If either or both of the items identified at 5.2 of the Retirement Policy Recommendations are not within the delegation and transfer exclusion from the IRP, then are the ICANN org and Board to understand that the ccNSO Council, through the Retirement Policy Recommendations, are seeking an additional IRP exclusion from the ICANN Bylaws? To ensure the issue identified by ICANN legal is resolved i.e. it is clarified all matters relating to the delegation, transfer, revocation and retirement are to be excluded from ICANN’s Independent Review Mechanism and Reconsideration process, the ccNSO Council took the initiative to respond and clarify the position of the ccNSO in this matter. By doing so the Council wants to ensure that the Board’s consideration process of the proposed retirement policy will be completed. The final draft of the letter was circulated to the ccNSO Councillors as Document: item 13 meeting 185, letter July 2022. Decision The ccNSO Council suppors the letter Document: item 13 meeting 185, letter July 2022, and requests its chair to send it to: ICANN Legal, the chair of the Ad-Hoc Board Group, preparing the discussion of the proposed policy by the full ICANN Board, ICANN’s CEO and President and the chairs of the ccNSO PDP3 and 4 WGs.

Amendment of Guidelines: 1) ccNSO Board Seat 11 and 12 Nomination Process & 2) Council Election process. The changes of Article 10 and Annex B of the Bylaws have become effective.

Draft responce questions carve-out IRP of proposed retirement policy
by Bart Boswinkel July 12, 2022

July 12, 2022

Dear all, I am emailing you on behalf of Alejandra to seek your comments and input on the included draft letter to Samantha Eisner, ICANN legal. This letter is a response she raised to the Council via the ccNSO PDP3 WG on review mechanism. The question is whether (future) decisions under the proposed retirement policy should be excluded from the ICANN Independent review process (like matters pertaining to delegation and “re-delegations”. Specifically she asked: As there is specific reference in the Retirement Policy Recommendations to the ccPDP-RM in relation to two retirement-related issues, does the ccNSO (emphasis added) consider both retirement issues set out at 5.2 of the Retirement Policy Recommendations as matters relating to delegation and transfer sufficient to both be excluded from the ICANN Independent Review Process? As you will recall, Stephen, in his capacity of chair of the Review Mechanism WG, raised the issue of the question a few times on the Council call and, as you also will recall, Patricio raised this issue during his presentation to the Council on (16 June 2022) on the progress with respect to the Board consideration of the proposed retirement policy. The included draft intends to answer the direct question from Samantha, but will also provide some clarity from a ccNSO perspective on related matters, such as carve-out from the IRP of revocation, need to update the language in the Bylaws to align with the Framework interpretation and extend carve=out of retirement to Reconsideration (section 4.2 of the Bylaws). Next steps. If you have any questions or comments please provide them on the list over the next week (preferably no later than Monday 11 July 17.00 UTC. The document will then be updated, consolidating your comments, and re-circulated. Tomorrow (Tuesday) we will provide the draft also in Google doc format. Goal is to approve the letter at the next council call ( 21 July 2022), however if feasible Alejandra suggests to take an on-line decision before the meeting. Thank you on behalf of Alejandra, Kind regards, Bart
