Background

The ccNSO received a series of requests for clarification and requests for confirmation regarding interpretation on section 2- 6 of the ccNSO’s Board Report pertaining to a recommended policy for ccTLD Review Mechanisms for a limited number of decisions by the IANA Function Operator (currently PTI).  The ccNSO Council discussed various options on how to handle the questions at its meeting on 7 May 2024 | 20.00 UTC, which was quorate and mandated to take decisions.  The ccNSO Council was also informed that given the urgency of this work, the work on the GAP analysis will be on hold for the duration of the drafting of the responses.

Decision

The ccNSO Council agreed and supports that:

• A drafting team comprised of members of ccPDP3 Review Mechanism WG and Councillors who were not members of the WG will draft the responses to the questions.
  • Councillors who are members of the ccPDP RM working group:  Stephen Deerhake, Nick Wenban-Smith, Sean Copeland, and Peter Koch.
  • Councillors who were not members of the ccPDP3 WG: Jordan Carter, and Pablo Rodriquez.
• The drafting team will be co-chaired by the Chair of the ccPDP3 Review Mechanism WG (Stephen Deerhake) and a Councillor who was not a member of the WG (Jordan Carter).
• Stephen Deerhake, as Chair of the  ccPDP3 Review Mechanism WG, is requested to circulate a call for volunteers to this working group to participate in drafting the responses.
• The drafting team is requested to meet as soon as possible and make optimal use of the time between 8 May and ICANN80.
• The ccTLD community will be informed by Kigali on receiving the questions, and manner in which they are handled. If necessary, a webinar will be organised post Kigali
• After the drafting team has completed its work and the ccNSO community has been informed, the ccNSO Council will approve the responses and the Chair of the Council Council shall send the responses to Katrina Sataki, Chair of the Board Caucus.

As the topic is administrative in nature in accordance with section 1.2 of the Internal Rules of the ccNSO, this resolution becomes effective upon publication.
