Fwd: Topics for joint ICANN Board & ccNSO session - ICANN 72
by Alejandra Reynoso Oct. 4, 2021

Oct. 4, 2021

Dear Councillors For your information please find below the topics we are going to discuss with the ICANN Board at our joint meeting in ICANN 72 as agreed in our last council call. Best regards, Alejandra -- [image: Photograph] *Alejandra Reynoso*Investigación & Desarrollo | Dominios .gt *P:* +502 23688565 *E:* alejandra.reynoso(a)cctld.gt 18 Ave. 11-95 Zona 15, V.H. III. (A-109) Guatemala, Guatemala www.gt ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Alejandra Reynoso <alejandra.reynoso(a)cctld.gt> Date: Wed, Sep 29, 2021 at 2:19 PM Subject: Topics for joint ICANN Board & ccNSO session - ICANN 72 To: Maarten Botterman <maarten.botterman(a)board.icann.org> Cc: <board-ops-team(a)icann.org>, ccNSO Secretariat < ccnsosecretariat(a)icann.org> Dear Maarten I hope this email finds you well. In response to your email from 15 September, regarding the topics of the Board-ccNSO joint meeting, we would like to propose the following topics: - On 28 September the ccNSO submitted the ccNSO recommended policy on the retirement of ccTLDs. As we do not have a tradition on submitting recommended policies (this is only the 3rd time, since 2003), we propose to use this joint meeting to introduce the policy to you, including its scope, and why we believe it is needed. We expect that some Board members may have some questions already, so this is a first opportunity for you to ask questions, if any. Relatedly, we would appreciate learning from the Board what would be their next steps, and if feasible a roadmap. This would allow us to prepare to assist in the implementation process, if needed. - Recently we also requested a change of Article 10 and Annex B to allow the inclusion of IDNccTLD in the ccNSO if they would choose to become a member (currently 62 IDNccTLD strings have been delegated since 2009 and even if the IDNccTLD Manager wants to become member, formally it would not be possible). We would like to understand the next steps of the process. - Finally, as Nigel Roberts will be stepping down as member of the ICANN BOARD at the end of ICANN72, we would like to use this opportunity to ask Nigel to share his views on his years on the Board, and the relation between ICANN and the ccTLD community in general and the ICANN Board and ccNSO specifically. We have received the ICANN Board topic on "how we think you could efficiently identify and work more closely with Governments globally, as well as educate, train and interact when it comes to geopolitical issues relating to ICANN’s mission" and will prepare to try to provide you the ccNSO’s views. If you have any comments or questions please don't hesitate to ask. Best regards, Alejandra -- [image: Photograph] *Alejandra Reynoso*Investigación & Desarrollo | Dominios .gt *P:* +502 23688565 *E:* alejandra.reynoso(a)cctld.gt 18 Ave. 11-95 Zona 15, V.H. III.

Individuals are elected in their personal capacity and serve the ccTLD community. Councillors do not represent the views and interests of their employers. Candidates need to be neither resident in the region, nor a citizen of a country, within the region in which they stand for election. A valid candidate is one that has been nominated and seconded according to the ccNSO council Election Guideline, and that has accepted the nomination. If there is more than one valid candidate in a Geographical Region, an election shall be conducted in that region. Voting will be by secret ballot: the ballot is identified only by a code and not by a name. During a Council Election Webinar (16 September 2021, noon UTC), the ccNSO Chair and other Councillors give an overview of the election process and address the need to replace Councillors at reasonable and regular intervals. Moreover, they provide further information about the required skill sets for Councillors, the time commitment and working methods of the ccNSO Council. Consult the webinar recording<https://community.icann.org/display/ccnsowkspc/ccNSO+Webinars> here. Accepting nominations After closure of the nomination period, the Election Manager will ask the candidates that are nominated to accept their nomination. Self-nominations are understood to have accepted their nomination. The Election Manager will provide a list with the name(s) of the candidate(s) who have accepted their nomination.

A Question and Answer session with the candidate(s) will be held at ICANN72 in October. The session is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, 26 October 2021 (16:00-17:00 UTC). The draft ICANN72 ccNSO Members Meeting schedule is published here: https://community.icann.org/x/hAEuCg In preparation of the Q&A session, the written candidate statements will be posted on the ccNSO website. The Q&A session gives the ccNSO members and broader ccTLD community an opportunity to interact with the candidates. If at the close of nominations there are no more valid candidates in a particular geographic region than there are seats on the ccNSO Council available for that geographic region, then the nominated candidates shall be selected to serve on the ccNSO Council. Otherwise, an election shall be held for that geographic region, to select the ccNSO Councillors from among the valid candidates.
