MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Webinar introducing the ccPD3 WG initial proposals
by Kimberly Carlson Dec. 5, 2022

Dec. 5, 2022

Dear all, The ccNSO Policy Development Process Review Mechanism Working Group (ccPDP3WG-RM) has recently completed its initial draft for a recommended policy for a mechanism to review specific decisions pertaining to the delegation, transfer, revocation, and retirement of country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). The objective of the policy is to offer ccTLD managers, and applicants for new ccTLDs, an independent review mechanism for a limited set of decisions, which are detailed in the Initial Report. To seek community input and comments a public comment period started on 29 November 2022 and will close on 24 January 2023 (see: https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/initial-report-on-the-cc…) . To assist community members in providing feedback and comments [if any], the Working Group will host two webinars to accommodate different time zones (you will only need to attend one webinar, each session will cover the same material): * The first webinar is scheduled on 7 December 2022 | 8:00 UTC (1 hour) Zoom URL: https://icann.zoom.us/j/95804574031?pwd=N2RmbGtYdnIvcmhadUp4K3BZQzBkdz09 | Meeting ID: 958 0457 4031 * The second webinar is scheduled on 7 December | 20:00 UTC (1 hour) Zoom URL: https://icann.zoom.us/j/94115804070?pwd=Z244dkdRcXc5TmxiNTdUZVhxQmxDdz09 | Meeting ID: 941 1580 4070 If you are unable to attend live, the slides and recordings will be made available on the wiki: https://community.icann.org/x/Iok-DQ Thank you, Kim

INVITATION: Guideline Review Committee Subgroup on Implementation
by Kimberly Carlson Dec. 1, 2022

Dec. 1, 2022

Dear all, As you will recall the ICANN Board has recently (September 2022) adopted the ccNSO policy on retirement of ccTLDs. The ccNSO is currently working on two other policy initiatives: review mechanism and selection of IDN ccTLD strings. At one point, these proposed policies will need to be implemented before they become operational. Although the development of ccNSO policies is first and foremost a matter of the ccNSO, the implementation of these policies is undertaken by ICANN org. However, it is anticipated that during the implementation process of these policies the ccNSO may be asked to provide clarification and/or provide other input. To provide a structured approach the ccNSO Guideline Review Committee was asked by Council to develop guidance on how the ccNSO could assist and advise on implementation of policies developed through the ccNSO Policy development process. The GRC decided on the 21 November 2022 to use the sub-group structure to develop a ccNSO Implementation guideline. So, if you are interested, please let me know and/ or attend the first meeting the small group will start its work is Monday 5 December 2022, 15.00 UTC. Thank you, Kim
