Best, Chantelle *Attendance:* Benjamin Akinmoyeje, Bruna Martins dos Santos, Caleb Ogundele, David Morar, John More, Ken Herman, Olivier KOUAMI, Raphael Beauregard-Lacroix, Raymond Mamattah, Razoana Moslam, Shah Zahidur Rahman, Vernatius Ezeama, Yusif Amadu | * ICANN Org:* Andrea Glandon, Becky Nash, Brenda Brewer, Chantelle Doerksen, Sara Sarraf, Victoria Yang, Xavier Calvez *Zoom Recording:* https://icann.zoom.us/rec/share/zYO339dHgBhQ-_FR5iAoB-ywvPAULlp-4gbBp0wYI8z… *Chat:* 00:36:38 Victoria Yang: For your reference, here is the link, consists of presentation deck, transcript, and recording of the ICANN 72 prep week session about this topic. 00:39:10 Andrea Glandon - ICANN Org: Bruna sends her apologies as she did have to drop off. 00:41:49 Xavier Calvez: This session, along with the other engagement sessions, is helping to design a first framework which will be used to conduct the pilot. After the pilot is completed, adjustments to the framework will be made and a 2nd version of the framework will be used to carry out the next prioritization phase for the planning of FY24. 00:43:22 Raphael Beauregard-Lacroix: thanks yes 00:43:34 Victoria Yang: Link: https://72.schedule.icann.org/meetings/dEJLQMNquxwkG3uvX 00:47:09 Raphael Beauregard-Lacroix: good on my side 00:47:25 Benjamin Akinmoyeje: I agree with the frequency proposed. 00:51:23 Xavier Calvez: Thank you Benjamin. 00:52:30 Xavier Calvez: Even if there would not be a specific public comment process on the priorities suggested, there will be an opportunity for public comment on the draft plans, which will have been designed using the input of the priorities proposed. 00:52:53 Shah Zahidur Rahman: consultay with As/ac will be reginal or in same webinar? 00:57:48 Victoria Yang: Shah, I want to make sure I understand your question correctly. Are you asking, if the consultation workshops (option 1) will be by AC/SO or will the consultation be general public consultation? 00:59:57 Xavier Calvez: Understood, very helpful. Thank you. 01:00:35 Raphael Beauregard-Lacroix: yes of course 01:01:09 Shah Zahidur Rahman: @Victoria, public consultation, 01:02:58 Xavier Calvez: @Shah: important question. When we do webinars on planning topics, we have carried out several sessions covering all time zones. 01:03:31 Victoria Yang: For Option 1, we are proposing to have consultation with AC/SOs by group, similar to the strategic outlook trend session exercise each year. On top of that, we will also hold public webinars to ensure diverse and broad coverage of participation, especially an opportunity for those who doesn’t necessarily belong to an AC or SO. 01:03:55 Xavier Calvez: But we are considering creating regionally based webinars, in specific time zones and focused on the participants of the region. 01:06:26 Shah Zahidur Rahman: @Thanks , Victoria for clarification, thts really need in two stage of consultation process bcos to ensure bottom up engagement 01:07:10 Olivier KOUAMI: I humbly think that we are already on option 2 with this Team. No ? 01:08:11 Benjamin Akinmoyeje: @Xavier , regionally based and time zone based webinars is a good idea. It will help bring maximum input I believe. 01:20:28 Xavier Calvez: Thank you Benjamin. 01:20:53 Xavier Calvez: @Olivier: which team do you think corresponds to option 2? 01:24:05 Raphael Beauregard-Lacroix: this is all new to me so nothing for now :) 01:24:15 Raphael Beauregard-Lacroix: it was good to know, yes! 01:25:29 Benjamin Akinmoyeje: I will opt for the hierarchy option 01:27:34 Raphael Beauregard-Lacroix: dear all apologies I will have to drop the call (thought initially this was 1hr too ;)). Thanks a lot Becky and looking forward to further involvement in the planning process. 01:28:09 Victoria Yang: Thank you for attending Raphael. 01:29:06 Benjamin Akinmoyeje: Thank you @Raphael , see you later 🙂 01:34:32 Benjamin Akinmoyeje: It is a good idea, I will participate 01:42:31 Victoria Yang: Thank you all for your participation and the valuable feedback. 01:42:52 Shah Zahidur Rahman: Thank you all, stay safe 01:42:59 Benjamin Akinmoyeje: Thank you all, bye _______________________________ Chantelle Doerksen Policy Development Support Specialist Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Mobile: +1 (310) 463-9193 Skype: chantelle.doerksen.icann https://www.icann.org/ _______________________________________________ NPOC-EC mailing list NPOC-EC(a)icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/npoc-ec _______________________________________________ By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy (https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy) and the website Terms of Service (https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos) You can visit the Mailman link above to change your membership status or configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on. -- *Caleb Ogundele* Mobile: +1-204-558-6904 Email: muyiwacaleb(a)gmail.com

Welocome on board 2021-22!
by Raoul Plommer Nov. 8, 2021

Nov. 8, 2021

Dear NPOC members, I wanted to warmly welcome our new board for the term 2021-22 and especially our new active members, Gloria, who is taking on the big chair of our Policy Committee, and Adisa who will be communicating the will of NPOC far and wide, but especially to our members. Caleb will be handling all of our members' queries, as well as vetting membership applications with Adisa at the NCSG EC. Emmanuel and me will be facilitating meetings, voting and other events that keep the community engaged. I would like to float the idea that our members could join us in future EC meetings - we're not too many to open the EC meetings to all of our members. What do you guys think? Let me finish by encouraging you to engage with the NPOC community and asking the EC members for advice to help you contribute into the ICANN policy development process. Let's make this winter count for NPOC and its members! -Raoul

by Raoul Plommer Oct. 28, 2021

Oct. 28, 2021

Dear members, The charter and its annex are finally ready for their last stage of the review - again. The Charter: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lupwhTYRC_mW56a3uWLj-aiJDQ_KK-XhrvwsfKa… At the end of the charter document, you can find the link to the annex. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1blJT9QVRErEwxzhpmA8ws2UP28E1oGZnuvsBvPR… Good things come to those who wait. We've been at it since 2016. There's a holistic ICANN review coming to all or most of its parts so it's nice to have this groundwork finally done. Now we will be ready for any other reviews coming our way to execute them swiftly - maybe in three years or even less! :) -Raoul

This was our sixth virtual meeting, and it is as important as ever to continue our work together despite the challenges posed by the pandemic. I’m grateful for your flexibility. The planning and programming of an ICANN Annual General Meeting is determined by the community, and I hope you found the sessions productive. Key discussions about issues like DNSSEC and security, promoting diversity and inclusivity in future ICANN meetings, and the technical aspects of registry work are crucial to our commitment to support the security, stability, and interoperability of the Internet. The work we undertake at these meetings requires your involvement and engagement to make progress possible. I look forward to the community gathering at the ICANN73 Community Forum in March 2022. Looking Ahead to ICANN73 By Naela Sarras VP, Stakeholder Engagement - North America As ICANN72 is winding down, we wish to extend our warmest thanks to you for your continued support of ICANN’s mission and your many and varied contributions. We also wish to thank our regional community who participated in our first ever NA Space session, ICANN’s meetings team, and all those who put in many hours of work to make this meeting possible. We hope you found this week’s sessions productive and useful. As we close our final 2021 Public Meeting, we would be remiss if we didn't remind you that the ICANN73 Community Forum is scheduled to occur in the North American region from 5-10 March 2022.

ICANN72 BY THE NUMBERS REGIONAL FOCUS: ASIA, AUSTRALIA, PACIFIC Return of Asia Pacific Internet Governance Academy Disrupted by COVID-19 last year, the Asia Pacific Internet Governance Academy (APIGA) returns this year with a newly adapted version of the original five-day capacity-building program in Korea. APIGA 2021 <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001aUjXtFHhghXpB-PAhZJ8tCwKJAIpzzqChMcZIUED_FM…> is an online program running for six weeks from 1 October to 12 November 2021 for Asia Pacific (APAC) youth leaders. The program overlaps with ICANN72, so participants also received a tailored experience of an ICANN Public Meeting. In addition to attending selected ICANN72 sessions, participants were also able to network with ICANN Board members and key Supporting Organization and Advisory Committee leaders from APAC. APIGA will culminate with an ICANN Conference Roleplay <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001aUjXtFHhghXpB-PAhZJ8tCwKJAIpzzqChMcZIUED_FM…> where participants will take on different stakeholders’ positions on a current topic and seek to achieve consensus. For the first time, ICANN community leaders will be invited to observe the Conference Roleplay on 9 November. Co-hosted by ICANN and the Korea Internet Security Agency (KISA), one in four APIGA alumni continue to be actively involved in ICANN or the wider Internet Governance ecosystem. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ICANN COMMUNITY ‌ Manju Chen China Manju Chen is a researcher with the National Information Infrastructure Enterprise Promotion Association (NIIEPA). Chen has been attending ICANN Public Meetings regularly since ICANN61 in San Juan, and became a member of the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG) in 2019. She represented NCSG in the EPDP Phase 2A working group and will represent NCSG in the Registration Accuracy Scoping Team. She has also been appointed as a councillor for the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council, with her term beginning after the 2021 Annual General Meeting. Chen is an Asia Pacific Internet Governance Academy (APIGA) alumnus, ICANN67 Fellow, and Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum (APrIGF) 2020 Fellow. She is also a proud member of Youth4IG, a youth coalition in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region that works to empower young leaders and strengthen youth voices in the Internet governance ecosystem. Chen believes the voice of the youth community is indispensable in a healthy and strong multistakeholder model. MEET THE ICANN FELLOWS "Whenever you have the opportunity to learn something new, take it and put it to good use." Afi Edoh Togo Afi Edoh is a technical project management professional. She is part of the technical group within the Adversary Group of the United Nations Internet Governance Forum (IGF), which is responsible for organizing the annual global IGF. Edoh volunteers on a part time basis as a mentor and event organizer for the Internet Society Togo chapter as well as the IGFs in Africa and West Africa. She uses the opportunity to encourage young people to participate in Internet-related topics. Through her volunteer positions, she was also able to encourage others to get involved in ICANN's work in her region and beyond. Her first ICANN meeting was ICANN70 as a Fellow. Even though it was a virtual meeting, she felt that the turnout was excellent. Edoh holds a master's degree in information technology from Sikkim Manipal University. She also contributes blogs and articles as a fellow at the Collaboration on International ICT Policy in East and Southern Africa (CIPESA). WELCOME TO THE NEXTGEN@ICANN "The Internet is a reflection of all of us globally and represents the true sense of 'unity in diversity' principle. Eventually, I would like to give back to the Fellows program in any way I can, perhaps by mentoring new members and outreach." Sai Prasad Chandrasekaran Indiana University Bloomington Sai Prasad Chandrasekaran is a newcomer to ICANN and is currently pursuing his Master’s degree in Cybersecurity at Indiana University. Chandrasekaran first ‘encountered’ ICANN while researching for a book he is authoring and learnt of the nuances of Internet governance issues and commitment of private and nonprofit organizations such as ICANN. Chandrasekaran is excited about the opportunity to participate in ICANN72 and exchange perspectives on Internet governance and its related issues with fellow participants. This could open the door for future collaboration in future events. Chandrasekaran also hopes to spread awareness of ICANN’s role and activities in his region and encourage participation from under-represented communities.

Part one of the meeting will focus on priority issues in GNSO policy development processes, for example the GNSO Council is expected to vote on Phase 2A recommendations of the Expedited Policy Development Process on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data. Part two of the meeting will focus on administrative matters and planning for upcoming GNSO Council projects and activities. GNSO Council Meeting <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013eq-z_VPx0MqQwpXaHBXLIMddItwdjXdv85dKdJQdP3…> 12:30-14:30 PDT | 19:30-21:30 UTC Should the ccNSO Become More Involved in DNS Abuse Discussions? Join us for a panel discussion with country code top-level domain (ccTLD) managers and representatives from other Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees, and ICANN org. The goal of the session is to understand what the ccNSO should do with respect to Domain Name System abuse, in addition to what is already happening at the local and regional ccTLD level. Based on the guidance of the ccTLD community, the ccNSO Council will plan ccNSO involvement in the discussions about DNS abuse and related activities that could assist ccTLDs. If a plan moves forward, it will be shared with the community. DNS Abuse - What's the role of the ccNSO? <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013eq-z_VPx0MqQwpXaHBXLIMddItwdjXdv85dKdJQdP3…> 14:30-16:00 PDT | 21:30-23:00 UTC KEY SESSION RECAP GNSO EPDP on Internationalized Domain Names This session was held on Tuesday 26 October. View the session materials here <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013eq-z_VPx0MqQwpXaHBXLIMddItwdjXdv85dKdJQdP3…>. Agenda During the first part of the session, the working group received an update on the ccPDP4 on (de-)selection of IDN ccTLD Strings. During the second part of the session, the working group discussed recommendations of the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Working Group to establish a mechanism that allows specific parties to challenge or appeal certain types of actions or inactions that appear to be inconsistent with the Applicant Guidebook. The Working Group considered whether such a challenge process should be available where an applied-for TLD label, whose script is supported by the RZ-LGR, is determined to be “invalid.” Highlights - Kenny Huang (ccPDP4 Chair) and Anil Kumar Jain (ccPDP4 Vice Chair and alternate Liaison to the IDNs EPDP) provided an update on the status of the ccPDP4 on (De-)Selection of IDN ccTLD Strings, including work underway and planned timeline for completion of the ccPDP. One particular area of focus was the Variant Management Subgroup, which has the clearest connection to the work of this EPDP. Discussion also focused on establishing regular touchpoints between the two working groups to ensure coordination on relevant topics. - The working group discussed the possible procedural application of the RZ-LGR into the new gTLD application process, based on the 2012 round process flow and a set of assumptions. - The working group considered a draft process flow document detailing where a challenge process could be applied for cases in which an applied-for TLD label, whose script is supported by the RZ-LGR, is determined to be “invalid.” Next Steps The Working Group will resume its normal meeting schedule following ICANN72 and continue deliberations on charter Topic A: Consistent definition and technical utilization of Root Zone Label Generation Rules.

GET TO KNOW THE ICANN COMMUNITY “Consider contributing to ICANN and help engage your local communities to increase awareness. It is important for newcomers not to get discouraged by the fast-paced work at ICANN, and to stay committed and engaged.” Rao Naveed Bin Rais Pakistan Rao Naveed Bin Rais began his ICANN journey as an ICANN Fellow in 2014 at ICANN50 in London. Since then, he has been involved with ICANN in different capacities and attended at least 14 ICANN Public Meetings. During ICANN72, Rais will be appointed as an At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) member for two years. Rais sees ICANN as “an organization that is open, accountable, and transparent while following the concept of a bottom-up multistakeholder model.” He is most interested in ICANN’s work on the new gTLD subsequent procedures, Internationalized Domain Names and Universal Acceptance, and the security and stability aspects of root servers and domain names. MEET THE ICANN FELLOWS "As I became more familiar with ICANN concepts and groups, I began to provide input in the working groups. This in turn helped me to clarify how to address certain concerns I had with reverse DNS and GDPR." Nicolas Fiumarelli Uruguay Nicolas Fiumarelli is a Computer Engineer and has been involved in ICANN since 2015 at ICANN53 in Buenos Aires. Fiumarelli’s interest in ICANN is influenced by both his professional work and his involvement with the Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC). He is actively involved in the Address Supporting Organization (ASO), the Latin American and Caribbean Islands Regional At-Large Organization (LACRALO), Internet Service Providers and Connectivity Providers (ISPCP), and the Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG). An advocate of the multistakeholder model, Fiumarelli helped to kick off the Youth Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Uruguay in 2016. Since then, he been involved with IGF activities in Uruguay, either as a fellow or mentor, and helps organize the meetings. Fiumarelli is interested in reverse DNS security, Universal Acceptance, registry protocols and security, IPv6, and quantum Internet. He encourages the community to join in the discussions and help to evolve the multistakeholder participation to be more inclusive. WELCOME TO THE NEXTGEN@ICANN "I look forward to learning, engaging, and networking at ICANN72. I hope to get acquainted with the processes, gain new skills on technical aspects of Internet governance, and find new avenues for further involvement in the ICANN community." Meri Baghdasaryan University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School Meri Baghdasaryan is part of the NextGen@ICANN72 program and this is her first ICANN Public Meeting. Baghdasaryan is a lawyer by profession and is often involved in cases regarding Internet governance processes in relation to users’ rights. This prompted her to join the NextGen program in order to learn more about the technical aspects of the Internet. She hopes to gain a holistic view on Internet law and policy matters. Over the last five years, Baghdasaryan has been involved in the Internet governance ecosystem, mostly as a member of the European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG) and the South Eastern European Dialogue on Internet Governance (SEEDIG), as well as serving as a steering committee member for the Eastern European Group of the Youth Coalition of Internet Governance.
