Draft FY21-25 Operating & Financial Plan and Draft FY21 Operating Plan & Budget
by Joke Braeken Jan. 6, 2020

Jan. 6, 2020

hello all, The Draft FY21-25 Operating & Financial Plan and Draft FY21 Operating Plan & Budget is open for public comments. The public comment period will close 25 February 2020 (23:59 UTC) Purpose: The purpose of this public comment is to seek community input on ICANN's draft FY21-25 Operating & Financial Plan and draft FY21 Operating Plan and Budget. Current Status: Following the community's inputs<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/draft-financial-projections-fy2021-20…> on the key Operating Initiatives and Financial assumptions and projection from June to August, 2019. ICANN Organization (ICANN org) prepared and is publishing the draft plans for public review and comment. The draft Operating and Financial Plan for Fiscal Years 2021-2025 defines and demonstrates how ICANN org will implement the Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2021–2025 that was adopted by the ICANN Board in June 2019. The Strategic Plan enables ICANN to continue to fulfill its mission and meet new and continuously evolving challenges and opportunities. The draft Operating and Financial Plan for Fiscal Years 2021-2025 is intended to serve as an overarching, holistic view of the activities ICANN org is undertaking, or will undertake, in support of its FY21–25 Strategic Plan. It is not a replacement for ICANN org's annual operating plans, but is meant to complement them by providing a comprehensive overview of how ICANN will carry out its mission in the public interest over the next five years. The draft FY21 Operating Plan and Budget defines and describes ICANN's planned activities in FY21, and the anticipated funding sources and levels. Next Steps: During this Public Comment Period, three community webinars will be held in Jan 2020 to provide an overview of the draft plans. Please also see announcement<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2019-12-13-en> for details of the webinars. * 09 January 2020 at 01:00 UTC https://icann.zoom.us/j/935036343 * 09 January 2020 at 16:00 UTC https://icann.zoom.us/j/506858960 * 14 January 2020 at 16:00 UTC https://icann.zoom.us/j/257109807 Community members seeking clarification on any details in the draft FY21- 25 Operating & Financial Plan and /or draft FY21 Operating Plan & Budget should submit questions to planning(a)icann.org<mailto:planning@icann.org> by 21 January 2020. ICANN org will provide responses to clarifying questions by 05 February 2020, approximately three weeks before this public comment period ends. After this Public Comment Period ICANN org will hold sessions with the ICANN Board and community at ICANN67 regarding these draft plans. ICANN org will analyze the received public comments, prepare a report of the public comments, and publish the report by 27 March 2020. Where deemed necessary, changes will be made to the draft plans and the revised draft plans will be presented to the ICANN Board and proposed for adoption by the Board in May 2020, a minimum of 28 days in advance of the beginning of Fiscal Year 2021, to allow for the Empowered Community to consider the plans. About the ccNSO Strategic and Operational Planning Committee (SOPC): The aim of the Committee is to coordinate, facilitate, and increase the participation of ccTLD managers in ICANN and PTI's strategic and operational planning processes and related budgetary processes. The ccNSO Council and individual ccTLD managers, collectively or individually, will be invited to support the position or input of the Committee. Membership of the Committee is open to all ccTLD managers (whether members or non-members of the ccNSO). The Committee may submit a relevant Rejection Action Petition against the ICANN and IANA budgets, as well as their Strategic and operating Plans as defined in the ICANN Bylaws, Annex D, section 2.1 (f), (g), (h) and (i) to the ccNSO as Decisional Participant. read more: https://ccnso.icann.org/en/workinggroups/sopiwg.htm Best regards, Joke Braeken ccNSO Policy Advisor joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org> Follow @ccNSO on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ccNSO Follow the ccNSO on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ccnso/ http://ccnso.icann.org

REMINDER | call for presenters: ccTLD News at ICANN67 in Cancun
by Joke Braeken Jan. 6, 2020

Jan. 6, 2020

Dear All, First and foremost: happy 2020 to all! REMINDER: call for presenters extended until mid January. This is a reminder that the ccNSO Meetings Programme Committee is seeking a limited number of presenters for the upcoming ccNSO Member Meeting (ccTLD news session) at the March 2020 ICANN Community Forum in Cancun (ICANN67<https://meetings.icann.org/en/cancun67>). The ccNSO Members Meeting will take place on Tuesday, 10 and Wednesday, 11 March 2020. ccTLD managers interested in presenting at the ccTLD News Session are kindly invited to contact Joke Braeken (joke.braeken(a)icann.org)<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org)>, no later than Monday, 13 January 2020 (23:59 UTC). (new deadline) The ccNSO Meeting Programme Working Group invites you to share your best practices, project solutions, implementations and case studies by presenting at the ccTLD news session, covering for instance recent developments, ccTLD activities and ccTLD management related topics, both from an operational, marketing or legal point of view. Candidate presenters are invited to send the following information to Joke Braeken (joke.braeken(a)icann.org)<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org)>, at their earliest convenience - no later than Monday, 13 January 2020 (23:59 UTC). = = = = = * Exact title of your presentation * First name of the presenter * Last name of the presenter * ccTLD of the presenter * Short summary of your presentation (few sentences) Please note: * Has your presentation been shown at another industry event? If so, kindly specify where. In order to avoid unnecessary overlap with other meetings, you are kindly encouraged to adopt the presentation to a global audience. * No interpretation services will be provided during the ccNSO Members meeting, therefore please take into consideration that presentations are to be held in English. * On https://ccnso.icann.org/en/workinggroups/mpwg.htm<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__ccnso.icann.org_en_wor…> you will be able to find some tips & tricks for presenters at ccNSO meetings, and how to make a good presentation even more engaging. = = = = = Next steps: Each proposal for a presentation is reviewed and evaluated by the ccNSO Meeting Programme Committee (MPC). Since a number of volunteers already stepped forward with a proposal to give a presentation, including deferred presentations from ICANN66, the MPC cannot always guarantee a speaking slot for all volunteers. A short description of the scheduled presentations will be published online, prior to the meeting. The MPC expects to confirm the final selection of presenters after the December seasonal break. The ccNSO Meeting Programme Committee looks forward to your feedback. Thank you!

Number Resource Organisation (NRO) and Address Supporting Organisation (ASO) and .org
by Stephen Deerhake ＠ ASNIC Dec. 31, 2019

Dec. 31, 2019

Greetings, Oscar Robles-Garay, Chair of the NRO Executive Council, via the Address Supporting Organisation as a Decisional Participant within the Empowered Community, recently submitted the following to John Jeffrey, the ICANN Corporate Secretary: ICANN Secretary, The 5 Regional Internet address Registries (RIRs) have participated in ICANN since its inception, collectively in the names of the NRO (Number Resource Organization) and the ASO (Address Supporting Organization). With the recent ASO Review, the NRO communities reaffirmed our relationship with ICANN as a critical component of the global Internet Governance ecosystem, and our participation in ICANN as a Decisional Participant in the Empowered Community. The NRO has reviewed recent events surrounding the proposal by ISOC to transfer the ownership of PIR, the .org Registry, to Ethos Capital. While we do not normally engage in policy matters related to the DNS, we consider ICANN’s handling of this proposal to be an important Internet governance decision, with bearing on the community’s trust in ICANN, and the legitimacy of the ICANN model. We have therefore agreed to issue an Inspection Request to ICANN (as follows), in the name of the ASO as a Decisional Participant in the Empowered Community. We believe that confirming the process that will be used for review of the assignment of the .org registry agreement, including the extent of public input into that process, will enhance the transparency of the decision making and strengthen public trust in ICANN. Request: “As a Decisional Participant in the Empowered Community and pursuant to ICANN Bylaws section 22.7, the ASO hereby submits this Inspection Request to inspect the records of ICANN, including minutes of the Board or any Board Committee, for the purpose of determining whether the ASO's may have need to use its empowered community powers in the near future relating to the potential assignment of the .org Registry Agreement. For this purpose, the ASO seeks to inspect any ICANN records which pertain to or provide relevant insight to the process by which ICANN will consider (and potentially approve) the assignment of the .org Registry Agreement, including the process by which input from the affected community will be obtained prior to ICANN’s consideration and potential approval of the assignment.” Best Regards, Oscar Robles-Garay Chair of the NRO EC (On behalf of the ASO as a Decisional Participant in the Empowered Community) So what does this mean? Basically, the ASO, as a Decisional Participant, has exercised their right under Section 22.7 of the ICANN Bylaws to request background information, consistent with the limitations present in Section 22, regarding Board and ICANN org correspondence, memoranda, etc., with respect to ICANN’s involvement with what is generally known as the “.org transfer”. No immediate action is required of the ccNSO Council at this time with regards to the action the ASO has taken as a Decisional Participant. The purpose of this email to you is strictly informational. You need to be aware of this action by a fellow Decisional Participant. Writing in a purely personal capacity, I offer a few observations. First, it’s apparent that via this action on the part of the NRO’s via their participation in the ASO, they are really NOT happy with recent developments with respect to .org. Second, I believe that what the NRO, via the ASO, has initiated is a major stress test of the ICANN Bylaws; I cannot predict that outcome… Third, I see no reason for the ccNSO (and especially the Council, lacking a consultative effort with the membership) to weigh in on this matter at this time. Best Regards, /Stephen

Dec. 23, 2019

Dear all, Following yesterday’s calls, and assuming the Council agrees to the oversight committee, please put your name forward. Suggest we do this on a first come first serve basis.

The committee will be asked to oversee the schedule up and until the Issue report has been adopted, and may be asked to review the draft issue report before it is send to Council. Depending on the timing and if deemed relevant and appropriate, Councillors may also be asked to present at meetings of the Regional Organisations. For the oversight committee we are looking for one member from the AF, AP, LAC and NA region and one of the NomCom members. As Katrina is already member and from EU, no member is sought from EU. By 2 January I will send out a follow-up email to seek formal approval of the committee by 15 January. Kind regards, Bart
