• IDN – Suggested guest speaker:  Dennis Tan Tananka for updates on the themes and common aims on this topic.
• IDN ccTLD Membership – The ccNSO would like to inform the GNSO on amendments to its membership rules regarding IDN ccTLDs, a point the GNSO does not have to approve but has the right to veto.
• Sub-Pro – The GNSO should inform the ccNSO on its next steps and likely timelines following the Subsequent Procedures PDP closure.
• SCBO & SOPC – ICANN Budgets – cooperation between the two groups and a short joint update of the mutual highlights (if any).
• NIS-2 and DSA – Exchange on common views:: 1/ Advantage of early observation 2/ Too early to determine a course of action 3/ Experts need to be designated to keep an eye on it and update on developments.
