Topics to discuss with the ICANN Board
by Katrina Sataki Feb. 8, 2018

Feb. 8, 2018

Dear All, I would like to bring to your attention the topics for our discussion with the Board. These topics were presented during our latest Council call but I believe that some of you surely have other topics in mind. Here is the current list: - Communication between the ICANN Board and the ccNSO regarding Board's decisions - Impact of the leveling of ICANN's funding on ICANN's priorities and priority setting mechanism - Next steps for adoption of the IDN overall policy These are the topics - to make it easier for the Board to prepare, we'll come up with more concrete questions a bit later. Meanwhile, do you have any other urgent issues that need to be raised with the Board? I am sure you do :) Please let me know by the end of the week! Thank you! Kind regards, ]{atrina

Reminder : Call for volunteers: ccNSO Strategic and Operational Planning Standing Committee (SOPC)
by Joke Braeken Jan. 29, 2018

Jan. 29, 2018

Dear all, This is a kind reminder that the ccNSO seeks additional volunteers for the ccNSO Strategic and Operational Planning Standing Committee (SOPC), formerly known as the SOP Working Group. Closing date of this call for volunteers is Friday, 2 February 2018, 23:59 UTC.  The SOP is a key working group for the ccNSO, which has gained an important role by its regular input provided to ICANN's Strategic and Operational plans. The SOP WG is just about to kick off its work to provide input to FY19 Annual Budget and operational Plan & Update of the Five-year Operational Plan 2016-2020. If you are interested in joining the SOPC, kindly send an e-mail to joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org> Closing date of this call for volunteers is Friday, 2 February 2018, 23:59 UTC.  Who can join? Membership of the Committee is open to all ccTLD managers (whether members or non-members of the ccNSO). Workload & working method The Committee has estimated that every member needs to be able to invest at least six days on a yearly basis towards the work of the group. The workload is not spread evenly, but is concentrated around the periods when ICANN launches consultations on its Operating Plan, Budget and Strategy Plan. The group meets through telephone conferences and face-to-face meetings during the ICANN meetings. However, most work is done between the telephone conferences and meetings. About the SOPC The aim of the Committee is to coordinate, facilitate, and increase the participation of ccTLD managers in ICANN and PTI’s strategic and operational planning processes and related budgetary processes. The ccNSO Council and individual ccTLD managers, collectively or individually, will be invited to support the position or input of the Committee. The Committee may submit a relevant Rejection Action Petition against the ICANN and IANA budgets, as well as their Strategic and operating Plans as defined in the ICANN Bylaws, Annex D, section 2.1 (f), (g), (h) and (i) to the ccNSO as Decisional Participant.

by Katrina Sataki Jan. 24, 2018

Jan. 24, 2018

To: Cherine Chalaby, Chair of the ICANN Board of Directors Cc: Chris Disspain, Mike Silber, Göran Marby Dear Cherine: In response to the November 2017 Board resolution pertaining to the use of emoji as second level domains (See: <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2017-11-02-en#1. e)> https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2017-11-02-en#1.e ), I am pleased to inform you that ccNSO Council has agreed to undertake the following actions: - Include a session on the ccNSO meeting agenda, and also in Tech Day, where SSAC will be invited to explain the risks on use of emoji as second level domains to the broader ccTLD community; - Start process of establishing a study group, similar to the study group on wildcarding ( <https://ccnso.icann.org/en/workinggroups/wildcardwg.htm> https://ccnso.icann.org/en/workinggroups/wildcardwg.htm) which effectively resulted in limiting the use of wildcarding by ccTLDs; - Check the references in the current Fast Track documentation and overall recommended policy to understand if and how references to relevant RFCs are included and need to be aligned.

Adoption of the ccNSO IDN ccTLD Policy recommendations
by Katrina Sataki Jan. 24, 2018

Jan. 24, 2018

To: Cherine Chalaby, Chair of the ICANN Board of Directors Cc: Chris Disspain, Mike Silber, Göran Marby Dear Cherine: As a follow-up from my letter to the Chair of the ICANN Board of Directors dated 30 January 2017, I would like to request the ICANN Board of Directors to discuss and adopt the ccNSO IDN ccTLD Policy recommendations. The proposed policy was submitted to the ICANN Board in September 2013 and now, with conclusion of the 3rd review of the Fast Track process (March 2015) and the upcoming implementation of the related proposed guidance on and refinement of the Fast Track Methodology, the ccNSO Council believes that the experimental Fast Track should be replaced by the overall policy and its implementation. Further, the ccNSO Council believes that future refinements and policy needs should be addressed through the overall policy, including, but not limited to, potential ccNSO policy efforts related to emoji as second level domains. On behalf of the ccNSO Council, Katrina Sataki, Chair

Dear Colleagues, As discussed yesterday, please have another look at the attached document.

However, if after another look you spot something you would like to change/add/correct, etc, let me know by the end of this week. On Monday I will send it to the NomCom as they are waiting for input from us. Kind regards, ]{atrina
