Fwd: Heads-up
by Alejandra Reynoso Barral April 15, 2024

April 15, 2024

Dear Councillors Please find below Katrina's update on the analysis of sections 2-6 of the ccPDP Review Mechanism Board Report. Best regards, Alejandra ******************************************* Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. Sing like nobody's listening. And live like it's Heaven on Earth. ******************************************* ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Katrina Sataki <katrina(a)nic.lv> Date: Fri, Apr 12, 2024 at 5:48 PM Subject: Heads-up To: Alejandra Reynoso Barral <alejandra.reynoso(a)gmail.com>, Patricio Poblete <ppoblete(a)nic.cl> Dear Alejandra, As we reported to you earlier, after closure of the Bylaw required Public Comment and requesting GAC advice - the Caucus support staff started an in-depth analysis of Sections 2-6 of the Board report as part of the assessment of the feasibility of implementation of the ccPDP Review Mechanism. The objective of the analysis is to ensure that the understanding and interpretation of the proposed policy is unambiguous and aligns with the intentions of the ccNSO. This analysis is nearly completed and we expect to send you the request for additional information in the week of 22-26 April 2024. The additional information is sought using two types of questions: • Requests for confirmation: The purpose of these requests is to seek confirmation from the ccNSO that ICANN’s understanding and/or interpretation of a specific text is correct and aligns with what the ccNSO intended. • Requests for clarification: The purpose of these requests is to seek further information or clarification from the ccNSO on a specific topic that is not clear from the language of the CCRM Policy. The additional information is needed to assess whether implementation of the proposed review mechanism is feasible and/or what modifications may be needed in order for it to be feasible. In the meantime, if you have any questions on this topic, please do not hesitate to reach out to any of us! Kind regards ]{atrina

Item 18 Council meeting 204
by Bart Boswinkel April 15, 2024

April 15, 2024

Dear all, Please find included background material agenda item 18 of the agenda for the upcoming Council meeting 204. Topic: review of the OISC. The recommendation of the Review Team is to “disbanden the OISC in its current format be disbanded, but we are very concerned to ensure that the mentoring of new and prospective community members is not lost as a valuable activity. Either ccNSO community leaders (including all council members) should all collectively take up the slack with a mentoring programme, or perhaps a specific mentoring initiative to build up a pipeline of future ccNSO participants should be curated, with the objective of ensuring the passing over of ccNSO know-how and history to those who will hold leadership roles in the future.” Kind regards, Bart

FW: [CORRESPONDENCE] Tripti Sinha to Alejandra Reynoso - Reminder RE: PICs/RVCs Consultation
by Bart Boswinkel April 8, 2024

April 8, 2024

Dear all, Please find included a letter from Tripti Sinha regarding the Community Consultation on PICs/RVCs in response to the Council letter dated 30 January 2024. The Council is requested to reconsider by 12 April 2024 its initial response and “provide input to the questions, particularly regarding the consultation topic 2 concerning the ICANN Bylaws. The purpose of this consultation is twofold: 1. To solicit community feedback on a proposed framework for the implementation of these recommended commitments in the New gTLD Program: Next Round. 2. To ensure the Board understands whether the broader ICANN community supports ICANN’s enforcement of contractual terms that could be argued to regulate content in gTLDs and, if so, whether the community also supports an amendment to the ICANN Bylaws to clarify ICANN’s ability to do so.” The Council letter was sent 30 January 2024 and can be found here: https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/sinha-to-reynoso… . This letter was a response to the letter from Tripti Sinha dated 7 December 2023 (https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/sinha-to-reynoso….

ICANN Blog: ICANN Continuous Improvement Program Makes Progress on a Draft Framework
by Kimberly Carlson March 28, 2024

March 28, 2024

https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-continuous-improvement-program… ICANN Continuous Improvement Program Makes Progress on a Draft Framework This year, a central focus of the ICANN organization is supporting community work to improve how different ICANN Reviews<https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews> are organized, carried out, and implemented. One area of this important work focuses on evolving Organizational Reviews<https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/org> that examine the community structures that make up ICANN's multistakeholder model. Historically, these Reviews have been conducted by an independent examiner; however, the last Accountability and Transparency Review (ATRT3) recommended<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=273454168> that Organizational Reviews should be evolved into a Continuous Improvement Program (CIP) led by the ICANN community. The Board made the decision to defer<https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-r…> upcoming Organizational Reviews until 2025 so that this recommendation and others from ATRT3 could be implemented. To champion the work to evolve Organizational Reviews, the Continuous Improvement Program Community Coordination Group (CIP-CCG) was launched in January 2024<https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-launches-the-continuou…>. With 21 out of 22 community groups across ICANN represented in the coordination group, it is clear that the ICANN community is very interested in this effort. We are grateful to these community volunteers for their enthusiasm and commitment. The volunteers have an important role to engage regularly with their community groups throughout 2024 and to solicit feedback on the important work in progress. At the ICANN79 Community Forum in Puerto Rico, CIP-CCG volunteers held their first hybrid working meeting<https://icann79.sched.com/event/1a1F8/continuous-improvement-program-commun…>. During this meeting<https://icann79.sched.com/event/1a1F8/continuous-improvement-program-commun…>, the group made substantial progress toward developing common principles for the ICANN CIP. These principles stem from Article 4.4 of the ICANN Bylaws<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article4.4> that describe the objectives for Organizational Reviews and will provide a common base for the assessment of the different ICANN community structures. The group's next steps will be to use the principles to build out the draft CIP Framework for Public Comment later this year. The goal of this work is to provide a new framework by the start of calendar year 2025 for ICANN's Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees, and the Nominating Committee that could replace Organizational Reviews with a more flexible methodology to measure a structure's impact and effectiveness, while allowing groups to focus on improvements that are relevant to their specific purpose and stakeholders. The CIP-CCG meeting held during ICANN79 was positive and productive in laying a solid foundation for the CIP-CCG to advance this mission. We look forward to supporting the work of the ICANN community in this significant task and encourage the community to follow the work on the CIP and provide input to their respective representatives as work progresses.
