Dear Nicklas,
Thank you for informing us about your change in affiliation. As you can imagine, it has several implications, and the Council leadership team and Secretariat
seek your guidance. The ccNSO is a body for an by ccTLD managers. Since you no longer represent .se and confirmed your intention to stay involved in ccNSO matters, I have listed below the various implications and actions required.
Firstly, regarding
your role as member in the various ccNSO working groups and committees, including the leadership roles as Vice Chair of the Tech WG and TLD-OPS. Membership in ccNSO working groups or committees is open to all representatives of ccTLD managers (members
and non-members of the ccNSO). Members are appointed under assumption they are directly related to a ccTLD manager (even if the person is not directly associated with the registry), or in their capacity as member of Council. Could you please send us a written
statement of a ccTLD manager, that you have their support to be listed as member of the ccNSO working group or committee? The name of the
working
group or committee should be
specified.
On the member list of the group, your affiliation would be listed as “supported by” and the respective ccTLD.
Secondly, you were
appointed by Council as
alternate to the CSC. Council will meet next week, and your change in affiliation and the impact on your appointment will be a topic on the
agenda. I will let you know once I have further information.
Finally,
while representing .se,
you were recently elected by ccNSO members from the European region as a
ccNSO Council member, with your
term set to begin at the conclusion of the ICANN82 Community Forum in March 2025.
Should
you
decide to take
your
seat on the Council in March, it is expected that
you inform the European ccNSO membership about
your
change in affiliation. I am happy to forward any such notification you may wish to
draft to the Emissaries from the European region. As outlined in the relevant
ccNSO Guideline, (section 3.1): “A Councillor can be any individual nominated,
seconded, and elected as described in this Guideline. Individuals are elected in their personal capacity and serve the ccTLD community. Councillors do not represent the views and interests of their employers.”
The ccNSO Secretariat will consult with the ccNSO members from the European
region to confirm their continued support for you
as
their Council representative. Additionally, the
Council leadership team seeks guidance
from your
former employer to
understand if
they have
concerns or formal objections should
you
intend to assume
your
role on the ccNSO Council in a private capacity.
This process aligns with the ccNSO Guideline and past practices when Council members have left their employers (ccTLD managers) or changed ccTLD affiliations during their term.
I am happy to assist in case you have questions or concerns! Thank you for your feedback.
Best regards.

Hi Joke,
Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season.
Yes, I left .SE just before the holidays. Currently, I’m doing some consultancy work through my own company, though none of it is directly tied to the domain industry. That said, my plan is to remain active within
the domain industry and continue my engagement with ccNSO. However, I may not be able to attend the Seattle meeting in person due to travel funding constraints.
Would I need a formal affiliation to comply with the bylaws? If so, I’ll look into arranging that.
All the best,
Nicklas
