TOMORROW:
Planning Assumptions for Subsequent Procedures for New gTLDs
Executive:
Cyrus Namazi, Senior Vice President, Global Domains Division
FOR:
All Community Leaders
In December 2015, the GNSO initiated a Policy Development Process (PDP) to determine if changes to existing policy recommendations
are needed before the next round of gTLDs. The PDP Working Group expects to publish its final report with its recommendations by December 2019. These recommendations may lead to procedural changes for subsequent rounds of gTLD applications, which ICANN org
must implement and manage. In the course of our preparatory work toward the planning and implementation of the new policy, ICANN org has compiled a number of fundamental operationally focused assumptions to help with the preliminary planning and operational
readiness of the organization. These are working assumptions informed by the current work of the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group. Depending on outcome of the PDP Working Group and community input, the assumptions may be updated.
These assumptions have been shared with the ICANN Board, as well as the PDP Working Group and other parts of the community.
ICANN org has held discussions and/or received input from the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group, GAC, ALAC, and RSSAC. ICANN org plans to summarize the community input received on the operational planning assumptions and share with the ICANN Board at
its September workshop. Any community input received by Friday, 30 August 2019 will be included in the summary.
To submit additional feedback, please contact Trang Nguyen,

NextGen@ICANN Survey
Executive:
Sally Costerton, Senior Adviser to President and Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement
FOR:
All Community Leaders
The ICANN organization is initiating a
community
consultation [r20.rs6.net]
to identify improvement opportunities for the
NextGen@ICANN
Program [r20.rs6.net]. The review will start with gathering community
input via a survey about several aspects of the NextGen@ICANN Program, including its purpose, goals, processes, and synergies with the ICANN academic community.
The
survey
[r20.rs6.net]
(PDF with background at the beginning and questionnaire questions at the end) is intended for all ICANN community groups;
individuals are encouraged to work with their relevant Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees, stakeholder groups, and constituencies.
Responses are due Monday, 9 September 2019.
Based on the input received from the survey, ICANN org will draft a proposal for program improvements that will be published
for Public Comment. Once all feedback is received, ICANN org will prepare the final proposal for program improvements.

Third Accountability and Transparency Review Survey Available for Community Input
Executive:
Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President, Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives
FOR:
All Community Leaders
The third Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) has published a survey for community input.
The aim of this survey is to collect opinions from individuals and groups in the ICANN community on ICANN’s accountability
and transparency, and to help the ATRT3 Review Team identify areas which require improvement and could benefit from a recommendation.
The
individual survey is available here: http://input.icann.org/go?iv=eupcis2ldyww
The
group survey (intended to capture group responses from ICANN community groups) is available here:
http://input.icann.org/go?iv=3j46tfx0r5yzt
Following the close of both surveys on Friday, 13 September 2019 at 23:59 UTC, the ATRT3 Review Team will evaluate
responses as input to its draft final report.

CSC Findings on PTI Performance for July 2019
From:
Byron Holland, CSC Chair
FOR:
All Community Leaders
As chair of the Customer Standing Committee (CSC), I am providing you with our monthly findings on the performance of
Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) over July
2019 [r20.rs6.net]. I am pleased to inform you the CSC has concluded
that PTI’s overall performance over July 2019 was again “Excellent” - PTI met the Service Level Agreement (SLA) at 100% for the month of July 2019. 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].
I am also very pleased to inform you that after the conclusion of the Public Comment proceeding on the SLA for processing
Label Generation Rules with respect to Internationalized Domain Name tables and publishing these tables, the CSC has agreed to the proposed changes. In accordance with the SLA change procedure, the next step is that CSC will request the Country Code Names
Supporting Organization and the Generic Names Supporting Organization Councils to approve to the introduction of this SLA.
The second SLA listed in the CSC Findings report, the country code top-level domain creation/transfer – validation and
reviews: SLA amendments, is currently under development.
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. If you would like to be informed of upcoming meetings or receive CSC reports directly, you may want to subscribe to our
announce
list [r20.rs6.net]. Any comments on our reporting to you is welcome.
The CSC became effective 1 October 2016. Background information on the committee along with transcripts of our meetings
and other useful information can be found here
[r20.rs6.net].
