Kind regards, Julie -- Julie Bisland Policy Team Supporting the GNSO From: Susan Payne <susan.payne@comlaude.com> Date: Monday, August 4, 2025 at 10:27 AM To: "Council@icann.org" <council@icann.org> Cc: GNSO-Secs <gnso-secs@icann.org>, Tomslin Samme-Nlar <mesumbeslin@gmail.com>, GNSO Council List <council@gnso.icann.org> Subject: Motion to approve the CCG on Reviews Hi all Following on from Tomslin’s email below, please see attached the Motion to approve the charter for the Cross Community Group on Reviews and to commence the selection process. For the avoidance of doubt, this serves to replace the IPC’s deferred Motion from last meeting, which has been superseded by events and therefore is withdrawn. best Susan Payne Head of Legal Policy Com Laude T +44 (0) 20 7421 8250 Ext 255 [cid:image001.png@01DC052E.22F2E350] <https://comlaude.com/> Follow us on LinkedIn<https://t-uk.xink.io/Tracking/Index/pRkAAGVfAADw_RQA0> and YouTube<https://t-uk.xink.io/Tracking/Index/bhkAAGVfAADw_RQA0> From: Tomslin Samme-Nlar via council <council@icann.org> Sent: 02 August 2025 00:03 To: Council@icann.org; GNSO Council List <council@gnso.icann.org> Cc: Julie Bisland via Gnso-secs <gnso-secs@icann.org> Subject: [council] Update from the SOAC chairs meeting on Review of Reviews Hi Councilors, The council small team on Review of Reviews is still doing its work but due to the time sensitive nature of some of the decisions SO/AC chairs are making, I wanted to share an update of what came out of the last SOAC chairs meeting. In the SO/AC chairs meeting on August 31st, a stable draft charter of a Cross Community Group (CCG) was agreed upon which I have attached to this email. Because of the time critical nature of the anticipated work of the CCG and the anticipated deliverables coded in the charter that are expected by the ICANN84 meeting, while also acknowledging that SOs and ACs still need to discuss the charter draft according to their internal processes for formal approval, the SOAC Chairs agreed to formally send the stable draft to the board with a caveat that formal approval from SOs and ACs is pending. It is also leadersip's understanding that the board will be requesting nominating organisations to nominate their nominees for the CCG group for the group to start working circa mid-late August. For GNSO nominations, we think the SSC should be tasked with this. As a result, leadership is sharing this stable draft, with the expectation that councillors will discuss the charter with their groups before our August meeting and ideally, only egregious errors or omissions will be expected to alter the stable draft. Finally, on the topic of bylaws amendment, there was support from the SOAC chairs to have the board proceed with the the bylaws amendment in parallel to the CCG work. Our understanding again is that the board intends to lead this bylaws amendment process and will formally communicate this to the community. I have also attached the letter sent to the board by the SOAC chairs.
