Welcome and Introduction

Meeting is quorate, all 4 members participate in the call. All attendance is taken in usual manner from zoom -room.

Special welcome to PTI Board members amnd observers.

Joint meeting with PTI Board

Lise Fuhr, Chair PTI Board:

Meeting once a year. This is update on informal basis, and opportunity for PTI Board to get feed-back from CSC. Hear from CSC about performance from PTI

PTI Board has developed strategy document with a 4 year time horizon. This is not aligned with ICANN Strategy

Time-horizon. PTI Strategy will be evaluated once a year.

Draft PTI FY 22 Operating plan and Budget: no increase in costs. Deadline for comments 30 November 2020. From planning perspective business as usual.

IFRT report. PTI Board might meet with IFRT, to date no dialogue with IFRT during the actual review.

New Board member: James Gannon, he replaces Wei Wang

Outreach: Given the current circuamstances ( the impact of the Covid pandemic) need to change outreach strategy. Kim Davies looked into outreach PTI efforts. Kim Davies:

Until recently PTI’s Engagement & Outreach strategy dependent on f-2-f meeting, either during ICANN metings or at regional events. In absence travel, and absence of same kind of meeting in virtual environment, need to understand what is the “new normal” and identify improvements

For ccTLD managers: Used to be ccNSO meeting + individual contact during f-2-f meeting. Evolved in providing updates through ccNSO secretariat and invite individual ccTLDs. This did not provide full visibility on emerging issues. To address this PTI has increased its engagement with GSE group.
gTLD operators: similar and additional special virtual meeting with back-end providers
CSC: no major changes, exception is the virtual meeting with PTI Board
Root server operators: no major changes
In context of DNSSec, Trusted community members: little activity post April 2020 due to pandemic, major change procedures key signing ceremonies. Lacking the direct interaction, needs to be replaced.
Budget and Strategy development: limited to webinars / zoom session.
Broad community: Annual PTI report and CEO operational report
PTI Board meeting: planning virtual meeting

CSC comments

PTI learned to adopt to current circumstances.Question on FY 22 Budget: Operating plan not changed, but outreach efforts has changed. Why is FY 22 budget not adjested? Response: As Budget is for FY 22, need to work under assumption that travel will be back. From PTI perspective, potential more traveling, planning to go back to usual. Planning is well ahead for period starting 1 July 2021.

CSC Updates:

Process to make changes to SLAs. Process established in 2019. Afterwards, changes of 3 SLA completed in June 2020 and fully implemented. Since Febriuary this year (2020) all Thresholds fully met. PTI performance up to standard. Looked ahead a little: CSC started to look at areas where no Thresholds/SLA not in place ( before pandemic started) However for the time being fruhter discussion deferred until more clarity on impact of current circumstences on PTI’s processes and procedures. When clear discussions will re-convene discussion.

James Gannon moved on to PTI Board, Naela Sarras moved toother job in ICANN.

CSC had good dialogue with IFRT.

Issue in Bylaws: intiative to start SIFR. Intitiative should be with ICANN
