by Ozan Sahin June 3, 2021

June 3, 2021

Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, This is a reminder on the close of the nomination period for the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom). So far we have received a self-nomination from Amir Qayyum. Amir’s nomination has been supported by Abdulkarim Oloyede, Alejandro Acosta, and Warren Kumari. The nomination period will close at 23:59 UTC on 27 May 2021. Best, Ozan Sahin Policy Specialist Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Mobile: +90 533 641 0007 Skype: ozan.sahin.icann www.icann.org<applewebdata://021EB1F1-F6B6-443A-908F-419605BF3A61/www.icann.org> From: rssac-caucus <rssac-caucus-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Ozan Sahin <ozan.sahin(a)icann.org> Date: 28 April 2021 Wednesday 19:59 To: "rssac-caucus(a)icann.org" <rssac-caucus(a)icann.org> Subject: [RSSAC Caucus] Nomination Period: RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, It is time to begin the selection process for the Outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the 2022 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom), in anticipation of a request from the ICANN NomCom Operations Team to submit the name of the RSSAC Liaison to the 2022 ICANN NomCom by mid-June 2021. The role is a one-year term beginning at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting to be held during ICANN72. Please refer to this page<https://www.icann.org/nomcom2021> for more information about the Nominating Committee. I have also copied below the relevant sections from “RSSAC000v5: Operational Procedures” for your reference. With this notice, a one-month nomination period via this distribution list is now open. Nominations or self-nominations will be accepted and require a second. Nominees must then accept or decline their nomination and may provide a statement with more context for their decision. The nomination period will close at 23:59 UTC on 27 May 2021. The RSSAC will then consider the slate of candidates at its 1 June teleconference. As you may recall, the RSSAC appointed Amir Qayyum to this role in 2019 (for service in 2020 ICANN NomCom) and 2020 (for service in 2021 ICANN NomCom). Amir’s term will expire by ICANN72, the Annual General Meeting. Amir is eligible for re-appointment as per the RSSAC Operational Procedures. The RSSAC Leadership appreciates your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact the RSSAC Chair and Vice Chair or support staff with any questions or concerns. Best, Ozan Sahin on behalf of Fred Baker, RSSAC Chair Brad Verd, RSSAC Vice Chair 1.2.8.6 Outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee is specified in the ICANN Bylaws. The term for the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee shall be one year. A person may only serve for three consecutive terms. The eligibility status for a previous liaison is reset one year after having stepped down. The RSSAC must elect the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee according to the outgoing RSSAC liaisons election procedure (Section 1.2.8.9) from the members of the RSSAC Caucus. The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee acts as a conduit between the RSSAC and the ICANN Nominating Committee reporting on matters that need to be coordinated or communicated between the two bodies. The role requires discretion, management skills, and considerable time commitment. 1.2.8.9 Outgoing RSSAC Liaisons Election Procedure One month prior to each election, qualified nominees will be accepted for the outgoing liaison position and announced on the RSSAC distribution list. During the meeting that includes election of an outgoing liaison position on its announced agenda, additional nominations will be accepted, and all nominees will indicate their intentions: to accept or to decline their nomination. In the event that only one candidate is standing for election, the RSSAC may elect the new outgoing liaison by acclamation. In the event that two or more candidates are standing for election, the RSSAC Chair will call for a vote. Members will indicate their selection. A simple majority (half plus one) of the voting members will establish the new liaison. In the event a simple majority is not achieved due to having more than two nominees, the nominee with the least number of votes is eliminated and the voting is repeated with the reduced slate of names. The process is repeated until a nominee achieves a simple majority. In the event of a tie, a runoff election will occur with members indicating their selection. In the event of a second tie, the floor will be opened for discussion followed by a new vote with the simple majority designating the new liaison. The RSSAC Chair will forward the name of the outgoing liaison-elect to the reciprocating body. If a vacancy exists in an outgoing liaison role, the RSSAC will elect a new outgoing liaison through this process.

Local Perspective Work Party: Discussion of Data Repository
by Renard, Kenneth D CTR USARMY DEVCOM ARL (USA) May 13, 2021

May 13, 2021

The last section of the document to discuss for the Local Perspective work party is about the data repository to store the results of the tool. We want to set out basic requirements for a data repository without getting too deep in to the details of an implementation. We would like to collect thoughts on the following topics on the data repository: · Who should own the repository · Privacy of data, and liability for data controller · Repository only listens to registered “sources”, DoS prevention · Availability of data for analysis and research · POC email (not available to researchers?) ? Please feel free to comment here on the caucus mail list or bring ideas to the next work party meeting on 17 May 2021 at 1500 UTC .

Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, It is time to begin the selection process for the Outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the 2022 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom), in anticipation of a request from the ICANN NomCom Operations Team to submit the name of the RSSAC Liaison to the 2022 ICANN NomCom by mid-June 2021.
