For decision
Formal adoption of letter to ICANN on carve-out reconsideration and IRP Processes (draft was circulated)
Draft Resolution
Background
Recently, the ccNSO Council was informed about the potential issues ICANN Legal identified with respect to the proposed ccTLD retirement
policy raised in its 05 April letter (see ICANN Legal 05 April 2022 Response to Binding Working Group of the ccNSO’s Policy Development Process on Review Mechanisms Regarding “Binding” Appeals):
As there is specific reference in the Retirement Policy Recommendations to the ccPDP-RM in relation to two retirement-related issues, does
the ccNSO consider both retirement issues set out at 5.2 of the Retirement Policy Recommendations as matters relating to delegation and transfer sufficient to both be excluded from the ICANN Independent Review Process?
If either or both of the items identified at 5.2 of the Retirement Policy Recommendations are not within the delegation and transfer exclusion
from the IRP, then are the ICANN org and Board to understand that the ccNSO Council, through the Retirement Policy Recommendations, are seeking an additional IRP exclusion from the ICANN Bylaws?
To ensure the issue identified by ICANN legal is resolved i.e. it is clarified all matters relating to the delegation, transfer, revocation and retirement are
to be excluded from ICANN’s Independent Review Mechanism and Reconsideration process, the ccNSO Council took the initiative to respond and clarify the position of the ccNSO in this matter. By doing so the Council wants to ensure that the Board’s consideration
process of the proposed retirement policy will be completed.
The final draft of the letter was circulated to the ccNSO Councillors as Document: item 13 meeting 185, letter July 2022.
Decision
The ccNSO Council suppors
the letter Document: item 13 meeting 185, letter July 2022, and requests its chair to send it to: ICANN Legal, the chair of the Ad-Hoc Board Group, preparing the discussion of the proposed policy
by the full ICANN Board, ICANN’s CEO and President and the chairs of the ccNSO PDP3 and 4 WGs. The secretariat is
requested to publish an announcement on the ccNSO website, after the letter has been posted in the ccNSO correspondence section.
Informational and for discussion
For decision
Background.
The changes of Article 10 and Annex B of the Bylaws have become effective. As a result the recently adopted Rules need to be updated. The GRC presented the proposed changes to the community
at ICANN74. As next step the 2022 Internal Rules need to be adopted by both Council and Membership. The change mechanism is described in section 4.1 of the Rules.
“First, and after consultation of the ccNSO Membership, at least 14 members of the ccNSO Council must vote in favor to adopt the proposed amendment of the Rules.
Following the adoption by the ccNSO Council, the proposed amendments to the Rules must be circulated to all Members and the Members vote shall start no sooner than twenty‐one (21) calendar
days and no later than twenty-eight (28) calendar days after the date the proposed amendments have been circulated to the Members.”
Draft Resolution
Decision
The ccNSO Council requests the secretariat to circulate the updated Internal Rules to the ccNSO Membership and seek feed-back, after consulting the GRC on timing and next steps. The goal
is that the Council is in a position to adopt the amended Rules by its next meeting, and circulate the proposed Rules prior to ICANN75 and call for a membership vote, which should start one week after ICANN75.
The changes of Article 10 and Annex B of the Bylaws have become effective. As a result the Guidelines: 1) ccNSO Board Seat 11 and 12 Nomination Process & 2) Council Election process both need
to be updated. The GRC presented the proposed changes to the Guidelines community at ICANN74.

The ccNSO Council decision to adopt an Operating Procedure is subject to the Members Veto Mechanism.”

The ccNSO Council requests the secretariat to inform the Council as soon as feasible about next steps with respect to adoption process of the Guidelines: 1) ccNSO Board Seat 11 and 12 Nomination
Process & 2) Council Election process
