These procedures were not designed for a virtual meeting. It is proposed to follow the same procedure as last year (2021)

11. Launch Roles and Responsibilities discussion

For Information and Discussion

12. ccNSO & Universal Acceptance

Deferred from previous call

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 issues 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?

For Discussion

13. Change the Rules of the ccNSO: Council acceptance and next steps

a. Council acceptance of proposed Rules

For decision

b. Next Steps

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

● Approval of timeline for members vote

● Appointment of the voting process manager.

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 the last webinar.

For Decision

14. Review of  WG Charters and Terms Of Reference
    1. Adoption Updated charter Guideline Review Committee

For Decision

2. Progress review of other Charters

For Information

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

The ad-hoc group ccNSO &DNS abuse has finalized the Roadmap to be introduced. In addition, the ad-hoc group has drafted the terms of reference for the DNS Abuse (Standing) Committee (DASC) and would like Council feed-back, if any, before presenting it to the community.
