Dear all, First of all apologies for cross-posting as some of you are subscribed to the various PDP working groups. As you will recall the ICANN Board has adopted the proposed cTLD retirement policy at its meeting in September 2022 during ICANN75. In the view of the ccNSO Council the successful conclusion provides a good case study to understand what goes well, what needs could be improved in developing ccNSO policies and to start the discussion on how to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of this process and the ccNSO Council will conduct a work shop to that end. On behalf of the organizing team you are kindly invited to participate in this ccNSO Council workshop on 17 November 19.00 UTC, on how to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of ccNSO policy work. Closer to that meeting we will share the zoom link to that meeting. Kind regards, Bart Boswinkel
