ccPDP3-RM vote: status update and reminder to please vote
by Joke Braeken May 3, 2023

May 3, 2023

Dear ccNSO Members, This is a status update regarding the current vote, as well as a kind reminder to please vote. Voting closes on Tuesday, 9 May 2023 (23:59 UTC). With one week to go, 84 out of 173 Emissaries have cast their ballots. At least 50% of the Emissaries (87) need to lodge their votes, and at least 66% of the votes cast need to be in favour. Only if the ccNSO Membership votes in favour of the Council recommendation, the policy recommendations will be submitted to the ICANN Board of Directors for their consideration. Vote: status update Total Ballots Cast (including duplicates): 87 Ballots Counted (excluding duplicates): 84 Voters Who Haven't Voted: 89 The ongoing ccNSO vote is to determine whether the ccNSO membership supports the ccNSO Council's recommendation to adopt the proposed policy, which will introduce a review mechanism with respect to decisions pertaining to the delegation, transfer, revocation and retirement of the delegated ccTLDs. It offers ccTLD managers, and applicants for new ccTLDs - as direct customers of the IANA Naming Function - an independent review mechanism for specifically identified IANA Function Operator (IFO) decisions, and it increases the predictability and legitimacy of those decisions. In developing the proposed policy, the ccPDP3 Review Mechanism working group ensured that the following objectives were met: low cost, fast and fundamentally fair.

The ICANN organization regularly updates its strategy for targeted outreach and promotion for the Fellowship Program. SOs/ACs are being asked to provide guidance on diversity goals for the program. These may include, but are not limited to, skills and experience, stakeholder group affiliation, region, gender, and language.

This program is a joint effort of the ICANN ecosystem to identify and track trends that are related to ICANN. This ensures that the opportunities and challenges are incorporated into current and future planning. Once trends are identified, ICANN will conduct a trend analysis and impact assessment. Significant shifts could result in adjustments to the strategic plan. Moreover, new trends or shifts in existing trends also impact the operating plans (five-year or annual) and/or budget, and are factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate. All strategic outlook sessions will be conducted virtually, and community members are encouraged to join this important discussion. We look forward to your participation in this dialogue about ICANN planning and strategy. Thank you for your support in the ICANN planning process. 🔥 ACTION ITEM: Register for the Asia Pacific Domain Name System Forum 2023 ICANN and the Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation (HKIRC) invite interested participants to register for the Asia Pacific (APAC) Domain Name System (DNS) Forum 2023 in Hong Kong, China.
