Selecting an Alternate for CSC members
by Bart Boswinkel Aug. 19, 2023

Aug. 19, 2023

Dear all, As you will recall the CSC Effectiveness Review Team advised the CSC member appointing organizations to appoint one alternate (to be able to step in if one of the two appointed members is not able to attend a meeting). Currently the appointment of alternates is not considered in any Guideline. This may be a new topic for the GRC to develop and consider. However up and until a proposal has been developed and adopted by you, there is no procedure to call for an alternate and select one. Assuming you will want to appoint an alternate to ensure the voice of ccTLDs is always represented to the largest extent possible, and create potential pool of people who may be interested to serve on the CSC at one point, I foresee two alternative mechanisms: 1. Under the last call for expression of interest, three persons put their name forward. Frederico was selected by you, which leaves the two other candidates. The suggestion is to ask the person who was ranked 2nd by you to serve as an alternate for Brett and Frederico, starting 1 October and ending 30 September 2024. 2. Send out a call for volunteers to serve as the ccNSO appointed alternate on the CSC starting 1 October2023 until 30 September 2024, assuming a relevant Guideline will be updated by then. This person will be selected using the standard call for volunteers, selection method. From a staff perspective we advise you to go for option 1, easiest to implement and provides an opportunity to learn how to work with alternates, both from a ccNSO and CSC. Perspective. Please advise on the preferred method by 23 August 23.59 UTC, preferably on list. Thanks you, kind regards, Bart

Candidate ICANN Board Seat 12
by Joke Braeken Aug. 17, 2023

Aug. 17, 2023

Dear All, On Wednesday, 9 August 2023 (23:59 UTC), the recent call for nominations for the position of ICANN Board seat 12 was closed. In accordance with the applicable rules, the following candidate was nominated, seconded and has accepted her nomination: Katrina Sataki. Katrina is the only candidate. She accepted her nomination, and due diligence verifications will be starting shortly. As per the relevant guideline and the timeline previously agreed upon by the ccNSO Council, an election will still be held, even if there is only one candidate. 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 plurality of the votes cast – shall in turn be nominated to the ICANN Board seat by a majority vote of the ccNSO Council. The election will start 28 November 2023 (23:59 UTC), after completion of the due diligence verifications and an opportunity for the ccNSO membership to interact with Katrina. The ballot will include two options: the name of candidate and "None of the Above". The latter option was added after ccNSO members expressed the need for such an option. A Question & Answer session<https://community.icann.org/x/K4LxDg> will be held during ICANN78, prior to the start of the election. This Q&A session will provide the ccNSO members and broader ccTLD community an opportunity to interact with the candidate. In preparation of this session, the candidate was invited to share a written candidate statement. Please find it enclosed.

Internet Governance roadmap
by Jordan Carter Aug. 17, 2023

Aug. 17, 2023

Dear Council colleagues, I want to share auDA's Internet Governance Roadmap, which we launched yesterday - you can find it on our Internet governance and public policy page (link below). We also published a blog post<https://www.auda.org.au/blog/launching-audas-internet-governance-roadmap> about the Roadmap, which links to our blogs on WSIS+20 and the GDC. The Roadmap sets out some of the current Internet governance challenges as we see them and proposes some actions to help address these. Among other things, we argue that it's incredibly important for the internet community to raise its voice to shape the future of internet governance. Otherwise, decisions in other places will simply get made without us. We see the Roadmap as our contribution to the global conversation in the lead up to the Summit of the Future/GDC and WSIS+20. We don't everyone to agree with everything in it but we hope it will help generate discussion and debate, and maybe inspire others to share their ideas. We'd love to hear your views. Best wishes Jordan https://www.auda.org.au/about-auda/internet-governance-and-public-policy

Dear All, I am forwarding an email on behalf of David McAuley, lead of the ccNSO DNS Abuse Standing Committee (DASC) Repository subgroup. Best regards, Joke = = = Dear ccNSO Community, As mentioned at ICANN77, the ccNSO DNS Abuse Standing Committee’s Repository Subgroup has made available a repository of useful links for ccTLD managers as they seek information in addressing DNS Abuse.

You can see the repository here: https://community.icann.org/x/Ege7Cg The links come under four headings: · Presentations and reports. · Articles or commentaries. · Tools, and, · Definitions and policies. This is new and we intend to build upon it. We hope that the ccNSO community will contribute suggestions for further inclusion as we endeavor to create a place that benefits members and ccTLD managers in maintaining safe and effective TLDs. Please see https://community.icann.org/x/DoWZDg for information on submitting suggestions. Best regards.
