Draft Resolution

Background

Following the adoption of ICANN’s Code of Conduct by the ICANN Board in September 2025 an update of the 2023 ccNSO Statement of Interest Guideline was considered necessary, to align the 2023 Guideline with the 2025 ICANN Code of Conduct. The GRC developed the updated version, which was circulated to Council for review in February 2026 and ccNSO Members. No suggestions were made

To align with the ICANN Code of Conduct the following changes to the 2023 ccNSO Guideline were made:

· Include Explicit reference to the ICANN Code of Conduct and clarify their relationship.

· Add the provision about non-participation when disclosure cannot be made.

· Include familial relationships in the list of interests to disclose.

· Expand examples to cover more scenarios (researchers, patent holders, consultants with multiple clients).

Excluded from the update are:

· Allow for issue-specific supplemental disclosures when interests differ by topic

· Add training and education commitments for ccNSO participants.

Decision

The ccNSO Council adopts the proposed ccNSO Guideline General Statement of Interest & ccNSO [Council] Conflict of Interest (version 2, April 2026). The Secretariat is requested to post the Guideline and this decision on the ccNSO website, and inform the various Committees and Working groups of the update of the Guideline. This decision becomes effective seven (7) days after posting of the decision.
