It was an interesting experience to be on the Review Team. KPI indicators: they are really good, since 2016. mid 90ies to 100%. December 21 engagement survey: 80% acceptance rate. KPI indicators
are different. interesting to find out if there is a flaw in the KPI indicators. systemic failure? to be further investigated

Update Chair, Vice-Chairs, Councillors, RO’s and Secretariat
Chris: 5 calls done. the last call was to take stock on what has been done. staff will now evaluate and get back to us. It went reasonably well as a pilot program. hopefully it will lead to a refined process in
the future. review and policy recommendations.
Please join the plenary session on prioritisation in The Hague at ICANN74.
Alejandra: ICANN will provide summary during the plenary session
SO/AC roundtable. originally on site in LA, but was diverted to virtual format in a last minute. rather be overly cautious, than deadly wrong. agenda was reduced. We discussed concerns regarding volunteers, time
at disposal, PDPs, high rotations in some communities. summary prioritisation pilot. Comment: move forward to FY24 OPS and Budget planning process. They would ask us to appoint a member by 1 June. We have not received any formal request. Chris is not aware
that this was mentioned. Alejandra: until we get the formal request, no appointment can happen.
Other topics: effectiveness Multistakeholder model: improve communications between icann and community.
Enhancing the Effectiveness of ICANN’s Multistakeholder model (Giovanni’s team)
Improve communication between ICANN & community
Consensus, Representation & Inclusivity: Consensus playbook, Fellowship Program & ICANN Learn.
Future of ICANN meetings: How to increase retention of beginners at ICANN? Fellowship program, Next Gen, ICANN Learn
How to bring beginners up to speed with complex topics?
ICANN 74: Health & Safety measures
Waiver: It is a needed document, but language was too strong. Could have been better written.
Due diligence was done & Dutch lawyers were consulted. Concerns from other SO/ACs whether people will not participate due to the waiver.
10.
Update Charters, Terms of Reference
Recurring until review of all charters and terms of reference have been completed. As expected no progress since April 2022. to be picked up by the committees after ICANN74.
Stephen: Tech WG will discuss it at ICANN74.
Item 11 - 17 for discussion or decision during the meeting
11.
Timelines Nomination process Board Seat 11 & Council elections
See set of timelines. What we need to decide: timing of the Q&A sessions with the candidates. Typically this is done at the AGM. The next AGM takes place mid-September. Q&A at ICANN75 for Council
elections is possible, but put a lot of stress on the process. For the Board nominations, a Q&A at the ICANN75 AGM is nearly impossible, due to the due diligence checks. If we do a Q&A after ICANN75, we still meet all relevant deadlines. When we do a Q&A after
ICANN75, it is more in line with previous timelines and processes, and we avoid the issue for the holiday season in the Northern Hemisphere. When to hold the Q&A? That is what we need to determine today.
Stephen: 2 issues. Board Seat, and Council Seats. correct?
Alejandra: yes
Stephen: council seats in NA informally sorted out. Do you see a change to that? timing of the council seat. We are on schedule to do what we have done in the past.
Alejandra: NA has few members. reason why we typically have the process by the end of the year. We could meet the deadline by ICANN75, but complicated. Do things in a rush. Do not see a need to
do this, prefers the usual approach.
Stephen: agrees.
Sean: agrees. looked at previous meetings. previously AGM was in November, and not in September like ICANN75. de-couple the process from AGM? Councillors take their seat in March, that a long
time from September to March. Not effective.
2 questions by Alejandra:
1/ If you’re in favor of a virtual Q&A after ICANN75 (end October-early November), please use your green ticks now.
> Green ticks, no red.
2/ If you’re in favor of a Q&A during ICANN75 in September 2022, please use your green ticks.
> no green ticks by Councilors
To do: Secretariat to prepare a timeline for both Council elections and Board nominations, for Q&A after ICANN75.
notes Sean’s observations to potentially adjust the timeline in the guideline too
Sean: for discussion on monday’s GRC meeting
12.
Impact upcoming change Article 10 and Annex B to include IDN ccTLDs in the ccNSO
GRC is working on updating the various internal procedures and processes.And that this will be part of the governance session in the Hague. Next week we might forward to Council some admin changes. That allows
the ccNSO to be well prepared for the inclusion of IDNs. Bart confirms
Council responsible for this. Here are the proposed changes to the ccNSO membership application form
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kqdbWnpO7WylUBQdA8keegv828_wSFj3z1u1yrTc9iU/edit?usp=sharing
for adoption at the council meeting in June
Joke provides high-level overview of the proposed changes
13.
Update Triage Committee. Work Plan FY 23-25
Bart: work items over the next 2 years.
work plan will be aligned with icann’s fiscal years. starting 1 july, for 2 years. We could not present a first draft, due to time constraints at the secretariat. timelines for PDPs. Also implementation
work required. usual work items such as the work of SOPC and other groups, prep of ICANN meetings. Admin work will also be included. detailed enough to work on, hopefully useful. Draft will be ready in June.

i.Joint ccNSO – GNSO meeting, Tuesday 14 June 2022, 07.00-08.00 UTC
Proposed Topics:
·
What happens after PDP recommendations are accepted by either council?
Both groups are finding that post-PDP timelines lack predictability, particularly when extending well beyond the time invested in the PDP itself. Both NSOs will share their approaches to remedy the issue and find potential mutually applicable solutions.
·
DNS Abuse
Updates from both groups on our activities on this topic and our interactions with the rest of the community.
·
EPDP Phase 2 SSAD and ODA
The GNSO would like to update the ccNSO on the latest developments of the EPDP Phase 2 – SSAD since the publication of the ODA on 25 January 2022, as the suggested direction may come of interest to certain ccTLDs in the future.
·
IDN
While the ccPDP4 is awaiting a response from the Board following the January 2022 submission of its report, one of the liaisons between it and the GNSO EPDP on IDNs may want to report on the latest developments of the later which may affect both groups [if
any].
