As per the relevant ccNSO guideline [ccnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/fiel…>, new ccNSO members are able to participate in the nomination process if the ccNSO membership application has been approved by the ccNSO Council one day prior the nomination process starts, i.e. latest on 8 September 2020. Self-nominations As per the relevant ccNSO guideline [ccnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/fiel…>, ccNSO members may self-nominate themselves, but are not allowed to second their nomination. Self-nominations must be seconded by two ccNSO members from the region. Instructions Nominations and secondments should be sent by e-mail to the Election Manager at the following e-mail address: ccnso-nominations(a)icann.org<mailto:ccnso-nominations@icann.org>. Templates for nominating and seconding nominations are provided below. You are kindly invited to follow these instructions closely, and not to use alternative templates.

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 recent Council Election Webinar, the ccNSO Chair and Councillors gave an overview of the election process and address the need to replace Councillors at reasonable and regular intervals. Moreover, they provided 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 record of who has nominated and seconded the candidate(s) is publicly available: http://forum.icann.org/lists/ccnso-nominations [forum.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/forum.icann.org/lists/ccnso-nominations__…> Next steps The Election Manager will ask the candidates to provide a written candidate statement. A Q&A session will be held at the upcoming ccNSO Members Meeting at ICANN69 in October 2020. 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, and to ask questions. Consult here<https://community.icann.org/x/awG-C> the agenda of the ICANN69 ccNSO Members Meeting. 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.

IANA Naming Function Review Team Community Webinar
by Kimberly Carlson Sept. 21, 2020

Sept. 21, 2020

https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2020-09-21-en LOS ANGELES – 21 September 2020 – Today, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Naming Function Review Team (IFRT) has announced that it is in the final stages of completing its Initial Report. The IFRT will be holding a webinar for the community regarding one of their proposed recommendations that would require an amendment to the IANA Naming Functions Contract<https://pti.icann.org/agreements> between the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and its affiliate Public Technical Identifiers (PTI). This amendment may be of particular interest to country code top-level domain (ccTLD) and generic top-level domain (gTLD) registry operators. Per the ICANN Bylaws<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en>, Article 18, Section 18.5.d.(a): "The IFRT may recommend, among other things to the extent reasonably related to the IFR responsibilities set forth in Section 18.3, amendments to the IANA Naming Function Contract, IANA Naming Function SOW and/or the CSC Charter. The IFRT shall, at a minimum, take the following steps before an amendment to either the IANA Naming Function Contract, IANA Naming Function SOW or CSC Charter is proposed:……(iii) Conduct a public input session for ccTLD and gTLD registry operators." The IFRT noted that the IANA Naming Functions Contract<https://pti.icann.org/agreements> contains a requirement relating to the formatting of IANA's monthly Root Operations Audit Reports<https://www.iana.org/performance/root-audit> and this requirement can be considered obsolete. The IFRT therefore recommends that: In Article 7 Section 7.1 (a) the IFRT recommends that this statement "The relevant policies under which the changes are made shall be noted within each monthly report" be removed from the contract, as it is a legacy statement from the NTIA contract that is no longer required. The IFRT encourages all interested parties, and in particular ccTLD and gTLD registry operators, to join the scheduled informational webinar to learn more. Webinar Information Date: 29 September 2020 Time: 17:00 – 17:30 UTC Webinar Link: https://icann.zoom.us/j/96824197988?pwd=TGpISnFnck1TblpQdkthd0lHUzRxdz09 Passcode: IFRT_09/29 A recording of the webinar will be made available on the IFRT's Wiki page<https://community.icann.org/display/ifr> and you may submit questions and comments at any time via their public email list input-to-IFRT(a)icann.org<mailto:input-to-IFRT@icann.org>. For more information on the webinar, click here<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=120819308>. About IFR The IANA Naming Functions Review (IFR) is one of the accountability mechanisms created as part of the IANA stewardship transition to ensure that ICANN, via its affiliate Public Technical Identifiers (PTI), meets the needs and expectations of its naming customers. About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world. About PTI Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) is an affiliate of ICANN responsible for performing the IANA functions, which include management of the Domain Name System root zone, the global Internet Protocol address space and other protocol parameters that support Internet operation. PTI was formed in 2016 following a transition of stewardship to the multistakeholder community that relies upon the IANA functions. PTI performs the IANA functions under contract with ICANN.

While 2020 has proven challenging and likely very different from what we were all expecting when we last saw each other almost a year ago in Montréal, the Board and I keep being impressed and grateful for your continued dedication to ICANN’s mission. The Board still values its dialogue with your groups and is very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 22nd and first ever virtual Annual General Meeting that will take place between 13-22 October 2020. As you keep working on the format for ICANN69, we would like to start preparing for community dialogue with the Board. As per what we did in Montréal and virtually for ICANN67, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We will also publish the list of questions or topics received using this digest as a successful tool for improving transparency and allowing other groups to deepen their own understanding of their peers’ point of view on different issues. As for time allocation, per what we did previously, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you: Enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model - key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation, you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation and the work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model, such as the Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) Final Report and work on prioritization and budgeting). We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations, board-ops-team(a)icann.org, your single topic or list of questions, in order of priority, no later than Monday, 5 October 2020 or sooner. For your information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively and virtually. Best regards, Maarten Botterman ICANN Board Chair REMINDER: ICANN69 Internet Access Reimbursement Program Pilot ICANN previously announced the Pandemic Internet Access Program Pilot for ICANN69, following the ICANN Board resolution in support of the pilot program. To facilitate participation during the remote Public Meeting, the pilot program offers community members who have limited Internet capacity financial assistance to increase their Internet bandwidth during ICANN69.

The services must be rendered by a business entity or Internet service provider, specifically for Internet or cellular data service.

Dear Colleagues, As I mentioned during the call, here come few more documents regarding IRP SP: Updated draft Terms of Reference, incorporating input received to date (most recently from the GAC) as well as two comments from ICANN org on the GAC’s questions about the role of the Empowered Community and document disclosure – basically: while the EC may be a Claimant in an IRP, the formation and selection of the Standing Panel is not an EC action; and requests for document disclosure will be handled in accordance with ICANN org’s Documentary Information Disclosure Policy (DIDP). Notes from the 2 September call where the composition and criteria for appointment to the Community Representatives Group as well as a possible timeline were discussed. The list of criteria and requirements for IRP panelists that were published along with the call for Expressions of Interest. Please review and provide comments on: The proposal that emerged on the call, as regards the Community Representatives Group (viz. “The Community Representatives Group should be a small, lightweight, odd-numbered group of between 7-15 members, who [in the aggregate] have [the following agreed] expertise and who, as far as possible, represents a diversity of stakeholders and interests across the ICANN community. The size of the group is less important than the skillsets/expertise of the members on the group”; and The type of expertise which the Community Representatives Group should possess in the aggregate (three of which, identified on the call, have been captured in the notes). Please let me know your thoughts as soon as possible! Thank you! ]{atrina
