Election Notice: Board Seat 12
by Joke Braeken Nov. 6, 2023

Nov. 6, 2023

Election Notice: Board Seat 12 https://ccnso.icann.org/en/about/nominations.htm Dear ccNSO members, This is to inform you about the forthcoming ICANN Board seat 12 election. The election will start on Tuesday, 7 November 2023 (00:01 UTC) – and will close on Tuesday, 28 November 2023 (23:59 UTC), according to the timeline previously adopted by the ccNSO Council. Following the call for nominations, one candidate was nominated: Katrina Sataki. The nomination was seconded, and Katrina accepted the nomination. Katrina submitted her candidate statement <https://ccnso.icann.org/en/workinggroups/sataki-statement-21aug23-en.pdf> to the ccNSO. The due diligence or background check was concluded without identifying any issues or concerns. Katrina was interviewed and answered questions from the ccNSO members and broader ccTLD community at a ICANN78 Question-and-Answer session, held on 26 October 2023. The recording of the session is published here<https://sched.co/1T4M3>. Even though there is only one candidate, an election will still be held, as per the relevant guideline<https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/ccnso-nomination…>. The election is for one (1) seat. 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(s) of said election(s) shall in turn be nominated by a majority vote of the ccNSO Council to the ICANN Board seat(s). Election opening and closing Voting starts Tuesday, 7 November 2023 (00:01 UTC) and closes on Tuesday, 28 November 2023 (23:59 UTC), according to the timeline previously agreed by the ccNSO Council. Ballots Voting ballots will be sent latest on Monday, 6 November 2023 by 23:00 UTC, from tally(a)icann.org<mailto:tally@icann.org> to the e-mail address of the Emissary of each ccNSO Member, as listed in the ccNSO Members database. As per the October 2022 Rules<https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/internal-members…> of the ccNSO, the Emissary is the Representative selected by the ccTLD Manager in accordance with Section 10.4(e) of the ICANN Bylaws for the purpose of voting in the specific cases enumerated in Article 10 & Annex B of the ICANN Bylaws and the Internal Rules and Internal Procedures of the ccNSO. Each eligible Emissary will receive one (1) unique ballot. The ccNSO currently counts 177 members, corresponding to 175 Territories, and therefor 175 Emissaries. Do you have questions or concerns regarding the email address of the Emissary for your Territory? Contact the Nomination Process Manager, Joke Braeken (joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org>). If you are unable to locate the ballot, please consider checking your spam folder. The ballot will include two options: the name of the candidate and "None of the Above". The latter option was added after ccNSO members expressed the need for such an option. When selecting "None of the above", a ccTLD Manager believes that the candidate listed is not qualified to serve on the ICANN Board of Directors Election Procedure Each Emissary can vote an unlimited number of times, but only the last vote submitted will be counted. When the results are displayed, the votes are only identified by the ballot ID, and not by the voter's email address. There is no quorum requirement for this voting. As per section 3.7 of the applicable guideline<https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/ccnso-nomination…>: “The Candidate(s) that receive(s the plurality of the votes cast by the ccNSO members, shall be the Candidate(s) who is(are) elected to be nominated by the ccNSO Council. If the plurality of the votes cast is “None of the Above” the Nomination Process shall be terminated and section 3.9 applies”. In the event of a tied vote, a run-off election vote or votes will be held as per the timeline adopted by the ccNSO Council. Next steps The election closes on Tuesday, 28 November 2023 (23:59 UTC). The Nomination Process Manager will announce the voting result on Wednesday, 29 November 2023 (latest by 23:59 UTC). The Nomination Process Manager will include the voting result as well as potential issues and events related to this specific Nomination Process in a Nomination Report. This report will be submitted to the ccNSO Council for adoption before or by the January 2024 Council meeting. With adoption of the Nomination report, the Nomination Process will close and the Empowered Community Administration (ECA) and ICANN's Secretary will be notified of the results of the Nomination Process accordingly.

Nov. 3, 2023

Greetings all. I presume some of you are aware of the recently initiated effort on behalf of the Chagos Refugees Group (https://thechagosrefugeesgroup.com/) to force a transfer of .io to them (see https://domainincite.com/29173-group-to-seek-io-tld-takeover-after-oecd-hum… for Kevin Murphy’s take on this.) The prevailing view on a forced transfer of a ccTLD is established in Weinstein vs. The Islamic Republic of Iran, et. al.

Move? notes missing Second? notes missing no questions Abstain or object? none Resolution adopted b. Review and update, if necessary, Council roles & responsibilities. Background - It was agreed during meeting 198 to further discuss the need for exchange of liaisons with the GNSO registry Stakeholder Group. Depending on the way Council intends to organise this (either as a role at the level of Council, or through non-Councillors) the role(s) will be listed in the overview of roles and responsibilities of Councillors or as an external appointment. In addition check whether the current roles and responsibilities of Councillors needs to be adjusted. Alejandra: * liaisons per topic? e.g. abuse * general liaison? we agreed during the workshop that this was a good idea. any volunteers? Chris: i started having a chat with the leadership. good to have a chat with their and our leadership teams to discuss how to do that Alejandra: ok 20. Requested input and guidance ccNSO on WS 2 Accountability recommendation 2.3 David: I have been working on the WS2 coordination group. Community-wide framework on raising certain issues. Good faith, related to board member removal. The group asked to raise this with our communities. We pushed this off to January or later this year. standardised framework to raise issues to the ECA Best way to address this: council looks at the questions. GRC to discuss. Alejandra: GRC to look into this. if you agree, i will inform ICANN org David: spoke with staff support. They understood we would not be responding immediately, but will take it up in due course. 21. Review and feed-back on ICANN proposal to retire recommendations from reviews and proposal to establish a cross community group. At the latest SO/AC chair roundtable, the chairs of the SOs/ACs were requested to provide feedback from their respective communities on a proposed procedure to retire Board adopted recommendations from Reviews, which after certain passing of time have not been implemented. The second proposal is the creation of CCG to develop a continuous improvement framework as suggested by ATRT3. Alejandra: concern that this forum is being used to gather input from the community. it complicated the process. a. ICANN proposal to retire review recommendations b. ICANN proposal to establish a cross community group continuous improvement Sean: Open Space Technology as a good methodology. Maybe even PDPs would benefit from an open space session at the beginning. Irina: the proposals require detailed investigation. proposal “a” looks reasonable. proposal “b”: i do not agree with all 4 tasks mentioned. Alejandra: David, what is your view? Seen your experience in CCWG? David: this group is the first cross-community coordination group. it has been deliberate, and somewhat slow. Good, but also thanks to excellent staff support. there are various interests represented by all SO/ACs. takes time. Reasonable approach. but our challenge these days is prioritisation. Move? Tatiana Second? Jenifer Abstain: Sean (as it is a GRC matter) resolution adopted. 22. RSS GWG | Request for comments for “Governance Principles for the Root Server System” The ccNSO appointed members of the Root Server System Working Group (Luis Diego Espinoza and Peter Koch) have requested feedback and guidance of Council which they could relate to the Working group on the Governance Principles for the Root Server System” Peter: I am one of the 2 appointees to the RSS WG. Group to design the future structure of the RSS. Group came up with principles. Those are the guard rails for the working group in future. RSS WG seeks input from the respective SO/ACs. Luis to add additional comments in writing, if he wishes to do so. This is an informal consultation. Not a public comment. I seek Councils’ guidance on how to move forward. Happy to also set up a follow-up meeting, potentially with community members my recommendation would be to go ahead. However, it is important to review the proposals before you decide Jiankang: this is very important work. suggests for the appointees to have a bi-monthly report about the activities to council and/or community. Peter: request for more regular updates. the meetings are open to all. interim documents are accessible. understanding that an update is different from that. long debates and discussions which resulted in the principles. preference to first think about the principles before we move to further updates Chris: deadline for comments? Peter: not a formal consultation. need to check the deadline. Alejandra: any concerns? anything that requires closer attention? Peter: this is about accountability and future decision-making. no specific concerns regarding any one of those principles Irina: question to Peter. important work to progress further. how about presenting it to the overal ccTLD community? does it make sense in the future? Peter: good question. RSS GWG will engage in future too. progress is slow. avoid having a session every time will cause the process to move very slow. We need to sync timings for such sessions. but we need your feedback sooner. Alejandra: request to Peter and Luis to confirm deadline for feedback. 23.
