For Decision Draft Resolution Decision The ccNSO Council requests the secretariat to launch a call for a volunteer on the Root Server System Governance Working Group, as soon as possible but no later than 17 March 2022 and closing date 24 March 2022. The general Guideline: ccNSO Appointments applies (https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/guidelines-ccnso…) 1. Review of WG Charters and Terms Of Reference * Adoption amended charter IGLC For discussion and adoption The IGLC reviewed its charter and suggested the appointment of a vice-chair to ensure continuity. No other changes were needed. Draft Resolution Decision The ccNSO Council adopts the amended Terms of Reference (v2.0) of the ccNSO Internet Governance Liaison Committee by including appointment of Vice-Chairs of the Committee. * Progress review of other Charters For Information 1. ccNSO & DNS Abuse Discussion results session ccNSO & DNS Abuse * Adoption Roadmap For Decision Draft Resolution Background The ccNSO Council Ad-hoc committee finalized the Roadmap to navigate and suggest direction of travel on the role of the ccNSO with respect to mitigation of DNS Abuse . The Roadmap was made available before the ccNSO Council 24 February meeting. The Roadmap was developed after extensively exploring the role of the ccNSO in discussions with the ccTLDs and broader community starting at ICANN72, and refining this role at a joint ccNSO Council and community workshop in November 2021. The main elements of the Roadmap are: 1. Sharing of Information Strengthen the platform function of the ccNSO to continuously share information, for instance via dedicated sessions and/or other channels. Build a repository and point of reference for ccTLDs to access relevant, reliable, and actionable information on DNS Abuse. 2. Messaging Identify channels for messaging to be used by the ccNSO and ccTLD community. Develop narratives and a message repository. 3. Metrics Create an overview of existing metrics. Invite ccTLDs to share metrics (directly, through DAAR or in any other way). 4. DNS Abuse Steering Committee (DASC) The creation of a steering committee, which focuses on information sharing, capacity building and assisting in developing (best) practices, monitoring, and addressing DNS abuse incidents. Each of these elements will be introduced and developed in the course of the upcoming year. The roadmap was presented to the ccTLD and broader community at ICANN73 and the ccNSO Council notes that the sense of the ccTLD Managers who attended the session is supportive of the proposed Roadmap, with the caveat that the Terms of Reference of the DASC need to clearly state that the Committee should be very cautious in liaising with external parties and definitely not be mandated to represent the ccNSO, ccNSO members or individual ccTLDs. The ccTLD and broader community was again informed that the ccNSO has by definition no role in developing policy in this area, and will only undertake activities in support of and to strengthen local and regional initiatives and activities in this area of ccTLD Managers. Decision The ccNSO Council taking into account the community support adopts the Roadmap as proposed and thanks the ccNSO ad-hoc group ccNSO & DNS Abuse for its hard work. The Council requests the secretariat to publish the Roadmap on the ccNSO website, and inform the community accordingly. This decision becomes effective seven (7) days after its publication. * Adoption Terms of Reference DASC and call for volunteers For Information 1. Chair and Vice-Chair Election * Chair Election Draft Resolution Decision In accordance with the temporary procedure to select its chair and vice-chairs, adopted on 24 February 2022, Alejandra Reynoso (.gt) was duly nominated and seconded as Chair of the ccNSO, and accepted her nomination and the ccNSO Council elects Alejandra to serve as its chair starting at the end of the Council meeting of ICANN73 until the end of ICANN76.

Both the Governance Session as well as the ccNSO DNS Abuse Session will use a new method of live polling, to engage the broader ccTLD community. To ensure unique input by ccTLDs only, the ccNSO Secretariat will share a Mentimeter-link on the ccNSO members mailing list and ccTLD community mailing list, closer to the session. This “temperature of the room-procedure” should not be interpreted as, nor does it replace, a formal vote or other formal expression of preference. To ensure a meaningful discussion, we advise you to become familiar with the materials prior to the sessions. Further information is included below. ICANN73 ccNSO DNS Abuse Session Tuesday, 8 March 2022 | 14:30 – 16:00 UTC https://73.schedule.icann.org/meetings/M85ruyCdjvoh7qpuk [73.schedule.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/73.schedule.icann.org/meetings/M85ruyCdj…> A ccNSO ad hoc committee under auspices of the ccNSO Council seeks your feedback on the proposed Roadmap [ccnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ccnso.icann.org/en/about/roadmap-ccnso-d…> for the ccNSO and DNS Abuse. This session builds on previous work during ICANN72 and a subsequent workshop, when ccTLDs and the broader community suggested areas the ccNSO should get involved in with respect to DNS Abuse. The ad hoc committee started working on a proposed roadmap, in line with the ccNSO role, aiming to create useful resources that ccTLD managers can make use of as they wish, on a voluntary basis. During ICANN73, the ad hoc Committee will present the roadmap, consult the ccTLDs present, and discuss next steps. Depending on community feedback, the ccNSO Council will discuss the adoption of the roadmap during their meeting on Thursday, 10 March 2022. Implementation would kick off after ICANN73, with the launch of a call for volunteers, to create the ccNSO DNS Abuse Standing Committee (DASC). Ahead of the session, the proposed Roadmap as well as the Draft Charter by the DASC [ccnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ccnso.icann.org/en/about/ccnso-dns-abuse…> were shared on the ccNSO and ccTLD mailing lists.

Voting is expected to begin after ICANN73. The new Rules will have a direct impact on the governance structure of the ccNSO, specifically on the respective roles of the ccNSO Council and ccNSO membership. A heads up about the upcoming vote, information about the process that led to the new proposed rules, some frequently asked questions and answers, next steps and a copy of the new proposed rules was shared previously on the ccNSO and ccTLD mailing lists, and posted on the ccNSO website. Read more here [ccnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ccnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announc…>. Secondly, the GRC will launch the discussion on Conflict of Interest (COI) procedures for the ccNSO. The aim of the consultation is to be informed about established ways, suggestions and practices to avoid, and to seek input from the broader ccTLD community. After evaluation of the session, future further consultations are expected. To attend any of the sessions, please register [73.schedule.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/73.schedule.icann.org/__;!!PtGJab4!vlO9A…> for ICANN73.
