Hi John Please amend my intervention, as follows: I recall I said many more things than captured in these minutes. Thank you Desiree provided an update on the ccNSO Council meetings and ongoing elections. Firstly, the ccNSO Council Election completed on Dec 20, 2024 which resulted in Latin America and the Asia Pacific region electing each 2 councillors. The annual ccNSO 2024 Chair report was due on Jan 9th by the ccNSO chair so it would be shared later. The ccNSO Council, has a long list of working items and related committees including the DNS Abuse Standing Committee and newish Policy IANA Gap analysis Group and the Internet Governance one. She reminded that GNSO and ccNSO would liaise on is the PHR and some timing concerns raised by the ccNSO. Secondly, the ccNSO has 2 candidates for the ICANN Board Seat 12 from .UK and .CA ccTLD registries. (When I reconnected ) she replied that the ccNSO Board elections will start on February 4, 2025. Thank you Desiree -- On Thursday, 16 January 2025 at 17:33, John Emery via council <council@icann.org> wrote:
