Public comment on Initial Report 2nd CSC Effectivenes Review
by Bart Boswinkel Oct. 31, 2022

Oct. 31, 2022

Dear All, Recently the 2nd Customer Standing Committee (CSC) review team posted its Initial Report to seek public comment and feed-back (see: https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/initial-report-on-the-se…) Due to the importance of the CSC in monitoring the performance of the IANA Naming Services for the benefit of all direct customers – which includes all ccTLDs - the ccNSO Council decided to submit a ccNSO response. This is a submission that is supported by both Council and ccNSO members. The Council tasked a small team ( Irina Danelia and Molehe Wesi) to draft a response. Included is a draft that has already bene reviewed by the ccNSO Council and the team is now seeking your comments and support. Main points of the draft submission: * The ccNSO supports the view of the review team that the CSC is effective and limited role should NOT be expanded * The ccNSO also supports the view that the CSC is best positioned to review regularly the IANA Naming Service Level Agreements. These SLAs should remain to be relevant, up-to date and adequate for the benefit of all ccTLDs and be used as a mechanism to avoid the emergence of issues, which could have been avoided if the SLAs were up-to-date reviewed. If you have any comments, concerns or do NOT support the proposed submission please let us know ( preferably using the list) by 15 November 2022, 23.59 UTC, On behalf of the Irina and Molehe, Bart Boswinkel, ccNSO secretariat
