Bart: will this doc be available to UAC once adopted supported by GAC? Abdalmomen: yes, once the GAC UA IDN group approved it. No call from staff yet. Just info for the time being from colleagues within UASG Bart: would be good to hear more about it, also in light of the session between UAC and GAC IDN WG in Dublin When will the group have a new chair? Abdalmomen: probably today. But subject to GAC chair approval. I can check when this will happen Bart: would be a good point of contact for the session with GAC in Dublin. Abdalmomen: maybe have a liaison? Same methodology there as what we have in ccnso Bart: once the new chair has been announced, we can discuss, and start preparing for Dublin Regina: EC asked us a few weeks ago for updates. Maybe this was in relation with the developments within GAC Bart: so, a very timely meeting! Abdalmomen: I need to leave 30 min into the meeting, and will hand over to Bart and Regina. Action item #1: Abdalmomen to keep UAC informed about developments within GAC UA-IDN group, including the leadership changes and recent publications. 3. Overview ICANN82 and ICANN83 consultations See document introduced during the call on 16 July (circulated) Action item #2: Staff to share the doc in a google version, and UAC members review it and add comments and suggestions, for discussion in 2 weeks Bart: once you reviewed the doc, what do you see as future work items for UAC? Taking into account the 2 sessions, their outcomes, and the current workplan. Suggestion is for UAC to review its workplan, during the next 2 meetings. See final page of the doc: 3 questions Abdalmomen: we miss something here, in the questions Bart: do you agree with the path forward, to use this doc and the current workplan, to refine the UAC workplan. Where do you want to see the UAC being active? Regina: might be a good opportunity to get more people involved. We have momentum now. If they see there are concrete points, in combination with Dublin. Bart: indeed, goal of the review during the next 2 meetings. We could circulate it by September Regina: and use it as an invitation for our Dublin session Bart: indeed Bart: do you agree with the approach? Green marks in Zoom Bart: will introduce an introductory paragraph on the purpose of the document Action item #3: Staff to add an introductory summary to the doc, and the link to the current workplan in the overview doc from ICANN82 and ICANN83 4. ICANN84 session a. Proposed session: invite GAC UA working group to UAC session to discuss government-ccTLD roles regarding UA readiness (tentatively agreed by GAC leadership) Bart: staff suggests - following consultation with UAC leadership and council members and leadership - not to have a members meeting session by UAC in Dublin. Instead, focus only on the joint session by UAC and the GAC UA-IDN Group over the weekend in Dublin. Additionally, have a ccnso members meeting session in Mumbai, at ICANN85. 3 Reasons: * Staff availability * No theme emerged yet for the members session. It takes additional time to build on the outcomes of the consultation * Packed agenda: kick-off of the PGA study group on the role of iana in disaster recovery for ccTLDs. Setting the tone, and bringing in various perspectives. It will also be the first major meeting where the ICANN reviews of reviews will be discussed. A cross-community group will have its first public meeting in Dublin, including a meeting with the ccNSO. Bart: do you support? Group supports Bart: Tentative theme for the joint session between UAC and GAC IDN WG would be to explore ways to enhance cooperation to promote digital inclusion. Regina: depending on GAC developments. Also what happens at IGF, regarding sustainable development goals Bart: in the WSIS+20 elements paper, digital inclusion is the term of art. There is a lot underneath it. It is a nice theme, and then focus on UA topics Regina: if we go wild, we could prepare a an overview for GAC. How can ccTLDs help in fulfilling the digital inclusion role? Bart: yes, UA DAY etc. why not go wild? But let’s see after the next 2 UAC meetings. Bart: How to organize session? Who wants to be involved? My suggestion is to have a smaller group that organises the session, jointly with GAC UA group Let’s ask the question again in 2 to 4 weeks Regina: when in dublin? Joke: Saturday, 16:30-17:30 b. Members session: TBC’ed Decision not to have a members meeting session by UAC at ICANN84 5. Next meetings: a. 13 Augustus 2025 | 13.00-14.00 UTC b. 27 August 2025 | 07.00-08.00 UTC ICANN84 start 25 October Small team can meet more frequently closer to the meeting 6. AOB Sami: the UA Expert group has not yet met. Bart: i understood they are still waiting for appointees? Sami: i think that is what Seda said. Other groups that did not meet the deadline. 7. Adjourn Thank you all Joke Braeken joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org>
