Session Chair: David McAuley
ICANN71 marks the 3rd ccNSO Governance Session, building on the previous sessions at ICANN69 and ICANN70. The goal of this ICANN71 session is to consult the ccNSO membership on the proposed high level structure of the revised Members Rules of the ccNSO. The new Rules will have a direct impact on the governance structure of the ccNSO, specifically on the respective roles and responsibilities of the Council and ccNSO membership.The current internal ccNSO Member Rules were adopted in 2004, and since then the ccNSO has evolved: on the one hand it went from 40+ to 172 members, and on the other hand the ccNSO evolved from an organisation with limited scope and mandate to being one of the five Decisional Participants. The results of the session will provide the basis for further work on the new Rules, which will be presented during ICANN72.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION from David McAuley, regarding updating the ccNSO Internal Rules. David is session chair for the ICANN71 ccNSO Governance Session. He is also chair of the GRC sub-group working on the new set of rules for the ccNSO.

The ccPDP3 Working Group, which develops a review mechanism for decisions pertaining to delegation, transfer, revocation and retirement of ccTLDs has - among others - identified the decisions that should be subject to a review mechanism, and is currently exploring the requirements for the review mechanism itself.
The ccPDP4 Working Group on the (de) selection of Internationalised Domain Name ccTLD strings is steadily making progress reviewing and updating the criteria, procedures and documentation of the process for the selection of IDN ccTLD strings

During this session, the ccTLD and broader communities will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed policy regarding ccPDP3on the retirement of country code top-level domains, which will now go into the decision-making phase. At its 17 June 2021 meeting, the ccNSO Council is expected to discuss and vote on the recommendation to adopt the proposed policy on the Retirement of ccTLDs (ccPDP3-RET), as developed by the ccPDP3-Retirement Working Group. If approved, the recommendation will be put forth to the ccNSO members to vote on. Voting in the first election round is expected to start on Wednesday, 7 July 2021 (00:01 UTC) and will close on Wednesday, 28 July (23:59 UTC). At least 50% of the ccNSO members need to lodge their votes, and at least 66% of the members need to vote in favour. Only if the recommended Retirement Policy gets approved by the ccNSO members, the policy recommendations will be presented to the ICANN Board of Directors for their consideration. A heads up regarding the upcoming member vote has been posted here.
