In order to prepare for the webinar, a copy of the draft guideline will be shared with the ccTLD community shortly. Background According to the ICANN Bylaws, the Empowered Community needs to approve certain actions to become effective (“Approval Actions”). The Empowered Community (EC) includes the ccNSO. Other Decisional Participants are ALAC, ASO, GAC, and GNSO. In addition, the EC may object to certain actions (“Rejection Actions”). The ccNSO as Decisional Participant is developing internal Guidelines<https://ccnso.icann.org/en/about/guidelines.htm> to structure the Approval Action and Rejection Action processes. How to Join The webinar will run in English and will be conducted in Adobe Connect along with a dial-in conference bridge for audio. Recordings of the sessions will be made available.
