Re: [ccnso-council] [REVIEW DRAFT] Letter to ICANN Board | change of Article 10 and Annex B of the ICANN Bylaws
by Joke Braeken Sept. 8, 2021

Sept. 8, 2021

Hello all, This is a final reminder regarding the draft letter to the Board. Please review the proposed draft by Wednesday, 8 September 2021 (23:59 UTC). Thank you. Best regards, Joke Braeken ccNSO Policy Advisor joke.braeken(a)icann.org From: Ccnso-council <ccnso-council-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of ccnso-council <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Reply to: Joke Braeken <joke.braeken(a)icann.org> Date: Monday, 6 September 2021 at 13:56 To: ccnso-council <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Subject: [ccnso-council] [REVIEW DRAFT] Letter to ICANN Board | change of Article 10 and Annex B of the ICANN Bylaws Dear Councillors, I am following up on the correspondence below. The ccNSO now needs to formally submit a request to the ICANN Board to change the Article 10 and Annex B of the ICANN Bylaws, to enable IDN ccTLD Managers to become members of the ccNSO. A draft letter to the ICANN Board is available for your review. Go to https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FIWNclZcgUc3RoNWkX2QkdyqXEvRXRHliK3penU…<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1FIWNclZcgUc3…> Since time is of essence in this process, please review the proposed draft by Wednesday, 8 September 2021 (23:59 UTC). Your comments or suggestions are welcome. Background This change request is the result of an extensive consultation with the ccNSO members. It started with the second ccNSO Policy Development Process on IDN ccTLDs, which was adopted by the membership in 2013. Additional community consultations took place: in October 2019 - on separating the Bylaw change effort and the launch of the 4th ccNSO PDP on the selection of IDN ccTLD strings – followed by consultations as part of the ccNSO Statement process on the proposed changes of Article 10 and Annex B ( https://ccnso.icann.org/en/about/ccnso-to-icann-legal-18feb21-en.pdf [ccnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ccnso.icann.org/en/about/ccnso-to-icann-…>). Recently ICANN legal provided a response to the ccNSO Statement on the proposed changes to Article 10 of the ICANN Bylaws. Following ICANN Legal’s questions and suggested changes, additional consultations were held in August 2021 regarding the latest proposed changes to Article 10 and Annex B: Council was consulted from 13-19 August, and the ccNSO membership was consulted 20-27 August. Some community members submitted comments, which did not result in further edits to the latest proposed Bylaw changes to Article 10 and Annex B, as per the rationale previously circulated (see email below). Best regards, Joke Braeken ccNSO Policy Advisor joke.braeken(a)icann.org From: Ccnso-council <ccnso-council-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of ccnso-council <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Reply to: Alejandra Reynoso <alejandra.reynoso(a)cctld.gt> Date: Monday, 30 August 2021 at 20:37 To: aclu <aclu(a)twnic.tw> Cc: ccnso-council <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Subject: Re: [ccnso-council] [REVIEW DRAFT] Feedback on Proposed Amendmen ts to Article 10 and Annex B Dear Ai-chin and All Thank you for your kind reminder. I agree with you, this process has taken a long time to get to where we are and it is not the first time this definition has been presented to the community. It was already included in the proposed overall policy for the inclusion of IDNccTLD Managers in the ccNSO selection of IDN ccTLD strings (ccPDP2) as adopted by the ccNSO in 2013, and submitted to the Board. The definition was confirmed again in the October 2019 consultation resulting in the request to change Article 10 and Annex B of the Bylaws and in the ccNSO Statement on the first set of questions from ICANN Legal more recently. Additionally, in the discussions with respect to the ccPDP4 (de-)selection of IDN ccTLD strings, the term ‘Territory’ will be proposed and is defined in the same manner. Therefore, I propose that we relay the comments received to ICANN Legal and keep the current definition. I have cleaned the Google Doc [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/12zZZuHmyatXu…> and everyone can send comments or suggestions until tomorrow at 22:00 UTC.

[REVIEW DRAFT] Letter to ICANN Board | change of Article 10 and Annex B of the ICANN Bylaws
by Joke Braeken Sept. 7, 2021

Sept. 7, 2021

Dear Councillors, I am following up on the correspondence below. The ccNSO now needs to formally submit a request to the ICANN Board to change the Article 10 and Annex B of the ICANN Bylaws, to enable IDN ccTLD Managers to become members of the ccNSO. A draft letter to the ICANN Board is available for your review. Go to https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FIWNclZcgUc3RoNWkX2QkdyqXEvRXRHliK3penU… Since time is of essence in this process, please review the proposed draft by Wednesday, 8 September 2021 (23:59 UTC). Your comments or suggestions are welcome. Background This change request is the result of an extensive consultation with the ccNSO members. It started with the second ccNSO Policy Development Process on IDN ccTLDs, which was adopted by the membership in 2013. Additional community consultations took place: in October 2019 - on separating the Bylaw change effort and the launch of the 4th ccNSO PDP on the selection of IDN ccTLD strings – followed by consultations as part of the ccNSO Statement process on the proposed changes of Article 10 and Annex B ( https://ccnso.icann.org/en/about/ccnso-to-icann-legal-18feb21-en.pdf) Recently ICANN legal provided a response to the ccNSO Statement on the proposed changes to Article 10 of the ICANN Bylaws. Following ICANN Legal’s questions and suggested changes, additional consultations were held in August 2021 regarding the latest proposed changes to Article 10 and Annex B: Council was consulted from 13-19 August, and the ccNSO membership was consulted 20-27 August. Some community members submitted comments, which did not result in further edits to the latest proposed Bylaw changes to Article 10 and Annex B, as per the rationale previously circulated (see email below).

[SIGN UP] ccNSO Website review team
by Alejandra Reynoso Sept. 6, 2021

Sept. 6, 2021

Dear Councillors As you may remember, Katrina has been following up the new ccNSO website process since its inception until now. Following the recent conversations with ICANN's ITI team, we need to provide by 10 September around 5 names of ccNSO representatives for a small team to join Katrina. Members of this team will be asked to volunteer 2-4 hours per month to participate in feedback and requirements gathering sessions about the ccNSO website. The first session will be scheduled between 20-30 September. Given the short time, I propose to have a ccNSO Council committee for this. If later there is a need to expand this group we can always launch a call for volunteers. Please step forward for this small committee by sending an email to Joke ( joke.braeken(a)icann.org) or myself by Thursday 9 September, so we can send the list of participants by 10 September.

REMINDER | We seek your feedback on draft of revised ccNSO Rules
by Joke Braeken Sept. 3, 2021

Sept. 3, 2021

Dear All, This is a reminder regarding the e-mail below, previously sent by David McAuley in his capacity as Chair of a ccNSO Guidelines Review Committee sub-group on the revised ccNSO Rules. The sub-group seeks comments and feedback from the ccNSO membership, regarding certain provisions in the draft new Rules. Your input is valuable to identify issues, and helps the sub-group to find solutions. The new Rules will have a direct impact on the governance structure of the ccNSO, specifically on the respective roles and responsibilities of the Council and ccNSO membership. The sub-group held a webinar on 26 August (consult the recording here<https://community.icann.org/display/ccnsowkspc/ccNSO+Webinars>), and continues to welcome your comments and suggestions. Please review the materials (enclosed), and send any comments or suggestions you may have on the ccNSO members mailing list. The deadline is Friday, 10 September 2021 (close of business). Next Steps A ccNSO Governance session will be held at ICANN72. The goal of the ICANN72 session is to consult the ccNSO membership on the proposed revised internal Rules of the ccNSO, and to collect additional feedback. ICANN72 marks the 4th ccNSO Governance Session, building on the previous sessions at ICANN69, ICANN70 and ICANN71, where the ccNSO Council and Members have been discussing the need to update the internal rules of the ccNSO, which were adopted in 2004. Based on the feedback, the Working Group will finalize its draft, which will then be put before the ccNSO membership for adoption. Thank you. Best regards, Joke Braeken ccNSO Policy Advisor joke.braeken(a)icann.org From: Ccnso-members <ccnso-members-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of "ccnso-members(a)icann.org" <ccnso-members(a)icann.org> Reply to: "McAuley, David" <dmcauley(a)Verisign.com> Date: Tuesday, 31 August 2021 at 22:38 To: "ccnso-members(a)icann.org" <ccnso-members(a)icann.org> Subject: [ccnso-members] Webinar recording and materials regarding feedback opportunity on draft of revised ccNSO Rules Dear ccNSO members, Last Thursday, August 26, the Guideline Review Committee’s Subgroup on the ccNSO Rules held a webinar to present our draft on revised rules. This effort involves a first possible update to the original ccNSO Rules [ccnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ccnso.icann.org/en/about/rules.htm__;!!P…>, adopted in 2004 and still in effect. We did some polling of member views among those in attendance with respect to certain provisions in our draft. But not all members were able to attend and so we are sending this note to encourage further feedback. We intend to present a draft final set of rules for members consideration at ICANN72 in late October. Your input/feedback will help us better understand just how members wish the rules to be updated so we can finalize the draft. Toward that end, we seek further input/feedback on this list by the close of business on Friday, September 10th. Here are useful materials for your consideration: · A document that we in the subgroup refer to as the ‘Headings’ document, showing proposed text for new rules along with relevant old text provisions. · A set of slides that we used at the webinar. · A link<Zoom%20playback> to the Zoom playback recording of the webinar, along with a link [secure-web.cisco.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/secure-web.cisco.com/16Eobvhm7KPvBbZBroQ…> to the chat transcript. · Slides with the polling results from the webinar Please encourage your ccNSO member contacts to weigh in as well – this is an important moment for the governance of the ccNSO and we hope for as much engagement and feedback as possible. Thank you all. David McAuley Subgroup Chair
