Dec. 4, 2024

https://ccnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-11nov24-en.htm You are cordially invited to attend a consultation session, held on Wednesday, 4 December 2024 at 14 UTC. This session is held under the auspices of the ccNSO DNS Abuse Standing Committee (DASC) in collaboration with the ICANN Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO). The session aims to inform ccTLDs globally about ICANN's Metrica initial release and consult ccTLDs on the inclusion of data specific to ccTLDs. When? Wednesday, 4 December 2024 at 14 UTC Pre-register here: https://bit.ly/4hoXoro ABOUT METRICA | ICANN Domain Metrica is a measurement platform that aims to provide various sets of information about domain names, domain name registration, usage and behavior.

FW: Summary Notes & Next Steps: ICANN81 SOAC Chairs Roundtable
by Bart Boswinkel Dec. 4, 2024

Dec. 4, 2024

Dear all, Please find included the notes from the SOAC Roundtable in Istanbul. Jodi Anderson from .nz and Molehe have been asked to become member and alternate of the group. As the next Council meeting is scheduled next week ( 12 December), their formal appointment will be an item on the agenda. By then staff is expected to have circulated the draft terms of reference for the group as well, Kind regards, Bart Subject: [Team-Leaders] Summary Notes & Next Steps: ICANN81 SOAC Chairs Roundtable Dear SOAC Chairs, Thank you again for your time and the very constructive discussion at the ICANN81 Roundtable last Friday. I am pleased to attach the Summary Notes for your reference and circulation to your membership, as you wish. To elaborate on the action items, ICANN org proposes distributing a draft project charter to you for your review by early December, followed by a draft “strawman” proposal before mid-December. Considering the relatively tight timeframe we have between now and ICANN82, and the likelihood that that many people will be taking time off between late December and early January, this will allow us to work with you on two parallel tracks; i.e., SOAC Chairs’ approval of the project charter, and formation of a group to discuss the “strawman” proposals. In that regard, we hope it will be possible for each of the SOACs to propose participants for the group by Monday 2 December. Based on the Roundtable discussion, our understanding is that the group should be small, perhaps comprising 7-8 participants (each with an alternate to facilitate participation and timely progress). In addition to familiarity with ICANN meeting planning, participants should be able to commit their time for the duration of the project, to ensure the group meets the intended deadline of ICANN82 for a set of proposals to be presented to the community. Please let Sally and me know if you have further thoughts or suggestions. We look forward to working with you and the planned community group on this project! Thanks and cheers Mary

https://ccnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-02dec24-en.htm Dear All, To streamline the management of ccNSO membership and ensure compliance with applicable laws, the ccNSO will soon be using ICANN's new Community Engagement System (CES) to manage stakeholder participation. This unified platform will enhance collaboration and improve efficiency in how we engage with the ccNSO community. To facilitate the transfer and to ensure that data is processed in compliance with applicable laws, we ask you to create and maintain a personal ICANN Account if you do not already have one. Read more: https://account.icann.org/help If you already have an ICANN Account (e.g. for registering at ICANN meetings), please login<https://account.icann.org/login> to your ICANN Account using the email address that you use for your ccNSO work and verify that your profile is up to date. If you do not have an ICANN Account or are unsure, please create an ICANN Account<https://account.icann.org/> at your earliest convenience. This simple action on your part will help ensure a smooth transition to managing ccNSO membership through CES, while also ensuring that personal data related to ccNSO participation is processed in compliance with privacy regulations. For more information, please refer to the ICANN Privacy Policy<https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy> and our Terms of Service<https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos>, which outline how ICANN and the ccNSO secretariat, handle data and govern the use of our online platforms and services. The role of the ccTLD Emissaries and Representatives is defined in the ICANN bylaws (Article 10, Section 10.4(e)<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article10>). Thank you for your cooperation. Please contact the ccNSO Secretariat if you have questions. Best regards, Joke Braeken joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org>
