Dear CSC Selection Committee members, Please see the attached draft new slides (in PowerPoint and PDF) for the update to the GNSO Council. In these slides I have endeavored to condense the information and steps, and incorporated the timeline. The format also follows that used for other updates in Helsinki. I will be happy to incorporate any changes you may have to these slides. Thank you again for your consideration. Kind regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director From: <gnso-csc-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund@icann.org> Date: Thursday, June 23, 2016 at 3:03 PM To: "gnso-csc@icann.org" <gnso-csc@icann.org> Subject: [Gnso-csc] CSC Selection Committee Update to GNSO Council in Helsinki 30 June Dear CSC Selection Committee members, Per the GNSO Council meeting agenda at: https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Agenda+30+June+2016 during the meeting on 30 June there will be an update on the selection process for the GNSO liaison to the CSC. I have included below the text of the agenda item. As I mentioned previously, it would be helpful if a member of the Selection Committee would be willing to provide this update (note that Donna is not on the Selection Committee). We could probably use the attached slides and timeline. Please let me know if one of you would be willing to provide the update and if there are other materials you would like me to provide. Thank you very much for your consideration. Kind regards, Julie Julie Hedund, Policy Director --------- From GNSO Council Agenda 30 June------------ Item 8: COMMITTEE UPDATE - Selection of Primary and Alternate Delegates from the GNSO to the New Bylaws-mandated Customer Standing Committee (10 minutes) The package of proposals that was developed by the community in relation to the IANA Stewardship Transition called for the creation of a new structure to provide operational oversight of the performance of the IANA naming function, a role currently performed by the United States government through the National Telecommunications and Information Authority (NTIA). This new oversight structure is to be called the Customer Standing Committee (CSC), and its role is to monitor the performance of the IANA naming function against agreed service level targets. The CSC may also initiate review and make recommendations for changes to service level targets. On 1 June 2016, ICANN sent a request to the ICANN Supporting Organizations (SOs), Advisory Committees (ACs) and Registry Stakeholder Group (RySG) to initiate their respective organization’s processes and appoint candidates to serve as members and liaisons on the CSC. As a ICANN SO, the GNSO may appoint a liaison to the CSC, in addition to the two gTLD registry operator members to be selected by the RySG. For the liaison, a primary and a secondary candidate that meet the qualification requirements in the expression of interest, and are geographically diverse, needs to be appointed. The final composition of members of and liaisons to the CSC is approved first by the RySG and ccNSO, and secondly by the GNSO and ccNSO, who will also decide which members and liaisons will serve the inaugural three-year term. In their review, the ccNSO and GNSO Councils are expected to ensure diversity when approving the final composition of members and liaisons. Liaison candidates are to be confirmed by 22 July 2016, and the final slate as determined by the ccNSO and GNSO Councils to be sent to ICANN on 10 August. On 2 June 2016, the GNSO Council confirmed a selection committee for the primary and secondary GNSO liaison appointment consisting of Councilors Susan Kawaguchi, David Cake, Wolf-Ulrich Knoben and Rubens Kuhl. Here the Selection Committee will update the Council on its work to date, and confirm the timeline for selection, including consideration of any Special Meeting that may be necessary to enable the GNSO to meet the timelines for the appointment of CSC members and liaisons. 8.1 – Update (Donna Austin / CSC Selection Committee members) 8.2 – Next steps From: <gnso-csc-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund@icann.org> Date: Thursday, June 23, 2016 at 2:48 PM To: "gnso-csc@icann.org" <gnso-csc@icann.org> Subject: [Gnso-csc] ccNSO-related sessions in Helsinki on next steps with Bylaws implementation Dear CSC Selection Committee members, Please see below the information provided by Bart Boswinkel concerning ccNSO meetings in Helsinki relating to post transition discussions.
