Meanwhile, on 12 April, the ccNSO Council has requested the ICANN Board of Directors to amend the ICANN Bylaws (https://ccnso.icann.org/en/about/sataki-to-chalaby-12apr19-en.pdf ). However, as indicated in my previous email, we do not expect that the amended Bylaws will apply retrospectively. At our latest ccNSO Council meeting (23 April), the ccNSO Council further discussed different options to make sure that we move forward with the IFR. As stated in my email, the preferred option, which was re-confirmed, is our original proposal (included in the letter from Trang from 07 January) that - in light of the requested Bylaws change - the IFRT should start its work with three ccTLD representatives as defined in the Bylaws (although without a non-member ccTLD representative as specified in the Bylaws), i.e. with two appointed members and one interim member – all three representatives of ccTLDs that are members of the ccNSO. To date, the ccNSO has not been officially and formally informed about objections to this proposed path forward from any of the IFRT members appointing organisations. We believe that - unless a formal written objection to this plan from any appointing organisation is presented by 31 May 2019 - the IFRT should start its work as soon as possible with the current proposed membership. To date the proposed is supported by the RySG, GAC and SSAC. Discussion end of membership following transfer of management of ccTLD Introduction of topics Discussion on next steps Proposed Steps to clean-up ccNSO membership list To ensure that the ccNSO membership only includes ccTLD Managers, membership of entities that no longer are the Manager of a ccTLD needs to be ended and a termination process needs to be developed. Starting point for such a process is matching the ccNSO Membership with the IANA Database. In practice, a comparison is needed in case of transfer - on a per ccTLD basis - between the entity listed as ccNSO Member and the ccTLD Manager as included in the IANA delegation record. Once completed, those entities which are currently listed as Members, but are no longer the current ccTLD manager, should be informed and their membership should be ended. For future cases the secretariat and PTI staff are discussing an internal procedure to ensure the secretariat is kept abreast of transfers. Finally, the ccNSO Council is strongly advised to document how to end membership of the ccNSO after a transfer of management of the ccTLD and to inform the ccNSO Membership about it. There are two options to provide a sound basis for ending ccNSO membership after a transfer, revocation or retirement of the ccTLD: Without Bylaw change The documentation of the procedure is limited to documenting that following a transfer of the ccTLD management membership ends. One could argue that end of membership is implied, if the membership definition from the Bylaws is no longer met. Bylaw change Include in the Bylaws that if membership are not met anymore (i.e. the entity is no longer included in the IANA Rootzone database under the heading “ccTLD Manager” membership ends by means of the Bylaws. Moving forward, and in preparation of documenting a procedure, which option does Council prefer? Background: Included is an overview of changes recorded in the IANA Database since 1 January 2014. This search will now be extended going back to all changes affecting ccTLD management ( transfer and retirement) since 2003, the year when the ccNSO was established. Adoption Guideline: ccNSO Selection procedure Boards seats 11 and 12 For decision The GRC has updated the guideline to include the procedure to check background of candidates.
