FW: IDN Implementation Guidelines
by Bart Boswinkel Dec. 17, 2014

Dec. 17, 2014

Dear all, Following up from Byron¹s remarks during the AOB part of the meeting, please find included the email and letter he received from Akram Atllah regarding the revision of the IDN Implementation Guidelines. As Byron indicated the proposed action is to invite IDN ccTLD to participate in this effort, by forwarding the letter to them and inviting them to respond directly to ICANN. In the past some ccTLDs with a interest in IDNs have participated in the work to develop the Guidelines. If you any issues to the proposed way forward, you are kindly requested to respond on the Council list by Wednesday 17 December 17.00 UTC, Kind regards, Bart From: Akram Atallah <akram.atallah(a)icann.org> Date: Wednesday, December 3, 2014 at 11:31 PM To: "byron.holland(a)cira.ca" <byron.holland(a)cira.ca> Cc: Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel(a)icann.org>, Cyrus Namazi <cyrus.namazi(a)icann.org>, Sarmad Hussain <sarmad.hussain(a)icann.org>, "ceo(a)auda.org.au" <ceo(a)auda.org.au>, Mike Silber <mike.silber(a)icann.org> Subject: IDN Implementation Guidelines Dear Byron, In the ICANN 50 meeting, the GNSO council and members met with the Board Variant Working Group (BV-WG) and suggested to update the IDN Implementation Guidelines, the last revision was in 2011. Based on follow up discussions, during the ICANN 51 meeting the BV-WG directed the staff to reach out to the GNSO and ccNSO to collect an initial list of issues which should be addressed if this update is undertaken. This request is outlined in the attached letter. Thank you for your support in this matter. -- Best, Akram

NomCom appointee requirements
by Bart Boswinkel Dec. 12, 2014

Dec. 12, 2014

Dear all, Following yesterdays discussion please find included current general and specific ccNSO Council related requirements. Kind regards, Bart ===================================== General Criteria and Time Commitments The NomCom will use the Criteria for Selection of ICANN Directors contained in Article VI, section 3 of the ICANN Bylaws for the selection of all candidates the NomCom is tasked with selecting. These Criteria are: Accomplished persons of integrity, objectivity, and intelligence, with reputations for sound judgment and open minds, and a demonstrated capacity for thoughtful group decision-making; Persons with an understanding of ICANN's mission and the potential impact of ICANN decisions on the global Internet community, and committed to the success of ICANN; Persons who will produce the broadest cultural and geographic diversity on the Board consistent with meeting the other criteria set forth in this Section; Persons who, in the aggregate, have personal familiarity with the operation of gTLD registries and registrars; with ccTLD registries; with IP address registries; with Internet technical standards and protocols; with policy-development procedures, legal traditions, and the public interest; and with the broad range of business, individual, academic, and non-commercial users of the Internet; Persons who are able to work and communicate in written and spoken English. Furthermore, the NomCom solicits advice from the Board (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/nomcom-skills-advice-11oct14-en… [PDF, 88 KB]), the Supporting Organizations and the Advisory Committees on desirable skill sets for incoming Board members, in light of the challenges ahead and the current composition of the Board. Such advice is used by the NomCom to inform the Committee's search and selection activities. Given ICANN's Mission and Core Values, selectees engage in discussions on the technical functions coordinated by ICANN and their impact on the global Internet operation, such as its stability and integrity, or the effect on the users of the Internet. Selectees interact in a diverse environment, involving ICANN Board, ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees, as well as the broader Internet community, by means of a continuous, transparent and informed dialogue, as it corresponds to the ICANN multi-stakeholder concept. Selectees will be part of groups that function in a collegial and cooperative manner, but in which individuals must also be prepared for intense debate in which tolerance and reasoning are necessary to accommodate and synthesize conflicting views. Careful consideration of the issues, depth of study of the precedents and environment, and the ability to deal clearly with conflict, including potentially conflicts of interest, are predictors of successful contributions to ICANN. The NomCom welcomes and encourages Applications from all members of the global Internet community. Although candidates should be able to both work and communicate well in English, there is no requirement that English be the candidate's first language. The time commitments identified below are a basic requirement and the NomCom anticipates that in most cases people will spend more time rather than less. All selectees should expect to spend an additional significant amount of time when joining ICANN on training and learning about the organization, its mission, history and mode of operation. ICANN holds three Public Meetings per year. These meetings typically last for one week and are where the ICANN community gathers to discuss and develop policy and conduct ICANN's business. Public Meeting locations take place across ICANN's five geographic regions, for example the first meeting of 2015 will be held in the Asia/Australia/Pacific Islands region (Singapore, Singapore), the second meeting will be held in the Latin America/Caribbean Islands region, and the third meeting in the Europe region (Dublin, Ireland). All NomCom Selectees are expected to travel and participate in ICANN's Public Meetings. Reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings will be reimbursed in accordance with ICANN's travel policies. =============== Specific ccNSO Council requirements The Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) is a policy-development body responsible for developing and recommending to the Board global policies relating to country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs), nurturing consensus across the ccNSO's community, including the name-related activities of ccTLDs; and coordinating with other ICANN Supporting Organizations, Committees, and Constituencies. For more information on the work of the ccNSO Council, see http://ccnso.icann.org/about/. To fill one vacancy on the ccNSO Council, the NomCom is seeking accomplished persons of integrity, objectivity and intelligence who have: a commitment to ICANN's mission and an understanding of the potential impact of ICANN decisions on the global Internet community an understanding of the ccTLD issues demonstrated capacity for thoughtful group decision-making and sound judgment a willingness to serve as a volunteer, without compensation other than the reimbursement of certain expenses an ability to work and communicate in written and spoken English (although there is no requirement that English be the candidate's first language) In filling these positions, the NomCom will be seeking Council members who reflect the global diversity of the Internet community and the wide range of technical, commercial and public interest activities that are impacted by the DNS. Time Commitment and Working Practice The successful candidate will be appointed to the ccNSO Council immediately following the ICANN 2015 Annual Meeting, which is currently scheduled for 18 - 22 October 2015, through the end of the 2018 ICANN Annual Meeting. An average ccNSO Council member would spend at least 12 hours per month on Council related activities, with those chairing Working Groups or Task Forces spending at least 30 hours a month. (The commitment involves a minimum of six hours per month based on an average of 1.5 two-hour teleconferences (or physical meetings) per month plus about two hours of preparation for each meeting for reading task force reports and potentially discussing with the community. Participation in committees of the council and/or task forces could easily double that minimum time commitment.)
