as Technical Policy Advisor at the Council of European National Top Level Domain Registries, and has been involved in various facets of the ICANN community since the mid-1990s.

FW: Invitation - RSVP - ICANN Leadership Program (LP) 2018
by Katrina Sataki Dec. 15, 2017

Dec. 15, 2017

Dear All, Another request. This time we can appoint two (2) people to take part in ICANN Academy Leadership Programme before the meeting in Puerto Rico. This programme does not cover flight tickers, only accomodation between 6 March and 8 March, as well as stipend. Alejandra and I participated in leadership training in 2015 before ICANN Dublin meeting. I must say it was a very interesting and useful experience. Among many other things, I fully realised what a great, efficient and reasonable community we (the ccNSO) are! Again, we have not much time. We need to appoint two people by 22 December. As you can see, the program is designed for current and incoming leaders. However, from my own experience I can say that those people need to have good knowledge about the ccNSO as participants are (at least were) requested to present their respective communities and answer many questions. Any suggestions? Anyone would like to volunteer? It is worth it! We do not have a formal process for selecting participants to this program. In the past there was a selection Committee that selected participants (see attached Itam 9 Report selection leaders training.pdf). I propose we do the same this time. Byron, Demi and I could review suggestions and make the selection. Byron, Demi – are you available this and next week? Thank you! Kind regards, ]{atrina From: Public Responsibility Support [mailto:prs@icann.org] Sent: Friday, December 08, 2017 11:02 PM To: katrina(a)nic.lv; Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel(a)icann.org> Cc: Ergys Ramaj <ergys.ramaj(a)icann.org>; sandra hoferichter <info(a)hoferichter.eu> Subject: Invitation - RSVP - ICANN Leadership Program (LP) 2018 Dear Katrina: The ICANN Academy Leadership Program (LP) during the ICANN58 Meeting <https://community.icann.org/display/LTP/2017+Leadership+Program> in Copenhagen was another success and the next LP is scheduled to take place 7-9 March 2018, prior to the ICANN61 meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico. For this program, TWO seats are reserved for representatives from your stakeholder group. The program is designed for current and incoming leaders, helping to increase understanding of the complexity of ICANN and to develop facilitation skills. We are aware that understanding ICANN as an organization, the topics discussed within ICANN, and interaction within other stakeholder groups is challenging for incoming leaders, but sometimes also for experienced leaders. ICANN and the community are making considerable efforts in order to help incoming leaders have a good start to their terms and to provide current leaders the opportunity to strengthen their leadership and facilitation skills. Opportunities for Leadership Program participants include the following: * Meet leaders from the other AC/SOs * Discuss important ICANN topics in an in-depth manner * Deepen the understanding of key ICANN processes * Develop facilitation and leadership skills, focused personal effectiveness to run meetings and foster processes A preliminary program is attached to this email. Accommodation for participants will be covered between Tuesday, 6 March and Thursday, 8 March 2018, and participants will receive a stipend. Please note that flights will NOT be covered under this program, as incoming and current leaders are normally covered by the regular ICANN travel support. Please ensure that the leaders you select are being covered by ICANN Travel Support for their flights to Puerto Rico for ICANN61. We would like to ask you to identify 2 incoming or current leaders from your stakeholder group who are interested and available to participate in this program. We recommend that you also identify an alternate candidate. Kindly forward us the names and email addresses of the endorsed individuals no later than 22 December 2017, and ask them to register <https://www.formpl.us/form/4905964358598656> here by Friday, 5 January 2018 at 23:59 UTC. We hope this program will meet the needs of your community. All participants will be encouraged to partake in an open exchange of their views, as this will help facilitate cross-constituency collaboration during their terms. We are very happy to answer any questions you may have on this exciting LP and look forward to having your group’s participants confirmed. Kind regards, Sandra Hoferichter, Chair of the ICANN Academy WG Ergys Ramaj, Sr. Director, Public Responsibility, Staff support for the LP
