Hi all, Thanks Donna for this work: it looks very sensible to me. I’ve a few small drafting changes, inserted in the original marked in red and green and highlighting: I know this can be a problem for those who receive mail in text format: the text I am proposing is: Changing circumstances of appointed CSC member: In the event that a member appointed to the CSC by either the ccNSO or RySG has a change in circumstances that may affect the basis upon which the member was appointed to the CSC, they are required to notify their appointing organization of their changing circumstances and, if the member wishes to remain a member of the CSC, seek re-confirmation of their appointment. The appointing organization will be responsible for considering the request in accordance with internal procedures. The appointing organization will be responsible for notifying the Chair of the CSC of its decision and should also notify the other appointing organisation. In the event that the appointing organization is not willing to re-confirm the appointment, the member will be required to resign from the CSC and the appointing organization will be required to fill the vacancy as soon as possible. A temporary replacement may be appointed while attempts are made to fill the vacancy. If a member wishes to resign from the CSC because of a change in circumstances, or for any other reason, they must also notify their appointing organization. Any new appointment will need to be approved by both the ccNSO Council and the RySG, and the GNSO Council should be notified of any new appointment. Hope this helps! Martin From: CSC-Review [mailto:csc-review-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Austin, Donna via CSC-Review Sent: 09 January 2018 20:41 To: Maria Otanes <maria.otanes@icann.org>; CSC-review@icann.org Subject: [CSC-Review] INPUT PLS: Proposed changes to Charter Happy New Year Everyone We had an item that we put aside during our last call that I was going to follow up on in the New Year that related to the process for replacing a member who resigned, and what should happen if the circumstances of a member changed during their tenure. I think we need to include a separate section in the Charter to address both these possibilities, or we could expand the Recall of members section. I’ve drafted a possible section below that could be included in the Charter to address the situation. Please take some time to review and provide feedback. Changing circumstances of appointed CSC member: In the event that a member appointed to the CSC by either the ccNSO or RySG has a change in circumstances that may affect the basis upon which the member was appointed to the CSC, and if the member wishes to remain a member of the CSC, they are required to notify their appointing organization of their changing circumstances and, if the member wishes to remain a member of the CSC, seek re-confirmation of their appointment. The appointing organization will be responsible for considering the request in accordance with internal procedures. The appointing organization will be responsible for notifying the Chair of the CSC of its decision and the re-confirmation. The ccNSO and GNSO Councils should also be notified of the re-confirmation notify the other appointing organisation. In the event that the appointing organization is not willing to re-confirm the appointment, the member will be required to resign from the CSC and the appointing organization will be required to fill the vacancy as soon as possible. A temporary replacement may be appointed while attempts are made to fill the vacancy. If a member wishes to resign from the CSC because of a change in circumstances, or for any other reason, they must also notify their appointing organization. Any new appointment will need to be approved by both the ccNSO Council and the RySG, and the ccNSO and GNSO Councils should be notified of any new appointment. This minor change reflects the different roles of the ccNSO and GNSO Councils as I understand it. Abdalla might have views from inside the ccNSO Council about its role and I’ll defer to him for a definitive ruling! We should also think about whether it would be appropriate to make a change to the Membership Composition of the Charter to make it more accurate. Both the ccNSO and the RySG have some flexibility in their selection process to appoint someone who is not employed by a TLD registry, but may still be qualified to represent direct customers. Again, I’d appreciate your feedback. Membership Composition The CSC should be kept small and comprise representatives with direct experience and knowledge of IANA naming functions. At a minimum the CSC will comprise: * Two gTLD Registry Operators * Two ccTLD Registry Operators. **We might want to consider changing this to: * Two representatives gTLD Registry Operators * Two representatives ccTLD Registry Operators This new formulation does seem to be more in line with the appointing organisations’ selection processes. The RySG selection process notes that: “Candidates seeking selection through the RySG must be employed by a gTLD registry operator or explain how they are qualified to represent gTLD registry operators on the CSC.” The ccNSO notes that a candidate: “Should be employed or have active backing by a ccTLD manager and should demonstrate the support by the ccTLD manager in respect to the required time commitment to participate actively in the CSC.” Thanks everyone. We have some looming deadlines so we need to get the wrapped up in the next couple of weeks if we’re going to meet them.
