Dear Tom Due to the limited available time at ICANN meetings, we would prefer a virtual call if possible. If you don't think this format will achieve the desired goals, we can try to find a slot at ICANN82 during the weekend (8 or 9 of March).

In order to meet the timeline we agreed upon (initial set of recommendations to be presented by ICANN82) it would be great to have the project charter draft by 4 December, to give us enough time to read it and suggest changes, before our next SO/AC chairs monthly call on 11.December at 19:00 UTC. In the interest of time and if others agree, I think that Sally and you, should be invited to the call on the 11th to finalize the charter. As a FYI: From the ccNSO, we are already reaching out to people (a potential member and alternate) to solicit their participation, but we need the official charter to be able to appoint anyone.

I am pleased to attach the Summary Notes for your reference and circulation to your membership, as you wish. To elaborate on the action items, ICANN org proposes distributing a draft project charter to you for your review by *early December*, followed by a draft “strawman” proposal before *mid-December*. Considering the relatively tight timeframe we have between now and ICANN82, and the likelihood that that many people will be taking time off between late December and early January, this will allow us to work with you on two parallel tracks; i.e., SOAC Chairs’ approval of the project charter, and formation of a group to discuss the “strawman” proposals. In that regard, we hope it will be possible for each of the SOACs to propose participants for the group by *Monday 2 December*. Based on the Roundtable discussion, our understanding is that the group should be small, perhaps comprising 7-8 participants (each with an alternate to facilitate participation and timely progress). In addition to familiarity with ICANN meeting planning, participants should be able to commit their time for the duration of the project, to ensure the group meets the intended deadline of ICANN82 for a set of proposals to be presented to the community. Please let Sally and me know if you have further thoughts or suggestions. We look forward to working with you and the planned community group on this project!

I agree that our time together will be best used for discussion rather than for informational presentations, so I hope you find these materials helpful in preparing for the Roundtable. There are four attachments in total: (1) a thematic summary of the community feedback that we received in response to the discussion paper we shared in July, including some suggested topic areas that might be useful in framing further community dialogue (2) an updated version of the additional paper we had also circulated, outlining the types of costs associated with an ICANN Public Meeting and the trends we are seeing (3) a slide deck that visually depicts the updated meetings cost data described in that second paper (4) a visual summary of the costs of the inter-sessional (i.e., non-ICANN Public Meetings) in-person and hybrid community meetings that ICANN funded between 2022-2024. I note that you had requested the data reflected in this document at the last Roundtable as a staff action item. My colleagues and I are looking forward to continuing our conversations about how we can collaborate with you and the rest of the community to determine where and how we can realize cost savings from the meetings we hold, while ensuring that the community continues to receive the support it needs to advance its priority work. As the ICANN81 Roundtable will be mostly focused on this topic, I will invite CFO Xavier Calvez to join the meeting to provide you with any needed information about the budget and our planning for FY26.

Re: ccnso meeting with NomCom in Istanbul
by Alejandra Reynoso Barral Nov. 12, 2024

Nov. 12, 2024

Dear Tom When the ccNSO received NomCom's email to review the job description for future NomCom appointed councillors, it was shared for review with the ccNSO Council and the conclusion was that no update was necessary. Therefore, there was no need to meet with the NomCom to discuss it further, since it remained unchanged. The dissatisfaction with a past selection to the ccNSO Council happened a long time ago and it was addressed and solved years ago and the latest update of the job description addresses this. It was not clear to us that there was a need from the new cohort of the NomCom to have a conversation with the leadership of the ccNSO, regardless of the lack of changes to the job description. Apologies for the misunderstanding. If it's still helpful, we can arrange for a virtual call in December.

Fwd: [ECAdmin] Approval Action Community Forum on Board Approval of Fundamental Bylaws Amendments to Accountability Mechanisms

Nov. 11, 2024

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Christian Wheeler via ECAdmin <ecadmin(a)icann.org> Date: Mon, Nov 11, 2024, 14:03 Subject: [ECAdmin] Approval Action Community Forum on Board Approval of Fundamental Bylaws Amendments to Accountability Mechanisms To: ecadmin(a)icann.org <ecadmin(a)icann.org> Dear Empowered Community Administration representatives, Under the ICANN Bylaws, delivery of the Secretary’s Notice on 11 November: (1) requires Decisional Participants to “promptly inform their constituents” of the delivery of such notice; and (2) triggers an Approval Action Community Forum to be convened and concluded during the period beginning upon the Approval Action Board Notification Date (11 November 2024) and ending at 23:59 (PST) on the 30th day after the Approval Action Board Notification Date (11 December 2024); or during the next scheduled ICANN public meeting (ICANN81). Please refer to Article 1.2, Annex D of the ICANN Bylaws for additional details on the Empowered Community Approval Process https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#annexD and note that an Approval Action Community Forum is convened at the direction of the EC Administration. As the ccNSO, GNSO, and GAC representatives have expressed support on the mailing list for hosting an Approval Action Community Forum at ICANN81, support staff for the Empowered Community Administration have worked with the ICANN81 planning team to publish the Community Forum on the public ICANN81 schedule. *The Approval Action Community Forum will be held on Thursday, 14 November 2024 at 06:00-07:00 UTC (09:00-10:00 Istanbul time). *You may expect a subsequent email shortly regarding Community Forum logistics. Following the expiration of the Approval Action Community Forum Period (11 December 2024), the 21-day Approval Action Decision Period will begin, expiring at *23:59 PST on Wednesday, 1 January 2025*. Because this Decision Period is scheduled to conclude over a widely-observed holiday period, if the Empowered Community is interested in an extension of the expiration until *Wednesday, 8 January 2025*, ICANN will confirm in writing its agreement to such an extension. Before the Approval Action Decision Period expires, each Decisional Participant has the responsibility to inform the EC Administration in writing as to whether it supports or objects to the Approval Action; or it has determined to abstain from the matter. If a Decisional Participant does not inform the EC Administration in time, it shall be deemed to have abstained. To approve an Approval Action, and for these Fundamental Bylaws Amendments to be effective, the following is required: - At least 3 Decisional Participants supporting the Approval Action, and - No more than 1 Decisional Participant objecting to the Approval Action We will be happy to assist with any questions you may have about the process, please just let us know. Best regards, Christian Wheeler (on behalf of the staff supporting Empowered Community Administration) _______________________________________________ ECAdmin mailing list -- ecadmin(a)icann.org To unsubscribe send an email to ecadmin-leave(a)icann.org _______________________________________________ By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy (https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy) and the website Terms of Service (https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos) You can visit the Mailman link above to change your membership status or configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on.

Fwd: Notice to Empowered Community
by Alejandra Reynoso Barral Nov. 11, 2024

Nov. 11, 2024

Dear Sean As ccNSO's Approval Action Manager, attached is the Approval Action notice from ICANN's Secretary regarding a Fundamental Bylaw Amendment. The Empowered Community has the Approval Action Community Forum time set out in the Bylaws (until 11 December 2024) to call more than one Community Forum during this time (if necessary). At the end of Approval Action Community Forum time the Empowered Community then has 21 days within which to deliberate on the approval. I understand that anticipating this Secretary's notice, ICANN has a placeholder on Thursday Block 1 to carry out an in person Community Policy Forum. Once it is confirmed we should send an email to our community. Best regards, Alejandra ******************************************* Work like you don't need the money.
