As we have stated before, this type of written guidance is critically important to assisting the NomCom in making its selections and we thank you for providing it. To be clear, the ccNSO’s guidance is just that—guidance. The NomCom is an independent body and by design can make appointments to the ccNSO (and other bodies) based on its independent opinion and analysis of the candidates. However, it is the intent of the NomCom that its appointments fill the various needs of the ccNSO and other organizations and significant consideration is given to those organization’s requests for appointees with certain skill sets. We note that the NomCom can only make appointments from the pool of candidates that apply. As such, it is critical that as many qualified candidates apply as possible and we welcome your assistance with outreach to qualified candidates. To formally express interest and to start the application process, candidates should visit https://forms.icann.org/en/groups/nomcom/apply and express their interest. Please note that the deadline to complete an expression of interest is 19 March 2018 at 23:59 UTC. One of the NomCom’s obligations is recruitment. We would welcome the opportunity to speak to any potential candidates for the ccNSO Council and encourage them to apply. We envision potential candidates starting these discussions with Pablo Rodriguez as he is the ccNSO’s appointee to the NomCom. Please let us know how we can be of any other assistance as we go through the selection cycle. Warm Regards, Zahid Jamil—for the 2018 Nominating Committee cc: Pablo Rodriguez (via e-mail only) J. Damon Ashcraft (via e-mail only) Hans Petter Holen (via e-mail only) 2018 NomCom (via e-mail only)

by Joke Braeken March 6, 2018

March 6, 2018

Dear all, The ccNSO Meeting Strategy Review Working Group is seeking comments on its Preliminary Issue Report (see attachment), including its initial recommendations. Announcement: https://ccnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-06mar17-en Purpose The objective of this Preliminary Issue Report is to assess all relevant issues related to the ccNSO Meeting Strategy Review and, following Community Input, to recommend a course of action to the ccNSO Council. Current status The Preliminary Issue Report is based on the input collected via a survey that was recently shared with the broader ccTLD community. Consult the survey results here<https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-58NBMVGH8/>. Based on the input collected via the online survey, the ccNSO Meeting Strategy Review Team makes the following initial recommendations: 1. Organise a ccNSO Members Meeting at every ICANN meeting 2. Ask the meeting programme WG to explore the possibility to organise a 1-day ccNSO Members Meeting during the Policy Forum (i.e. the second ICANN meeting of the year) 3. Keep the ccNSO Members Meeting as a single stream, and do not organise parallel sessions. 4. Invite the meeting programme WG to keep in mind those priorities highlighted via the survey, when putting together the agenda for the ccNSO Members meeting, being: * Developing relations between ccTLDs * Providing updates by and to the ccTLD community In addition to the 4 aforementioned initial recommendations, 1. the ccNSO Meeting Strategy Review Team asks the ccNSO Meeting Programme Working Group to attempt avoiding overlap or duplications with regional organisations' meetings 2. Moreover, the ccNSO Meeting Strategy Review Team invites the ccNSO council to ensure that the joint sessions with other supporting organisations and advisory committees at public ICANN meetings are a valuable experience for all parties, in terms of their objectives and timing Submit your comments Kindly submit your comments to Joke Braeken (joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org>). Comments close on Tuesday, 3 April 2018, 23:59 UTC. Next steps The Preliminary Issue Report is published for public comment in order to allow for Community input on the recommendations. A further session to consult the ccTLD community on the initial recommendations will be held on Tuesday, 13 March 2018 at the ICANN61 ccNSO Members Meeting<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=74587248> in San Juan (13:30-14:30). Following review of the comments and face-to-face consultations, the ccNSO Meeting Strategy Review team will update the Preliminary Issue Report and submit the Final Issue Report to the ccNSO Council for its consideration and potential action. Background In January 2016, the ccNSO Council approved a recommendation by the ccNSO Meeting Programme Working Group<https://community.icann.org/display/ccNSOCWS/24+August+2017?preview=/692747…> to hold three (3) ccNSO Members Meetings a year. This recommendation is currently being revised, as part of the review of the ccNSO meeting strategy. The review is conducted by the ccNSO Meeting Strategy Review Working Group<https://ccnso.icann.org/en/workinggroups/mswg.htm>, according to the Terms of Reference<https://community.icann.org/display/ccNSOCWS/7+December+2017?preview=/74584…> as approved by the ccNSO Council, and based on a consultation with the broader ccTLD community.
