Background material: Draft letter

 

Draft Resolution

Background

After the closure of each ICANN public meeting, the ccNSO Meeting Program Committee (MPC) reviews and evaluates sessions that are relevant for the ccTLD community. With respect to the At-Large session the MPC raised substantive comment and procedural concerns. In addition, the Council identified some procedural concerns with respect to how the session was organized.

 

Decision

The ccNSO Council adopted the latest (19 July 2021) version of the letter to the ALAC to express its substantive and procedural concerns with respect to the ICANN71 ALAC session ccTLD Governance Models - Testimonies from At-Large End Users and requests its Chair to send it to the Chair of ALAC. The Chair is also requested to do whatever she believes is necessary to resolve the outstanding issues, within the parameters set in the letter. The Chair is requested to inform the Council in due time of the results of the dialogue with ALAC.

 

  1. Update ICANN Learn Course

For discussion and decision

 

Recently, the ccNSO requested translation of the ccNSO ICANN Learn Course. Before taking on the translation ICANN Org suggested a review of the document and the OISC took it on under their mandate. Going over the document and ICANN Org suggestions the OISC identified 2 potential paths forward:

 

Option 1: First, make minor adjustments to the course, such as typos and grammar corrections, and have the course translated. As a next step, a more extensive revision of the content is needed.

 

Option 2: Start with an extensive revision of the current course, addressing both content, accessibility, and other aspects, and then request the translation of the revised course. This would require the Council to inform ICANN Org accordingly as Council requested a translation of the current course.

 

Note that under both options, the ccNSO will need to create a small team to review and update the course. This small group should relate to the OISC. 

 

The OISC suggests option 2 as a course of action.

 

Draft Resolution

Background

One the recommendations coming out of the 2nd Organizational ccNSO Review was to ask ICANN Org to translate the ccNSO Course on ICANN Learn in the various languages in which ICANN provides translations.

 

In response ICANN Org suggested to revise the course to make it up to date and align with other courses. The ccNSO Outreach and Involvement Standing Committee (OISC) reviewed the course and ICANN Org’s suggestions. Based on that review, the OISC suggests an extensive revision of the current course first, addressing both content, accessibility, and other aspects, and then request the translation of the revised course.

 

Decision

The ccNSO Council supports the OISC suggestion to undertake an extensive review of the ccNSO Course on ICANN Learn before translating the course in the various languages ICANN provides translations. The Council requests the Chair of the Council to inform ICANN Org accordingly and defer further communication and decisions around the review and translation to the OISC. The OISC is requested to take all steps necessary to start and complete the review as soon as possible, including but not limited to seeking volunteers to assist in the review, and developing a work plan and report to the Council on a regularly basis.
