Update regarding the work of the ccNSO Meeting Programme Committee and the ICANN71 Policy Forum (agenda item 12. Council Meeting #172)
by Joke Braeken April 22, 2021

April 22, 2021

Dear Councillors, This is a written update, regarding agenda item 12 (ccNSO Working Group and Committee Updates) on today’s Council agenda. The Council meeting will be held on Thursday, 22 April 2021 at 12 UTC. MPC Update Strategy development Following a call for volunteers at the start of 2021, new members joined the ccNSO Meetings Programme Committee (MPC) and the Committee decided to evaluate its effectiveness and efficiency. The evaluation occurred in various steps, including a SWOT analysis, a game plan, and an impact-effort analysis which is expected to be further addressed and finalised at its next meeting. The MPC identified actions, which should be undertaken to strengthen the purpose and value of the MPC, either by increasing the value of the ccNSO sessions for ccTLD Managers, or by increasing the involvement of the MPC members in the Committee’s activities. The Committee currently meets on a bi-weekly basis. Meeting planning The MPC has finalised the ICANN70 Feedback-on-Feedback (see enclosed). This document aims to evaluate the community feedback received regarding the Virtual ccNSO Members meeting at the ICANN70 Community Forum, and provides the feedback from the ccNSO Meetings Programme Committee (MPC) in response. The MPC also kicked off its planning for the sessions related to the upcoming ICANN71 Policy Forum. Prior to ICANN71, the following ccNSO sessions will be organised: * ccTLD News Sessions There are 2 options to participate: Tuesday, 1 June 2021 | 05:00-06:30 UTC & Wednesday, 2 June 2021 | 14:00-15:30 UTC. Each of the sessions have a separate agenda. The MPC currently seeks presenters. The deadline for submitting a proposal is 28 April 2021 (23:59 UTC). Read more about how to apply here<https://ccnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-16apr21-en.htm>. * ccTLD Community Webinar There are 2 options to participate: Tuesday, 8 June 2021 (5 UTC) and Wednesday, 9 June 2021 (13 UTC). During this 1-hour webinar, the ccNSO Council Chair will help you to gain an understanding of the work of the ccNSO, what to expect from the ccNSO at the Virtual ICANN70 community Forum, as well as how ccTLD community representatives can participate in the important work that affects you and your region. Some highlights of the ccNSO-relevant topics and sessions at ICANN71: The DNSSEC Workshop and Tech Day are tentatively scheduled for Monday, 14 June. Moreover, 4 sessions are expected to be held as part of the upcoming ccNSO Members Meeting: 1. ccNSO Governance Session (regarding the ccNSO internal rules), 2. Question and Answer session with ccTLD-related ICANN Board members and others, 3. A session on the external security-related factors that impact ccTLDs, 4. Policy Session (with community awareness raising and consultation regarding ccPDP3 and ccPDP4. Voting regarding ccPDP3-RET is expected to start around ICANN70). The ccNSO Council will most likely meet on Thursday, 17 June. Finally, a CSC/PTI update to the community is expected to be held as well.

written update, regarding agenda item 12 (ccNSO Working Group and Committee Updates) on today’s Council agenda.
by Joke Braeken April 22, 2021

April 22, 2021

Dear Councillors, This is a written update, regarding agenda item 12 (ccNSO Working Group and Committee Updates) on today’s Council agenda. The Council meeting will be held on Thursday, 22 April at 12 UTC. OISC Update The Outreach and Involvement Committee (OISC) will have its second meeting on 22 April, when it will discuss the approach regarding the development of an outreach and involvement strategy, as well as administrative matters, including the chair appointment and the terms of service of its members. Moreover, the Committee will discuss two potential additional annexes to its Terms of Reference, currently covered by the ccNSO Travel Fund Guideline and the ccNSO Community Onboarding Programme arrangements. At the start of 2021, the ccNSO Council decided to integrate the activities of the ccNSO COP into the newly created Outreach and Involvement Committee (OISC), and the additional annexes only relate to the integration of those aspects into the OISC: No further substantial edits are expected. Further information will be shared with the Guideline Review Committee and eventually Council, as soon as it becomes available. IGLC Update The ccNSO Internet Governance Liaison Committee (IGLC) met on 21 April, for an extended meeting with a 90 minute duration. The IGLC evaluated the lessons learned from the IGLC session at ICANN70, and agreed not to organize a session as part of the ICANN71 Policy Forum public schedule in June. Via a forward-looking SOAR-analyses, which focused on the committee’s aspirations and results, the IGLC started a review of its value and purpose, how this fits into the overall ccNSO value and purpose, and how to best meet expectations of all stakeholders. The input collected via the SOAR analysis will be integrated into a game plan, which the IGLC will discuss at its next meeting. An update regarding the work of the ccNSO Meetings Programme Committee (MPC) will follow shortly. Best regards, Joke Braeken ccNSO Policy Advisor joke.braeken(a)icann.org

The ccNSO Meeting Programme Committee looks forward to your suggestions. Thank you! Best regards, Joke Braeken On behalf of the ccNSO Meetings Programme Committee About the ccTLD News Sessions Previous editions of the ccTLD News Sessions had an excellent collection of case studies, statistics, new developments, trends and more. The ccTLD News Sessions have been a part of the ccNSO Members Meetings for several years and has provided a global platform for both experienced and new people to meet, share experiences and discuss ccTLD-related aspects. For reference, the most recent session was held prior to ICANN70. The presentations and recordings are available at https://community.icann.org/display/ccnsowkspc/pre-ICANN70+ccNSO+Sessions Joke Braeken ccNSO Policy Advisor joke.braeken(a)icann.org
