Draft Resolution

Background

According to the ICANN Bylaws and CSC Charter, the 3rd CSC Effectiveness Review is expected to start by 1 October 2024, and the ccNSO and GNSO Councils have to determine the review method. 

 

The Council notes that the 2nd CSC Effectiveness Review was launched in August 2021 by adoption of the Terms of Reference and appointment of the members of the Review Team. The Final Report was adopted by both Councils on 20 April 2023.  In May 2023, the ccNSO and GNSO Councils jointly informed the ICANN Board of Directors of the outcome of the review and requested initiation of the process of Bylaw changes to adjust the frequency of Bylaw changes as suggested.  The Review Team recommended, among other recommendations, to reduce the frequency to once every five years after the previous review was concluded, or at the request of the PTI Board, the CSC, the ccNSO or RySG if any of them deem a CSC effectiveness review to be necessary. Current status of the implementation of this recommendation is unknown.

 

To inform the ICANN Board of Directors the ccNSO and GNSO Council drafted a joint letter.

 

Decision

Assuming the GNSO council will decide in a similar manner, the ccNSO Council decides to defer the 3rd CSC Effectiveness Review, and to revisit this decision in August 2025.  The Council requests its chair jointly with the chair of the GNSO Council to inform the chair of the ICANN Board of Directors, by sending the letter that was drafted for that purpose, after this resolution becomes effective. The secretariat is requested to publish the resolution as soon as possible, and this resolution becomes effective seven (7) days after its publication.
