transition
2) Update ICANN ombudsman
Herb Waye welcomed to the
meeting. Took over as ombudsman in
July. Doing a round: leadership and council calls. Main focus: building lines of communication with leadership within the community. Expected standards of behaviour will be promoted.
Q by Byron. How do you
address the fact that it is a culturally diverse organisation? Rules and guidelines as "one-size-fits- all"? Herb: leadership within this
organisation needs to focus on how to conduct business in such a diverse community.

5.4 Change of charter
ccTLDWorld email list
aim: ccTLD community is
informed on ongoing transition and accountability work, regardless of membership to ccNSO. Byron to share plans on CSC.
Had its first conference call.
From time to time, it could be used. e.g. relevant outputs of the CSC to be shared on this list.
Peter Vergote: As this is a
well established mailing list I'm defintely in favor to keep on using it to inform all ccTLD managers on post transition items and certainly to report on CSC Alejandra grees.
Stephen Deerhake: I concur
with Byron. Very useful to have, and if the ECA ever is called into action, it will be very useful to be able to explain to the non-ICANN active ccTLD community what is going on...
Consult with community in
Hyderabad on this. The Secretariat and GRC could come up with draft charter to be presented to ccTLD managers in Hyderabad.
6) Adoption ccNSO Guidelines
* ccNSO Guideline: Special
Review teams
prepared by GRC.
hot topic. if the ccNSO
decides to participate in a review, this guideline describes selection and appointment of members to the review team.
Q by Debbie. affiliation of a person with
a ccTLD. Elegibility clause.
Katrina: max number of
members on a review team is 21. there are 7 SO/ACs. 3 members per SO/AC some communities decide not to participate, or appoint less people. If so, then the community
leaders need to decide. Each SO/AC may appoint up to 7. That pool may be used to select members to fill the missing seats.
Q by Debbie on point 4.3 of
the guideline. if a candidate does not meet the selection criteria. Process? All councilors need
to agree? Collected view, if 1 councilor does not agree?
Bart: better to phrase it
differently. “If a majority of the councilors eligible to nominate... “ To be decided upon via an e-
mail vote. Concerns to be shared via council list. Then the guideline can be in place prior to the next call for volunteers.
7) CWG Auction Proceeds, Adoption charter CWG Auction
Proceeds and call for volunteers
We were supposed to adopt the
charter. But the GNSO is doing some fine-tuning. To be adopted probably at the F2F meeting. We will probably be asked to appoint a co-chair. This is something we need to think about, whether we want this.
8) Follow-up ccNSO Council
Accountability discussion.
In Helsinki the results of
the survey were shared. Main points of the discussion that followed: - validity of the survey
- suggestions for improvement
on accountability and transparency
Example: Appointment of members to
RZERC. Currently we have 17 councillors and only 9 voted after several reminders. This is part of our accountability. Call for nomination to ICANN
Board seat 11. Seasonal discussion? Identify the root of these comments. Has the council ignored these requests to communicate? Did we fail to communicate? Apparently our discussions are not transparent to the community.
Proposed during the GRC WG session earlier this week: Also non-members of the GRC
can contribute. Affiliation of councilor/
board members/appointed members to review teams and WGs. Some concerns can be easily addressed, some require changes to the bylaws.
What we will do: publish draft agenda on
council wiki, and advertise it more actively on social media. Send out notification to
mailing list too, so that the community knows which issues are going to be addressed. Will allow us to gather early inputs. Questions? Suggestions?
Discussion during the
accountability session in Hyderabad. Be prepared. Debbie: excellent comments
you sent to the mailing list Katrina. Exactly what was needed.
9) Follow-up FoI Advisory Team
2 more council members needed
to take over the work from Becky and Keith. Are you willing to step forward? Becky remains, and Stephen
volunteered too.
