Nigel, all To date practice has been that the ccNSO members list is for members of the ccNSO only. Subscribing either NomCom appointees on the Council or Councillors who are not (longer) associated with a ccTLD would require a Council decision (see section 10 cNSO meetings Guideline). We as secretariat do not make changes to these email lists without prior Council approval for the change of practices or procedure. From a practical point of view, following your earlier emails, this would have been put on the agenda for the upcoming Council call. As such I understand your request as putting this item either on the agenda for the upcoming council call or requesting an email Council vote. Kind regards, Bart Please note the ccNSO Members meeting Guideline, section 10: 10. The ccNSO Members email list The ccNSO Members will have their own email list, which will be maintained by the ccNSO secretariat. Subscribers to the list are: € ccNSO members for the duration of their membership € L iaisons to the ccNSO Council as defined in Article IX section 3.2 of the ICANN bylaw, for the duration of their designation ; € Observers to the ccNSO Council as defined in Article IX section 3.3 of the ICANN bylaws, for the duration of their designation; € The ccNSO secretariat, and IANA ccTLD liaison € Others, at their request and after approval of the ccNSO Council, for the Duration subscription is granted by the ccNSO Council. This Guideline will be reviewed by Guideline Review Committee On 06/05/15 12:08, "Nigel Roberts" <nigel@channelisles.net> wrote:
I don't understand why any of this remains controversial, and I thought it had been settled.
NomCom appointed Council Members should by default be subscribed to the communication lists of the SO of which they are Council Members of. There can be no reason to refuse NomCom Appointed Members access to the ccNSO's main discussion list.
Likewise, Council Members who leave their employment with a ccNSO Member remain a council member. According to ICANN bylaws, Councillors serve in a personal capacity.
Obviously it is right and propoer that they are unsubscribed if they are subscribed under an address at their previous place of work (this is obvious since the mail will no longer reach them!!).
However, I can see no justification for any policy previously adopted by the ccNSO prohibiting access to ANY ccNSO communication meduym by any ccNSO Councillor in either of the above two categories.
I therefore formally ask the Chair and Vice-Chairs please to either agree the above and allow the four missing Councillors to be subscribed to the ccNSO lists, or in the case of any doubt, seek the opinion of ICANN's Office of General Counsel.
