RSSAC001v2 final outstanding item
by Wessels, Duane May 25, 2023

May 25, 2023

Hello RSSAC Caucus members, Today we held an RSSAC001v2 work party meeting, and I’m happy to say that we are close to completing changes to the draft document. One outstanding point remains in section 3.6, “Diversity of Implementation.” This expectation was recently changed to state that RSOs should share implementation diversity information internally, and then publish aggregate reports from time-to-time. You can read the current text in the google document at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fTRTplssJUayL6XD-qAmkGltXOxmeuPe/edit# The outstanding issue in section 3.6 is whether or not the document should include this sentence: Further, nothing in this expectation prevents members of the community from asking RSOs to describe their operations, possibly under non-disclosure agreement. During today’s call some participants felt that this sentence does not add anything to the expectation. RSSAC documents do not generally talk about actions that they don’t forbid. Since the document does not specifically forbid members of the community from asking, it is obviously allowed. Also, the focus of the document is expectations of RSOs, rather than expectations / behavior of other parties, such as “members of the community.” This sentence is somewhat out of place as an expectation of RSOs. The sentence in question was added during or shortly after our April 4 work party meeting, based on a discussion started by Anupam Agrawal I believe. Since Anupam was not able to participate in today’s meeting, I would like to give him a chance to respond to the proposal to remove this sentence, or perhaps propose some text that everyone can agree on. It is my hope that we can resolve this last outstanding issue here on the mailing list and then move the RSSAC001v2 document to the last call process. DW

Re: [RSSAC Caucus] Nomination Period: RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee
by Ozan Sahin May 8, 2023

May 8, 2023

Dear RSSAC Caucus members, The selection process on the 2024 ICANN Nominating Committee liaison has concluded. RSSAC appointed Rao Naveed Bin Rais to serve on the 2024 ICANN Nominating Committee for a one-year term beginning at the Annual General Meeting in October 2023 (ICANN78), thanking current liaison Hiro Hotta for his service in this role. We thank all RSSAC Caucus members who volunteered to serve. Best, Ozan Sahin Policy Development Support Senior Specialist Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) From: rssac-caucus <rssac-caucus-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Ozan Sahin <ozan.sahin(a)icann.org> Date: 28 March 2023 Tuesday 13:44 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 2024 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom). The role is a one-year term beginning at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting to be held during ICANN78 in October 2023. Please refer to this page<https://www.icann.org/nomcom2023> for more information about the Nominating Committee and read the NomCom Delegate Job Description attached. I have also copied below the relevant sections from “RSSAC000v7: Operational Procedures” for your reference. With this notice, a four-week 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 Monday, 24 April 2023. The RSSAC will then consider the slate of candidates at its May teleconference. As you may recall, the RSSAC appointed Hiro Hotta to this role in 2022 (for service in 2023 ICANN NomCom). Hiro’s one-year term will conclude by ICANN78, the Annual General Meeting. 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 Jeff Osborn, RSSAC Chair and Ken Renard, RSSAC Vice Chair 1.2.7.6 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 unless there are no other candidates for the position. 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 1.2.7.9) 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. 1.2.7.9 Outgoing RSSAC Liaison Election Procedure One month prior to each election, nominations 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. The RSSAC uses ranked choice voting, as outlined in Section 1.4.1 for electing outgoing liaison positions. In the event that only one candidate is standing for election, the RSSAC may elect the new outgoing liaison by acclamation. 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.
