Voting Resolution on separation of ccPDP3 Part 1 and Part 2
by Bart Boswinkel June 4, 2021

June 4, 2021

Dear all, Per last Council meeting ( 20 May 2021) the Note on separation of part 1 and part 2 of ccPDP3 was circulated to you on 25 May 2021. To date no questions or comments were received. As said, after closure of the comment period the secretariat will start the Council email voting on the separation. As discussed on the call you are now asked to vote explicitly to support, abstain or object to the resolution below by Friday 4 June 2021, at noon UTC . For your reference, I have included the note again as well. Kind regards, Bart ----------------- Draft Resolution Background In February 2021 the ccNSO Working Group on Retirement of country code Top-Level Domains(ccTLDs) concluded its work by unanimously supporting the policy recommendations pertaining to the retirement of ccTLDs. This policy development effort is part of the third ccNSO Policy Development Process, which was initiated in 2017 to develop policy recommendations on the Retirement of ccTLDs (Part 1) and to develop policy recommendations for a Review Mechanism for decisions pertaining to the delegation, transfer, revocation, and retirement of ccTLDs (Part 2). In accordance with its 2017 Charter, the Chair of the Retirement WG conveyed the Final Paper of the Working Group to the Issue Manager of ccPDP3 to be included in the Initial Report of the ccPDP. The ccPDP3 Retirement WG believes - after extensive consultation of the ccTLD community and the ccNSO Council - that parting the Proposed Retirement Policy from the Review Mechanism would be beneficial to the process for the following reasons: * The originally anticipated dependency between the retirement process as will be proposed and recommended and the Review Mechanism - which is under development – has proven to be very limited and the area of interdependency is addressed in the proposed Retirement Policy. * The anticipated time saving of at least 3 months to make the Review Mechanism available to the community and to simplify the process by Combining Part 1 and Part 2 has been overtaken by events. * Deferring the decision-making on the Proposed Retirement Policy by the ccNSO Council and ccNSO Membership, will have an adverse effect on the decision-making process. Decision To expedite the ccNSO decision-making on the proposed recommended policy for the Retirement of ccTLDs, Part 1 of the third (3rd) ccNSO Policy Development Process (ccPDP3), shall be further treated separately and independently from Part 2 of ccPDP3 on developing a Review Mechanism and now follow the steps required under ICANN Bylaws Annex B, starting with section 9.c. Part 2 of ccPDP3, on review mechanism will continue according to the timeline and Annex B of the ICANN Bylaws. The Secretariat is requested to publish the Council decision as soon as possible after conclusion of the voting. The decision will become effective 7 days after publication.
