Once adopted the secretariat will implement procedure to ensure list of subscribers is up to date.
7) ccNSO related ICANN Bylaw changes
7.1 Repository to be maintained by the ccNSO
See Background material
7.2 Change definition of ccNSO membership
For discussion & Next steps
Background. The membership definition of the ccNSO was changed late in the CWG Stewardship process.
Change process. As Article x is not a fundamental Bylaw, it follows the pattern of a regular Bylaw change, open to rejection action by the Decisional participants.
Using the post October 2016 change of Article XI (GNSO) as an example (see: GNSO Resolution 20180130-1 Adoption of Revised GNSO Operating Procedures and Proposed Modifications of the ICANN Bylaws consistent with the recommendations of the Bylaws Drafting Team.).
Proposed actions. The ccNSO Council consults ccNSO membership on proposed change. Staff is requested to prepare a slide deck. Suggestion is to check whether broader consultation is needed and consult broader community as well (public comment on requested change, requests the Board to change the relevant section in Article X. Note the Board will have to follow its procedure to allow for a standard bylaw change.
7.3 Change ccNSO Council appointed members requirement IFRT(section 18 ICANN Bylaws)
For discussion & Next steps
Background
The IANA naming Function review was launched by the ICANN Board of Directors in September 2018. However, the Review Team has not been formed to date. One of the issue is the requirement that the ccNSO Council appoints a representative from a ccTLD Manager that is not a member of the ccNSO. As indicated before to the ICANN Org and Board, the ccNSO Council anticipates that this problem will only get worse over time, with the increase of members in the ccNSO and in light of the relative small size of the vast majority of the non-ccNSO members and required skill and expertise and time-commitment. As Article 18 is one of the Fundamental Bylaws, and introduced as part of the IAAN Stewardship Transition Process, further discussion with community, ICANN Org and ICANN Board is warranted on next steps.
8) Adoption ccNSO Terms Of Reference ccNSO Internet Governance Liaison Committee
For decision
Background material. Draft Terms of Reference for Committee
Background
In November 2018, the ccNSO Council decided to withdraw from the CCWG Interne Governance and not to support the CCEG Charter. However, the ccNSO Council decided that in light of the importance of Internet Governance and interest of ccTLD member is the topic, to create a IG Liaison Committee to further liaise with the members of the CCWG IG / CCEG, ICANN staff and other active participants from the broader ICANN community. If adopted secretariat will send out a call for volunteers.
