reminder: the IGLC needs your input for its repository of Internet Governance events
by Joke Braeken Dec. 9, 2019

Dec. 9, 2019

Dear All, As IGLC Chair Pierre Bonis just mentioned here at ICANN66 in Montreal, the IGLC continues to seek your input, via a survey. The survey will close at the end of 2019. The ccNSO Internet Governance Liaison Committee (IGLC) aims to create a repository of events, programmes or initiatives in the Internet Governance area, that address ccTLD-relevant topics. This initiative has two main objectives: * share information among ccNSO members, not only on upcoming meetings or events, but also on previous talks, in order to help fostering co-operation between ccTLDs who would like to share their views on one of the 8 relevant topics included in the background section below. * Once the survey results are available, it allows us to advertise to the broader ICANN community and other key players the important role of ccTLDs in Internet governance talks. Instructions: * The focus lies on the 8 topics selected by the IGLC, and the relevance for ccTLD managers. * You are invited to not only share IGF’s, but also other IG-related programmes or initiatives where the aforementioned topics are being covered. Example: Internet Governance training sessions * Events, programmes and initiatives that you include in the survey do not necessarily need to take place in the future. You can also include past events. Click here to take the survey now: https://www.surveymonkey.de/r/IGLCtopics<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.surveymonkey.de_r_…> Background: The IGLC selected 8 main Internet Governance-related topics which are relevant to ccTLD managers: 1. Local content 2. Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs) 3. Regulations 4. Technical 5. Digital divide 6. Cybersecurity 7. Role of the ccTLDs as promotors of the IGF dialogues 8. Capacity building Which of these topics are addressed where and when? Let us know!

Hi all, In case the link does not open properly, please try this one instead https://forms.gle/PsDiDeHYAw2e2vs46 Best, 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 From: Ccnso-council <ccnso-council-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Joke Braeken <joke.braeken(a)icann.org> Date: Friday, 22 November 2019 at 11:44 To: ccnso-council <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Subject: [ccnso-council] NextGen@ICANN Community Consultation Dear Councillors, The NextGen@ICANN program seeks input to help ICANN org can gauge the level of community interest, via a poll. The findings of this poll will inform the proposed NextGen program approach that will be published for Public Comment. Question: Is the ccNSO interested in nominating individuals to the NextGen@ICANN either as Selection Committee Members, or as Mentors? Please answer the short survey below by Friday, 29 November end of day. https://forms.gle/36YSZy2VkTiZ1yts7 [forms.gle]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__forms.gle_36YSZy2VkTiZ…> The input of the survey will be used by the secretariat to answer the community-wide NextGen@ICANN poll. Background The NextGen@ICANN program is currently undergoing a community consultation: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/nextgen-community-consultation-2019-0… [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…> One request from the preliminary feedback received to-date was for ICANN org to explore the feasibility of having community volunteer representatives from Supporting Organizations (SOs), Advisory Committees (ACs), Stakeholder Groups (SGs), and Constituencies (Cs) to nominate individuals for the following two roles: 1. NextGen Selection Committee members 2. NextGen mentors For the Selection Committee, a time commitment of approximately 20 hours over three weeks is required (for each application round). Selection Committee members will typically serve for two years (or six application rounds). Mentors are expected to devote approximately 24 hours to pre-ICANN Public Meeting preparation with their mentees, to offer advice, networking support, and regular check-ins on-site, and to complete evaluations following the ICANN Public Meeting. Based on previous estimates, mentors spend about two hours per week during the six-week preparation period in advance of the meeting and about two hours per day providing on-site support at the ICANN Public Meeting. Mentors will typically serve for one year (or three meetings).

Update on Empowered Community Support for Board resolution 2019.09.08.05 (Fundamental Bylaw 18.7)
by Stephen Deerhake ＠ ASNIC Nov. 27, 2019

Nov. 27, 2019

Greetings, As I noted in earlier correspondence, we have support from the following AC/SO’s: ALAC ccNSO GAC for the change to the fundamental Bylaw change 18.7 regarding the composition of the IANA Naming Functions Review, with no formal objections received by the ECA at the time of writing this. It has been reported by ICANN org that the GNSO is expected to submit their formal approval of the Bylaw change to the Empowered Community Administration tomorrow. I have no information with respect to what the Address Supporting Organization intends to do with respect to the Bylaw change. In reviewing the correspondence of support from the three AC/SOs, I have identified easily correctable defects in two of them, and have reached out to the relevant AC/SO leadership for remedial action. As a reminder, the Approval Action Decision Period expires at 23:59 Los Angles time on 28 November (07:59 UTC on 29 November if I did my math correctly). Best Regards, /Stephen

Excellent. For those keeping score, the minimum threshold required for approval has been met (ALAC, ccNSO, and GAC). The ECA is still waiting to hear from the ASO and GNSO. FYI, the letter from the ECA to the ICANN Corporate Secretary is already written; I’m just waiting for the clock to expire (and for the ASO and GNSO to act).
