If you like I’d be happy to send it on your behalf. Just let me know if I can help. Kind regards, Julie *From: *Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund(a)icann.org> *Date: *Thursday, October 19, 2017 at 1:24 PM *To: *"Wolf-Ulrich.Knoben" <wolf-ulrich.knoben(a)t-online.de> *Cc: *Jen Wolfe <jwolfe(a)dotbrand360.agency>, Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org>, Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org>, Emily Barabas <emily.barabas(a)icann.org> *Subject: *GNSO Review Progress & Implementation Status Report for Delivery Dear Wolf-Ulrich, Please see the attached GNSO Review Progress & Implementation Status Report final version for delivery to the GNSO Council. I also have attached the slides as some Councilors may prefer to look at the slides rather than read the entire report. Below is a suggested draft email for you to send along with the report and slides to the Council. Please feel free to change it to suit your needs, or let me know if you would like me to make changes. Note that Sunday, 22 October is the deadline for the submission of materials for consideration by the GNSO Council at its meeting at ICANN60 on 01 November 2017. Thank you very much for your assistance. Kind regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director Subject: GNSO Review Working Group Progress & Implementation Status Report To: council(a)gnso.icann.org Dear GNSO Council colleagues, In accordance with the document and motion deadline of 22 October, on behalf of the GNSO Review Working Group (WG) please find the attached GNSO Review Progress & Implementation Status Report and slides for the update to the GNSO Council. The GNSO Review WG requests 15 minutes on the agenda of the GNSO Council meeting at ICANN60 on 01 November 2017 for this brief update. As the GNSO Review WG Vice-Chair I will deliver the update in place of Jen Wolfe, the WG Chair. Jen sends her apologies as she will not be at ICANN60 and will not be able to attend the GNSO Council meeting. As you may know, the GNSO Review WG is executing and overseeing the implementation of the GNSO Review 2 (GNSO2) recommendations. This Report is a required periodic update to the GNSO Council and the Operational Effectiveness Committee (OEC) of the ICANN Board of Directors. The Working Group was initiated on 15 March 2017 and has been meeting bi-weekly. The original suggested timeline for implementation has been adjusted to reflect the fact that the Implementation Plan was not adopted by the ICANN Board until 03 February 2017, and to reflect the Working Group’s progress, but the overall goal for the implementation of all recommendations is unchanged. The Working Group expects to complete the implementation of all of the recommendations within the original timeline, not later than September 2018. Following the update to the GNSO Council, if there are no issues or questions raised, the Report will be sent to the OEC. Kind regards, Wolf-Ulrich

by James M. Bladel Oct. 20, 2017

Oct. 20, 2017

Councilors - Attached, please find the September update from the CSC. Thank you, J. ————— James Bladel GNSO Chair ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel(a)icann.org> Date: Oct 18, 2017, 06:17 -0500 Subject: [SOAC-Infoalert] CSC report PTI performance September 2017 Dear all, On behalf of the chair of the CSC (Byron Holland), please find included the latest CSC update and report. Kind regards, Bart Boswinkel 18 October 2017 Dear Community Members, As chair of the Customer Standing Committee I am providing you with our report on the performance of Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) for the month of September 2017. I am pleased to inform you that the CSC has concluded PTI’s overall performance in September 2017 was “Excellent”- PTI met all of the service level agreement metrics (100% compliance) for the month of September 2017. The CSC was also informed that no complaints were received in September 2017. The September 2017 PTI report to the CSC, listing the individual service level metrics along with their actual and historical performance, can be found at: https://www.iana.org/performance/csc-reports/201709[iana.org]<https://www.iana.org/performance/csc-reports/201709%5Biana.org%5D> . The CSC recently met with the CSC Charter Review Team to share the CSC’s views with respect to its Charter. In addition, together with PTI it has looked into the procedure and timelines to change the Service Level Expectations as documented in Annex A section 2 of the IANA Naming Functions Contract. The CSC was informed that rather than formally amending the contract, a simpler approach to adjusting the Service Level Expectations may be feasible. At its public meeting in Abu Dhabi during ICANN60, the CSC will continue its discussion on the procedures and associated timelines to change these Service Level Expectations. The CSC has regular meetings on the 15th of the month. The CSC report on the PTI performance is sent out shortly after each meeting. If you would like to be informed of upcoming meetings or receive CSC reports directly, you may want to subscribe to our announce list at https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/csc-announce . Any comments on our reporting to you are also welcome. The CSC became effective October 1, 2016. Background information on the committee along with transcripts of our meetings and other useful information can be found at https://www.icann.org/csc[icann.org]<https://www.icann.org/csc%5Bicann.org%5D> .

Consistent with this, there should be equal participation of all relevant SOs/ACs, including in assessment of consensus calls, within the Work Track. Final recommendations from the Work Track should be agreed by all participating SOs/ACs before being submitted to the PDP plenary. In the case of the GAC this will require that the GAC adopt a specific position according to its usual procedures. 1. GAC will, in accordance with its own procedures, consider nomination of members to the Work Track and encourage all GAC members to participate on an individual basis. 1. In the event that there are one or more objections to a final recommendation then the current rules on geographic names contained in the Applicant Guidebook should continue to apply until a broadly-based consensus solution has been found. 1. The GAC will continue to exercise its advisory role to the ICANN Board under the Bylaws on issues relating to geographic names, and in doing so will take account of, but will not be bound by, the outcomes of the PDP.

Customer Standing Committee Charter Review
by Marika Konings Oct. 16, 2017

Oct. 16, 2017

Dear All, For your information, please find below a blog post written by Donna Austin. Best regards, Marika ============ https://www.icann.org/news/blog/customer-standing-committee-charter-review Customer Standing Committee Charter Review Just over a year ago, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) of the U.S. Government's Department of Commerce transferred the NTIA's stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions to the global Internet community. The Customer Standing Committee (CSC) was established in accordance with Article 17.3(b) of the 1 October 2016 ICANN Bylaws, and conducted its first meeting on 6 October 2016. The CSC was created as one of a number of committees and entities of the multistakeholder oversight structure. The CSC Charter and ICANN Bylaws (Article 17) require that the "…Charter will initially be reviewed by a committee of representatives from the ccNSO and the RySG one year after the first meeting of the CSC." As it is now one year after the first meeting of the CSC, the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) and Registries Stakeholder Group (RySG) have established a CSC Review Team to conduct the charter review. In planning for this review, the ccNSO and RySG have agreed on terms of reference<https://community.icann.org/x/IyghB> and have appointed four members to the review team: Abdalla Omari and Martin Boyle by the ccNSO, and Donna Austin and Keith Drazek by the RySG. The mandate of this review is limited to considering whether the CSC Charter is adequate and provides a sound basis for the CSC to perform its responsibilities as envisioned. In particular, the review will focus on whether: * the Charter enables the CSC to fulfil its role * any aspects are ambiguous and would benefit from amendment. * any elements of the CSC's work that were unforeseen at the time the Charter was drafted would benefit from being included in a revised Charter. Next year, two other reviews will evaluate the effectiveness of the CSC and performance of the CSC as it relates to oversight of Public Technical Identifiers (PTI). The CSC Review Team has received written comments from the CSC and intends to conduct interviews with the CSC and PTI. At ICANN60, the review team will consult with country code top-level domain (ccTLD) managers and generic top-level domain (gTLD) operators attending the meeting, and will also conduct a public hearing. For more details on the timing of the meetings in Abu Dhabi, please look at the CSC Review Team wiki space<https://community.icann.org/display/CRT>. Following ICANN60, the review team will prepare a report of its findings, which will include proposed changes to the Charter, if any. The report and any proposed changes to the Charter will be posted for public comment with the intent of preparing a final report for consideration by both the ccNSO and GNSO Councils before ICANN61.
