Personal note from Sloba
by Slobodan Markovic Nov. 5, 2008

Nov. 5, 2008

Dear all, as you know, my term as a NomCom nominee to the ccNSO Council ends at the conclusion of the ongoing meeting in Cairo. I want to congratulate ccNSO members and the Council for all good work that was initiated and completed over the past few years (especially the work on many complex IDN-related issues and work on internal strengthening of the ccNSO, so it can better support the interests of ccTLD managers within the ICANN structure). I very much enjoyed contributing to the work of the Council and enjoyed even more the company of friendly ccTLD family members. I would also like to let you know that I have been recently appointed by the new Serbian Minister for Telecommunications and Information Society as her Special Advisor. Despite the title, my position is not specialized, so I advise the Minister on a broad range of policies, from liberalization of the telecommunications market to development of the information society in Serbia. I have been also delegated the responsibility of dealing with the domain name issues, so apart from interfacing with the local community (.rs registry, subdelegated .ac.rs and .gov.rs administrators etc), I expect to be appointed as Serbian representative to the GAC after the Cairo meeting. Given that my previous engagements (in and out of ICANN) were dominantly related to ccTLD issues, I will be very happy to continue helping the work of ccNSO in any appropriate way :-) Best regards, Sloba

updated ccNSO Travel funding paper
by Gabriella Schittek Nov. 4, 2008

Nov. 4, 2008

Dear all, It was pointed out that the suggested travel funding document, which I posted a few days ago, was a little ambiguous when describing the NomCom appointees travel funding. Following line:"The ccNSO can fund 12 persons in total, of which three must be the NomCom representatives to the ccNSO Council." Was therefore changed to "The ccNSO can fund 12 persons in total per meeting, of which three must be the three NomCom representatives to the ccNSO Council - i.e. the NomCom representatives will always receive funding for all ICANN meetings." The updated paper is attached. Gabi -----Original Message----- From: owner-ccnso-council(a)icann.org [mailto:owner-ccnso-council@icann.org] On Behalf Of Gabriella Schittek Sent: Sunday, November 02, 2008 12:19 PM To: ccnso-members(a)icann.org Cc: ccnso-council(a)icann.org Subject: [ccnso-council] ccNSO Travel funding Dear ccNSO members, ICANN has allocated funding to the ccNSO Council for travel to ICANN meetings. The fund is primarily aimed at sponsoring the ccNSO Councillors; however, the Council is also entitled to use some of the funding for other ccNSO participants. The ccNSO Council was requested to create a travel fund process to define how the funding shall be used. The suggested process is attached. It will be discussed during the Processes Working Group session on Tuesday and will be up for voting during the Council meeting on Wednesday. Kind regards, Gabi
