Subsequent procedures and Geo names
by Nick Wenban-Smith Sept. 30, 2020

Sept. 30, 2020

Hi All Nice to see you all this evening on the workshop 😊 I was reminded that I’d promised to circulate a draft comment on the new gTLDs final report, especially to support the geo names recommendations (in essence to preserve 2 letter for ccTLDs and to ensure that the 3166 alpha 3 codes can’t become gTLDs) So to update you all, there isn’t really a comment as such, you just have to submit a google doc to confirm you agree. I’ve done that in draft to confirm that the ccNSO council agrees with the geo names and some of the other details which are essentially no change, but expressed no opinion on the more controversial areas (such as closed generics). Hope that is all ok. The deadline is cob tomorrow so just shout any issues as per our last call otherwise I will submit our support.

Individuals are elected in their personal capacity and serve the ccTLD community. Councillors do not represent the views and interests of their employers. Candidates need to be neither resident in the region, nor a citizen of a country, within the region in which they stand for election. A valid candidate is one that has been nominated and seconded according to the ccNSO council Election Guideline, and that has accepted the nomination. If there is more than one valid candidate in a Geographical Region, an election shall be conducted in that region. Voting will be by secret ballot: the ballot is identified only by a code and not by a name. During a recent Council Election Webinar, the ccNSO Chair and Councillors gave an overview of the election process and address the need to replace Councillors at reasonable and regular intervals. Moreover, they provided further information about the required skill sets for Councillors, the time commitment and working methods of the ccNSO Council. Consult the webinar recording<https://community.icann.org/display/ccnsowkspc/ccNSO+Webinars> here. Accepting nominations After closure of the nomination period, the Election Manager will ask the candidates that are nominated to accept their nomination. Self-nominations are understood to have accepted their nomination. The Election Manager will provide a list with the name(s) of the candidate(s) who have accepted their nomination. A record of who has nominated and seconded the candidate(s) is publicly available: http://forum.icann.org/lists/ccnso-nominations [forum.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/forum.icann.org/lists/ccnso-nominations__…> Next steps The Election Manager will ask the candidates to provide a written candidate statement. A Q&A session will be held at the upcoming ccNSO Members Meeting at ICANN69 in October 2020. In preparation of the Q&A session, the written candidate statements will be posted on the ccNSO website. The Q&A session gives the ccNSO members and broader ccTLD community an opportunity to interact with the candidates, and to ask questions. Consult here<https://community.icann.org/x/awG-C> the agenda of the ICANN69 ccNSO Members Meeting. If at the close of nominations there are no more valid candidates in a particular geographic region than there are seats on the ccNSO Council available for that geographic region, then the nominated candidates shall be selected to serve on the ccNSO Council. Otherwise, an election shall be held for that geographic region, to select the ccNSO Councillors from among the valid candidates.

REMINDER: IANA Naming Function Review Team Community Webinar
by Kimberly Carlson Sept. 29, 2020

Sept. 29, 2020

https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2020-09-21-en LOS ANGELES – 21 September 2020 – Today, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Naming Function Review Team (IFRT) has announced that it is in the final stages of completing its Initial Report. The IFRT will be holding a webinar for the community regarding one of their proposed recommendations that would require an amendment to the IANA Naming Functions Contract<https://pti.icann.org/agreements> between the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and its affiliate Public Technical Identifiers (PTI). This amendment may be of particular interest to country code top-level domain (ccTLD) and generic top-level domain (gTLD) registry operators. Per the ICANN Bylaws<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en>, Article 18, Section 18.5.d.(a): "The IFRT may recommend, among other things to the extent reasonably related to the IFR responsibilities set forth in Section 18.3, amendments to the IANA Naming Function Contract, IANA Naming Function SOW and/or the CSC Charter. The IFRT shall, at a minimum, take the following steps before an amendment to either the IANA Naming Function Contract, IANA Naming Function SOW or CSC Charter is proposed:……(iii) Conduct a public input session for ccTLD and gTLD registry operators." The IFRT noted that the IANA Naming Functions Contract<https://pti.icann.org/agreements> contains a requirement relating to the formatting of IANA's monthly Root Operations Audit Reports<https://www.iana.org/performance/root-audit> and this requirement can be considered obsolete. The IFRT therefore recommends that: In Article 7 Section 7.1 (a) the IFRT recommends that this statement "The relevant policies under which the changes are made shall be noted within each monthly report" be removed from the contract, as it is a legacy statement from the NTIA contract that is no longer required. The IFRT encourages all interested parties, and in particular ccTLD and gTLD registry operators, to join the scheduled informational webinar to learn more. Webinar Information Date: 29 September 2020 Time: 17:00 – 17:30 UTC Webinar Link: https://icann.zoom.us/j/96824197988?pwd=TGpISnFnck1TblpQdkthd0lHUzRxdz09 Passcode: IFRT_09/29 A recording of the webinar will be made available on the IFRT's Wiki page<https://community.icann.org/display/ifr> and you may submit questions and comments at any time via their public email list input-to-IFRT(a)icann.org<mailto:input-to-IFRT@icann.org>. For more information on the webinar, click here<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=120819308>. About IFR The IANA Naming Functions Review (IFR) is one of the accountability mechanisms created as part of the IANA stewardship transition to ensure that ICANN, via its affiliate Public Technical Identifiers (PTI), meets the needs and expectations of its naming customers. About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world. About PTI Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) is an affiliate of ICANN responsible for performing the IANA functions, which include management of the Domain Name System root zone, the global Internet Protocol address space and other protocol parameters that support Internet operation. PTI was formed in 2016 following a transition of stewardship to the multistakeholder community that relies upon the IANA functions. PTI performs the IANA functions under contract with ICANN.
