Please review and provide any further feedback you may have by Tuesday 20 December at the latest. The staff support team intends to send these out shortly thereafter. Best regards, Steve & Marika From: council <council-bounces(a)gnso.icann.org> on behalf of Marika Konings via council <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Reply to: Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org> Date: Friday, 9 December 2022 at 08:07 To: "council(a)gnso.icann.org" <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Subject: [council] For review - DNS Abuse letters Dear All, Per the action items from the last meeting, the leadership of the DNS Abuse small team and Council leadership collaborated on the following letters communicating the outcome of the vote on the DNS Abuse small team report to the different parties: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f8NniEmpxcaO2PMBkQFED7uabME1-cYK/edit?p… [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1f8NniEmpxcaO…>.

Council Small Team - SubPro ODA
by Steve Chan 27 Dec '22

27 Dec '22

Dear Councilors, During the 15 December 2022 Council meeting, you all agreed to initiate a small team<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/2022-2023+GNSO+Coun…> to review the SubPro ODA<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/subpro-oda-12dec22-en.pdf>. From the Council meeting, we have Jeff Neuman, Anne Aikman-Scalese, Thomas Rickert, and Susan Payne as volunteers for this effort. If any other Councilors (or liaisons) would like to join the small team, please let us know at gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org>. We are still in the process of identifying a workable time for this small team to meet. Staff, in consultation with leadership, took the liberty of putting together a draft assignment form<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/215288194/Small%20Team%20A…> to help guide the work of the small team. While the development of an assignment form is now usual practice for small teams, it is particularly important in this case. Given the short period of time to be able to review the lengthy ODA, have the small team agree on draft input to ICANN Board, allow time for that draft input to be communicated to the Council, and finally deliver it to the Board by ~19 January, the task needs to be as tightly scoped as possible. You will see that the assignment form suggests that Councilors should read the ODA by early January and provides 4 suggested areas for focus when reviewing the ODA (note, these 4 areas of focus are inspired by the SSAD ODA review process). The assignment form also includes a Google doc (and attached as Word for Anne) to help collect any areas of input based on the 4 areas of focus. Please let us know if you have questions but otherwise, happy reviewing. And more importantly, happy holidays!

For your input: Draft Survey for SSAD ODP Liaison + Small Team - due 13 January 2023
by Caitlin Tubergen 22 Dec '22

22 Dec '22

Dear Councilors, In Sebastien’s email of 25 October<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-October/026146.html>, he outlined several PDP improvements that Council Leadership recommended moving forward with. Included in improvement #9, GNSO Support Staff had an action item to “develop a straightforward survey that can be used to solicit input from the GNSO Council liaison to the SSAD ODP as well as the small team that was tasked to review the ODP to document its findings so that these can be shared when the review takes place after the second ODP completes.” We have developed a draft survey and wanted to share it with you for your input: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sRmdYtwCslKMeZb5QKTzGsVfae0xYZQY/edit?u…. There is no need to review this survey right away, of course, but we wanted to share it with you when it was ready. If you have any feedback, please provide it in comment form by Friday, 13 January 2023. We will send another reminder in the new year, but if you believe more time is needed, please let us know. As Steve noted earlier, we wish everyone a happy and safe holiday break – we hope you are able to take some time to rest and enjoy the season. Kind regards, Marika and Caitlin

Changes to the GNSO Standing Committee on ICANN Budget and Operations (SCBO)
by Julie Bisland 22 Dec '22

22 Dec '22

Sent on behalf of Sebastien Ducos Dear Council and SG/C Chairs, I am writing to announce a change to the GNSO Council’s Standing Standing Committee on ICANN Budget and Operations (SCBO). You will likely recall the email I sent on 16 November, which itself followed a joint GNSO Council & SC/G Chairs call on 26 October where this change was first discussed. After seeking input from all of you, it seems that there is support to pursue the change to the SCBO, which at a high level will convert it from a Council-specific standing committee to a GNSO-wide forum to discuss the ICANN budget. As I’ve previously communicated, Council leadership believes this is a positive change that will support broader and more consistent understanding of the ICANN budget across the GNSO, as well as streamline our communications with ICANN Finance. Accordingly, the Council and SG/Cs should all be better prepared to draft any public comments they are considering submitting. Beyond announcing this change, there are two specific items where I require your assistance. 1. While the previous SCBO was limited to just Council members and GNSO subject matter experts, any GNSO members are invited to join the mailing list and any meetings scheduled. If you or any of your members would like to be added to the mailing list, please contact gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org>. 2. For those already subscribed to the mailing list, you will see that a meeting was scheduled for Monday, 09 January 2023 at 21:00 UTC. The rationale for targeting this week is because it is just prior to the deadline to submit clarifying questions to ICANN Finance. Please communicate this timing to any interested members. The meeting invite will be circulated to any new members that are added to the mailing list. Please let me know if you have any questions. We continue to think this is the right path for the SCBO and certainly welcome feedback after this budget cycle. In the meantime, enjoy reviewing the Draft ICANN FY24–28 Operating and Financial Plan and Draft ICANN FY24 Operating Plan and Budget<https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/draft-fy2428-operating-f…>!

Re: [council] [Ext] RE: Last Day for Input: Fellowship Selection Committee EOI
by Emily Barabas 19 Dec '22

19 Dec '22

Hi Anne, Thanks for these questions. The intent of paragraph 5 is say that a successful candidate should have enough experience with various sectors of the Internet ecosystem to be able to evaluate the applications in the ICANN context. The list of areas in the Internet ecosystem that may be relevant is brought over from the Fellowship Selection Committee webpage<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/fellowship-selection-committee>. I’ve clarified with Org colleagues supporting the Fellowship Program that “I* entities” include organizations such as ISOC, the IETF, and the IAB, in addition to ICANN. I don’t believe that there is any restriction on the ability of a Nom Com appointee to Council from applying, as long as they meet the other criteria. I hope this is helpful. The SSC will be meeting early next week to go over the assignment from Council, and we can discuss any further questions there, as well.

I reviewed as a member of SSC and have one comment and one question: 1. In Paragraph 5, the following text seems to run on a bit and isn’t necessarily clear as to the last portion and it’s unclear what the “I*” means: * Enough experience with specific sector(s) of the Internet ecosystem including, but not limited to, technical Internet issues; government, academia, commercial or non-commercial issues; I* entities; underserved and/or under-represented communities and/or Internet related development, or other fellowship programs, to be able to evaluate candidates’ answers in the ICANN context. 1. In Paragraph 6, does the listing indicate that a Nom Com appointee to the Council is ineligible to apply for this position? (Not planning on applying myself at all – just interested to know whether there is a limitation here.) Thank you, Anne Anne E.

As this is a new EOI – we never had to select from multiple potential candidates for the role – please review and comment as you see fit. We will collect your feedback for a week until 7 December 2022 COB. Please note in the documents that this EOI deadline is yet to be set but will be likely in the first half of January 2023. This is by opposition with the Fellowship Mentor position that is ready and will be posted today with a 21 December 2022 response deadline.

We have consequently decided that we will formally launch an EOI and inform the SSC of the assignment to make a selection. The Mentor position has been the subject of a number of EOIs in the past, for which we do have documents available – please find them attached. The Selection Committee position hasn’t and we are now finalizing the corresponding documents which I will share as soon as possible. Do note that these EOIs are opened to the GNSO in general (not just Council) and we will engage with the different constituencies directly.
