Attendance via Zoom
Welcome by Adbalmonem
2.
Admin matters, if any
a.
Action items, if any
Reminder about the last meeting, prior to ICANN78 (12 October). 2 main topics:
Preference to start with repository first.
There is nothing solid to share yet on the mailing list. Also, we need sufficient time to prepare the e-mail list
Action items:
DASC is our role model, preferring to use the same model.
Bart: We did invite DASC, but they were unable to join today’s meeting. So let’s check after today, if it is still relevant. Asks Kim whether information was shared.
Kim: draft was not yet circulated. Was hoping to have some feedback first, before sending anything out. Will show it later. Would still be worthwhile to invite DASC.
Bart: at the end of the meeting, after we discussed the proposal, let’s revisit this action item. Next meeting is in 2 weeks.
Abdalmomen: explore whether to invite Sarmad and Pitinan. And explore how the UAC fits into the UASG.
Bart: inviting them to join conversations regarding scope of UAC and participate in the napkin pitches. Invite them for the 22nd
Action item #1:
staff to invite ICANN org IDN staff as observers
Anna: can we also invite Maria Kolesnikova. Chair regional group, and she has a lot of experience
Masha: Would be good. She has a lot of experience.
Anna: Igor M. said he received the invite to join today’s meeting
Joke: sent link to UAC mailing list with notes document
Anna: confusion with other UAC meeting
Bart: before we start to invite everybody, let’s check what we want to receive. The more people, the easier it is to loose focus. But indeed good to invite ICANN staff.
Abdalmonem: ask Sarmad what ccTLDs need to do to promote
Bart: let’s first brainstorm to set the work activities (napkins next week). Good opportunity to network. First develop the direction, and then start working along the path you want to take.
b.
Introducing Statement of Interest procedure
Bart: Statement of Interest (SOI) procedure was adopted by Council in July. SOI is new for the ccNSO. Council agreed that the procedure would be effective since 1 November, following implementation. Aim is to
increase the transparency of WG/C and Council.
SOI form: https://forms.gle/79Jw4wSnNhn5W4Z46
This is a ccNSO SOI. May differ from other SOI used by other SO/ACs at ICANN. Please complete the form, if you feel like it. Voluntary for existing WG/C.
Abdalmonem: please share link to wiki in footer of every email.
Kimberly: each meeting has an own page on wiki
Abdalmomen: I need the main page, and then I can click to the meeting i am looking for
Kim: can send individual page and main page, both.
Bart: post ICANN78 admin matters
Information on the DASC mailing list and contact list:
https://community.icann.org/x/BJJME
Bart: DASC launched an email list regarding DNS Abuse at ICANN78
If you are interested in DNS abuse, please subscribe. It will be used to discuss DNS abuse repository related matters. For people within the ccTLD community. Makes it easy to reach out to colleagues that deal
with the topic within other ccTLD registries. Also open to non ccNSO members.
TO SUBSCRIBE: DASC-mailing-contacts-subscribe@icann.org
Please add the IANA admin-c in copy.
This is also a contact list. Updated quarterly. Digest.
Jiankang: UAC to have a similar list
Bart: that is the intention. See agenda items 4 and 5 later today
3.
What happened during ICANN78 re UA?
Abdalmonem. 2 highlights
Main contact point: Masha. Serbia as proposed host. Qing Cai to add anything? Nothing at the moment.
Anna: if the global UA day is being held in Europe, it will raise interest since UA is currently not so well promoted
Abdelmonem: Global one is important. Different actors discussing at the same table. Thought it would be in Serbia.
Kim: is there a global calendar? We can add to wiki.
Abdalmonem and Joke: https://uasg.tech/ua-day/
Joke: https://www.icann.org/ua-day-en
Abdalmomen: ccTLD involvement
Bart: see outcome of the napkin pitches
Qing Cai: Maria applied. No decision yet by UASG. deadline 15 December
4.
Design UA library for ccTLDs
Use DNS Abuse frame as starting point and adjust for purposes of UA.
Kim: changes in google doc. Red-line. How to proceed.
Bart: before we start talking about the edits, please explain the content of the doc
Kim: this is an overview. Why to consider? Includes info from the DASC library. Could look totally different. Why is it there? What is its mandate? Content advisory board: what happens when there are submissions?
Have different sections, categories. E.g. announcements (example: UA Day)
Questions regarding how to deal with submissions. E.g. AI submissions. What if there are objections to the submissions?
Bart: not up to staff to decide what is in the repository. Hence the editorial board
Secondly, it would be good to group the information in a relevant way. E.g. tools, events …. Up to UAC to decide what those relevant categories would be.
Core things to decide: purpose, categories and the role of the editorial board
Kim: will prepare a red-line, to see comparison with what DASC did.
Will there be a small editorial board? Or a sub-team?
Some green marks for sub-team option.
Bart: who volunteers?
Action item #2
Staff to share call for volunteers on UAC mailing list: offer UAC full group members the opportunity to join the UAC Repository editorial board.
Bart: In 2 weeks, call with subgroup and inform full group on the 13th.
5.
Design email list charted dedicated email list
Use charter DSN Abuse email list as starting point and adjust for purposes of UA
Bart: Deferred to a later date. Sub-group that will work on repository will also work on the email list, as per the DASC example. First focus on the library.
Abdalmomen: agree. No objections from UAC
Kim: waiting a bit allows us to use the lessons learned from the launch of the DASC mailing list.
