For Decision

 

  1. Update Triage Committee - preparation of February Council Workshop

The Triage Committee was tasked to propose a ccNSO internal framework for prioritization. It was also agreed at one of the  previous Council meetings that testing the framework and using it to set priorities for the work of the ccNSO over the next years would be subject of workshop during the February Council meeting.

For Information and Discussion

 

 

 

 

  1. Update CSC Effectiveness Review/ Appointment new member

Progress on the work of the review team: see written update. The ccNSO Council will need to appoint a new member on the review team: Jens Pétur Jensen has informed the RT that he needs to step down.

For Decision

 

  1. ccNSO & Universal Acceptance

Recently the ccNSO was approached to appoint a liaison to the community Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG) (see:

The UASG requested the ccNSO Council to appoint a liaison:

UASG leadership has reached out to ccNSO during ICANN71 for closer collaboration to support the work of ccNSO on UA.  UASG leadership thanks ccNSO for a very positive and encouraging response.

 

For better coordination on UA with ccNSO, UASG would like to request a UA liaison from ccNSO to UASG.  UASG leadership will plan to meet regularly with the ccNSO’s nominee to learn on ccNSO’s plans for UA and discuss how UASG can help provide materials and other support. UASG leadership considers that a more regular communication through the liaison will help with the coordination and progress on UA.

Going forward there are two issue that will need to be addressed:

  1. What is the role of the ccNSO with respect to Universal Acceptance, if any? Does the relevant part of the ccTLD community expect the ccNSo to take on a role, and if so, which one.
  2. Does the ccNSO Council want to appoint a liaison, if so should this be a Councillor or could this also be a ccTLD community member?

  1. Change the Rules of the ccNSO: next steps and what can Council expect?

Under assumption the Council will support the updated Internal Rules, Athe following decisions are required:

Depending on progress of the GRC, the Council may also be requested to support the new set of Internal Rules of the ccNSO, which will become effective after adoption by the ccNSO members.

During this section the Chair GRC Rules Subgroup will present the main points and what has happened since last webinar.

For Discussion and Decision

 

  1. ccNSO and DNS Abuse: what should the ccNSO do? Next steps.

The ad-hoc group ccNSO &DNS abuse has prepared a summary of ICANN72 and Workshop sessions, and an initial Roadmap for next steps. Councillors are requested to review the Initial Roadmap and provide feed-back.
