March 11, 2025

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.

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,

Nomination- Ajith Francis (VC): Call for Volunteers: SCCI Chair & Vice-Chair
by jen＠dot.asia Feb. 21, 2025

Feb. 21, 2025

Dear Julie and SCCI members, We are fortunate to have a great slate of people willing to serve as leadership for the SCCI, just a note that the Chair and Vice Chair need to be from the different houses of the GNSO (in the SCCI charter) so with that in mind I would like to nominate Ajith Francis to serve as Vice Chair of the SCCI. Ajith has been instrumental in revamping the Board Seat 13 procedures for the CPH. He is steering a small team within the RySG on Cyber Incident Reporting, and have previous experience leading two consensus-driven multi-stakeholder policy development processes at the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network, and at an intra-governmental upstart within the erstwhile Planning Commission of the Government of India. We would be well served with having Ajith’s analytical mind as part of the leadership of this group should he accept this nomination. Best, Jen From: Julie Hedlund via Gnso-scci <gnso-scci(a)icann.org> Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2025 4:29 PM To: gnso-scci(a)icann.org Subject: [Gnso-scci] REMINDER: Call for Volunteers: SCCI Chair & Vice-Chair Dear SCCI members, This a reminder. Please see the details below.

Now that membership has been confirmed, we can turn to our first order of business: Calling for Volunteers for Chair and Vice-Chair. Please see the roles and criteria below per the <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/polic…> SCCI Charter [gnso.icann.org] Please submit your nominations on the SCCI list in response to this message no later than close of business, Friday, 21 February. In the event that there is more than one candidate, we will run an election process via Doodle poll. Our kick-off meeting will be held at ICANN82 in Seattle on Saturday, 08 March from 16:30-17:30 local time (09 March 12:30 UTC). An agenda will be posted prior to the meeting. Kind regards, Steve, Saewon, and Julie ***More Information on Leadership Roles and Criteria*** Leadership Structure The SCCI leadership team shall consist of a total of 2 members: ● SCCI Chair (1) ● SCCI Vice-Chair6 (1) The leadership team of the SCCI is a volunteer position, selected by the SCCI and confirmed by the Council. The SCCI Chair serves as a neutral facilitator who calls meetings, presides over SCCI deliberations, and manages the process so that all participants have the opportunity to contribute. The Chair also represents the SCCI to the public. The Chair is also a contributing member to the SCCI deliberations and participates in consensus calls. The Vice-Chair will assist the Chair, and should at any point a Vice-Chair needs to step into the role of Chair, the same expectations with regards to fulfilling the role of Chair as outlined in this charter will apply. As members of the leadership team may be serving in two roles, they are expected to make clear when they are providing input as a member as opposed to speaking in a leadership capacity. Leadership Criteria The SCCI leadership is expected to carry out the roles and responsibilities and meet the qualifications as detailed in the Expectations for Working Group Leaders <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/…> & Skills Checklist [gnso.icann.org] As noted in the document, the leadership team must lead with neutrality and impartiality, while seeking to build consensus. The leadership team should also be familiar with the GNSO Chair Handbook [gnso.icann.org] <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/…> and the Consensus Playbook [gnso.icann.org] <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/…> .

Dear Julie and SCCI team, It would be my pleasure to nominate Lawrence Olawale-Roberts for SCCI Vice-chair. He is very active in different parts of ICANN, has good institutional knowledge and excellent leadership qualities. I think he would be an excellent choice should he accept the nomination.
