Its membership has grown from slightly over 40 members to 172 members, and while the ccNSO started as a Supporting Organization with a limited scope and mandate, it is now one of the five Decisional Participants in the Empowered Community. Moreover, the internal rules<https://ccnso.icann.org/about/ccnso-rules-dec04-en.pdf> of the ccNSO have not been updated since their adoption in 2004. They no longer reflect the evolved roles and responsibilities of the ccNSO Council and ccNSO membership. The goal of this session is to review (and update if needed) the governance structure of the ccNSO. The focus of these discussions will be on ccNSO decision-making processes, roles, and interaction between the ccNSO Council and ccNSO Members. The results of the session will provide the basis for further work on these topics by the ccNSO Council and the ccNSO Guidelines Review Committee (GRC). On 20 March, Katrina Sataki (ccNSO Council Chair) shared a list of topics with the ccNSO members and Council in preparation of this session. This list was developed by the ccNSO Guideline Review Committee (GRC), based on community feedback during the ICANN69 ccNSO Governance Session. During the ICANN70 Governance Session, ccNSO members will be consulted regarding this topic list and other aspects. Consult the list in attachment and here: https://community.icann.org/display/ccnsowkspc/ccNSO+Members+Meeting+%7C+ICA... ccNSO Members Meeting: Question and Answer Session with ccTLD-associated ICANN Board Members Tuesday, 23 March 2021 (21:30-22:30 UTC) Session Chair: Jordan Carter (.nz) The ccNSO-appointed ICANN Board members, Patricio Poblete and Nigel Roberts, have been invited to attend a question and answer session and to share their experiences as Board members.
