Dear all, Please find the notes from today’s council call below. Council call - 12 May @19:00 UTC Wiki: https://community.icann.org/x/BiyAAw Apologies: Hiro Hotta, Margarita Valdes, Ching Chiao, Peter Van Roste NOTES: 1) Welcome and Apologies 1 more person needed to be quorate. Analysis of the previous Council call. Changes: - avoid writing +1 in the chat window. Use the check boxes in AdobeConnect (Agree - not agree) - each agenda item will be discussed. - meeting will last for 1 hour. - Bart will keep an eye on the chat window. Attendance list available on website + wiki 2) Minutes and Actions Minutes circulated on 02/05. No objections or suggestions. Action items: * Council accountability survey to be completed by end of next week. * WG chairs need to be inforemed that all meetings are open to observers All other action items completed. 3) Overview inter-meeting Council decisions * workplan adopted, and updated regularly. More details will be added over time * resolution on transparancy adopted. 4) IANA Stewardship transition and CCWG –Accountability SO/AC chairs received a briefing from ICANN staff. 90-day NTIA review process. Timeline bylaw drafting. 21 may: comment period closes. 27 may the new version of the bylaws need to be submitted to NTIA. Becky gives an update. Nothing changes regarding the ccNSO provisions of the bylaws. Questions on some of the language regarding the PDP wthin ICANN. Mostly related to generic. ccNSO specific sections are not changing. Consensus that the lawyers did a good job. Some issues they did not get quite right. CCWG will submit small comment for changes to be made. Critical issue: Board needs to adopt bylaws, changes, prior to June 15, when Larry Strickling will issue his report. Everything is on track for that timing. Question to Becky from Byron. Insights on political climate in Washington on this issue? Suggestion that there might be other congressional hearings. That is not a very friendly territory. Nothing formally scheduled yet, to Becky's knowledge. One senator, senator Cruz is back on his senator job, he is back from campaigning. Nothing that will derail us. If DoC certifies that the criteria are met, it can go forward. 4.1 Progress implementation RSERC: committee where we need to appoint 1 member. There is no charter yet, currently being drafted. CSC: much more clarity. ICANN needs to submit implementation report to NTIA. By that date, the CSC needs to be in place, adopted by ccNSO council and gNSO council. The members, ccNSO and RySG, need to be submitted by 21 july. Slate then sent to councils for consideration. Call for volunteers: latest moment to launch is Helsinki meeting. By that time the internal guideline for the selection process needs to be in place and adopted by council. The GRC is aiming to finalise the guideline by the council call in June. Information to be distributed with council, community, will be prepared. Plan for ICANN to send out EoI on 16 may: next week. Webinar shortly afterwards. Councils, both ccNSO and gNSO, needs to adopt the full slate. How? 1 option is to have a council call on 28 July. BUT: needs to be quorate. Second option would be to delegate set of councillors to liaise with RySG, to work on the full slate. Primary concern: select technically knowledgeable people. Diversity is secondary to that, from our perspective. The second option will ensure more diversity. No answer needed yet, to be discussed later, on how to select the full slate. Question from Barrack. Time needed to respond is sometimes considerable. Can we send out the call immediately after this meeting? Katrina: not all info available yet. Internal procedures are not ready either (CSC guideline). Reassurance that info will be distributed in a timely manner, before Helsinki, and during Helsinki. 4.2 Change statement of Purpose ccNSO IANA Transition and Accountability Coordination Committee (ISTACC). purpose statement of this group needs to be changed. [Resolution read out loud] No objections, no abstentions. Resolution has passed. 5) PDP Review Mechanism and Retirement Framework Secretariat prepared overview of the different PDP first focus: decisions on delegation, revocation and transfer of ccTLDs have the highest priority. Second focus: retirement, review mechanims. Council wiki: PDP framework document, with questions and assumptions, and set of timelines.. Assumed we will launch the PDP in Helsinki. Question from Byron. PDPs at the same time, or consecutively? Any preferred options? Both options have pros and cons. Peter Vergote said that the issues we will deal with are not leading to easy conversations. Advantage: to address thing in a sequential manner. To determine which obstacles we have. Risk pointed out by Katrina: the longer it takes, the more volunteers risk to drop off. Secretariat will outline a timeline, to see which decisions need to be taken. by Helsinki. 6) Meeting B Update/Programme WG update general ICANN56 block schedule: More time foreseen or cross-community-sessions (CC-Sessions) Not all ccTLDs will be interested in the CC-sessions elected in the general schedule. Therefor, some cross-community sessions will be hosted under auspices of the ccNSO. Topics proposed by ccNSO. Alejandra confirmed that draft agenda is online. Changes might be needed: early start on Tuesday, at 08:30. Sessions currently being developped. Legal session: 3 volunteers. Main topics: implementation of the CWG stewardship proposal, and implementation CWG-WS1 and progress to date on WS2. CC-session on Tuesday: ccNSO and GAC. Discussed: ccTLD survey, and PDP. Potential other CC-session: operational side, and geographic names forum.
