I also expect Clara Ludvigsson from my team to continue her active participation. Best wishes Carl From: Joke Braeken <joke.braeken@icann.org> Date: Thursday, 9 January 2025 at 16:31 To: Carl Piva <carl.piva@internetstiftelsen.se>, ccnsosecretariat@icann.org <ccnsosecretariat@icann.org> Cc: Kristian Ørmen <kristian.ormen@internetstiftelsen.se>, ccnso-leadership@icann.org <ccnso-leadership@icann.org> Subject: Re: [Ccnsosecretariat] ccNSO representative from The Swedish Internet Foundation (.se) Hello Carl, Many thanks for your e-mail. This change in affiliation has several implications, and the Council leadership team and Secretariat seek your guidance. Nicklas has actively participated in various ccNSO working groups and committees, even assuming leadership roles, such as Vice Chair of the Tech WG and TLD-OPS. Furthermore, while representing .se, he was recently elected by ccNSO members from the European region as a ccNSO Council member, with his term set to begin at the conclusion of the ICANN82 Community Forum in March 2025. The Council leadership team seeks guidance from the Swedish Internet Foundation, Nicklas's former employer. Specifically, we seek to understand if the .se ccTLD Manager has any concerns or formal objections should Nicklas intend to assume his role on the ccNSO Council in a private capacity. As outlined in the relevant ccNSO Guideline, (section 3.1) [ccnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field...> : “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.” Should Nicklas decide to take his seat on the Council in March, it is expected that he, as a Council member elected by the European region, informs the European ccNSO membership about his change in affiliation. Additionally, the ccNSO Secretariat will consult with the ccNSO members from the European region to confirm their continued support for Nicklas as their Council representative. 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. Finally, with Nicklas no longer representing .se, do you foresee that other members from your team will be actively involved in ccNSO-related matters in future? I look forward to your feedback Carl, and am happy to assist in case you have questions or concerns. Best regards.
