REMINDER: Formation of a Continuous Improvement Program Community Coordination Group (CIP-CCG) ICANN org reached out to SO/AC Chairs and sent them a full letter and a draft CIP-CCG terms of reference to propose the formation of a CIP-CCG to convene in December 2023. The goal is to develop a framework for implementation of ATRT3 Recommendation 3.6. The feedback from SO/AC Chairs is expected by 30 November. THIS WEEK: Retirement of Non-Policy Recommendations ICANN org shared a document named "Draft Process to Retire Non-Policy Recommendations" with SO/AC Chairs and expects their feedback by 30 November. The process pertains exclusively to non-policy recommendations that emerge from Reviews and Cross-Community Working Groups, aligning with the objective of the implementation of ATRT3 Recommendation 5. Action Items THIS WEEK 🔥 ACTION ITEM: Call for Volunteers: Join the Community Coordination Group (CIP-CCG) that will help design the future Continuous Improvement Program The leadership of the ICANN Supporting Organizations (SOs), Advisory Committees (ACs), and their constituent stakeholder groups (22 total including the Nominating Committee) will be appointing one representative (with an optional secondary alternate) to join the Continuous Improvement Program Community Coordination Group (CIP-CCG). Appointees are expected to be identified by the end of November 2023, with a view toward an initial meeting in December 2023. Please share your interest in participation with your structure’s leadership. The CIP-CCG will be responsible for helping to design and implement a Continuous Improvement Program. This is a great opportunity to take a leadership role in designing a program which will have lasting impact on the effectiveness and accountability of your community structure. In this work, the Community Coordination Group will be responsible for: 1. Developing a shared understanding of the meaning of Continuous Improvement in the context of ATRT3 Recommendation 3.6, calling for Organizational Reviews to be evolved into a Continuous Improvement Program (CIP), 2. Considering a range of methodologies for effective continuous improvement programs, 3. Agreeing on the methodology that is fit for ICANN purpose, and 4. Formulating a CIP Framework, to be used by each SO, AC and NomCom. For transparency of the process, input received will be posted on a community page at https://community.icann.org/x/WJRME. 🔥 ACTION ITEM: ICANN Community Excellence Award Selection Panel ICANN Supporting Organization and Advisory Committee Leaderships are invited to appoint up to two individuals from their communities to comprise the 2024 ICANN Community Excellence Award Selection Panel by Monday, 11 December 2023. 2024 ICANN Community Excellence Award will be presented at ICANN79 in San Juan.
