Adoption Charter ccNSO Policy Gap Analysis Working Group * Adoption of Charter Draft Resolution Background In July 2023 a small group of Councillors started taking stock of potential gaps in the policies pertaining to the delegation, transfer, revocation and retirement policies and related IANA practices and how to address them. The initial findings of the Ad-Hoc Group were shared with the ccNSO Council at the Council workshop and to the broader community during ICANN78 in Hamburg. To raise community awareness around the issues identified the Ad-Hoc Group introduced a series of hypotheticals and discussed these with the community during ICANN79 in San Juan. As a result of these meetings and further consideration of the issues at stake the Ad-Hoc Group advised Council to mandate and establish a working group to further analyze the issues at stake and involve the broader community in this work.
