Dear all As some of you may know, the GAC working group on under served regions has conducted a survey with governments in the GAC on Governments relations with ccTLDs managers managing the specific country code. The survey results, analysis etc. have now been published on the GAC website: https://gacweb.icann.org/display/gacweb/Governments+relationships+with+ccTL…. Kind regards, Bart Background to Survey Following the GAC internal discussions on the Framework of Interpretation (during the Singapore meeting 2015) on policies and guidelines pertaining to the delegation, revocation and transfer of country-code Top Level Domains, it became clear to the GAC that having a good framework of relationships with the manager of the respective ccTLD is of utmost importance to Governments. . With this in mind the GAC working group on under served regions undertook the taks to compile a set of good practices that may exist in different countries and that may be of use for Governments looking to improve their relationship with the country code manager. To this end the GAC working group on under served regions has conducted a survey with governments in the GAC that have an interest in compiling good practices that may exist in different countries and that may be of use for Governments looking to improve their relationship with the country code manager. The survey was conducted with the aim of helping governments build good frameworks of relationship with ccTLD administrators by identifying current challenges and developing a set of good practice.

proposed draft ICANN Bylaws are out for public comment until 21 May 2016
by Joke Braeken May 2, 2016

May 2, 2016

Dear all, Now that the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) and Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) proposals have been transmitted to NTIA, one of the key implementation planning items is to amend the ICANN Bylaws to reflect the recommendations in those Proposals. Both the independent counsel to the community groups and ICANN's General Counsel have confirmed that the proposed Draft New ICANN Bylaws are consistent with the community proposals relating to the IANA Stewardship Transition. These proposed draft Bylaws, are out for a 30-day public comment from 21 April – 21 May to allow any interested party to review and provide feedback. This timeline allows for comments to be analyzed and incorporated in time for a tentative 27 May adoption of the Bylaws by the ICANN Board. NTIA has stated that it needs to see that changes to the Bylaws have been adopted sufficient to implement the Transition Proposals before NTIA can complete its review of the Transition Proposals. This public comment period is designed to meet that deadline.

Friendly reminder: DECISION NEEDED: transparency face-to face meetings ccNSO, Council and WG
by Bart Boswinkel April 28, 2016

April 28, 2016

Dear all, In case you have missed the email or not responded yet, Kind regards, Bart From: Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel(a)icann.org<mailto:bart.boswinkel@icann.org>> Date: Friday 22 April 2016 15:21 To: "ccnso-council(a)icann.org<mailto:ccnso-council@icann.org>" <ccnso-council(a)icann.org<mailto:ccnso-council@icann.org>> Subject: DECISION NEEDED: transparency face-to face meetings ccNSO, Council and WG Dear all, At its last call ( 14 April 2016), Council discussed the need for openness and transparency of face-to face meetings. At the meeting it was decided to defer decision to an email decision. Included is background section and draft resolution. Following the usual email decision procedure, could you be so kind to express your support, objection(s) to adopt the draft resolution or raise questions if you have any regarding the decision/resolution by 29 April 2016, 13.00 UTC. Thank you and kind regards, Bart Draft Decision Background Transparency requires that, ICANN¹s constituent bodies operate in an open and transparent manner. This does not only imply that recordings, transcripts of meetings, if made, and notes and minutes are made publicly available after meetings, but also that face-to-face meetings are open to observers, and will be listed as such. However, some matters do justify confidentiality and excluding the public, such as (example list): · Employment matters · Discussion on persons · Contractual matters · Any proceedings of the Ombudsman · Consideration of any legal advice that would involve a risk of waiver of privilege if the meeting were not closed · Any item where there has been a request to deal with it in confidence and where that request is granted Further, it is self-evident that for meetings of Council, WGs, Committees, only appointed members or others, listed as liaisons or other form of formal participant may actively contribute, but the presumption has to be, that all meetings, including Council prep, WG meetings, have to be open to observers i.e. to people who want to listen to and watch the proceedings of the meeting in real time, without participating. Draft Resolution 1. All face-to face ccNSO, ccNSO Council or ccNSO chartered Working group meetings shall be open to observers, unless a majority of the voting members present at the meeting resolve to close the meeting due to the confidential nature of the topic being dealt with. If so, that part of the meeting shall only be closed to observers for the duration of the deliberations of the confidential item. 2. The ccNSO Guideline Review Committee is requested to update the relevant Guidelines accordingly, and submit them to Council for adoption. 3. The chair of the Council is requested to inform the chairs of the ccNSO chartered WG’s of this Council decision.
