It may not be healthy to introduce anonymity and make people free from responsibility, as there is no attribution. Thanks Ajay On 23-Oct-2019 at 15:18:13 Katrina Sataki 'katrina(a)nic.lv' wrote: DearColleagues, I wouldlike to know your thoughts and wishes regarding the rules ofengagement at our upcoming (and maybe all other) Council workshop.We have never done that before but, perhaps, we should discusspluses and minuses of holding the workshop under the Chatham HouseRule, i.e. “participants are free to use the information received,but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), northat of any other participant, may be revealed.” On the plus side,that could facilitate discussions. A minus: it would mean that theworkshop part would be closed, i.e. only Councillors, observersfrom ROs and liaisons would be allowed. In anycase, the workshops are not recorded. We will try to document theresults by taking notes. A brief summary will also be given to themembers on Tuesday. What areyour thoughts? Thankyou, ]{atrina

About the FY20 Board Activities and Operational Priorities
by Joke Braeken Oct. 21, 2019

Oct. 21, 2019

Dear all, Cherine Chalaby, ICANN Board Chair, recently wrote a blog about the FY20 Board Activities and Operational Priorities for Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20). The Board’s activities and operational priorities continue to be divided into five key areas of responsibility, referred to as “blocks,” that the Board uses to organize and think about its work. Within these blocks of responsibilities, the Board's substantive activities are most often community-driven. The Board has also identified a number of additional priorities for the year to improve its own operational efficiency. Each operational priority has associated deliverables, timelines, and measurements. For each block, the blog includes: (i) a short overview of the Board's main duties, (ii) the various activities the Board is focusing on, (iii) an outline of the operational priorities. Read the blog here: https://www.icann.org/news/blog/about-the-fy20-board-activities-and-operati… Best regards, Joke Braeken ccNSO Policy Advisor joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org> Follow @ccNSO on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ccNSO Follow the ccNSO on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ccnso/ http://ccnso.icann.org

Notes ccNSO Council Meeting | 17 October 2019 | 12.00 UTC
by Joke Braeken Oct. 17, 2019

Oct. 17, 2019

Hello everyone. Please find included below some high-level notes from today’s ccNSO Council meeting. A recording will be shared on the Council workspace. Best regards, Joke Braeken 1. Welcome and roll call Welcome by the Chair. Some apologies received. Apologies from: Abdalla Omari and Jordan Carter. 2. Minutes & Action Items No comments received. Minutes approved Action items completed 3. Intermeeting decisions (since 19 September 2019) List included in the agenda circulated on the mailing list. Thank you to Alejandra for stepping forward to serve on the CSC. Other CSC appointed members are an excellent example, thank you to Byron 4. Update “ccNSO membership” following transfer of management of ccTLD Member DB matches with the ccTLD managers in IANA DB. 5. Adoption Guideline: ccNSO Approval Action Process Move? Pablo Seconded? Stephen Questions? None Comments? None Against? None Abstain? None Guideline is finally approved. 6. Update ccNSO related amendment section 18.7 ICANN Bylaws Change to fundamental bylaw. Submitted by ccNSO. Sunday 3 November at ICANN66 (08:00-09:00) there will be a community forum. ALAC supports. So far no objections from GAC or GNSO. Still waiting for them to discuss this. Hopefully we will receive sufficient support. ccNSO appointed ICANN Board members are kindly invited to attend. ccNSO Council chair and Councillors as well. IFRT. we appointed a 3rd non-ccNSO member to this team. Co-chairs to be appointed. From the GNSO side there are no volunteers currently. Frederico Neves (.br) is ready to start the review as the only chair, hoping to a co-chair from the GNSO side. 7. Report CSC membership (members and liaisons) approval process Alejandra selected by the ccNSO Council. Selection Committee from ccNSO Council and RySG approved the 4 members, and moved to the approval of the full slate. Ready to move forward. 8. Update ccNSO Selection Board seat 11 & Council Election procedures 2 things Katrina wanted to mention: * Exchange on mailing list. Some concerns from community members with regards to the guideline we apply. Believe that all changes to all guidelines are supposed to be approved by a members vote. Katrina mention that our internal procedures do not require this. Any comments? Stephen suggests to schedule time at Cancun ccNSO Members meeting to have a discussion on the rules of the ccNSO. Katrina: preliminary discussion took place some time ago. Discussion was started by GRC 2 years ago. There is indeed a members vote needed to change the rules of the ccNSO. Council approves the document, and within 7 members ask for a vote Alejandra suggests to share message with community when a guideline is being approved. ccNSO monthly newsletter lately includes highlights from the ccNSO Council. Agenda for the council meeting is shared on the workspace. Katrina suggests to raise the issue in Cancun that the rules of the ccNSO need to be updated * Concern regarding 2 secondments we received from one of the members. According to the guideline each ccNSO member can nominate and second one candidate. Guideline does not contain further details in this respect. Should we count the 1st or the 2nd secondment received from one and the same person? Requirements for e-elections: Last vote is counted. But that is for elections, and nominations and secondments are made public, contrary to e-votes. Nominations and secondments are not votes. 1st nomination or secondment counts. That is the one that is valid. 1st secondment was to second Nigel Phair. Katrina sees no reason to consider this nomination not to be valid. Jimmy Imossi clarified via email that only his first secondment is Stephen: complicated. Creative interpretation. Margarita: Patricio is available to resign the secondment of Imossi Updates provided by the Nomination Manager (Board Seat 11) and Election Manager (ccNSO Council).Not all candidates have accepted their nominations for the council. Deadline is next week. Katrina wanted to mention that she will miss Hiro’s guidance and advice, since he decided not to run for another term on the ccNSO Council 9. PDP 3 Part 1 Retirement – Update Stress-testing at ICANN66 10. Council Workshop Montreal (ICANN66) a. Topics for Council Workshop b.

If you ask the question this way, you frame the discussion differently. Interested in the Board’s definition of abuse. Link to operational resources and plans. This question makes a statement, and Peter thinks this is not the purpose. Katrina: we can try to re-submit the question. Not sure whether the Board already started looking into this.

Has meetings with them * Positive feedback via survey and intermediate report. Programme is going on quite well * Mary and Tayo will attend ICANN66. Pending visa confirmations. They will submit another report to the selection committee post ICANN66. Programme was introduced on an experimental basis. We believe it is working well. Mentee is getting up to speed. Alejandra has been of great assistance. By the end of the 1-year, there will be a full report on the programme and a recommendation on the next steps to the ccNSO Council. Potentially to expand the scope of the programme. We will shortly present a proposal to the ccNSO Council. We previously hosted 2 webinars for newcomers. Some experienced members also participated. Positive feedback was received. Attempts to make things more engaging. Suggestion: not only hold webinars for newcomers, but also for more advanced members from the community. Council suggested to think about ways on how to achieve this. Dinosaurs, seniors, old-timers…. Alejandra: brief update on mentoring for fellowship programme. 9 fellows. 3 are still pending on visas. 4 fellows are completely ccTLD related. Alejandra will introduce them on site.

FW: [ICANN Community Leaders] ICANN66 - Constituency Sessions - Topic from the Board: Community, Board and ICANN org readiness to implement the three critical plans that will shape ICANN’s future
by Katrina Sataki Oct. 17, 2019

Oct. 17, 2019

Sorry, missed this one! Regards, ]{atrina From: SO-AC-SG-CLeaders [mailto:so-ac-sg-cleaders-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Vinciane Koenigsfeld Sent: Saturday, October 12, 2019 7:26 PM To: so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org Cc: Board Ops Team <board-ops-team(a)icann.org> Subject: [ICANN Community Leaders] ICANN66 - Constituency Sessions - Topic from the Board: Community, Board and ICANN org readiness to implement the three critical plans that will shape ICANN’s future Importance: High Dear Constituency and Stakeholder Groups Chairs, As announced in our below email of 23 September, we are sending you herewith the list of suggested actions for the community, Board and ICANN org to implement the three critical plans that will shape ICANN’s future. We are looking forward to discussing these suggestions with you in Montreal. We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations ( <mailto:board-ops-team@icann.org)> board-ops-team(a)icann.org) your single topic or the list of questions (max. 3), in order of priority, by Monday 14 October 2019. Best regards, Cherine Chalaby Chair, ICANN Board of Directors From: Vinciane Koenigsfeld <vinciane.koenigsfeld(a)icann.org <mailto:vinciane.koenigsfeld@icann.org> > Date: Monday, September 23, 2019 at 9:29 AM To: "so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org <mailto:so-ac-sg-cleaders@icann.org> " <so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org <mailto:so-ac-sg-cleaders@icann.org> > Cc: Board-Ops-Team <board-ops-team-bounces(a)icann.org <mailto:board-ops-team-bounces@icann.org> >, David Olive <david.olive(a)icann.org <mailto:david.olive@icann.org> > Subject: ICANN66 - Constituency Sessions - Topic from the Board Dear Constituency and Stakeholder Groups Chairs, Please reply no later than Monday 14 October 2019 The Board and I are very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 21st AGM that will take place in Montreal between 2-7 November 2019. We wish to keep working on improving our interaction with you and, in particular, we want to address some of the requests and feedback we have received and introduce some more flexibility in the format of our valuable face-to-face meetings. Starting in Montreal, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We are also suggesting that the list of questions or topics received be shared with the entire Community using the Policy digest, in order to increase transparency and allow the groups to improve their own understanding of their peers’ point of views on different issues. As for time allocation, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board chose the following topic to have an open discussion with you: “Community, Board and ICANN org readiness to implement the following three critical plans that will shape ICANN’s future. : (1) Strategic Plan FY 21-25, (2) Operating & Financial Plan FY 21-25, and (3) Work Plan to improve the effectiveness of ICANN’s multistakeholder model.” The <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/strategic-plan-2021-2025-24jun1…> Strategic Plan has been adopted by the Board last June at ICANN 65 in Marrakech. The two other plans will be completed and posted for public comment in December 2019. At ICANN 64 in Kobe, the Board asked each constituency to provide three suggestions, one for the Board, one for ICANN org and one for the Community of things/aspects that should be done/improved in order to implement these plans successfully, starting 1 July 2020, as mandated by our Bylaws. In addition, the Board asked for one suggestion of something that could be done externally to improve trust and with our partners and alliances (eg. IETF) so that they collaborate effectively with ICANN on some of our strategic objectives (eg. DNS security). Based on the input received in Kobe, we are compiling a list of suggested actions for the community, Board and ICANN org which we would like to share and discuss with you in Montreal. We will send you that list in advance of our meeting in Montreal on or before 11 October 2019. We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations ( <mailto:board-ops-team@icann.org)> board-ops-team(a)icann.org) your single topic or the list of questions (max. 3), in order of priority, no later than Monday 14 October 2019 or sooner. For information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group nor the room set-up. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on our suggestions and on how to improve our interaction further. We thank you in advance for your time on this matter and we look forward to welcoming you in Canada! Best regards, Cherine Chalaby Chair, ICANN Board of Directors
