Nov. 14, 2022

Dear All, I am sending you a message on behalf of the ccNSO DNS Abuse Standing Committee (DASC) leadership team. Best, Joke +++++ Dear All, The ccNSO DNS Abuse Standing Committee (DASC) recently launched a survey to understand the ccTLD landscape with respect to handling the various aspects of DNS Abuse. Read more here<https://ccnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-20sep22-en.htm>. We have had a great response, with approximately 50 ccTLDs providing their input. On behalf of the DASC, thank you to all who responded. After an initial analysis, the DASC leadership believes that we can do even better and so we have decided to re-launch for an additional 14 days. This will provide even more color and depth to the picture. The survey is therefore re-opened today 14 November 2022 and will close on Monday 28 November 2022, 23.59 UTC. All ccTLDs are kindly invited to participate in the survey. Please share this invite with colleagues within your organisation, as well as peers from the ccTLD community. Your input is valuable, and will guide future work with respect to dealing with DNS Abuse. To complete the survey, please go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DASC0922<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.surveymonkey.com/r/DASC0922__;!!PtGJ…> The survey contains 34 questions in total, divided over 5 phases in the domain name registration process. The survey should take no more than 10 to 15 minutes to complete. After analysis of the results by the DASC, the results will be published on the ccNSO website and presented to the community in Cancun, Mexico, during ICANN76. We again thank those who have already responded and look forward to the responses of others. On behalf of the DASC, Nick Wenban-Smith (DASC Chair) Bruce Tonkin (DASC Vice Chair) Joke Braeken joke.braeken(a)icann.org

REMINDER | request for comments. Revised ccNSO Guidelines: ccNSO Council Election and Board Nomination Procedures
by Joke Braeken Nov. 9, 2022

Nov. 9, 2022

Dear ccNSO members, This is a reminder regarding the request for feedback below. The deadline for submitting your comments is Wednesday, 16 November 2022 (23:59 UTC) Best regards, Joke Braeken joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org> From: Ccnso-council <ccnso-council-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of ccnso-council <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Reply to: Joke Braeken <joke.braeken(a)icann.org> Date: Wednesday, 2 November 2022 at 15:06 To: "ccnso-members(a)icann.org" <ccnso-members(a)icann.org> Cc: ccnso-council <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Subject: [ccnso-council] revised ccNSO Guidelines for your review and comments: ccNSO Council Election and Board Nomination Procedures Dear ccNSO members, On behalf of the ccNSO Guidelines Review Committee (GRC) and the ccNSO Council, I am sending you two proposed revised ccNSO Guidelines for your review and comments: * ccNSO guideline (draft): ccNSO Council Election Procedure * ccNSO guideline (draft): ccNSO Board Nomination Procedure Your action is required Please review the draft guidelines, and send your comments or suggestions to joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org>. For each of the proposed draft guidelines, I have included a .doc and a .pdf version, both as a clean and as a redline version. The deadline for submitting your comments is Wednesday, 16 November 2022 (23:59 UTC) Why are changes needed? The ccNSO Guideline Board Nomination Procedure and the ccNSO Guideline Council Election Procedure are existing guidelines. Both guidelines were recently revised by the ccNSO Guidelines Review Committee (GRC). Changes to both guidelines are necessary, to ensure alignment with the amended Article 10 of the ICANN Bylaws and the updated internal Rules of the ccNSO. In addition, some editorial clarifications are included. In October 2022, GRC sent its proposals to ccNSO Council, for its review and consideration. Council and GRC now seek community input. What are the next steps? Following closure of the comment deadline, GRC will evaluate all input received, and will propose updates – if needed – for Council’s consideration. If no substantial changes are needed, the revised Guidelines will be sent to ccNSO Council for adoption. Background The governance of the ccNSO is based on three different sources. In the event of conflict, they are ranked in order of precedence: 1. First: The ICANN Bylaws. 2. Second: The Rules for the ccNSO Membership. 3. Third: Operating Procedures (also referred to as “ccNSO Guidelines”). The purpose of the Operating Procedures is to set forth a detailed course of action for operational or administrative activities. These are developed at the initiative of the ccNSO Council. The Rules and Operating Procedures are in accordance with ICANN Bylaws, Article 10, Section 10.3(k): “The ccNSO Council, subject to direction by the ccNSO members, shall adopt such rules and procedures for the ccNSO as it deems necessary, provided they are consistent with these Bylaws. Rules for ccNSO membership and operating procedures adopted by the ccNSO Council shall be published on the Website.” To consult the Rules for the ccNSO membership and ccNSO Guidelines, go to https://ccnso.icann.org/en/about/guidelines.htm [ccnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ccnso.icann.org/en/about/guidelines.htm_…> Best regards, Joke Braeken joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org>

Election Notice: Board Seat 11
by Joke Braeken Nov. 7, 2022

Nov. 7, 2022

Dear All, This is to inform you about the ICANN Board seat 11 election, starting on Tuesday, 8 November 2022 (00:01 UTC) and closing on Tuesday, 29 November 2022 (23:59 UTC). Following the call for nominations, one candidate was nominated: Patricio Poblete. The nomination was seconded, and Patricio accepted the nomination. Patricio submitted his candidate statement<https://ccnso.icann.org/en/workinggroups/poblete-statement-16aug22-en.pdf> to the ccNSO. The due diligence or background check was concluded without identifying any issues or concerns. Patricio was interviewed and answered questions from the ccNSO members and broader ccTLD community at a Question-and-Answer session, held on 3 November 2022. The recording of the session is published here<https://community.icann.org/x/HBwFBQ>. Even though there is only one candidate, an election will still be held, as suggested in the past by members of the community and since then reflected in the relevant guideline<https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/ccnso-nomination…>. Election opening and closing Voting starts Tuesday, 8 November 2022 (00:01 UTC) and closes on Tuesday, 29 November 2022 (23:59 UTC), as per the timeline<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/184995613/ITEM%203%20C%20a…> previously adopted by the ccNSO Council. Ballots A total of 173 voting ballots will be sent by Monday, 7 November by 23:00 UTC, from tally(a)icann.org to the e-mail address of the Emissaries, as listed in the ccNSO Members database. As per Section 10.4(e) of the June 2022 ICANN Bylaws, the Emissary is the Representative selected by the ccTLD Manager for the purpose of voting in the specific cases enumerated in Article 10 & Annex B of the ICANN Bylaws and some of the votings as per the ccNSO Internal Rules and Procedures. Each eligible Emissary will receive one (1) unique ballot. Currently 173 ccTLD Managers corresponding to 173 Territories are members of the ccNSO. 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. 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. Election Procedure Each Emissary can vote as many times as needed, 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 name or email address. There is no quorum requirement for this voting.
