Latest news from the ccNSO Meetings Programme Committee
by Joke Braeken July 21, 2022

July 21, 2022

Dear All, At its ICANN74 meeting, the ccNSO Council appointed a new leadership team of the ccNSO Meetings Programme Committee (MPC<https://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/mpwg.htm>). Everton Rodrigues (.br) succeeds Barbara Povse (.si) as Chair of the MPC, whereas Guðrun Poulsen (.fo) was re-confirmed as MPC Vice Chair. Looking back at ICANN74 One of the first actions the new leadership team undertook together with the MPC members, was to evaluate the community feedback received regarding the ccNSO Members meeting and ccNSO sessions at the ICANN74 Policy Forum, held 13-16 June 2022 in The Hague. The MPC surveyed attendees online — both about what they found missing and what they found uniquely attractive. ICANN74 marked the first hybrid ICANN public meeting since the start of the covid-19 pandemic. The overall feedback provided via the satisfaction survey and otherwise was positive: The audience largely appreciated the topics covered, the overall session flow and the hybrid format of the meeting, recognising its limitations and elements for improvement. The MPC appreciates the feedback provided by survey respondents: your input is valuable, and helps in shaping future ccNSO Member Meetings. The overall goal is to ensure that the ccNSO programme meets the expectations of the ccTLD community. The MPC is exploring the organisation of a public post-meeting evaluation for ICANN75, open to all interested. Consult the ICANN74 satisfaction survey results here<https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-2i2n4BplGAXMrcPTP3FcRQ_3D_3D/>. Preparing for ICANN75 The MPC is currently preparing the ccNSO programme for the ICANN75 Annual General Meeting held 17-22 September in Kuala Lumpur. Potential topics for discussion at ICANN75 include, among others, a session on the role of the ccNSO with respect to Universal Acceptance, a session on ccNSO policy development, as well as a discussion on legislation on geographical indicators and the impact on ccTLDs. Moreover, the MPC is pleased to announce the return of the popular ccTLD News Sessions as part of the ICANN Meeting schedule. Details about the sessions at ICANN75 will become available on the ccNSO workspace<https://community.icann.org/x/ooNJD> prior to the meeting. Stay tuned for further ccNSO announcements, including calls for presentation proposals. Best regards, Joke Braeken joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org>

The Supporting Organizations shall ensure that, at any given time, no two Directors nominated by a Supporting Organization are citizens from the same country or of countries located in the same Geographic Region. For purposes of this Section 7.2(c), if any candidate for Director maintains citizenship or Domicile of more than one country, that candidate may be deemed to be from either country and must select in his or her Statement of Interest the country of citizenship or Domicile that he or she wants the Supporting Organization or the At-Large Community, as applicable, to use for nomination purposes. For purposes of this Section 7.2(c), a person can only have one Domicile, which shall be determined by where the candidate has a permanent residence and place of habitation." Katrina Sataki, occupying Board Seat 12, has her domicile in Latvia, EU-region. * Employment by a ccTLD As per 3.4 of the ccNSO Guideline: ccNSO Nominations process ICANN Board seats 11 and 12<https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/ccnso-nomination…> : "Candidates are not required to be employed by a ccTLD in order to be able to be nominated, but if there is an employment or other relationship, that should be disclosed by the candidate as part of their Candidate Statement." Accepting nominations and due diligence verifications After closure of the nomination period, the Nomination Process Manager will ascertain whether the nominee(s) formally accept their nomination(s). The deadline to accept nominations is 15 August 2022 (23:59 UTC). On Tuesday, 16 August 2022 (latest by 23:59 UTC), the Nomination Process Manager shall provide a list with the name(s) of the candidate(s) who have accepted their nomination. Also, a record of who has nominated and seconded the candidate(s)<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ccnso-boardnominations/> is publicly available. By acceptance of the nomination, a nominee warrants, is aware of, and consents to: * The Country of Citizenship or Domicile included in the nomination form; * Not to hold a position as an official of a national government or a multinational entity (section 7.4 (a) of the ICANN Bylaws<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article7>; * Section 7.4 (b) of the ICANN Bylaws;<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article7> * Section 7.4 (d) of the ICANN Bylaws;<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article7> * Fully cooperate to undergo a due diligence screening by an external provider, which includes providing necessary consent to ICANN to transmit personal data to the due diligence provider. Candidates need to be aware that they will be approached by the external due diligence provider to sign a consent form before the actual due diligence will begin. The scope of this background check is described in: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-uniform-board-integrit…. In the event a candidate does not provide consent or rescinds the consent to undergo the due diligence process, the Council will be informed, and the candidacy of that person will be ended. After completion of the due diligence process, the Chair of the ccNSO Council will be informed of the outcome and inform the Council (with the exception of potential candidate(s) who are Councillor), i.e., only whether concerns have surfaced, which warrant further consideration and decisions. Candidate Statements The Nomination Process Manager will ask candidate(s) to provide a written candidate statement. A virtual Q&A session with the candidate(s) will be held in the end October/start November timeframe, post ICANN75. The Q&A session gives the ccNSO members and broader ccTLD community an opportunity to interact with the candidates. In preparation of the Q&A session, the written candidate statements will be posted on the ccNSO website. Elections Bylaw Article 10 – Section 10.3 (i)<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article10> states: "(i) The ccNSO Council shall nominate individuals to fill Seats 11 and 12 on the Board by written ballot or by action at a meeting; any such nomination must have affirmative votes of a majority of all the members of the ccNSO Council then in office. Notification of the ccNSO Council's nominations shall be given by the ccNSO Council Chair in writing to the EC Administration, with a copy to the Secretary, and the EC shall promptly act on it as provided in Section 7.25." Even if there is only one candidate that accepted nomination for ICANN Board seat number 11, an election will be held, to allow the ccNSO members to either cast their vote for the candidate, or to select the option "none of the above". The ccNSO Council and ccNSO members have agreed that the ccNSO members shall propose and elect candidates for the two ICANN Board seats allocated to the ccNSO, and that the winner of said election - i.e. the candidate that receives the majority of the votes cast - shall in turn be nominated to the ICANN Board seat by a majority vote of the ccNSO Council. The timeline for the elections is posted in the links-section below: further instructions will be provided by the Nomination Process Manager closer to the start of the elections, in November 2022.
