One request from the preliminary feedback received to-date was for ICANN org to explore the feasibility of having community volunteer representatives from Supporting Organizations (SOs), Advisory Committees (ACs), Stakeholder Groups (SGs), and Constituencies (Cs) to nominate individuals for the following two roles: 1. NextGen Selection Committee members 2. NextGen mentors For the Selection Committee, a time commitment of approximately 20 hours over three weeks is required (for each application round). Selection Committee members will typically serve for two years (or six application rounds). Mentors are expected to devote approximately 24 hours to pre-ICANN Public Meeting preparation with their mentees, to offer advice, networking support, and regular check-ins on-site, and to complete evaluations following the ICANN Public Meeting. Based on previous estimates, mentors spend about two hours per week during the six-week preparation period in advance of the meeting and about two hours per day providing on-site support at the ICANN Public Meeting. Mentors will typically serve for one year (or three meetings). Is your group interested in nominating individuals for either of these roles? By Monday, 16 December 2019, please take the following poll [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…> to help ICANN org can gauge the level of community interest. The findings of this poll will inform the proposed NextGen program approach that will be published for Public Comment. Note: You will not be asked to submit the names of potential volunteers for roles at this time.

For this program, 1 (one) seat is reserved for a representative from the GNSO Council. The program is designed for current and incoming leaders, helping to increase understanding of the complexity of ICANN and to develop facilitation skills, as well as building a network with other leaders. We are aware that understanding ICANN as an organization, the topics discussed within ICANN, and interaction within other stakeholder groups can be challenging for incoming leaders, but sometimes also for experienced leaders. ICANN and the community are making considerable efforts in order to help incoming leaders have a good start to their terms and to provide current leaders the opportunity to strengthen their leadership and facilitation skills. Opportunities for Leadership Program participants include the following: * Meet leaders from the other SOs/ACs and get an insight of the functionality and issues in other groups * Discuss current ICANN topics in an in-depth manner * Deepen the understanding of key ICANN processes * Develop facilitation and leadership skills, focused personal effectiveness to run meetings and foster processes A preliminary program is attached to this email. Kindly note that this is subject to change. Accommodation for participants will be covered between Wednesday and Thursday, 4-5 March 2020, and participants will receive a stipend. Please note that flights will NOT be covered under this program, as incoming and current leaders are normally covered by the regular ICANN travel support. Please ensure that the leaders you select are being covered by ICANN Travel Support for their flights to Cancun for ICANN67. We would like to ask you to identify one incoming or current leader from your stakeholder group who is interested and available to participate in this program. We recommend that you also identify an alternate candidate. Kindly forward us the names and email addresses of the endorsed individuals no later than Wednesday, 13 November 2019, and ask them to register here<https://forms.gle/zpt1gSSayKGgjVAD9> by Friday, 15 November 2019 at 23:59 UTC. We hope this program will meet the needs of your community. All participants will be encouraged to partake in an open exchange of their views, as this will help facilitate cross-constituency collaboration during their terms. We are very happy to answer any questions you may have on this exciting LP and look forward to having your group’s participants confirmed. Kind regards, Sandra Hoferichter, Chair of the ICANN Academy Working Group Ergys Ramaj, VP, Public Responsibility Support

The missed service level agreement was satisfactorily explained and not an indication of a performance issue. The related PTI report to the CSC, listing the individual service level metrics along with their actual and historical performance, can be found here [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…>. I am also very pleased to provide you an update on the two outstanding Service Level Agreement (SLA) changes: 1. In accordance with the SLA change procedure: the CSC had requested the ccNSO and GNSO Councils to approve to the introduction of a new SLA, IDN tables processing times, and we have been informed they did accordingly. 2. The second SLA listed in the CSC Findings Report, the ccTLD Creation/Transfer - Validation and Reviews: SLA amendments, was approved by the CSC, and PTI has opened a Public Comment proceeding [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…> to seek your input and comments. Both SLA changes are explained in more detail in the October 2019 CSC Findings Report. The CSC met in person and with different stakeholder groups in Montréal, Canada during ICANN66. The presentations at our meeting and what we presented to the different groups are available here [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…>. I am honored to inform you that in Montréal the CSC selected me as its new chair and Brett Carr, one of the ccNSO appointed members, as vice chair - both for the duration of this term (until March 2020). I would also like to officially recognize and thank the PTI staff for going beyond expectations by providing their October report to us already on 3 November, so that we could address it at our in-person meeting in Montréal the day after. This undoubtedly came at the cost of weekend work time for some staff, and on behalf of the entire CSC I would like to forward our warm appreciation for this. BACKGROUND Generally, the CSC regular meeting is scheduled on or around the 15th every month, and the CSC findings report on the PTI performance is sent out shortly after that meeting.

REMINDER: NextGen@ICANN Community Consultation Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING The NextGen@ICANN program is currently undergoing a community consultation [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…>. One request from the preliminary feedback received to-date was for ICANN org to explore the feasibility of having community volunteer representatives from Supporting Organizations (SOs), Advisory Committees (ACs), Stakeholder Groups (SGs), and Constituencies (Cs) to nominate individuals for the following two roles: 1. NextGen Selection Committee members 2. NextGen mentors For the Selection Committee, a time commitment of approximately 20 hours over three weeks is required (for each application round). Selection Committee members will typically serve for two years (or six application rounds). Mentors are expected to devote approximately 24 hours to pre-ICANN Public Meeting preparation with their mentees, to offer advice, networking support, and regular check-ins on-site, and to complete evaluations following the ICANN Public Meeting. Based on previous estimates, mentors spend about two hours per week during the six-week preparation period in advance of the meeting and about two hours per day providing on-site support at the ICANN Public Meeting. Mentors will typically serve for one year (or three meetings). Is your group interested in nominating individuals for either of these roles? By Monday, 16 December 2019, please take the following poll [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…> to help ICANN org can gauge the level of community interest. The findings of this poll will inform the proposed NextGen program approach that will be published for Public Comment. Note: You will not be asked to submit the names of potential volunteers for roles at this time.

GAC Communique
by Johan Helsingius Nov. 7, 2019

Nov. 7, 2019

Dear Council colleagues, This is an early look at the GAC communique as it is being drafted - more drafting going on today, but this is the situation so far: In the informational part (not advice, just commentary) there will be something about SubPro WT5 Geo names asking for a system for timely notifications to GAC members (like the current 2-character code tool). In the follow-up to previous GAC advice section there will be a suggestion not to proceed with next newgTLDs round until recommendations identified as prerequisites or high priority in the CCT Review are implemented. There will also be a request to proceed with the implementation of the Red Cross/Crescent and IGO protection mechanisms. In the formal consensus advice part, there will be an item asking EPDP Phase 1 to provide detailed work plan and timetable for implementation, and for Phase 2 a request to make sure ICANN org operates "reasonable access" in a reasonable manner (whatever that means) and for ICANN Compliance to create complaints process for unreasonable denial of requests for data. Furthermore on WHOIS/GDPR there will be a request for PPSAI implementation to proceed in parallel and not be deferred until end of EPDP process. .amazon remains a hotly debated topic. There might be text to again be asking board to facilitate, or at least explain why it didn't follow GAC advice, but there is no consensus on this so far. Will give update as things become more solid towards the end of the day. Your friendly GAC liaison, Julf
