Call for Volunteer for Focus Group to assist ICANN staff's implementation of ATRT recommendations
by Bart Boswinkel July 1, 2011

July 1, 2011

Dear all, A few days ago ( 27 June) Lesley forwarded you a request from ICANN staff to identify 1 volunteer from the ccNSO to participate in a Focus Group to assist ICANN staff in implementing ATRT Recommendations 15, 16 and 17. Filiz Yilmaz has send additional information ( included) on purpose etc of the Focus Group. The Focus Group will work through July and August. If you want to participate please let us know preferably before 8 July 2011 (within one week). Kind regards, Bart ---------------------------------------- Dear Community Leaders, I communicated to you in Singapore that we would like to receive your support in forming a Focus Group to provide some initial feedback on two specific Public Comment implementation proposals relating to ATRT Recommendations 15, 16 and 17. This email is intended to provide additional details to help you in identifying individuals to participate in this activity. Purpose: To help ICANN Staff assess the usability and viability of certain implementation constructs related to the Public Comment process as recommended by the ATRT. Team Members: We would prefer to keep the Focus Group relatively small and are therefore requesting one representative from of each ICANN SO, AC or SG. Methodology: Due to the challenges in scheduling telephone calls/meetings and considering the nature of the topics/questions, our plan is that the group will interact and collaborate via a dedicated space within ICANN's Confluence Wiki environment. Details (e.g., links, login information) will be sent to the volunteers separately. At this time, no meetings are planned. Duration: We anticipate that the feedback period will last one month from 20 July through 19 August at which point the dedicated Wiki space will be closed. Content: ICANN Staff will outline two current proposals to the Focus Group and collect initial feedback (via the Wiki). The two specific topics that the Focus Group's will be asked to provide feedback are: Topic 1: Stratification/Prioritization of Public Comments Topic 2. Comment/Reply Structure for Public Comments Scope: The Focus Group will be asked specific questions concerning the topics listed above and feedback/responses will be collected via the Wiki. The ATRT Recommendations have been reviewed by the ICANN Community and approved by the ICANN Board; therefore, the Focus Group will not be asked to validate the ATRT Recommendations themselves. Outcomes: The Wiki collaboration and discussion threads will be used by Staff to inform its planning concerning the implementation topics listed above. Staff does not plan to issue any written reports or summaries of the Focus Group's deliberations; however, the Wiki may be opened for public read access once the work is completed. Elements of the feedback may be incorporated into a formal Public Comment solicitation that will deal with these same topics circa September 2011. I hope you find the above information helpful in identifying and selecting candidates to help with this feedback process. We hope to hear back from you with one volunteer contact detail from your group latest by 13 July 2011, in order to start the activity as outlined above. Kind regards, Filiz Yilmaz Sr Dir Participation and Engagement ICANN

Cover letter .NA application
by Bart Boswinkel June 29, 2011

June 29, 2011

Dear all, Included the cover letters for .NA and the .NU (from 2003). The Launching Group approved the .NU application and noted the cover letter did not impact the terms of membership. Becky and I checked and the statements included in the cover letter from of .NA do not have any impact on the terms of membership according to the Bylaws nor do they effect the activities of the ccNSO. The cover letter also has no effect on the commitments contained in the application for ccNSO membership. If we are to be consistent with the decision in 2003, the cover letter can be treated in the same fashion, and the application approved. We strongly urge that the Council act on .NA’s membership application by email as soon as possible. Kind regards, Bart

Re: [ccnso-council] Cover letter .NA application
by Dr Paulos Nyirenda June 29, 2011

June 29, 2011

No objection to the .NA application to join the ccNSO. However, the issue of fees is relevant to this issue since the ICANN bylaws clearly indicate that the "ccNSO Council shall establish fees to be paid by ccNSO members" , but, it indeed currently has zero impact, as of now, only because the current fee is at zero. We can also choose to ignore the first bullet in the cover letter because it is clearly only relevant, as the letter clearly indicates, only "at this point". There is zero chance that it will always remain relevant.
