NOTES | Council prep | 28 May 2025 at noon UTC
by Joke Braeken June 7, 2025

June 7, 2025

NOTES | Council prep | 28 May 2025 at noon UTC 1. Welcome By alejandra. Welcome to Nigel, who is now a member of the Council 2. Workplan and workflow Bart: I spoke with Chris, he is the new chair of the Triage committee. Next week there is a triage committee meeting, to allow the current membership to become familiar with the tools we use, and the upcoming work items. Under the assumption the RM will be adopted in Prague, there are several policy items coming our way, e.g. study groups, we noticed a lot of ongoing and new work. Secondly, we are at capacity from a staff perspective. May have some consequences going forward. We support about 10 WG, with the RM and study groups on top, and prep for ICANN meetings, we are over capacity. We already support 10 WG. Brief discussion in Prague. Prepare you for an adoption of the work plan, and to set priorities. Triage will meet next week. Stephen: be careful with staff workload 3. Next round of 360 reviews Should we continue? It took a lot of effort last time. Jaijit: if i click on the links, i do not not see enough info Bart: see agenda item 4 Alejandra: impression we want to continue? Peter: thanks to those that filled out the survey. I did find it helpful. I once had such a review in the nomcom. It would be interesting to understand where/why people that make the evaluation, would, or would not be be able, to respond to certain questions. In favour of continuing, but perhaps we need to review the questions asked. Alejandra: Next week we will discuss individual evaluations. Aim is to have growth in council work 4. Session rapporteurs See notes in https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qOTIkPqsQdlZa7S5KTTUhbnbmFfmC4BSxxCuPEK… Alejandra: regarding RSS, Peter is requested to please coordinate with Luis Diego if Council should be made aware of anything during ICANN83, other than what is included in the regular written updates Jaijit: more info on these sessions? Alejandra: these are not ccnso sessions. The people assigned to those sessions will report back to council, if needed. In our table, we included the link to the session on the ICANN83 schedule, where you can find further info Joke Read more about the ccnso schedule here: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ccnsowkspc/pages/198410241 Consult the ICANN83 ccNSO Session Highlights: This document outlines the ccNSO schedule for ICANN83, including session dates, times, and locations, along with agenda details.

Dear Hank Thank you for your message. Please note that the composition of contributors was not consistent across the years, meaning that different ccTLDs participated in different fiscal periods. Therefore, there is no simple answer to your questions. I hope you'll be able to join the session at ICANN83, where we will explain the findings in more detail and gather feedback from the community.

Chair’s draft report by the second Finance Working Group
by Alejandra Reynoso Barral June 4, 2025

June 4, 2025

Dear All I am pleased to share with you the Chair’s draft of the final report prepared by the second Finance Working Group (WG) of the ccNSO. This draft is being shared in advance of the ICANN83 meeting in Prague. As noted in the draft report, the WG is still finalizing its deliberations on the specific details of the amended Guideline it intends to recommend. Nevertheless, the WG believes that this ongoing work should not delay the presentation of several key elements: the proposed cost model (Section 2); the findings from the fact-finding efforts, including the consultations held in Seattle and the May 2025 survey (Section 3); and the proposed principles intended for inclusion in the revised Guideline (Section 4). In addition, I would like to invite you to attend the session titled "ccNSO: ccTLD Financial Contributions" scheduled for Tuesday, 10 June 2025, from 13:30 to 15:00 UTC (15:30-17:00 local time). Further details are available here: https://icann83.sched.com/event/246Y9/ccnso-cctld-financial-contributions. We look forward to receiving your feedback and contributions to the ongoing discussion. On behalf of the second Finance Working Group, Alejandra Reynoso Chair of the WG ******************************************* Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt.
