As expected no progress since April 2022. to be picked up by the committees after ICANN74. Stephen: Tech WG will discuss it at ICANN74. Item 11 - 17 for discussion or decision during the meeting 11. Timelines Nomination process Board Seat 11 & Council elections See set of timelines. What we need to decide: timing of the Q&A sessions with the candidates. Typically this is done at the AGM. The next AGM takes place mid-September. Q&A at ICANN75 for Council elections is possible, but put a lot of stress on the process. For the Board nominations, a Q&A at the ICANN75 AGM is nearly impossible, due to the due diligence checks. If we do a Q&A after ICANN75, we still meet all relevant deadlines. When we do a Q&A after ICANN75, it is more in line with previous timelines and processes, and we avoid the issue for the holiday season in the Northern Hemisphere. When to hold the Q&A? That is what we need to determine today. Stephen: 2 issues. Board Seat, and Council Seats. correct? Alejandra: yes Stephen: council seats in NA informally sorted out. Do you see a change to that? timing of the council seat. We are on schedule to do what we have done in the past. Alejandra: NA has few members. reason why we typically have the process by the end of the year. We could meet the deadline by ICANN75, but complicated. Do things in a rush. Do not see a need to do this, prefers the usual approach. Stephen: agrees. Sean: agrees. looked at previous meetings. previously AGM was in November, and not in September like ICANN75. de-couple the process from AGM? Councillors take their seat in March, that a long time from September to March. Not effective. 2 questions by Alejandra: 1/ If you’re in favor of a virtual Q&A after ICANN75 (end October-early November), please use your green ticks now. > Green ticks, no red. 2/ If you’re in favor of a Q&A during ICANN75 in September 2022, please use your green ticks. > no green ticks by Councilors To do: Secretariat to prepare a timeline for both Council elections and Board nominations, for Q&A after ICANN75. notes Sean’s observations to potentially adjust the timeline in the guideline too Sean: for discussion on monday’s GRC meeting 12. Impact upcoming change Article 10 and Annex B to include IDN ccTLDs in the ccNSO GRC is working on updating the various internal procedures and processes.And that this will be part of the governance session in the Hague. Next week we might forward to Council some admin changes. That allows the ccNSO to be well prepared for the inclusion of IDNs. Bart confirms Council responsible for this. Here are the proposed changes to the ccNSO membership application form https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kqdbWnpO7WylUBQdA8keegv828_wSFj3z1u1yrT… for adoption at the council meeting in June Joke provides high-level overview of the proposed changes 13. Update Triage Committee. Work Plan FY 23-25 Bart: work items over the next 2 years. work plan will be aligned with icann’s fiscal years. starting 1 july, for 2 years. We could not present a first draft, due to time constraints at the secretariat. timelines for PDPs. Also implementation work required. usual work items such as the work of SOPC and other groups, prep of ICANN meetings. Admin work will also be included. detailed enough to work on, hopefully useful.
