Katrina and fellow Council members,

This proposed definition from ICANN staff is defective on several levels.  Below is a proposed alternative definition for consideration:

The ccNSO is one of three Supporting Organizations in the ICANN community.

Through the ccNSO, ccTLD Managers work together with each other and within ICANN with other stakeholders and communities.

The ccNSO develops a limited set of global policies applicable to its members who are country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) Managers.

Any definition of the ccNSO must in my view explicitly proscribe the applicability of ccNSO policy.

Best Regards,

/Stephen

Subject: Response needed (ccNSO): Definition for ICANN acronyms and terms feature

Dear Katrina,

As part of the ongoing Information Transparency Initiative (ITI), we are updating the ICANN acronyms and terms feature on icann.org. Our goal is to provide simple and consistent definitions for the community, including non-native English speakers and newcomers. 

We propose the following definition for the ccNSO. Please let us know by Tuesday, 16 April if we can proceed with the following definition, or if you have any minor changes to suggest:

One of three Supporting Organizations in the ICANN community. The ccNSO develops global policies relating to country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). Its membership consists of ccTLD managers. Through the ccNSO, ccTLD managers work together within ICANN with other stakeholders and communities.

The ccNSO Council manages the policy development process relating to ccTLDs.

We will also include a link to your community’s website, so that a user can learn additional information about your group.

Thank you in advance, and we look forward to your feedback.

Kind regards,


Chantelle
