Greetings Bart, I abstain. Best regards, /Stephen From: Ccnso-council <ccnso-council-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel@icann.org> Date: Wednesday, February 20, 2019 at 20:53 To: "ccnso-council@icann.org" <ccnso-council@icann.org> Subject: [ccnso-council] Risk Mitigation Process under Fast Track Process Dear all, One of the topics introduced on the last Council call was on the work of the joint ccNSO-SSAC joint working party regarding the Guideline for the Risk Mitigation Process, as part of the Fast Track Implementation Plan. As said on call the SSAC was asked whether they had any objection to the way forward as proposed by the working party and accordingly SSAC has no objection to the approach proposed. Please note this is NOT about changing the Fast Track Implementation Plan. The ICANN Board has already adopted the changes the joint ccNSO -SSAC working party has proposed in 2017. To recap, the working party proposes: 1. the amended Guideline (included) 2. A test of the Guideline with the only case pending ( .EU in Greek), document included 3. Recommending ICANN (Board, or the Organisation, whomever is mandated) to take a final decision (see included draft cover letter) 4. Expression of support of proposed approach by ccNSO Council and non-objection by SSAC (note the SSAC position was framed this way top overcome procedural issues), reflected in the draft cover letter, You are now asked to express whether you support, abstain of have objection to the approach proposed by the joint working party. Please respond to the list by 27 February 2019, 17.00 UTC (preferably earlier). Kind regards, Bart
