Cancelled meeting: moving forward
by Katrina Sataki Feb. 23, 2020

Feb. 23, 2020

Dear Councillors, Working group and Committee Chairs, This email is to invite you to a special call regarding ICANN67. The call is scheduled for Monday, 24 February 2020 at 12 (noon) UTC. The ccNSO Secretariat will follow-up with a calendar invite. As you know, the ICANN Board of Directors has decided to cancel ICANN67 and hold a remote meeting instead. The goal of the call on Monday is to identify: - what definitely needs to be done in the timeframe of ICANN67, for example, ccNSO Council meeting to elect the chair and vice-chairs of the ccNSO and assign other roles, - which meetings and sessions have to be held regardless of ICANN67 or another ICANN meeting, for example, the PDP RET WG meeting, - which meetings and sessions can be held only in person and hence have to be deferred to the next face-to-face meeting. Please think about these and other issues you would like to discuss. Thank you! Kind regards, ]{atrina

ccNSO and ICANN67 as remote participation-only event
by Katrina Sataki Feb. 20, 2020

Feb. 20, 2020

Dear All, As a follow-up on Joke’s email about the Board’s decision to cancel the meeting in Cancun, I would like to inform you that the ccNSO Council, Chairs of Working Groups and Committees have been invited to a conference call upcoming Monday 24 February 2020, 12.00 UTC. If you are interested, you are also kindly welcome to attend. The goal of the call is to identify: - what definitely needs to be done in the timeframe of ICANN67, for example, ccNSO Council meeting to elect the chair and vice-chairs of the ccNSO and assign other roles, - which meetings and sessions have to be held regardless of ICANN67 or another ICANN meeting, for example, the PDP RET WG meeting, - which meetings and sessions can be held only in person and hence have to be deferred to the next face-to-face meeting. We will develop a (limited) meeting schedule for ICANN67 and share it with you as soon as it is available. All information about the call, including a link to Zoom, is published at https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=126426069 I am very sorry I will not have the opportunity to see you all in Cancun. I know that many of you have tickets and hotels booked and will go there anyway. Have a shot or two of tequila on the beach for the rest of us! Kind regards, ]{atrina From: Ccnso-members [mailto:ccnso-members-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Joke Braeken Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2020 9:40 AM To: ccnso-members(a)icann.org; cctldcommunity(a)cctld-managers.org; ccnso-council <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Subject: [ccnso-members] ICANN67 as remote participation-only event: impact on the ccNSO schedule hello All, ICANN announced that its ICANN67 Public Meeting, which was to be held in Cancún, Mexico, will now be held via remote participation-only.
