Update on my participation in ccNSO affairs
by Stephen Deerhake ＠ ASNIC Dec. 16, 2024

Dec. 16, 2024

Greetings fellow Council members, First, let me apologize for missing the last Council call, which as you know I rarely do. Second, thank you to those who have reached out to me regarding my well-being; that is greatly appreciated. I am glad to report that I am fine, having recently had a lovely holiday in Berlin with an old University mate, and planning to attend the APTLD meeting in Hong Kong in February, as well as the ICANN meeting in Seattle in March. My inattentiveness of late to Council/GRC matters has been due to a family matter which I will share with you as a wakeup call for all of us. Three weeks and two days ago, my wife's Great Aunt, a vibrant, 86 year old, 50+ year Manhattan New York City resident, was on her way from her residence to the Subway to attend a play, when she became the victim of a hit and run automobile accident (an illegal left turn), which left her with a skull fracture, severe brain damage, a broken tibia, a broken ankle, a broken clavicle, and severe bodily bruising. Three weeks in since this incident, she has no idea who she is, where she is, why she is where she is, who her great aunt is, nor who I am. This situation is most unlikely to improve much... She was meticulously organized with her affairs, up to a point. I am her executor, which gratefully I am not in that role at the moment, but expect to be in the not too distant future. She left meticulous details regarding her funeral service, which I transmitted to the Rectors of her Church on Saturday She left meticulous details regarding her end of life care decisions, which my wife has transmitted to the Hospital caring for her. She left less than precise details regarding her daily financial operations (mostly on-line, but no login or password credentials, and only a vague notion of who her banker or financial provider are.) She left less than meticulous details regarding what her long-term disability health care insurance situation is; although after a weekend of research, I think it looks OK. I realise that this is an incredibly personal correspondence to pop up on the Council list, but I share all this with you as to (a) let you know that I am OK, and (b) issue you all a wake-up call to document everything for your heirs for when you are gone. God knows it's a wakeup call for me. You just cannot leave behind too much documentation for your heirs. I thank you for your understanding of my recent lack of participation in ccNSO Council affairs. I hope to re-engage soonest, and look forward to seeing you all again in Seattle. Best Regards, //Stephen

by Joke Braeken Dec. 12, 2024

Progress ccPDP3-RM and ccPDP4-IDNs Board Consideration >>> ccPDP3-RM For information Background material, note form Becky Burr chair Board caucus ccPDP3-RM and letter Sally Costerton to Nigel Roberts As you may have noted we received a note from Becky accepting our invitation to have a conversation about any issues that are still open. The note also included a reference to a letter from Sally Costerton to Nigel in response to his question about the interpretation of section 15a of Annex B of the Bylaws. Jordan and Alejandra also received a formal note from Stephen, alluding to private conversations he had with Becky and Bart about caucus & staff conversations about progress on the ccPDP3-RM and suggesting that Stephen and Jordan will be involved in any discussions between ICANN Staff and the Board regarding the proposed Review Mechanism policy. Meeting with the board caucus and staff Tentative date for such a meeting is 30 January. Becky indicated that prior to the meeting we will receive an overview of the issues that need further clarification. Going forward I suggest the following: 1. On the Council members who served on the drafting will meet with the board caucus and staff on 30 January 2. We will confirm on our call of 16 January who from Council will attend the 30 January meeting. 3. Assuming we will receive the overview ahead of the 30 January meeting, we will organize a meeting with the drafting team to prepare for the meeting with the caucus and staff. Interpretation of section 15a As said the note also includes a reference to a letter from Sally Coserton to Nigel on the interpretation of section 15a of Annex B of the Bylaws by ICANN. The link to the letter was forwarded to you. In my view this letter addresses our question for a formal written statement on the interpretation of section 15 a, specifically on the interpretation about the board procedures and duration of these considerations. Although some of us may disagree with the position laid out in the letter from my end it closes this discussion. Jordan: agree with the explanation that ICANN presented on this matter. Alejandra: me too. >>> ccPDP4-IDN Bart: Public comment by the Board has closed. 2 comments received. No changes needed to proposed policy. GAC will likely not express any concerns on the policy itself. The chair of the GAC will send a letter to Chair of theBoard, that there is no concern. Board Caucus was established. Patricio is chair. Caucus will meet shortly. Staff looked into feasibility and looked into matters. Patricio: caucus had an organisational meeting. The first substantive meeting tomorrow. Real work starts now 11. Update Chair, Vice-chairs, Councillors, Regional Organisations and Secretariat Alejandra: * LACTLD Election webinar * SO/AC Chairs last night (Mary & Sally) - meeting strategy. See further on in the agenda. We will receive strawman latest next week. a. Secretariat update: move from Sugar to CES as CRM Joke: the ccNSO will soon be using ICANN's new Community Engagement System (CES) to manage stakeholder participation. Why? To streamline the management of ccNSO membership and ensure compliance with applicable laws. Action required: To facilitate the transfer and to ensure that data is processed in compliance with applicable laws, we ask you to create and maintain a personal ICANN Account if you do not already have one. https://ccnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-02dec24-en.htm ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS & DECISIONS 12. Approval Action decision on change Sections 4.2 and 4.3 ICANN Bylaws For decision: Approval to change Fundamental Bylaw Section 4.2 (reconsideration) and Section 4.3 (Independent Review Process for covered actions) - exclude disputes and claims pertaining to decisions Grant program. Move? Jordan Second? Pablo Questions or comments regarding the resolution? None Resolution has been adopted. Jordan: typo in the resolution (from-form) 13.

Barack stepped forward. Any questions? none >> Meeting strat. Review WG Secondly, the appointment of Jodi and Molehe to the Strategy meeting review group. As you recall the basic idea was to create a small team that after reviewing the current meeting practice would make suggestions to improve the efficiency ( and effectiveness). These suggestions would then be discussed by the community and open for public comment and subject to final discussion by us. The notes from the roundtable and draft charter were forwarded. Although we realise there is broad interest in participation in this group Biyi, Jordan, and I concluded that we needed a member and alternate, who have not been directly involved with the current strategy, either when it was created or in working under it. As you know this is our own practice when we review our working groups or processes. Secondly, we believe that diversity was a key characteristic, not only geographically, but also in other areas. We therefore approached Jodi and Molehe. Any questions? none >> FIN2 WG The appointment of the members to the 2nd Finance working group follows our regular process after a call for volunteers. Note that the chair and vice-chair of the SOPC are part of the group ex-officio. Any questions? Bart: suggestion to keep the application form open one additional week. Seen the short deadline to apply. Jordan: i support. One of my colleagues Nick: i support. Our CFO is new to ICANN working groups. Important work Bart: meeting to bring everyone up to speed. >> Excellence Award As to selection of members for the Excellence Award selection panel. We have to appoint two new members. These members are expected to have a broad and extensive knowledge of the community and be able to assess the contributions of community members to consensus-based solutions and the ICANN multistakeholder model. For this reason we suggest that Wafa and Demi take on this role. Questions? none >> Fellowship & SOPC With respect to the other 3 groups (Fellowship Mentor, Fellowship Selection Committee and SOPC), they all follow regular procedure Questions? None Move? Biyi Second? Pablo Questions or comments regarding the resolution? None Resolution has been adopted. 16. Progress Review of DASC Ai-Chin: the RT (Sean, Molehe, Ai-Chin) conducted interviews. Results based on their response. We developed a matrix, to determine whether DASC fulfilled its mission as per its ToR. The RT prepared 2 recommendations. Key recommendations • Continue DASC: Respondents overwhelmingly supported the continuation of the working group. Exploring new goals, such as focusing on broader threats or expanding outreach to diverse communities, could enhance the group's future impact. • New Focus:. The DASC could come up with a flexible description to provide greater clarity and improve understanding for all stakeholders. What’s next: - Review of draft, to be done by Friday - Share draft outcome report with Nick, Bruce and David to seek their feedback - Finalize report: 9 January 2025 (06.00 UTC) - Submit to Council for adoption by 13 January Alejandra: nice and organised way to conduct the review Nick: agree. Good to combine this with an in-person meeting. Nice to feel it was an inclusive process. Use as playbook for other reviews. Use resources effectively and optimise. Alejandra: looking forward to the report. let’s add this to the agenda for our Council meeting on 16 January SUBSTANTIVE MATTERS & DECISIONS 17. Next steps developing roadmap increasing capacity of ccNSO Follow-up and next steps Council workshop ICANN81. Background material: Notes from ICANN81 workshop, mapping of suggestions. Bart: this is about measurement. What can the ccNSO do to increase and improve the capacity of the ccNSO? Succession planning and impact on resourcing. Interesting way of looking at it. If you look what can drive the increase of resources, volunteers and resources, it starts with onboarding, mentoring. Mandate of OMC. various elements to this. Statements like training and learning. Suggestion, after discussion with Triage, do a second virtual workshop. What do we need to increase? Jordan: triage the recommendations. From a map to a plan. Did the triage consider coming up with a draft plan? Be faster and quicker, and avoid another round of brainstorming. Bart: people who are involved should have a shared understanding of what we try to do. Council workshop in Seattle. Present to the community afterwards. Have also chairs of the various WG involved. End result will have more legitimacy and support. 18. Continuous Improvement Framework & Pilot Holistic Review a. Input on CI framework in close collaboration with GRC: https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/continuous-improvement-p…<https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/continuous-improvement-p…> Alejandra: ccnso council needs to comment. Draft to be prepared by GRC. do you agree we should provide a comment? No hands raised. b. Progress Pilot Holistic Review Chris: stuck. Question about timing. If the role of the PHR is to build the mechanism to review the CIF, how do you do that, if you do not know how the CI process will look like, and is still out for comment? Groups is trying to decide. Step back, and wait for the work to build the CIF to finish. Next call in January. Hope we will come to a conclusion. Jordan: why does it take so long? Chris: no consensus on role of HR. restructure icann? Review the continuous improvement work of the SO/ACs? Thirdly, review the work of SO/AC, and then recommend restructuring - if any - without concrete suggestions. 19. Preliminary Block Schedule ICANN82 Alejandra: speaks to preliminary block schedule. WG and Committee meetings over the weekend, Tech Day on Monday. Members meeting Tue & Wed Joint session with GAC. how to build stronger relationships? Liaisons are discussing topics of interest Council meets on Thursday. “Community session” used to be known as “plenary session” previously. Do we need one? No answer yet from SO/AC leaders.
