NOTES ccNSO COUNCIL 173 | 20 May 2021 (18.00 UTC)
by Joke Braeken May 20, 2021

May 20, 2021

Hello everyone, Please find included below some notes from today’s ccNSO Council meeting. Best regards, Joke 1. Welcome and roll call Welcome by Chair Alejandra Reynoso. Reminder to add “ccNSO Council” to your name in the zoom room. Wiki with documents for the call: https://community.icann.org/display/ccNSOCWS/20+May+2021+%7C+18%3A00+UTC We are quorate. Laura sent her apologies. Nick might join a bit later. 2. Minutes & Action Items All action items completed. Minutes of the previous meeting have been circulated. CSC: no applications received to date. 3. Intermeeting Decisions (since 22 April 2021) All completed 4. ccPDP3 a. Part 1 Retirement – Update Presentation by Alejandra. Final phase of ccPDP3 on retirement Important milestone. No decisions to date, but a heads up on the things to do next: 1. Formally separate part 1 from part 2. Council online voting. (28 May - 4 June). This decision does not require a vote by the ccNSO members. Explicit vote, since we do this for the first time. Agree, Abstain, Object. Response via email. 7 days to allow ccnso members to veto the decision. 2. Recommendation on proposed policy (part 1) Members report circulated to Council. Decision at icann71. We need consensus. (14 in favour) 3. Approve members report Timeline was circulated with the agenda. Aim: start the members vote on 6 July until 27 July. if we do not meet the 50% threshold, 30 days for the next round. Proposal: start in September. Stephen: in favour of this timeline. Available to answer questions. To do: * Start email decision on 28 may * Councillors to start engaging the community regarding the upcoming members vote. Task for all to be aware of the upcoming vote Bart: why separation? Document has been circulated on the mailing list. It includes an executive summary. Also includes a rationale for the proposed decision. Include a bit on the impact of the decision, explaining why it is not part of the PDP itself. Hence no members vote. Background of the decision making, and the relevant section from the issue report in the annexes. Council decision on combining part 1 and part 2. Will be re-circulated tomorrow. The call for your decision will include the executive summary. Bart: Final Report This was a deliberate draft. Why circulated? It provides the background. Will be recirculated after the separation decision has been made. This allows you to prepare for the deliberations and final recommendation in June. The final report: the policy itself is included in attachment A. Section 1 to 5 is the process as proposed by the WG, which went through 2 consecutive consultation rounds. Other sections around the stress test, responses to public comment. Also a glossary included. b. Part 2 Review Mechanism – Update Group met yesterday. Robust discussion on how binding the review mechanism could be. IRP is laborious, expensive, and time-consuming. Not trying to repeat that. Another consultation with ICANN legal to be expected a couple of meetings after ICANN71. An informational policy session will be held during ICANN71, together with ccPDP4. Alejandra: do councillors have a role in that policy session? Stephen: informational session. Staff will work on a slide set. Jordan: how binding this review mechanism is. What is meant here? Stephen: conflict between ccTLD community’s wishes, and others. Binding for IFO and ICANN Board, vs their fiduciary responsibilities. The board and IANA and the contractual relation between the 2. Bart: discussion IRP in WS1. Result of the discussion between the law firms engaged by the WG and ICANN legal and their lawyers. ICANN legal mentioned that fiduciary duties would prevent an external decision to be binding, which is as important as for instance a delegation. Jordan: this sets off alarms 5. IDN ccPDP4: Update Written update by Ai-Chin shared on the mailing list Alejandra: What is happening at the policy session? Bart: group has agreement on the processes and procedures and main criteria. At ICANN71, during the policy session, 45 min will be dedicated to this group. The ccPDP4 WG seeks the feedback and comments from the participants during the session. Intention is to share the principles with the audience, and check whether they agree. 6. Initial discussion workplan ccNSO, changing role of Triage Committee Presentation by Alejandra. Purpose and value of the ccNSO Triage and OISC provide a balance between what needs to be done. Help to Council. Proposal for GRC to be more involved in the continuous organisational improvement. a. Baseline overview work items May 2021- May 2023 b. Updating the work plan – changing role of Triage Committee Bart prepared a GANTT chart. There are some areas which come naturally: role of the ccNSO as decisional participant and supporting organisation. This type of overview provides the broader community, triage committee, and council, to look at progress made against the plan. Check if there are issues, and monitor what is happening. Informing the community about potential delays for instance. Work items which are currently in the pipeline. What you can anticipate in the next 2 years. There is a clear need to start managing work items and to see what should be included. If necessary, start prioritising work items. Not spend too much time on trivial matters. Work plan will be on the agenda for the next council meeting. Councillors invited to carefully read, to be ready for the adoption at the next meeting. c. Quarterly reporting on progress completion work items Jordan: proposing priorities. Triage Committee to have a meeting each quarter. See after a year, if that is the right frequency. Establish the priorities at the start of the year. New work for the triage committee. At the next meeting there will be more info available. 7. Council Election 2021 This is a heads up. Proposed timeline being displayed. No action needed right now. Biyi, Jordan, Nick, Demi and Pablo’s current term ends at the conclusion of the March 2022 meeting. Timeline to be adopted latest by the July Council meeting. 8. ICANN71 Planning a. ccTLD Managers related events i. ccTLD news sessions ii. Newcomer’s session iii. Tech Day iv.

Alejandra: did they consult with anyone? Stephen; wish to get outside of the ccNSO silo, and have a more cross-community nature. Stephen: will send info to the mailing list Alejandra: request was denied. Tech Day goes beyond the ccNSO in terms of audience, but the group is a ccNSO WG. anything which is WG-related is part of the ccNSO. The Tech WG is not a group that can make these requests, but the ccNSO does. Was tagged as a ccNSO request therefor by the Board The charter does not allow or give the TEch WG this authority to ask for a budget. Also, the charter is very outdated. Kindly ask the Tech WG to review the charter, and to send the council and updated version. Stephen: i did not know about this.

Email exchange with the TLD OPS and the leadership team. Last meeting was in December 2020. To make sure the actions of TLD-OPS are followed up. 22 responses were received. That is not much.
