Implementation plan results Council workshop October 2019 and June 2020 Overview and suggestion for implementation of results of the Council Workshops Background: at its meeting in August the Council agreed on following actions to enhance the capabilities of the ccNSO to address the opportunities and threats of the changing environment: 1. Increase the level of interest (in ccNSO in general and its meetings) and number of volunteers and participants (in WGs, Committees and as Councillors) (recommendation 2a, 2b and 5 ccNSO review). This is to be achieved by increasing the targeted outreach and engagement efforts. The Council should create a standing committee which is tasked to develop and maintain an outreach framework/strategy and oversee all outreach and engagement efforts (recommendations WS 2 and Review) currently undertaken by the ccNSO Council, secretariat and WGs. Such a framework should include the organization of introductory and informative webinars prior to public meetings, evolution of the ccNSO newsletter etc. Goal is to lower barriers to participation in attending meetings and participation in working groups and committees and to become a Councillor. 2. Instrumental to increase and maintain interest and particpation in the ccNSO are: o The re-design and re-tooling of the ccNSO Website (recommendation 11 Review, Council Workshop ICANN66 and 68). This website is in use “as is” since December 2010. The website structure needs to improve to allow better access to information and searchability. Tools need to be available for easier maintenance and enable more and easier updating. The “look and feel” needs to be more appealing and up to date. o Real-time scribing of ccNSO Members Day and Tech Day meetings would support and maintain high level of interest in ccNSO and ccNSO related meetings (recommendation review # ) . 1. Next steps Council Workshop September 2020 1.

However, we thought you would prefer to receive this update sooner rather than later, so that you can inform your respective groups and factor in the need to initiate your internal processes to select members for the Community Representatives Group into your overall planning and current activities. Please therefore find attached the updated, proposed Terms of Reference (ToR) that will guide the work of the Community Representatives Group to select a slate of nominees for the Independent Review Process (IRP) Standing Panel. We have included the additional criteria suggested by Donna as well as cleaned up the document to reflect previous feedback from various groups. As the first action will involve constituting the Community Representatives Group, I will also highlight the fact that we have noted your collective preference that the Group be kept small, comprise an odd number (at least 7, but not more than 15, members), be as diverse as is feasible, and possess certain skillsets in the aggregate. The updated ToR also notes that the Group will seek to act by consensus, select its own Chair, and maintain confidentiality of its deliberations while maintaining as much transparency as is practicable (e.g. publication of the final ToR, the Group members’ Statements of Interest and other relevant documents). Assuming that the updated ToR reflects your understanding of the agreements reached and general expectations of the role and tasks for the Group, we suggest issuing a call for Expressions of Interest for potential Group members soon. I will be happy to assist with drafting that call, and if appropriate can send you a draft for your approval before ICANN69 concludes. Thank you all again for your very helpful feedback and time.

I support the proposal as captured as a result of our last call and add a few criteria for consideration. Proposal for final community leaders’ discussion and decision: The Community Representatives Group should be a small, lightweight, odd-numbered group of between 7-15 members, who [in the aggregate] have [the following agreed] expertise and who, as far as possible, represents a diversity of stakeholders and interests across the ICANN community. The size of the group is less important than the skillsets/expertise of the members on the group. Suggested non-exhaustive list of expertise which the Group should possess in the aggregate: (1) experience in selecting Board members (or similar officers or appointees with fiduciary duties) or service on a nominating committee for such selections (note: does not have to be ICANN’s Nominating Committee; experience in academic departments could meet this expertise); (2) experience working with recruitment firms and managing vendors; (3) relevant organizational and process experience (i.e. ability to understand and evaluate the standing panelist criteria and responses, which includes legal and arbitration experience) and (4) understanding of the Independent Review Process and its role as an ICANN accountability mechanism/relationship to ICANN bylaws (something like that) (5) ability to work in a small team across multiple timezones (6) must be able to commit considerable time and effort to the selection process over a short but concentrated time period Thanks Donna From: Mary Wong [mailto:mary.wong@icann.org] Sent: Monday, September 14, 2020 4:44 PM To: Donna Austin <Donna(a)registry.godaddy>; Susie Johnson <susie.johnson(a)icann.org>; 'KEITH DRAZEK' <kdrazek(a)Verisign.com>; Maureen Hilyard <maureen.hilyard(a)gmail.com>; Fred Baker <fred(a)isc.org>; Rod Rasmussen <rod(a)rodrasmussen.com>; Ashley Heineman <aheineman(a)godaddy.com>; Stephanie Perrin <stephanie.perrin(a)mail.utoronto.ca>; Elizabeth Le <elizabeth.le(a)icann.org>; Amy Stathos <amy.stathos(a)icann.org>; Olga Cavalli <olgacavalli(a)gmail.com>; Bruna Martins dos Santos <bruna.mrtns(a)gmail.com>; David Olive <david.olive(a)icann.org>; Samantha Eisner <Samantha.Eisner(a)icann.org>; katrina(a)nic.lv; aftab.siddiqui(a)gmail.com; oscar(a)lacnic.net; claudia.selli(a)intl.att.com; haforrestesq(a)gmail.com; wuknoben(a)gmail.com; pablo(a)nic.pr; oscar(a)lacnic.net; joankerr(a)fbsc.org; Manal Ismail <manal(a)tra.gov.eg> Subject: Follow up: Community Representatives Group for nominating IRP Standing Panel Notice: This email is from an external sender. Dear community leaders, Thank you for your time and input during the calls and regarding the draft Terms of Reference circulated previously, concerning the formation of a Community Representatives Group to select a slate of nominees for the IRP Standing Panel. Please find attached the following for your further consideration: Updated draft Terms of Reference, incorporating input received to date (most recently from the GAC) as well as two comments from ICANN org on the GAC’s questions about the role of the Empowered Community and document disclosure – basically: · while the EC may be a Claimant in an IRP, the formation and selection of the Standing Panel is not an EC action; and · requests for document disclosure will be handled in accordance with ICANN org’s Documentary Information Disclosure Policy (DIDP). Notes from the 2 September call where the composition and criteria for appointment to the Community Representatives Group as well as a possible timeline were discussed. The list of criteria and requirements for IRP panelists that were published along with the call for Expressions of Interest. Next steps as captured in the action items from 2 September For community leaders: Please review and provide comments on: The proposal that emerged on the call, as regards the Community Representatives Group (viz. “The Community Representatives Group should be a small, lightweight, odd-numbered group of between 7-15 members, who [in the aggregate] have [the following agreed] expertise and who, as far as possible, represents a diversity of stakeholders and interests across the ICANN community. The size of the group is less important than the skillsets/expertise of the members on the group”; and The type of expertise which the Community Representatives Group should possess in the aggregate (three of which, identified on the call, have been captured in the notes). If your group wishes to provide input or additional comments on the draft Terms of Reference, we will be grateful if you are able to do so by 18 September if at all possible. For ICANN org: Following receipt of additional input on the updated Terms of Reference (if any), we will prepare and circulate a consolidated and updated document and timeline. Once a draft Statement of Work (SOW) is available as regards appointment of the external expert, we will circulate the draft SOW to this group as well. Thank you.
