As per the charter:

5.1. The Chair of the OMC The Chair of the OMC shall be appointed by the ccNSO Council upon nomination by the committee members. The Chair will manage ongoing activities and ensure an appropriate working environment by:

·           Promptly sharing relevant information with the entire Committee

·           Planning the work of the Committee to achieve its goals and lead the Committee through its discussions

 

Bart: easier to have a Vice Chair as well. 

Today, only 3 members attending. Therefor, let’s defer this. We will send an email to the list, asking for nominations. 

We tentatively pencilled in a brief meeting in Istanbul. Informal one. Hopefully, we can do a Tour de Table with those attending in person. That will be an informal meeting. 

Any questions or comments around the procedure?

none

 

4.         Reminder about the scope of the OMC

 

ABOUT OMC | Following a review of the former ccNSO Outreach & Involvement Standing Committee (OISC) in 2023, the ccNSO Council agreed to establish the ccNSO Onboarding and Mentoring Committee (OMC), with a narrow focus on processes and procedures related to the onboarding and mentoring of newcomers to the ccNSO.

 

OBJECTIVE | The objective of the OMC is to:

 

E.g. webinars for newcomers prior to ICANN meetings. Presented by Biyi. also onboarding sessions with Councillors, ptoentially new WG members

Excluded from the scope of this group.

 

What is included? Mentoring, and onboarding of newcomers. 

See also ICANN learn materials. This group might consider developing additional materials to inform them about the ccNSO. 

 

Abdalmonem: please remind us about the ToR

 

Bart: kick start prior to ICANN 81, and meet informally at icann 81 

 

5.         Looking back: Community Onboarding Programme

Bart: Montreal meeting. Pandemic interfered. 

Check whether the COP could be revived after ICANN 81, leading up to ICANN82. Basic materials and structure are in place. 

 

6.         Next steps: workplan

 

Once leadership team has been selected, start developing a workplan. First check what has been done in the past. Also check about what can be used going forward. What should be done? Could be done? Prioritise the work items. And in parallel look at mentoring programme

To de detailed at the first full group meeting after ICANN 81.

 

Abdalmomen: i need to read the background materials. 

Bart: OISC scope was too broad. One of the reasons why it did not work out.
