13. Call for nominations Board Seat 11: decision regarding election

According to the Guideline (https://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/ccnso-nominations-icann-board-guideline-15dec22-en.pdf) section 3.7, the members have an opportunity to vote even if there is only one (1) candidate. This was introduced at request of some form the community to allow them to express that they would not support the candidate by checking the option “None of the Above”. For this election and going forward, it is proposed that in case of only one candidate no voting will be required and if two or more candidates the option “None of the above” is struck from the ballot. The reasons to suggest this decision is that it has become more difficult over time to explain the background and rationale of the option. In addition, and related, having to vote with only one (1) candidate on the ballot is unnecessarily cumbersome, both for the emissaries and staff.

14. Approval of 2nd IANA Function Review Team recommendations

Background material -

ccNSO Council is required to support recommendations from the 2nd IFRT to make it to a Bylaw change:

Section 18.6 (b) of the Bylaws reads that any recommendations by the IFR that would amend the IANA Naming Function Contract shall only become effective if: (i) The IFR Recommendation has been approved by the vote of (A) a supermajority of the ccNSO Council (pursuant to the ccNSO's procedures or, if such procedures do not define a supermajority, two-thirds (2/3) of the ccNSO Council's members) and (B) a GNSO Supermajority;”

The IFR2 will make the following recommendations that meet the above criteria (note: the IFR2 draft report that was published for public comment in March-April 2025 also included these two recommendations and received no objections. The final report is now moving through the final consensus steps with the IFR2).

● Recommendation 1: The IFRT2 recommends removing the policy details from the IANA Naming Function Contract (see Annex A, 4 (i) (1)).

● Recommendation 2: The IFRT2 recommends identifying and pointing to the appropriate policy authority for DNSSEC in the IANA Naming Function Contract (see Annex A, 4 (i) (1)).

To be appointed:
