Dear SCCI Members, This is a friendly reminder to review the GNSO’s proposed CIP criteria here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17lG2KCmyCbOR7ILZy5wNayuDAoFb0ERMJuMU8NG7... We have not received any feedback yet, which could indicate that leadership and staff did a great job, or it could just mean that the group needed a reminder! I would like to suggest a deadline of 16 January for any feedback.

You can find the CIP-CCG’s framework here: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cip-framework-02jul25-en.pdf The SCCI leadership team worked with staff to compare the SCCI’s draft CIP Criteria from earlier this year against the CIP-CCG’s new framework; fortunately, the SCCI’s existing draft and the new framework are relatively closely aligned. What leadership and staff have therefore done is to make administrative updates to the SCCI’s draft Criteria, in order to make it as consistent as possible with the CIP-CCG framework. Please find the output of that exercise here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17lG2KCmyCbOR7ILZy5wNayuDAoFb0ERMJuMU8NG7... [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/17lG2KCmyCbOR7...> Please provide comments on list or in the document if you discover any issues that must be addressed, ideally no later than mid-January 2026. In the meantime, staff will begin preparing draft Indicators for each of the Criteria, which will be reviewed in detail by the SCCI in the new year. If you have any questions, please let us know. As we will not be meeting before the end of the year, I want to take this opportunity to wish you all happy holidays!
