Best regards, Alejandra ******************************************* Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. Sing like nobody's listening.

As you know, the Board Caucus was formed in June 2024 with three objectives: (i) To evaluate the proposed policy for the (de-)selection of IDN ccTLD and related variants, and provide recommendations to the Board, including through potential dialogue with the ccNSO Council when needed. (ii) To provide strategic advice to ICANN org during the implementation phase of the proposed policy. (iii) To develop a Supplemental Board Statement and engage in subsequent dialogue in the event the Board does not accept the recommendations. Following the closure of the Public Comment period and the solicitation of GAC advice as mandated by ICANN Bylaws, ICANN staff initiated an in-depth analysis of Part A of the Board Report submitted in June 2024. This analysis is intended to support the assessment of implementation feasibility and ensure that ICANN’s understanding and interpretation of the policy recommendations aligns with the ccNSO’s intent. As part of this work, four (4) areas were identified where additional information from the ccNSO would be beneficial to finalize the feasibility assessment for implementing the proposed policy. The additional information is requested using two types of questions: - Requests for Confirmation: The purpose of these requests is to seek confirmation from the ccNSO that ICANN’s understanding and/or interpretation of a specific section is correct and aligns with what the ccNSO intended. - Requests for Clarification: The purpose of these requests is to seek further information or clarification from the ccNSO on a specific topic that is not clear from the language of the Policy. The attached document sets out the questions identified during the process and organized into columns as follows: · Column A: Request number (1 through 4) · Column B: Topic · Column C: Relevant section in the Board Report · Column D: Request · Column E: Open space for ccNSO comments We understand that the ccNSO may require time to respond fully. Based on previous experience with the ccPDP3 Review Mechanism, we believe that discussing these points may help ensure a clear and shared understanding of the ccNSO’s intent and objectives for the ccPDP4 IDN ccTLD Policy. Should the ccNSO have any questions on this matter in the interim, please do not hesitate to contact me. Kindest regards, Patricio Poblete, Chair Board Caucus IDNccPDP4

Request for Community Input on ALAC Rejection Action Petition
by Sean Andrew Copeland June 2, 2026

June 2, 2026

Dear all, First, my apologies for cross-posting. The ALAC has timely filed a Rejection Action Petition regarding the proposed Standard Bylaw Amendment introducing a Transition Article on Specific Reviews (proposed Article 27.6) (https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/standard-bylaws-amendmen…) which would establish a framework governing the continued suspension and future timing of certain Specific Reviews, including ATRT4. Under Annex D of the ICANN Bylaws, ALAC is now seeking support from at least one other Decisional Participant (ASO, ccNSO, GAC, or GNSO) by 8 June 2026 at 23:59 Pacific Time. The ALAC Petition is attached for your reference. Under the current ccNSO Rejection Action Guideline ( https://ccnso-production.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/guide…) the following process applies: Upon receipt of a request from another Decisional Participant to support a Rejection Action Petition, the ccNSO Council and ccTLD community must be notified. This email serves as that notification. Following receipt of the request, members of the ccTLD community may submit their views on whether the ccNSO should become a Supporting Decisional Participant in relation to the ALAC Rejection Action Petition. Please share your views on whether the ccNSO should support the ALAC Petition by Thursday, 4 June 2026, 23:59 Pacific Time (UTC-7). Following the close of the community feedback period, all comments received, if any, will be categorized and summarized. The summary will be circulated to the ccNSO Council. The ccNSO Council will convene by teleconference on Sunday, 7 June 2026, at 12:30 UTC to determine whether the ccNSO should support the ALAC Rejection Action Petition. In reaching its decision, the Council will consider: The feedback, views, and input received from the ccTLD community, if any, and The importance of the matter to the ccTLD community, together with any other factors the Council considers relevant. Should the ccNSO, or another Decisional Participant, support the ALAC Petition, the process will proceed to the next stage as defined in Annex D of the ICANN Bylaws, including a Community Forum. Additional Background The proposed Bylaw amendment was subject to Public Comment. The ccNSO Council did not submit comments. At the time, the Council did not express a preference regarding whether the amendment should proceed and generally viewed the matter as secondary to the broader Review of Reviews work then underway. Kind regards, Sean Copeland ccNSO Rejection Action Process Manager
