11.
Approval Board Report ccPDP4 (de-)selection of IDN ccTLD strings and variants.
Approval report
I want to use this opportunity again to thank the ccPDP4 WG for their work and bringing this ccPDP to conclusion from our perspective. I also want to note that
this closes over 7 years of policy development work, starting with the drafting of the issue report for ccPDP3 more than 7 years ago.
Move? Olga
Second? Pablo
Questions, comments? None
Passed unanimously
12.
Adoption ccNSO FY 25-26 Portfolio of Activities
Although some of you were not able to join the Council work session on 30 May, those of you who did will remember that we and the chairs and vice-chairs of the various
committees and groups had an extensive run through the ccNSO portfolio of activities for the upcoming two years. The conclusion was that all activities were captured and scheduled.
Once the portfolio is approved and adopted this overview will serve as a comprehensive baseline against which the Triage committee can monitor on our behalf progress
of the various work streams and report to us on a quarterly basis.
I also want to draw your attention again that we as Council will still need to make an additional step - that may turn out to be the hardest - and that is around
including volunteer and staff resources, to be able to truly start prioritizing our work. A good example for the need of this approach was the conflict between the work on the Gap analysis and the preparing the responses to the Board Caucus group. The core
of the Gap analysis council group is also involved in the repose group,
It is my understanding the the Triage committee will further focus on the resourcing part of the balancing act
Nick: chair of Triage Committee asks for broad support for the plan. Has been published for transparency. It is a short document. Most eyes on the document
Move: Stephen
Second: (not audible)
Questions or comments? None
Adopted
13.
Adoption Charter ccNSO Policy Gap Analysis Working Group
a.
Adoption charter
b.
Call for Volunteers
Jordan; support for establishment of the group
Work done since Hamburg,it is clear there are gaps. Some come from the Lebanon cases, others from IANA. important gaps, that need to be filled. Strong sentiments,
but not unanimous. Thus further work in a structured way needed. Delicate issues, thus delicate approach needed.
Alejandra: charter of this working group has been circulated on the email list. I also want to draw your attention to the fact that this is a charter for a working
group, implying that the duration is limited.
Jordan: 5 month timeframe. Until end of the year
Olga: volunteering
Jordan: see item 13 b on the agenda
Move? Sean
Second? Biyi
Any comments or questions? None
All in favour
Now we have adopted the Charter, we need to get the working group up and running as soon as possible. For that reason you see a resolution in front of you to mandate
the secretariat to do whatever is necessary to establish the PGA WG and to seek volunteers as soon as possible, so the group can continue the work of the ad-hoc group and start as soon as possible to keep the momentum going.
As you see this is the first one of a series of seven (7) calls for volunteers in front of us.
To avoid a perfect storm of these calls, some of the resolutions have been structured in such a way that the secretariat is first asked to suggest the timing, before
launching a call for volunteers.
In our view, the main priority is on the PGA WG and CSC.
Followed by a call for a ccNSO representative on the NomCom, and then the other calls for volunteers. All are important, but some are more urgent than others.
Move? Olga
Second? Jenifer
Questions or comments? None
14.
Call for Volunteers ccNSO Onboarding and Mentoring Committee (OMC)
Again this is a call for volunteers following the recent adoption of the Terms of Reference of the OMC.
Alejandra refers to discussions regarding the World Cafe, so this is timely
All green ticks.
approved
15.
Call for Volunteers/Expression of Interest

a.

Questions or comments? None
Move? Biyi
Second? Molehe
Green ticks, approved
16.
CSC Membership Selection - Call for expression of Interest ccNSO appointed Member and Alternate & Mandate ccNSO CSC Selection Committee
We are now into the final call for expression of interest: the call for expression of interest to serve on the CSC as one of the two members. We will also need
to select an alternate. Note that it is suggested that we will not send out a call to serve as alternate, but we will ask each candidate to indicate if she or he wants to serve as alternate if not selected as a member for a period of one year.
I also want to draw your attention that the proposal is that the CSC selection committee will be mandated to coordinate the appointment with the registry stakeholder
group and the GNSO Council. To be clear: all Councillors are expected to participate in the selection process of the CS member and alternate, with one exception, if a Councillor interested in a position on the CSC
Before we go to the resolution itself, please note that in the draft agenda that was circulated last week the mandate of the CSC selection committee was to be discussed
as a separate sub item. The two subitems have now been merged.
Move? Jenifer
Second? Pablo
Any questions or comments? None
17.
Progress Response Board Caucus questions ccPDP3 Review Mechanism
Stephen: we made good progress.
Some questions refer to implementation
Jordan: progress has been made, we try not to overload the process. We look forward to a discussion with the Caucus once we have proposed answers.
Bart: this group avoids a change in policy. That makes it cumbersome
18.
Outcomes/Observations sessions ICANN80 relevant ccNSO
Chris: joint DNS Abuse session with GNSO. closer relationship worth pursuing
Olga: our own meetings. Useful and informative to have space for ccTLD News. good interaction with presenters. Need more time though
Alejandra: will pass it over to MPC.
Nick: thank yous
Alejandra: will publish.
Bart: term has not ended yet
Peter: governance structure will contain multiple seats for ccTLDs and gTLDs. Appoint more volunteers? To be discussed by council. Report to council will follow.
Bart: when do you expect council needs to discuss this ?
Peter: july meeting
Jordan: link between what Chris said in plenary on WSIS+20 and Rosemary’s publication regarding the ICANN strat. Plan. there is still a gap between what icann could
be doing and accelerating technical coordination. Please have vocal conversations with ICANN’s executives. To deal with this serious matter in a more important way than what happened so far.
Chris: we could send a letter to ICANN. Saying that we core points central voice in the MSM model.
Tatiana: letter is a good idea
Peter: before we write a letter, make a subtle distinction.
Observed void that the org left in the coordination of the technical community. Lack of action or sense of urgency from ICANN. Be careful: icann taking the lead
in coordination the technical community
Tatiana: taking the strong lead vs the lack of actions. Better understand
Jordan: I am happy to have a go with Chris, Peter, Tatiana to draft something for the Council to take a look at in July
Chris: ICANN as central voice in the community.
Bart: early next week, let’s send out a call for drafters.
Link with strategic planning. Make that observation this afternoon as well with the Board
Rosemary; coordinate comments. Basis for SOPC to work on strategic plan comments
Alejandra: useful exercise, ok with call for volunteers for drafting a letter.
Bart: and raise it today during the plenary session on the strat. Plan.
