Hello All,
The ICANN75 Policy Outlook Report is now available. Read the latest report here >> https://go.icann.org/outlook75
Written by the Policy Development Support function, the ICANN75 Policy Outcomes report captures decisions and outcomes from the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees. This report also reviews additional
activities, looks ahead, and provides resources to enable sustained engagement on highlighted issues. ICANN75 is the
ICANN Annual General Meeting, and will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, 17-22 September 2022.
ccNSO Session at ICANN75: What to Expect
During the ccNSO sessions, the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) community and others with an interest in ccTLD-related matters will discuss and receive updates on topics relevant to ccTLD managers. ICANN75 marks a milestone because for the first time,
simultaneous interpretation will be available for a select number of ccNSO sessions. The enhanced language support will benefit the ccTLD community by deepening operational exchanges and advancing information-sharing. It is part of a pilot project that covers
simultaneous interpretation in English, French, and Spanish for the next three ICANN Public Meetings.
The ccNSO program begins on Saturday, 17 September. The Domain Name System (DNS) Abuse Standing Committee (DASC) and the Internet Governance Liaison Committee (IGLC) will hold working sessions. The ccNSO schedule will continue on Sunday,
18 September with other committee and working group sessions, including the Technical Working Group and the Strategic and Operational Planning Committee (SOPC). The third and fourth ccNSO policy development process (ccPDP) working groups will have their working
sessions as well. The ccPDP3-Review Mechanism Working Group has developed a proposed mechanism for the review of the specific decisions on the delegation, transfer, revocation, and retirement of ccTLDs. The ccPDP3-Review Mechanism Working Group aims to perform
stress-testing of its policy recommendations. On Tuesday, 20 September during the ccNSO Policy Update, the ccPDP3-Review Mechanism Working Group will present its proposals and seek input from the ccTLD community. Later that same day, it will evaluate the input
received.
Tech Day will take place on Monday, 19 September. Tech Day is a workshop open to all ICANN community members with an interest in technical, operational, and security topics. The ccNSO schedule will continue on Tuesday, 20 September, and
will start with the ccNSO Policy Update, followed by a session that will explore the impact of legislative initiatives regarding geographical indications on ccTLD managers. The ccNSO will also hold joint sessions with the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC)
and the ICANN Board.
On Wednesday, 21 September, during a ccNSO Governance Session, the Guidelines Review Committee (GRC) will present its proposals for ccNSO statement of interest and conflict of interest processes and seek input from the ccTLD community.
The GRC will also alert the ccNSO membership about upcoming voting processes and work items. During a Universal Acceptance session, there will be a discussion on the role of the ccNSO and how to best serve the ccTLD community. ccTLD managers from different
regions will share their experiences during a ccTLD News Session.
Finally, on Thursday, 22 September, there will be a meeting of the ccNSO Council. The ccNSO program will conclude with a wrap-up session by the Meetings Program Committee. All those interested in helping to shape relevant sessions for
ccTLDs are welcome to attend. The detailed ccNSO schedule, including highlights of the topics covered and remote participation details for ICANN75, is available on the
ccNSO ICANN75 workspace. Read more about the topics covered in the
