Re: [ccnso-council] Reminder: Call for Volunteers: Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data
by Katrina Sataki July 20, 2018

July 20, 2018

Dear Heather, Donna, and Rafik, On behalf of the ccNSO Council I would like to thank you for the invitation to appoint two members and two alternates to the EPDP on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data team. The ccNSO Council considered the invite and decided NOT to appoint members or alternates to the EPDP team. The ccNSO Council’s reasoning is: a. the policy remit of the ccNSO, as defined in the ICANN Bylaws, is limited and excludes a (policy) view of the ccNSO on WHOIS and TLD data collection, b. the requirement that ccNSO appointed members should represent the formal position of the ccNSO, and not their individual views or positions, is not in line with the ccNSO working procedures, and, c. individuals who meet the required skill-set and expertise cannot make the required time commitment. However, the ccNSO Council will encourage individual ccTLDs to share their experience when so asked by the GNSO Council and/or EPDP team. The ccNSO Council has also noted future opportunities to provide meaningful input to the documents during public comment periods. We would like to wish the team wisdom and all the best in meeting the objectives of the EPDP. Kind regards, Katrina Sataki Chair of the ccNSO Council From: Nathalie Peregrine [mailto:nathalie.peregrine@icann.org] Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2018 6:20 PM To: Katrina Sataki <katrina(a)nic.lv> Cc: Heather Forrest <haforrestesq(a)gmail.com>; Austin, Donna <Donna.Austin(a)team.neustar>; rafik.dammak(a)gmail.com; Caitlin Tubergen <caitlin.tubergen(a)icann.org>; Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org>; Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel(a)icann.org>; gnso-secs(a)icann.org Subject: Reminder: Call for Volunteers: Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data Dear Katrina, The GNSO Council approved the Charter <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/temp-spec…> for the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data Expedited Policy Development Process Team (Temp Spec gTLD RD EPDP Team) earlier today.

HEADS UP!!! IANA Function Review is approaching!
by Katrina Sataki July 20, 2018

July 20, 2018

Dear Colleagues: As you know, since 1 October 2016, PTI is performing the IANA Naming Functions, and the way these Functions are performed is extremely important to us, the ccTLD community. As you also may know, the ICANN Bylaws require that the ICANN Board cause a periodic review of PTI's performance of the IANA naming function (IFR). The first such review has to be convened no later than 1 October 2018. Each of these IFRs is conducted by a Review Team (IFRT). The composition of the review team, which is specified by the Bylaws, includes, among others: (a) Two representatives appointed by the ccNSO from its ccTLD registry operator representatives (ccNSO members); (b) One non-ccNSO ccTLD representative who is associated with a ccTLD registry operator that is not a representative of the ccNSO, appointed by the ccNSO. These three members from the ccTLD community are to be appointed in accordance with the rules and procedures of the ccNSO, and each member must be from a different ICANN region. In the second half of August, the ccNSO will issue a call for expressions of interest. Among other things, the candidates should have: . Direct experience and knowledge of the IANA naming functions. . Understanding of the purpose of the IFR. . Analytical skills, ability to interpret quantitative and qualitative evidence, and capacity to draw conclusions purely based on evidence. . Excellent communication skills in order to represent ccTLD interests and to keep the ccNSO Council and broader ccTLD community informed on progress. Further, a candidate will be asked to: . Indicate why she or he is interested in becoming involved in the IFR. . Indicate the ccTLD manager with whom the candidate is associated. . Show that she or he is employed or have active backing by the ccTLD manager with whom the candidate is associated. . Demonstrate the support by the ccTLD manager in respect to the required time commitment to participate actively in the IFR. . Indicate whether willing to stand as co-chair. . Commit to abide by the rules of the IFRT and ccNSO guidelines. In order to ensure that interests of ccTLDs are well represented, we will need a pool of qualified volunteers that is as geographically diverse as possible! We also need ccNSO members and non-members to apply! If you meet these criteria and are interested, I would like to encourage you to put your name forward, as soon as the call for expression of interest is out! Meanwhile, get prepared! Please do not hesitate to ask any questions! I will keep you posted! Kind regards, ]{atrina

Emoji as TLD Study Group update
by Alejandra Reynoso July 19, 2018

July 19, 2018

Dear All Yesterday the Emoji as TLD Study Group had a call, my first call with them *;)* and the agenda was the following: 1. Welcome and Roll Call 2. Introduction new participants 3. Introduction Terms of Reference of Study Group (Included) 4. Chair(s) Nomination 5. Rules of Engagement 6. What to address first? Work plan, end product. 7. AOB 8. Next meeting(s) While reviewing the Terms of Reference of the Study Group ( https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/emoji-sld-purpos…) it was noted that in its closure says: "The study group closes at the end of the ccNSO Council meeting the final report has been discussed by the ccNSO Council, but no later than the ccNSO Council meeting at the ICANN meeting 63 ( Barcelona, Spain)." Since the work of the Study Group has just started, presenting a final report for ICANN 63 is a very tight deadline, so it is requested to defer it until ICANN 64. On the other hand, chair and co-chair nominations are pending. Will be defined by Monday 23 July. A general overview of what the work plan could look like was discussed and it was agreed that the group will start meeting every two weeks starting on 15 August.

Re: [ccnso-council] Minutes for review: Panama F2F 27 June
by Peter Vergote July 17, 2018

July 17, 2018

Hi Kim, Small side note on my part. Concerning the topic “final report CCWG Accountability” & my question/comment about the process. If I’m not mistaking, Katrina immediately addressed this during the Council meeting and confirmed that members will have to decide on this. Meaning that we probably will have the same procedure as with WS1. Might be useful to add this to the minutes so we have it somewhere documented. Best, Peter From: Ccnso-council <ccnso-council-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Kimberly Carlson <kimberly.carlson(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday, 17 July 2018 at 16:50 To: "ccnso-council(a)icann.org" <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Subject: [ccnso-council] Minutes for review: Panama F2F 27 June Dear Councilors, Here are the Panama F2F minutes for review.

FW: [soac-chairs] CCWG-Accountability WS2 - Approval of final report
by Katrina Sataki July 17, 2018

July 17, 2018

Sorry, I just realised that I haven’t forwarded this to you! Kind regards, ]{atrina From: soac-chairs [mailto:soac-chairs-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Bernard Turcotte Sent: Monday, July 09, 2018 5:19 PM To: soac-chairs(a)icann.org; Accountability Cross Community <accountability-cross-community(a)icann.org> Subject: [soac-chairs] CCWG-Accountability WS2 - Approval of final report CCWG-Accountability WS2 Chartering Organizations, It is with great pleasure that the CCWG-‐Accountability WS2 proposes the attached Final Report for your consideration and approval as a Chartering Organization. This Final Report presents a summary of the work completed by WS2 and its sub-‐groups, a listing of all recommendations as well as the complete report from each sub-‐group (Annexes 1 to 8) and the Implementation Guidance (Annex 9) developed to meet the concerns of the ICANN Board of Directors relative to the four recommendations it identified in its letter of May 14 2018 (due to size considerations we are also including a version of the Final Report without the Annexes). The CCWG-‐Accountability would kindly ask that the Chartering Organizations complete their approval of this Final Report by the conclusion of ICANN 63 which will be held in Barcelona in October 2018. It is important to note that rejecting specific recommendation(s) of the final report would reopen the discussion in the concerned sub-‐group(s) and the WS2 Plenary, which would require restarting the WS2 process to reconsider the concerned recommendation(s) and possibly undertaking a new round of public comments. Currently this would not be possible as there is no budget allocated to continue this phase of WS2. Once the CCWG-‐Accountability Chartering Organizations have approved this Final Report for WS2 according to its Charter, it will be transmitted to the ICANN Board for approval and implementation. During this approval period the CCWG-‐Accountability Co-‐Chairs and sub-‐group Rapporteurs remain available to make presentations on the Final Report and answer any questions you may have. In closing, the CCWG-‐Accountability Co-‐Chairs would like to thank the past Co-Chairs, all the Participants for their sustained contributions to this effort, the Rapporteurs for their outstanding dedication and tireless work in guiding their respective groups to producing the recommendations which will help make ICANN better for all in the years to come. The Co-‐Chairs would also like to recognize the excellent work of the MSSI staff which was highly professional and without whom this would have been impossible. A special thank you to: Past WS2 Co-Chairs: * León “Magic” Felipe Sánchez Ambiá * Mathieu Weill Rapporteurs: * Avri Doria – Staff Accountability * Barbara Wanner - Transparency * Cheryl Langdon-Orr – SO/AC Accountability * Chris Wilson – Transparency * Farzaneh Badii - SO/AC Accountability * Fiona Asonga – Diversity * Greg Shatan – Jurisdiction * Lori Schulman – Good Faith * Michael Karanicolas – Transparency * Niels ten Oever – Human Rights * Rafik Dammak – Diversity * Sébastien Bachollet – Ombuds * Steve DelBianco – SO/AC Accountability MSSI Staff: * Bernard Turcotte * Brenda Brewer * Karen Mulberry * Nathalie Vergnolle * Patrick Dodson * Yvette Guigneaux The CCWG-‐Accountability WS2 Co-‐Chairs Thomas Rickert, Jordan Carter, Tijani Ben Jemaa
