3.2 Discussion

3.3 Replacement Patricio Poblete on ccWorking Group Internet Governance

Background

Patricio has stepped down as volunteer not the ccWG Internet Governance. To date Keith Davidson and Jordan Carter are ccNSO members on this group.

To ensure all calls are attended by a ccNSO representative the ccNSO Council seeks an additional volunteer for the ccWG "Internet Governance". If the Ad-Hoc Study Group is established ( see agenda item 3.4) this volunteer ail become member of this group as well.

3.4 Formation Study Group

Background

At its meeting in Buenos Aires (20 November 2013), the ccNSO Council discussed the need to keep track of the developments in the various Internet Governance tracks such as the IStar group, 1Net, the Brazil conference on Internet Governance and ICANN’s Strategy Panels. Volunteers related to ccTLDs and ccTLD regional Organizations offered to keep track of the developments, and inform the ccNSO on a regular basis. In order to structure the efforts of these volunteers and keep the ccNSO membership and the broader ccTLD community abreast of the developments it is suggested to create an Ad-Hoc Group on “Internet Governance”, which will initially include the volunteers already active. The volunteers have been informed and no disagreement been noted. A draft Statement of Purpose for the group has been circulated on the ccNSO Council email list.

Draft Resolution

The ccNSO Council:

Adopts the proposed statement on purpose and scope of activities “Internet Governance” study group.
Appoints its chair Byron Holland ( .ca) as the chair of the group, and request the chair to ask the volunteers, who already keep track of the developments to participate as volunteer of this group.
Requests the secretariat to set-up a webpage on the ccNSO web-site with purpose to disseminate relevant information to the ccNSO membership and ccTLD community at-large

4) ccNSO Sponsored Lunches

Background

Since the beginning of the ccNSO, the ccTLD Community has been invited to sponsored lunches during the two ccNSO meeting days. When possible, the Tech Day participants have also received sponsored boxed lunches. Arranging these lunches has been an extra service in order to create a good and uniting atmosphere among the community. However, providing the sponsored lunches have become challenging, due to:

Increased membership and attendance of ccNSO meetings.The number of attendees has increased, lately surpassing the number of available seats/ free lunch tickets
Increased pricing;
Difficulty in finding adequate sponsoring
Disproportionate burden on the secretariat
