Unfortunately it’s not that common anymore that we work together ☹ But now: I have been asked to set up a number of meetings with key ICANN people for the Ukrainian GAC representative Yurii Matsyk in Mumbai. He is new and would like to learn to know the communit. You are “key” and I think that it’s good if the GAC knows the ccNSO Chair, hence my question. Would you perhaps have some time (it doesn’t have to be much, it can event just be 15 mins, or so), to meet up with him? If so, could you let me know what date(s)/time(s) will be suitable, and I will try to find a place to meet? I hope this works for you! See you in Mumbai! Gabi

Re: GNSO PDP1
by Alejandra Reynoso Barral Feb. 19, 2026

Feb. 19, 2026

Dear Eberhard, Bruce, Nick and Diego First, let me thank you again for stepping forward to participate in the GNSO PDP1 on DNS Abuse. Your willingness to contribute your time and expertise is sincerely appreciated and reflects the strength of our community. I appreciate the timely initiative to coordinate and streamline your contributions, particularly to share the ccNSO perspective. In this context, I would like to let you know that Paul McGrady, the preliminary Chair of the Working Group, has approached me requesting early written input from the ccNSO. In my response to Paul, I will refer to the ccNSO Council Resolution <https://www.icann.org/en/ccnso/council/resolutions> 225-01, which states that “*[...] the ccNSO does not have a view, nor holds a position on the matter addressed through the PDP, nor do the members represent a view or position of ccTLDs in general.*” Circling back to the coordination and streamlining of contributions from a ccNSO perspective, I suggest clarifying from the start that neither the ccNSO Council nor the ccNSO membership holds a shared view on this matter. Of course, you are very welcome to share your own views, knowledge, and experience, including references to relevant presentations, discussions, surveys, and other materials throughout the process. If needed, we can assist you in soliciting perspectives from others. I also agree that it is important for the group to meet and review your respective roles and expectations. As Nick will not be attending the ICANN meeting in person (and I am unsure about Diego’s plans), it would be helpful to arrange a Zoom call before we begin traveling. If you agree, the Secretariat will reach out shortly to identify a suitable time for a call with the ccNSO leadership.

Fwd: [soac-chairs] Input requested: ICANN85 plenary on Internet resilience (March 9)
by Alejandra Reynoso Barral Feb. 18, 2026

FYI ******************************************* Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. Sing like nobody's listening. And live like it's Heaven on Earth. ******************************************* ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ram Mohan via soac-chairs <soac-chairs(a)icann.org> Date: Tue, Feb 17, 2026 at 1:08 AM Subject: [soac-chairs] Input requested: ICANN85 plenary on Internet resilience (March 9) To: ICANN SOAC Chairs <soac-chairs(a)icann.org>, Russ Weinstein Icann < russ.weinstein(a)icann.org> Friends, Thank you for your support for the plenary at the upcoming ICANN meeting in Mumbai: “*From Stability to Survivability: ICANN’s Role in the Future of Internet Resilience <https://docs.google.com/document/d/16DEqMVbyp8th726l0LG4_sU6yNNBpfbFicZD5PG…>*.” We have the prime slot following the Opening Ceremony on March 9. *Why this matters now:* The Internet is becoming more critical to everything we do, but investment in resilience is not keeping pace. The risk is no longer isolated outages, but broader, systemic disruption. This plenary is intended to help the community get ahead of that curve. The builds on work over the past 15 months with the Marconi Society, SSAC and ICANN. *Objectives* 1. Shift the community mindset from *technical stability* (“keeping the lights on”) to *strategic resilience* (surviving inevitable shocks). 2. Start defining ICANN’s unique role—organization and community—in mitigating systemic risks before they become global outages. *Plenary Structure* - An educational plenary highlighting four systemic threats: Exploding system complexity Underfunded preventive measures Intensifying regulatory pressures Software supply-chain risk - Forward-looking dialog on practical next steps. *The Ask: * To make this session truly action oriented, I am looking for your expertise. Specifically: - *The "Anchor" Points: *What is the one truth the community *must* accept by the end of this session? - *Evidence: *Do you have specific data points or "near-miss" examples that illustrate these systemic risks? - *Roadmap: *What is a practical first step ICANN can take to lead on resilience? - *Voice: *Who else should be on this stage to ensure our message has maximum execution potential? My goal is to make this session compelling and actionable. I would value your guidance as we finalize the framing. -Ram _______________________________________________ soac-chairs mailing list -- soac-chairs(a)icann.org To unsubscribe send an email to soac-chairs-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.

RySG and ccNSO joint upcoming meetings
by Alejandra Reynoso Barral Feb. 3, 2026

Feb. 3, 2026

Dear Beth Hope this email finds you well. With all the emails back and forth I confess that I've lost track of what we have agreed so far for our upcoming joint meetings. The last thing I have in my notes is: 1. A proposal for a zoom call between RySG and ccNSO leaderships before Mumbai, to land the planning of continued collaboration between RySG and ccNSO. 2. The invitation to have members of the CPH Outreach to join the ccTLD community on Wednesday block 3, to discuss the DNS Abuse Mitigation PDPs, ccNSO participation and how ccTLDs and gTLDs can share their experience going forward. Could you please confirm if we should schedule the zoom call and whether members of the CPH Outreach can join our session? Please also let me know if I have missed or misunderstood something. Looking forward to working together! Best regards, Alejandra ******************************************* Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt.
