by Joke Braeken Aug. 5, 2022

Aug. 5, 2022

Dear ccTLD managers, The ccNSO Strategic and Operational Planning Committee (SOPC) seeks your comments on its proposed updated Charter (enclosed). To submit feedback, please respond to this email or contact joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org>. The deadline for doing so is Thursday, 11 August 2022 (23:59 UTC). About the SOPC charter review During a session at ICANN74 in June, the SOPC reviewed and discussed with the ccTLD community the goal, scope, and method of ccNSO input into ICANN’s Strategic and Operational planning processes. Following a review of the outcomes of the ICANN74 SOPC consultation, the committee revised its charter, as well as its action plan and preliminary schedule of activities. As per its revised draft charter, the objective of the Committee is to provide input on the strategic and operational planning processes and related budgetary processes of ICANN and Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) that are relevant from a ccTLD and/or ccNSO perspective and to coordinate, facilitate, and encourage the involvement of ccTLD Managers in these processes. In fulfilling its objective, the Committee should focus on topics relevant from a ccTLD and/or ccNSO perspective, as well as those issues that are of high importance to the ICANN community. Next steps If by the 11 August deadline no concerns are raised that require further edits, the proposed charter will be sent to ccNSO Council for adoption at its upcoming meeting on Thursday, 18 August. Thank you. Best regards, Joke Braeken joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org>

Request for comments on the proposed updates to the April 2022 Internal Rules of the ccNSO
by Joke Braeken Aug. 3, 2022

Aug. 3, 2022

Dear All, I am forwarding you a request for comments by David McAuley, Chair of the Guidelines Review Committee Subgroup on updating the ccNSO Rules. Best regards, Joke Braeken joke.braeken(a)icann.org = = = Dear members of the ccNSO, The Guidelines Review Committee Subgroup on updating the ccNSO Rules held a consultation at ICANN74, to present to the membership their proposed updates to the April 2022 Internal Rules of the ccNSO<https://ccnso.icann.org/about/ccnso-rules-apr22-en.pdf>. As a next step in our consultation with ccNSO members on revising the Rules, there is one more chance to submit any further comment/reflection you wish to make on the proposed updated Rules on list. The latest proposal is enclosed, both in a clean version and a red-line version. Why was a revision of the Internal Rules needed? On 2 June 2022, the most recent version of the ICANN Bylaws was published. Consequently, amendments to Article 10<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/bylaws-2022-06-02-en#article10>, on the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO), and Annex B<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/bylaws-2022-06-02-en#annexB>, on the ccNSO Policy Development Process, became effective. The Bylaw change impacts on ccNSO existing rules<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/192218521/Annotated%20Inte…> and operating procedures with respect to the inclusion of IDN ccTLD managers as members of the ccNSO. Where and how can I submit comments on the proposal? Please let us know of any comments you have not later than 12 August 2022, 23:59 UTC. Kindly send your comments to ccnso-members(a)icann.org<mailto:ccnso-members@icann.org> or joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org> What are the next steps? Following closure of the comment period, the subgroup will consider such comments – if any. If there are no major concerns raised, the latest proposed updated Internal Rules will be presented to the ccNSO Council for adoption at their next meeting, on 18 August. We expect Council will subsequently initiate a member vote on this update, starting after conclusion of the ICANN75 Annual General Meeting. To help you as you consider any final comments here are some pertinent links: * To the recording of the ICANN74 Governance webinar: https://74.schedule.icann.org/meetings/DHmg9WTMj8bw5W7DW * To the Subgroup wiki: https://community.icann.org/x/VQDECQ As you consider these matters, please encourage other ccNSO members with whom you are in contact to do the same. Thank you, best wishes, On behalf of the GRC SG, David McAuley (Chair) Irina Danelia Stephen Deerhake Chris Disspain Atsushi Endo Ann-Cathrin Marcussen Alejandra Reynoso Katrina Sataki (Observer) Sean Copeland (Observer)
