Notes and Action Items from SCCI Meeting #1
by Steve Chan March 27, 2025

March 27, 2025

Dear WG Members, Please find the high-level notes, outcomes, and action items from the SCCI meeting #1<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GNSOSCCI/pages/140247044/…> on 26 March 2025. Best, Steve ACTION ITEMS: * Action Item: When completing the Indicator column, staff to include the GPI checklist as a factor. * Action Item: Staff to provide a Google doc containing the Criteria developed by the CCOICI and SCCI members to take back to their respective groups for input. Staff to consider format for collecting information on Indicators (e.g., two columns, one for existing Indicators that already demonstrate adherence to the Criteria and one where further work may be needed). NOTES: Welcome and SOIs * Question about membership not being fully filled out. Noted that you can’t force groups to participate. Several reminders sent, with deadline spelled out clearly. Review of Project Plan * Question about timing and potential overlap. Noted that the project plan is still to be determined as we await information from external sources (CIP, board-readiness, etc.). The overlap might not represent the SCCI members working on concurrent topics but rather, ICANN org staff could be preparing materials in the background (e.g., analysis of the PDP 3.0 implementation). * Question about Draft 5-yr Plan – clarified that it has already been adopted by the Board in March 2025. Continuous Improvement Program (CIP) Framework * Question about whether the SCCI will review the effectiveness of other SO/ACs and the NomCom, as well as the SG/Cs. Noted that this question was raised during the COICI – intention is to remain within the remit of GNSO overall, which is the intended focus of the SCCI. Clarified that the question is whether or not the required changes might result in changes to the GNSO Operating Procedures. Noted that it is to be determined based on outcomes. * Question about whether or not an Indicator needs to be developed in the event the GNSO already achieves the goal. Confirmed that Indicators can be what the GNSO already does or if not, then what it intends to do in the future to achieve or measure against the Criteria. Can consider two Indicator columns to make clear the difference. * Question about whether the SCCI will examine the SG/Cs. Noted that the SCCI will only evaluate at the GNSO (as a whole) and the GNSO Council. The members of the SCCI should however ensure that their respective SG/Cs are not inconsistent with the GNSO/GNSO Council. * Question about how the Global Public Interest can be evaluated. Noted that there is a GPI checklist to help perform this analysis, which is intended to serve as guidance, not be prescriptive. Next Steps Action Item: When completing the Indicator column, staff to include the GPI checklist as a factor. Action Item: Staff to provide a Google doc containing the Criteria developed by the CCOICI and SCCI members to take back to their respective groups for input. Staff to consider format for collecting information on Indicators (e.g., two columns, one for existing Indicators that already demonstrate adherence to the Criteria and one where further work may be needed).

Notes and Action Items | SCCI Kick-off Meeting | 09 March 2025 at 00:30 UTC
by Saewon Lee March 11, 2025

March 11, 2025

Dear All, It was great to meet everyone on Saturday (local time), both online and in person, to kick off SCCI! Please see the following action items and high-level notes from the meeting. Kind regards, Saewon Notes and Action Items from SCCI Kick-off on Sunday, 09 March 2025 at 00:30 (Saturday local time at 16:30) [Decision] * The abbreviation for the Standing Committee for Continuous Improvement – SCCI – to be pronounced as “S-Y” as how “psy” is pronounced in “psychology.” [Action Items] 1. Staff to send a meeting invitation for weekly calls; Wednesdays at 12:00 UTC starting from 26 March [COMPLETE] 2. SCCI Team to review the current CIP Framework for GNSO (Criteria)<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LrPzxmKxCq3BBlWTOazk7Rdu2s6_LUaWd1De-JC…> and consult potential Criteria and Indicators with respective groups. 3. Leadership to provide the GNSO Council with a comprehensive overview of SCCI and its upcoming work, while presenting the project plan, during the April Council Meeting. [Notes] - See Kick-off Slides here: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GNSOSCCI/pages/106641114/… 1. Welcome and Brief Introduction * Brief introduction of all SCCI members 1. Meeting Frequency and Schedule * Leadership suggests a weekly meeting of 60 minutes, starting with Wednesdays at 12:00 UTC *Action Item: Staff to send a meeting invitation for weekly calls; Wednesdays at 12:00 UTC starting from 26 March [COMPLETE] 1. Overview of SCCI * Leadership (Manju) gave an overview of SCCI; the development from CCOICI and the key highlights of the revised Charter 1. Proposed Project Plan * Staff (Julie) gave an overview of the proposed project plan (including timeline) to be submitted to GNSO Council for approval in its April meeting. * The plan (including the upcoming portfolio of work and proposed timeline) is only proposed for 2025 (calendar year), including CIP, P&I PSR Review, and PDP 3.0 Review; It may have to change as the work of SCCI will directly drive what the implementation will look like and this will only become certain after the SCCI performs the work. * The timeline for upcoming work such as ATRT4, ATRT3, Board Readiness, Pilot Holistic Review, Organizational Review, Draft 5-yr Strategic Plan is yet to be determined. * Discussion Items - There were some questions from members regarding upcoming work: 1. What does the review entail for P&I PSR? • PSR has its own recommendations, and the review is not limited to the outcome from the P&I Review Team but broader, which includes those from PSR itself. 1. What is the progress for Board Readiness? • A lot of work has been done so far but the next steps are for the Council to decide, which will follow in a few months’ time. 1. Are there any expectations for the upcoming work, such as ATRT4, ATRT3, Board Readiness, Pilot Holistic Review, Organizational Review, Draft 5-yr Strategic Plan, on when they should be delivered by? • Currently there is insufficient information for Staff to determine the timeline for the work mentioned; they are pending further guidance from ICANN org. 1. While ATRT4 awaits Board’s guidance, how should the upcoming work and its urgency be communicated with/guided by the GNSO Council, if at all? • Currently there is no urgency or a precise date for the upcoming work other than what is proposed. Also, unlike a PDP that has a sequential process, the SCCI project plan will need to touch points with Council constantly and maybe by ICANN83, there will need to be a discussion with the Council on how things should move forward. • To respond to the outcome of the GNSO SPS, the Leadership could consider providing the Council an update of SCCI when sharing the project plan, including a comprehensive overview of SCCI, during the April Council Meeting. *Action Item: Leadership to provide the GNSO Council with a comprehensive overview of SCCI and its upcoming work. 1. Next Steps * Staff will send a meeting invitation for weekly calls; Wednesdays at 12:00 UTC starting from 26 March. * SCCI Team should review the current CIP Framework for GNSO (Criteria)<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LrPzxmKxCq3BBlWTOazk7Rdu2s6_LUaWd1De-JC…> and consult potential Framework, including the Criteria and Indicators with respective groups. *Action Items: 1) Staff to send a meeting invitation for weekly calls; Wednesdays at 12:00 UTC starting from 26 March [COMPLETE]; 2) SCCI Team to review the current CIP Framework for GNSO (Criteria)<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LrPzxmKxCq3BBlWTOazk7Rdu2s6_LUaWd1De-JC…> and consult potential Criteria and Indicators with respective groups. 1.

connexion issue on Wiki Atlassian
by David-Irving TAYER March 9, 2025

March 9, 2025

Dear Julie, It would appear that I cannot connect to the ICANN Wiki (see screenshot enclosed). Though unsure, this may be the consequence of the conflict of Atlassian accounts which needed to be suppressed. Would it be possible to reset the password? Warm regards,
