Request from ICANN (re CSC) and draft letter to the community
by Katrina Sataki June 8, 2016

June 8, 2016

Dear Colleagues, Please see below the request for Appointment of Members and Liaisons to the CSC sent by ICANN to SO/ACs. Now it's time to inform the community. Here's the draft letter we'd like to send as soon as possible - big thanks to David McAuley (GRC) for taking the lead and drafting it. If you have any comments/suggestions/corrections, please do not hesitate to let me know as soon as possible. I think we need to send this out to the community not later than on Monday: -------------------- Dear Colleagues, On Friday, May 27, the ICANN Board approved the new ICANN Bylaws for IANA Stewardship Transition, deemed to be effective upon the expiration of the IANA Functions Contract between ICANN and NTIA. You will note that Article 17 of the new bylaws calls for the creation of the Customer Standing Committee (CSC). The CSC's role will be to monitor the performance of the Post Transition IANA entity (PTI), which will perform the IANA Functions relevant for the ccTLDs post transition (see: https://www.icann.org/iana_imp_docs/43-csc-scope-and-responsibilities-v-v2) . The ccNSO has to appoint two members representing ccTLD registry operators (the ccTLD manager does NOT have to be a member of the ccNSO) according to the internal procedures of the ccNSO. On 2 June 2016 the ccNSO Council received the request to appoint members to the Customer Standing Committee by 22 July 2016 (--include link--). Since April 2016 the ccNSO is working on a new guideline with respect to the selection and appointment of the ccTLD members on the CSC and related aspects. It is expected that the ccNSO Council will adopt the guideline at its meeting on 16 June. During the ccNSO meeting in Helsinki more detailed information on the entire process will be presented to the community and the formal call for expressions of interest will be issued on or around 30 June. This will, unfortunately, provide a very limited application window (two weeks) to meet the deadline of 22 July 2016. In order to enable interested candidates to prepare and send in their application within the envisioned tight application window, we will provide all the necessary information about the requirements and documents that have to be submitted. Expression of Interest will require a candidate to indicate how she or he meets at least the following requirements: - Direct experience and knowledge of the IANA naming function - Analytical skills, ability to interpret quantitative and qualitative evidence, and capacity to draw conclusions purely based on evidence - Able to work and communicate in written and spoken English - Effective communication skills - Experience in managing and/or participating in committees (e.g. meeting coordination, reporting, and escalation) in order to contribute meaningfully to CSC processes - Demonstrated ability in relationship management to support diplomatic discussion, consensus driven decision making, and productive negotiation In addition, the call will ask the applicant to submit at least the following: - Explanation of the interest in becoming a member of the CSC - A resume, curriculum vitae or biography in support of the Expression of Interest; - If employed by a ccTLD manager, a letter of support for the appointment signed by a member of candidate's organization's senior management; and - An indication whether the candidate is available to be elected for a 2 or 3-year term. In the course of the upcoming weeks I will keep you updated on the progress made. Kind regards, ------------------------ Thank you!

Dear Colleagues, On Friday, May 27, the ICANN Board approved the new ICANN Bylaws for IANA Stewardship Transition, deemed to be effective upon the expiration of the IANA Functions Contract between ICANN and NTIA. You will note that Article 17 of the new bylaws calls for the creation of the Customer Standing Committee (CSC). The CSC's role will be to monitor the performance of the Post Transition IANA entity (PTI), which will perform the IANA Functions relevant for the ccTLDs post transition (see: <https://www.icann.org/iana_imp_docs/43-csc-scope-and-responsibilities-v-v2> https://www.icann.org/iana_imp_docs/43-csc-scope-and-responsibilities-v-v2) The ccNSO has to appoint two members representing ccTLD registry operators (the ccTLD manager does NOT have to be a member of the ccNSO) according to the internal procedures of the ccNSO.

Expression of Interest will require a candidate to indicate how she or he meets at least the following requirements: - Direct experience and knowledge of the IANA naming function - Employed or have active backing by a ccTLD manager - Analytical skills, ability to interpret quantitative and qualitative evidence, and capacity to draw conclusions purely based on evidence - Able to work and communicate in written and spoken English - Effective communication skills and commitment to inform the ccTLD community on a regular basis in person at the ccNSO meetings or RO meetings or via e-mail - Experience in managing and/or participating in committees (e.g. meeting coordination, reporting, and escalation) in order to contribute meaningfully to CSC processes - Demonstrated ability in relationship management to support diplomatic discussion, consensus driven decision making, and productive negotiation In addition, the call will ask the applicant to submit at least the following: - Explanation of the interest in becoming a member of the CSC - A resume, curriculum vitae or biography in support of the Expression of Interest - An indication whether the candidate is available to be elected for a 2 or 3-year term, and - An indication of commitment of your organization to your participation to the CSC.

Dear all, As you may recall the Council discussed the need for a survey on ccNSO Council accountability at tis meeting in April. As you may also recall drafting was in progress.

RE: [ccnso-council] FW: ATTENTION! Information on CSC
by Katrina Sataki June 1, 2016

June 1, 2016

Hi Barrack, Thank you very much for your comment! I agree with your point. BUT! Please take into account: 1) we have to select only 2 members. As Alejandra rightfully pointed out, there's no much room for diversity. We have 5 regions, we have really big, medium-sized and small registries. We have ccTLDs run by private comapnies, governmental institutions, academic institutions, NGOs, not for profit organisations, etc. 2 seats!!! 2) I think that this time it is not only about representation and goodwill. If we needed to choose a dentist, for example, we would not think "Our eye doctor is old and comes from Europe, the surgeon is a young Brazilian, psychotherapist is very small and skinny - so, the dentist must be a big woman from Australia" No, we would look for a professional who knows how to fix an aching tooth. If the big woman from Australia happens to be a superb dentist - it's wonderful. But if she does not have a clue, then better not to let her touch our teeth. I think this is what my colleagues councillors mean when they say that knowledge of IANA system should be prior to other considerations. 3) the diversity of the entire CSC composition should be considered. But! Liaisons do not vote. Members do. Therefore the members we select must be professionals who are able to soothe our toothache. Thanks!
