Subject: Call for Council volunteer(s) to participate in CSC review preparatory group.

Dear all,

As you will recall the CSC charter will need to be reviewed by the RySG and ccNSO one year after the CSC has become operational, so starting at or around 1 October 2017.

In Copenhagen, the ccNSO Council and RySg agreed to form a small light weight working party that would prepare the Charter review, the agreed timeline is:

May- June 2017: draft terms/parameters review (ccNSO and RySG team).

-        mid – June 2017:  Propose terms of reference review to RySG and ccNSO

-        June agreement/adoption terms of review at ICANN 59.

-        October 2017 kick-off review

-        Annual meeting (ICANN 60). Public consultation

-        Preparation final report, include proposed changes charter

-        Adoption Final report RySG and ccNSO January/February 2018

-        Submit updated charter to GNSO and ccNSO Council for adoption by ICANN 61

The preparatory team is supposed to be very small, preferably 2-3 persons from the ccNSO and 2-3 from RySG. In to prepare the review properly one or two Councilors are invited to participate as well as one person who was involved in the discussions that led to the creation of the CSC.  

Could you be so kind to consider whether you would be available and willing to participate in the preparatory group?

It is expected that it will take 1-2 hours per week for the upcoming weeks leading up to Johannesburg meeting.

FYI: Maarten Simon and Martin Boyle have also been asked, as former members/ people close to the initial discussions on the CSC and development of its charter.

Please note thatthis small group is about defining the terms of reference for the review it will NOT lead the actual review, which will be conducted by another group, following a call for volunteers to the community.  

Kind regards,

Bart

Agreed principles between ccNSO and RySG to date:

-        Small review team (3 members RySG, 3 members ccNSO)

-        Include appointed CSC members as advisors

-        Check with full CSC potential areas of improvement

-        Light weight approach
