Draft displayed on screen. Main message: strict neutrality of the ccNSO. Green ticks in zoom. Questions: When to issue the statement? Asap Irina: I should refrain from discussing/voting on this I believe Javier: agrees with neutrality. Is it appropriate to add that this is the official position of Council, and not necessarily the opinion of personal councillors Alejandra: yes, statement ccNSO, of its Council. Any personal opinions remain personal. Whether it should be added to the statement? Not sure. Chris: is fine with the statement. Will review the actual text. Understands it needs to be carefully phrased, not to be misinterpreted Every ccTLD is sovereign. Decisions by ccTLD managers remain their decisions. Tatiana: agrees with Chris. Important that the statement goes out. Cannot be misinterpreted that certain councillors diminish the human tragedy. It should not look like we ignore what happens. We do not. We fulfill our function. Alejandra: understood. We will circulate in a google doc. Please comment. The statement should be sent Friday. Jordan: difficult issue. This is the right approach for us to take as a group. Action item: Secretariat to create google doc. Deadline to comment: Thursday, 3 March (end of day) Draft fiinal version to be shared with Council for final comments Alejandra: we could be contacted regarding this and other matters Please refrain from speaking on behalf of the ccNSO. Before you do that, the matter needs to be discussed with Council. Bart: reminder about .su Alejandra: Recent article where the suggestion to remove .su from the zone is raised. individual case. The ccNSO has no opinion on individual cases. Stephen: spoke with .su representative in Dubai last week. We should stay away from this. Not for us to decide. Maintenance agency ISO Bart: In case you have not seen this article: https://domainincite.com/27553-maybe-nows-the-time-for-icann-to-start-disman... 2. ICANN 73 relevant sessions ccNSO bilateral meetings: 1. REMINDER: no joint ccNSO – GNSO meeting 2. Joint session: ccNSO and GAC<https://73.schedule.icann.org/meetings/RGsyFbNRyJjPpiDNh> | 1300-1400 UTC | Block 1 · PDP updates (ccPDP RM and IDN ccPDP) · DNS Abuse Joint session ccNSO-GAC link to public schedule: https://73.schedule.icann.org/meetings/RGsyFbNRyJjPpiDNh Bart shares a high-level overview of the main message that will be conveyed during the joint meeting with the GAC. general progress update about the ccPDP3 and ccPDP4 progress. Also status update on what ccNSO has been doing in terms of DNS abuse, stressing open communication channels, and invite to those interested to join the ccNSO MM session on DNS Abuse, held after the joint meeting 3. ccNSO and ccTLD-related/interested ICANN Board<https://73.schedule.icann.org/meetings/qPMMq7tfGp7tJYDKb> | 1300-1400 UTC | Block 1 a. What are your key priorities for ICANN work in 2022, how do these priorities help achieve ICANN’s common objectives as expressed in the FY 2021-2025 Strategic Plan, and how do you see Community, Board and org moving forward together on a way to achieve these? b. If any, what suggestions would you have to enhance ICANN’s effectiveness and efficiency with regards to the process of implementation after adoption of a PDP or Review recommendations? Chris: I have some thoughts on B. Do you want them in writing? Alejandra: now Chris: b does not make much sense for the ccNSO. ccNSO input from reviews, some recommendations are not for the Board. Purpose of reviews? Not binding on ccNSO. Board has a process for refusing. Not getting recommendations that are not actable on. As a review Team, or as a PDP, this is what your recommendations need to be. Recommendations outside of the Board will be ignored. Simple useful input we could provide. Stephen: Why is the board surprised our policy recommendations were submitted? Alejandra: not a surprise Chris: agrees. The key point is that we will get the standard response. This is all about prioritisation. A useful question would be: what can we do to help you to speed up the birth of the prioritsation framework, so that the work we dealt with can be treated in an appropriate timeframe Jordan: process engineering problem. Shortening the cycle. Board needs a lot of time. It is not just a prioritisation thing. Refers to session 5 years ago about icann prioritization. Alejandra: suggest to icann meeting committee to do a plenary again on that topic? Stephen: response time to requests from WGs. WG asked a question 5 months ago. No response yet. If we need ICANN legal’s opinion, and we do not get it, this blocks the community. Alejandra: not the first time we have the time issue We said to Board Ops that we will not have a joint meeting with the full Board, but we will have the Q&A instead. We will address the questions they directed at all SO/ACs, including to ccNSO. Chris: yes, will speak to this. Reminder is appreciated. Kim: will send calendar invites. Alejandra lists key priorities for the ccNSO. Bart: council started discussion UASG. Although not applicable to all ccTLDs, it is very relevant for some. We will start to explore the role of the ccNSO in addition to what is happening locally and regionally. Irina: does it make sense to mention the exercise regarding our prioritisaiton workshop? Jordan: yes, thanks. If we mention it. Our ducks in a row to do our own prioritisaiton better, and being clear about the role of the ccNSO helps us Bart: make explicit that you consider revisiting the plenary session from 5 years ago, on who sets icann priorities. 5 years later, what have we learned? Alejandra: yes, if we plan to do so, good to give a heads up Should we make those plans more concrete, and plan such a session at ICANN74?
