Call for volunteers for committee Draft Resolution Background The ICANN Community Onboarding Programme results from discussions between the community and the ICANN starting at ICANN49 and concluding at ICANN51. This broader consultation process sought to address volunteer burnout and improve newcomer retention rates. In January 2016, the ICANN COP Pilot was launched to develop an individualized, tailored mentorship process. The programme concluded at the end of ICANN’s FY18. The objective of the ccNSO COP is to continue a COP tailored to the needs and within the limits of the ccNSO environment. At its meeting in October 2018, the Council requested  Alejandra Reynoso and Margarita Valdes, assisted by the secretariat, to propose terms of reference for such a programme. Decision The ccNSO Council adopts the Terms of Reference for the ccNSO Community Onboarding Programme as proposed. The Council requests the secretariat to publish this resolution and Terms of Reference as soon as possible and send out a call for volunteers as proposed. 6) Letter Roelof Meijer on defensive nature Terms of Reference Emoji Study Group Roelof Meijer send a letter to Council on defensive nature of the Terms of Reference Emoji Study Group. Discussion response. 7) IFRT: next steps appointment volunteers Following appointment of 3 ccNSO members, including an interim appointment, ICANN informed the ccNSO Council that either the ccNSO should try again to find a non-ccNSO ccTLD manager who is interested, or support i.e. non – objection would be required from all appointing groups. If the latter option is preferred either ccNSO Council could opt to seek support from the appointing groups or ICANN Org would. Draft Resolution Background After an extended call for volunteers the ccNSO Council selected 3 candidates to serve on the IANA Function review team (IFRT), selecting one member on an interim basis, up and until a representative of a non-ccNSO ccTLD manager that would meet the required skill-set and expertise as included in the original call for volunteers to serve on the IFRT, steps forward and is selected by Council. ICANN was informed accordingly. On 22 October the Council was informed that ICANN has no objection to such an interim selection and this person could serve on the IFRT until further notice, provided that all appointing organizations would support this temporary solution. Alternatively the Council could opt to send out a renewed call for volunteers, and if needed ICANN could assist in reaching out to the ccTLD community. Decision The ccNSO Council re-confirms selection of the interim candidate on the IFRT up and until a representative of a non-ccNSO ccTLD manager who will meet the required skill-set and expertise, would volunteer and be selected by Council. The Council requests ICANN to seek approval form the appointing organizations, as suggested in the ICANN letter dated 22 October 2018. The Council requests its Chair to inform ICANN accordingly. 8) Guidelines ccNSO 8.1 Board Nomination Process Comments from Council Next steps: community consultation, updates by GRC if any, adoption by Council 8.2 Selection and Appointment Liaisons For adoption Draft Resolution Background The Guideline Review Committee proposes to update Guideline: ccNSO selection and Appointment Liaisons.

Proposed way forward: Short term Action Secretariat: Subscribe individual councilors and Regional Organizations representatives, taking into account ICANN’s GDPR related procedures (consent form).
