Heads up: ICANN76 Governance Session materials are out now
by Joke Braeken March 8, 2023

March 8, 2023

Dear All, The ccNSO Guidelines Review Committee (GRC) seeks your feedback on the proposal regarding the ccNSO Statement of Interest (SOI) procedure for ccNSO community members who participate in ccNSO working groups or committees. You are invited to review the enclosed materials, and to participate in the ccNSO Members Meeting Governance Session at ICANN76<https://community.icann.org/x/kYYFDQ> to discuss the proposals and next steps. Ahead of the session, your feedback in response to this email is welcomed. During the session, we will use Zoom polling. ABOUT THE ICANN76 GOVERNANCE SESSION. The focus of the ICANN76 Governance Session will be to seek input from the ccTLD community on the proposed ccNSO Statement of Interest (SOI) procedure for ccNSO community members who participate in ccNSO working groups or committees and inform about the ccNSO Conflict of Interest (COI) procedure for Council. In addition to the SOI/COI discussions, the committee chair Sean Copeland (.vi) will have a fireside chat with Marika Konings (VP, Policy Development Support) and Karen Lentz (VP, Policy Research and Stakeholder Programs) about the ccNSO role with respect to the implementation of policies developed through a ccNSO Policy Development Process. SOI: WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? During previous ccNSO Governance Sessions during ICANN Public meetings, the ccNSO explored potential ccNSO COI and SOI procedures, and their impact. Based on community input received and consultations with other supporting organisations and ICANN org, the GRC developed a plan which will be presented during the ccNSO Members Meeting Governance Session at ICANN76<https://community.icann.org/x/kYYFDQ>. The GRC proposes a lightweight and meaningful SOI for active members and participants in the community. Highlights are listed below, and further details are enclosed, for your review and comments. After ICANN75, the GRC reflected on the language of the SOI template, and is now bringing forward a Positive Disclosure process to promote trust and transparency. If adopted, it will apply to members and participants in ccNSO working groups and committees. As new working groups are created, it will become part of the administrative announcements to enquire about changes to a person’s SOI. Similarly, if needed, active members will be asked to update their SOI annually using a web form or other methods. WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS? During ICANN76, the GRC will present the proposals, consult with attending ccTLDs, and discuss next steps. Depending on community feedback, the ccNSO Council will discuss the proposals during their meeting on Thursday, 16 March 2022. HOW TO PROVIDE YOUR FEEDBACK? Between now and ICANN76, the ad hoc committee also welcomes your feedback on the ccNSO members mailing list. Join the discussion during the upcoming Governance Session, held on Tuesday, 14 March 2023 | 20:00-21:00 UTC (15:00-16:00 local). To attend, please register<https://76.schedule.icann.org/> for ICANN76. Zoom participation links will be available 24 hours prior to session start times. Session materials and recordings will be available on the ICANN76 website as well. During the session, we will use polling, to collect feedback from the ccNSO Members and broader ccTLD community.

proposed Roadmap for the ccNSO and Universal Acceptance available for comments
by Joke Braeken March 6, 2023

March 6, 2023

Dear All, A ccNSO ad hoc committee under auspices of the ccNSO Council seeks your feedback on the proposed Roadmap for the ccNSO and Universal Acceptance (UA). You are invited to review the enclosed materials, and to participate in the ccNSO Members Meeting Universal Acceptance Session at ICANN76<ccNSO%20Members%20Meeting%20session%20at%20ICANN76> to discuss the roadmap and next steps. Ahead of the session, your feedback in response to this email is welcomed. During the session, we will use Zoom polling. What is this about? Universal Acceptance is cornerstone to a digitally inclusive and multilingual Internet, ensuring all domain names and email addresses – in any language, script, or using any new or long TLD – are accepted equally by all Internet-enabled applications, devices, and systems. The ccNSO previously explored its potential role in Universal Acceptance. To that end, it organized a session during ICANN75 where both ccTLDs and other stakeholders suggested activities the ccNSO could undertake to complement existing work by the Internet community. In December 2022 and January 2023, ccTLD representatives participated in two workshops to further explore their expectations regarding potential ccNSO action and how to organize next efforts. After the conclusion of the workshops, the ccNSO Council did an impact-effort analysis and developed a plan which will be presented during a ccNSO Members Meeting session at ICANN76<https://community.icann.org/x/kYYFDQ>. ccNSO Council discussed the draft roadmap during its February meeting and tasked the ad hoc committee to seek ccTLD community feedback at and around ICANN76. Roadmap highlights The proposed roadmap is aligned with the ccNSO role. The ad hoc committee proposes three actions. Highlights are listed below, and further details are enclosed, for your review and comments. 1. Activate the UASG liaison The ccNSO has appointed a liaison to the Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG). This liaison will regularly inform the ccNSO through its Council what is happening in the UASG and vice-versa. 2. Create a ccNSO UA committee The ccNSO should create a dedicated committee. In its activities, the Committee focuses on the following core elements, to benefit ccTLDs: * Assist in organizing sessions on UA readiness and practices, e.g. at Tech Day or during ccNSO Members Meetings. * Liaise with other relevant ICANN groups (e.g. UASG, GAC IDN WG, Board IDN/UA WG), and incorporate the role of the ccNSO appointed UASG liaison. * Coordinate with interested ccTLDs to share IDN/UA readiness case studies and working models, to highlight and share knowledge on current practices in IDN support and UA readiness * Provide a report repository on Email Address Internationalistion (EAI) adoption in ccTLD zones This initiative requires an active role of its volunteers. It provides an avenue for the community to interact across regions and with other groups under the ICANN umbrella. 3. Explore further actions Once the committee was created and its activities are well-established, the next step would be to explore whether other proposed activities would add value to the community and - if so - how best to organise them. Such an assessment should include a community consultation. To further explore the suggested actions the committee should at a minimum address whether the benefits of the proposed activities outweigh the efforts needed to implement and maintain such an activity and whether the ccNSO is the best positioned group to do so, taking into account the strategic framework of the ccNSO (Annex 1 in: https://ccnso.icann.org/about/adopted-work-prioritisation-approach-07jul22-…) What are the next steps? During ICANN76, the ad hoc committee under auspices of the ccNSO Council will present the roadmap, consult with attending ccTLDs, and discuss next steps. Depending on community feedback, the ccNSO Council will discuss the adoption of the roadmap during their meeting on Thursday, 16 March 2022. Implementation would kick off after ICANN76, with the launch of a call for volunteers, to create the ccNSO UA Committee. UA is a hot topic for many, and it cuts across various sessions and initiatives. Here are some of the sessions at ICANN76 where UA-related matters will be discussed: * Tuesday, 28 February | Community Update on Universal Acceptance<https://icann76.sched.com/> * Monday, 13 March | Tech Day<https://community.icann.org/display/ccnsowkspc/Tech+Day+%7C+13+March+2023+-…> * Tuesday, 14 March (14:00 UTC) | ICANN Fellows and NextGen: Focus on Universal Acceptance<https://icann76.sched.com/> * Tuesday, 14 March (20:00 UTC) | Promoting Universal Acceptance through Local Engagement<https://icann76.sched.com/> * Wednesday, 15 March (14:00 UTC) | ccNSO Members Meeting: ccNSO & UA Session<https://sched.co/1J2Mf> * Wednesday, 15 March (18:15 UTC) | Universal Acceptance: New Internationalized Email Self Certification Guide Overview<https://icann76.sched.com/> * Thursday, 16 March (18:15 UTC) | ccNSO Council Meeting<https://sched.co/1J2Mr> How to provide your feedback? Join us on Wednesday, 15 March (18:15 UTC, 09:00 local time in Cancun) for a session on ccNSO & UA. During this session, the ad hoc committee will present the proposed roadmap and seek your input. To attend, please register<https://76.schedule.icann.org/> for ICANN76. Please note that participation links will be available 24 hours prior to session start times. Session materials and recordings will be available on the ICANN76 website as well. During the session, we will use polling, to collect feedback from the ccNSO Members and broader ccTLD community. Between now and ICANN76, the ad hoc committee also welcomes your feedback on the ccNSO members mailing list.

REMINDER: Kick-off of FY25 Planning Process These are requests for Strategic Outlook trend identification session participation and upcoming nominations for Planning Prioritization Group Members ICANN is kicking off the FY25 Planning Cycle, beginning with the strategic outlook trend program. Community members can participate in trend identification sessions through their Supporting Organization (SO) or Advisory Committee (AC). ICANN will collaborate with SO and AC chairs and support teams to schedule sessions in March and April 2023. This program is a joint effort of ICANN org, community, and Board to identify and track trends that are related to ICANN. This ensures that these opportunities and challenges are incorporated into current and future planning. Every year, new trends or shifts in existing trends impacting the operating plans (five-year or annual) and/or budget are factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate. Significant shifts could also result in adjustments to the strategic plan. Once complete, ICANN org will conduct a trend analysis and impact assessment. 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. Additionally, we will begin the FY25 Planning Prioritization Process in April. The Planning Prioritization Group will comprise members from the ICANN stakeholder groups as listed below. The stakeholder group leadership will be asked to nominate one primary member and one secondary member to participate in the prioritization process. Nominations will be due by the end of March by emailing planning(a)icann.org, with a copy to the Policy Strategic Management team (policy-strat-mgt(a)icann.org) ASO - Address Supporting Organization ALAC - At-Large Advisory Committee GNSO/CSG - Commercial Stakeholder Group GNSO/CPH - Contracted Party House GNSO/NCSG - Noncommercial Stakeholder Group ccNSO - Country Code Names Supporting Organization GAC - Governmental Advisory Committee RSSAC - Root Server System Advisory Committee SSAC - Security and Stability Advisory Committee Thank you for your support in the ICANN planning process.
