ccNSO PDP on Retirement Workshop 9th March 2019

The ccNSO PDP on retirement held its workshop on 9th March 2019.  The workshop reviewed the progress made in preparing the draft policy since the last conference call in February. The objective of the sessions was to reach consensus on the core concepts of retirement in the document. A revised schedule detailing the PDP's milestones was presented during the workshop which showed that the work of the workshop was likely to be complete by the year 2022.

ccNSO Council Workshop 10th March 2019

The ccNSO held a workshop for Council members on Sunday 10 March 2019. The main purpose of the workshop was to equip new and existing Councillors with knowledge that would enable them to participate efficiently and effectively in various council working groups such as the triage commitee. The workshop also sought to train Council members on how the Empowered Community Administration works. The workshop was executed using a series of role plays and focus group discussions. ccNSO Council members also took the opportunity to review and reflect on the efficiency and effectiveness of the Council and areas that require improvement.

Strategic and Operational Standing Commitee  (SOPC Workshop) 10 March 2019


The Strategic and Operational Standing Committee met with the ICANN Finance team and reviewed the comments that the commitee submitted to the Commitee with regard to the Strategic and Operational Plan and Budget. Highlights of the session was the fact that the ICANN organization was operating within its budget. The Commitee noted with satisfaction improved reporting from the ICANN Finance team following recommendations made in previous sessions.

TLD OPS Standing Commitee workshop 10 March 2019


The TLD Ops standing commitee held its meeting on 10 March 2019 in which it reviewed latest security incidences that affected ccTLDs globally. The Standing Commitee also reviewed its membership communication strategies  and noted the need for more outreach and a review of its Communication Strategies to ensure that they are able to reach ccTLD Managers whenever incidents affecting ccTLDs are observed.

Joint Session ccNSO and ALAC 10 March 2019

The ccNSO had a session with the ALAC on 10 March 2019. During the Session a recent update of the ALAC and ccNSO work was presentation by Maureen Hilyard the ALAC Chair and Katrina Sataki the ccNSO Chair. The highlight of the session included a presentation by  the ccNSO Strategic and Operating Plan Commitee through its Chair Giovanni made a presentation on its work to the ALAC. The ccNSO also introduced its new Liasion to the ALAC Segun Akano who will be replacing Wafa Dahmani

ccNSO Members Meeting


The ccNSO members meeting was redesigned to incorporate a new format that fosters more engagement among members. Bar stools were introduced to the meeting to encourage greater engagement between speakers and the audience. Session Chairs, under went a series of pre-meeting training and briefs and were encouraged to prepare for the meetings beforehand by engaging the presenters. This resulted in a high level of satisfaction based on the survey conducted at the end of the members meeting.

ccNSO Council Elections 13 March 2019


Katrina Sataki was re-elected as Chair of the ccNSO Council. She will be assisted by two Vice Chair's Byron Holland and Alejandra Reynoso who were also elected in KOBE. Abibu Ntahigiye (tzNIC) and Debbie Monahan stepped down from the Council upon conclusion of their terms and were replaced by Adebiyi Oladipo (NIRA) and Nick Wenban Smith (Nominet).


Updates from the independent Examiner

During the members meeting, the Independent Examiner presented their initial findings to ccNSO members. Overall, they cited the fact that majority of the members (60 percent) were satisfied with the work of the ccNSO Secretariat. It was observed that the ccNSO had benefited a lot from long serving members a factor that contributed to availability of knowledge and expertise required for its ongoing work. The independent examiner also noted the observation from members on the over reliance of the ccNSO on the long serving members and the need to mentor new members for the future work of the ccNSO.

Meetings Programme Commitee meeting 14 March 2019

The meetings programme commitee was formally launched thus replacing the meetings working group. During the meeting a revised charter was presented. After deliberations members were in agreement that the charter did not represent the needs and wishes of the commitee and had to be reviewed. The meeting reviewed the ccNSO sessions during the KOBE meeting. It was noted that the level of engagement with the audience was higher compared to previous meetings. The introduction of bar stools and insertion of questions in presentations as well  as break out sessions were cited as factors that contributed to improved engagement with the audience. Members also discussed preparations for the Marrakech meeting. Suggestions included organizing a webinar for the prior to the Marrakech meeting to welcome new comers

October 2018 CCNSO Update

ccPDP on retirement working group Face to Face Meeting - 20 October 2018

The working group held its face to face meeting on 20th October 2018 in Barcelona. The meeting was a continuation of the sessions held on 27 September 2018. During the session members continued with various mindmap exercises that sought to address among other things issues such as the time required by a Registry to complete a retirement process as well as what would happen if a country that had previously retired its ccTLD decided to revert to its old name hence requiring the old country name code to be restored to the root.

ccNSO Study Group on use of Emojis as SLD Face to Face Meeting - 20 October 2018

Thestudy Group had a face to meeting in Barcelona. During the meeting , participants felt that there was need to avoid dwelling on negative aspects of using emojis as TLDs and pay more attention on positive aspects. The Study Group requested for more time from the ccNSO council to enable it consolidate views from a cross section of members and present its final report in Kobe Japan. Overall, the SSAC maintained the same point of view they had in the previous meeting that Emojis should not be allowed as SLDs due to their confusing similarity.

ccNSO Strategic and Operational Planning Commitee Face to Face meeting - 21 October 2018

The Strategic and operational planning commitee met ICANN's Finance team and reviewed the FY 2018 Finance Highlights. Notable issues were a reduction in the number of Staff and the fact that ICANN had put in place austerity measures that enabled it to operate below the projected budget leading to a profit.

The session also delved into ICANNs Financial year 2020 operating plan and budget process which covered the process overview and deliverables, planning structure, document overview as well as the proposed timeline and key dates. Members of the commitee sought to know how the Community will be involved in the process.

The ICANN Multi Stakeholder and Strategic Initiatives  team gave an update on the ICANN Strategy Plan 2021 - 2025. The team outlined the process that will be following during the Community Consultation phase. Participants encouraged the team to review comments that were made by different consituencies on the current strategic plan . Members noted that the Strategic trends exercises that were conducted in Panama yielded very usefull output which should be considered. Members also requested the tean to avopid requesting for comments during Holiday seasons.

Maureen Hilyard is the ccNSO Liaison for 2013-2014.

ccNSO Report to the ALAC - 25 February 2014 1500UTC

 

1. As you can see below, the ALAC-ccNSO Coordination Team has met and established a schedule of events for our joint meeting, which will held on Monday, March 24, This will be a lunch time meeting and the main focus will be on creating some understanding about each other's organisational structures, roles and responsibilities. Also to look at whether there is any overlap within our communities. 

2. There were two FOIWG meetings but I was only able to make one of them. The focus of the first meeting (on Feb 6, below) was the discussion of ALAC's feedback to their Revocation Report.  Very briefly, they believed that most of  ALAC's queries were outside of the brief of the working group because we tended to ask about issues relating to the way that  IANA operates which is not this WG's function .. 

Maureen

ccNSO Liaison Report to ALAC - FOIWG Meeting Feb 6

Of particular interest to the ALAC was the discussion about the ALAC statement on the Revocation report

The WG acknowledged the ALAC's positive response to  the report. There were four areas that were highlighted for discussion by the WG.

  1. ALAC's suggestion for the FOIWG to  clarify  the type of "independent body" (in 4.3.7.3.) that would qualify for the appeals  process in the case of revocation 
    1. The WG understands this to be an implementation-operational detail that should be dealt with in accordance with national laws, involving local stakeholders and the rights expressed within the existing ccTLD Registry (refer 2.2.1), and therefore beyond the scope of the WG.
  2. ALAC's request that IANA maintain reports on cases of re-delegation etc .
    1. Any IANA functions  contract implementation  issues or procedures relating to  this  contract, are also outside of the scope of the WG (refer Section A. Introduction and Objective)
  3. The reference in the ALAC Statement recommending factoring the GAC Principles  into guidelines relating to situations relating to revocation where the IANA operator is required to work with local governments to ensure that the ccTLD continues to operate efficiently,  until a replacement manager takes over. 
    1. Although GAC principles are not binding on managers, the FOIWG executive is looking into further clarification of this area.
  4. ALAC noted concern about whether the IANA operator is empowered to act where there is a case for revocation from a local government, backed by local law, but where there are no operational or behavioural issues on the part of the incumbent ccTLD operator. 
    1. This scenario is beyond the scope of the WG. This is an internal issue and there is no policy statement in RFC1591 relating to this situation, RFC 1591 states " the IANA tries to have any contending parties reach agreement among themselves, and generally takes no action to change things unless all the contending parties agree; only in cases where the designated manager has substantially misbehave would the IANA step in." (refer to 2.1.1)

 5) Final Report joint ccNSO-GNSO IDN Working group

 Background (presented by Young Eum)

 The JIG (Joint ccNSO/GNSO IDN Working Group) was formed by mutual charters between the ccNSO and GNSO councils, and extended (ccNSO: http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/minutes-council-23aug11-en.pdf | GNSO: http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#201107) to complete its work on the 3 identified issues of common interest between the ccNSO and GNSO.

 One of those issues concerns Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs. The JIG published its Draft Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs for public comment which closed on 16 August 2013, http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/idn-tld-acceptance-final-25jun13-en.htm). The JIG reviewed the comments received and finalized its report accordingly. The JIG submitted its Final Report to the GNSO Council on 17 November, http://ccnso.icann.org/announcements/announcement-18nov13-en.htm.

 Draft resolution: (passed)

 The ccNSO Council adopts the JIG Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs and its recommendations and will submit it to the ICANN Board for its consideration.

 The ccNSO Council thanks the JIG for its work, with special thanks to Jothan Frakes for his contributions in proactively reaching beyond the ICANN community to address issues identified in the report.

 The ccNSO Council recognizes that further work needs to be done in relation to IDNs, in particular IDN variants and universal acceptance of IDNs and asks the JIG to put forward suggestions on how to deal with these issues and deliver these suggestions to the ccNSO Council by the ICANN Singapore Meetings in March 2014.

 The ccNSO Council requests its chair to inform the chair of the GNSO of the decision of the ccNSO, and the co-chairs of the JIG accordingly, and submit the report to the Board of Directors of ICANN together with the chair of the GNSO, when the report of the JIG is adopted by the GNSO.

 6) Final Report joint DNS stability and security analysis working group

 Background (presented by Byron)

 The joint DNS Security and Stability Analysis working group was established by the participating Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees ALAC, ccNSO, GNSO and NRO to better understand the security and stability of the global domain name system (DNS) in 2011.

 In October 2011 the ICANN Board of Directors established the Board DNS Risk Management Framework Working Group (DNS RMF WG), with the objective to oversee the development of a risk management framework and system for the DNS as it pertains to ICANN's role as defined in the ICANN Bylaws.

 At the time the DSSA published its draft Report Phase 1 (August 2012), the DSSA went into hibernation to avoid overlap with the work of the Board DNS RMF and noted and informed the participating SO’s and AC’s that in order to reflect the changed environment and working method, the charter of the DSSA would need to be updated to reflect these changes.

 The co-chairs of the DSSA WG have send a letter to the chairs of each of the participating stakeholder organizations to submit the Final Report and the work products contained in it (available at: http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/dssa-final-08nov13-en.pdf) .  The DSSA recommends the acceptance of the Final Report and further recommends that the Final Report be disseminated to the ccTLD’s for their consideration. 

 Upon adoption of the Final report of the DSSA, and notification of adoption to the co-chairs of the DSSA, the working group will be closed.

 Draft resolution (passed)

 The ccNSO Council adopts the Report submitted by the co-chairs of the DSSA WG, as the Final Report of the DSSA WG in accordance with section 2.4 of its charter.

 The chair of the ccNSO is requested to inform the co-chairs of the DSSA WG of adoption of the Report by the ccNSO Council.

 The chair of ccNSO is also requested to inform the chairs of the other participating SO’s and Ac’s (ALAC, GNSO and NRO).

 Finally, the ccNSO Council thanks and congratulates all, and in particular the co-chairs of the WG: Olivier Crepin-LeBlond ( ALAC), Joerg Schweiger (.DE, ccNSO), Mikey O’ Connor (GNSO), James Galvin ( SSAC) and Mark Koster (NRO) and all volunteers and staff who helped with this effort.

 7) Final Report Finance working group

 Background (Byron heads this group - they've held  13 working meetings plus ICANNmeetings - robust discussion right to the end to achieve best available solution. The have posted the final report with a resolution. Byron acknowledged the work of the WG)

 The ccNSO Finance WG was established in October 2010 with a mandate that included:

 “a. to discuss with ICANN (i.) the amounts attributed to ccTLDs and (ii) the underlying attribution method(s) to attempt to establish which of those amounts and method(s) are reasonable and may be acceptable to the ccTLD community

 b. to discuss with ICANN a methodology for individual ccTLDs to use to calculate a fair and equitable voluntary financial contribution to ICANN and propose such a methodology to the ccTLD community 

 After a long and intense consultation process of the community the WG and others the WG, finalized its report during the ccNSO meeting in Buenos Aires meeting (November 2013).

 The chair of the Finance WG submitted the Final Report of the WG to the Council recommending that the ccNSO Council adopts the proposed Guideline to replace the March 2007 Guideline on Financial contributions. (http://ccnso.icann.org/announcements/announcement-09mar07.htm)

 The chair of the ccNSO received a letter from ICANN’s CEO and President expressing his support for the emerging outcome of the discussion on the financial contribution from the ccTLD community to ICANN, and his acceptance of the “ value exchange model” and the associated overall level of the financial contribution and the voluntary nature of the contributions(http://ccnso.icann.org/announcements/announcement-20nov13-en.htm ).

 Draft Resolution

  The ccNSO Council notes and welcomes the exemplary, long and intensive consultation efforts and process the Finance WG went through, to gather input and feed-back from the community.

  The ccNSO Council notes and welcomes the letter from ICANN’s CEO and President on the overall level of the financial contribution and the voluntary nature of the contributions.

  The ccNSO Council adopts the proposed November 2013 Guideline for Voluntary Contributions of ccTLDs to ICANN, and request the chair of the ccNSO to inform the CEO and President of ICANN accordingly, once the Guideline becomes effective.

  The ccNSO Council requests staff to publish this resolution as soon as possible after closure this ccNSO Council meeting.

In accordance to the rules of the ccNSO (http://ccnso.icann.org/about/ccnso-rules-dec04-en.pdf) , the November 2013 Guideline will become effective seven days after publication of the decision by the Council.

 Finally, the ccNSO Council wholeheartedly thanks and congratulates all who participated in the process and in particular the chair of the Finance WG (Byron Holland, .CA) and the members of the Finance WG, and Xavier Calvez (CFO ICANN) and other staff, and all members of the community who were involved in this long and sometimes challenging effort.

 9) Next steps to identify potential issues and propose next steps pertaining to cross-community capacity building

 Working group reports

a) FOIWG - Keith DavidsonFollowup will be the glossary 

 Topics for interpretation

  •  Consent - for delegation and redelegation requests ( final report complete)
  •  Significantly interested parties (SIP) public consultation completed
  •  Revocation - is currently with public consultation process
  • Comprehensive gloassary (in progress)
  • Recommendations for IANA reports on del and redel (the WG will begin this work after completing the FOI)

Activities since Durban

Published progress report on activities - met on teleconferences 5 x

Details on Revocation

 RFC 1591 identifies three mechanism available to the IANA operation: delegation, transfer and revocation

 Under RFC1591, a transfer requires the consent of the incumbent ccTLD manager

 Revocation refers to the process by which the IANA operator rescinds  responsibility for management of a  cctLD from a manager.

 If a manager does not consent to a proposed Transfer, the only mechanism available to the IANA Operator is to deal with the situation is revocation. 

Revocation does not mean the removal of the ccTLD from the root - the issue is with the management of the ccTLD

Assessing how the ccTLD has carried out the necessary responsibilities, judging the extent of the requirements having been met or not met, might have to be done locally rather than by the IANA Operator who won't have the regular knowledge of this performance.

Substantial misbehaviour - given in detail in the document - it is in public consultation - generally it requires a degree of seriousness, magnitude and persistence.. And compromises the security of the ccTLD.

RFC1591 refers to community support as well - loss of community support is included as an appropriate complaint

b) Country Names Study Group - Paul Szyndler

3 recommendations made

  • Cross community working group - to look further into the study
  • WG will provide advice of a uniform definition of the framework for all respective SOs or Acs..
  • The WG will provide detailed advice as to what the content will be

 

November 20, 2013. Country reports

 Recent Developments of Governmental Movements in Japan – TBC 

The Japanese government recently decided to set up an expert committee to create a mechanism for oversight of the management of DNS, including the registry operation, in Japan. The presentation will brief its background and how such mechanism is expected to be. 

Current Status and Plans of the registry NIC.VE – Jesus Rivera, .ve 

Current status of the registry regarding the functional structure of the nic.ve (organization chart), explanation of the process of Domain Names Registration; Legal framework; relevant cases and procedures for conflict resolution through WIPO; NIC.VE numbers, Statistical Data (Indicators); Some considerations and updates on modernization projects. 

EURid co-Funded Marketing Programme Update – Giovanni Seppia, .eu 

The Co-funded Marketing Programme has been available to .eu accredited registrars since 28 April 2009. The first evaluation of the Programme took place in mid-2010, upon request of the European Commission. However, at that stage, only a limited number of campaigns had been carried out under the scheme and it was difficult, therefore, to properly assess the value of the Programme for .eu accredited registrars and its impact on .eu registration volumes and awareness of the domain. Over the course of 2010 and 2011, the Programme has taken off considerably. An overview of the campaigns conducted shows that the number of proposals submitted has risen steadily since 2009 to reach 90 proposals so far in 2013. Under the Co-funded Marketing Programme, EURid contributes to the costs of a registrar¹s .eu marketing campaign that meets specific conditions. The Programme has been recently awarded the CENTR Awards for Marketing and Communication.

Summaries of the comments of some of the speakers. 

Sebastian - ISOC - esp re Latin America and Africa - very coordinated

Baher - explained that capacity building is not as coordinated in the Middle East - Not just technical but aso policy related. Howeever, Technical is significant. Collaborate with other I* organisations = responding to the needs of local areas. Train the trainer and similar models are seen as a way to drive things forward and incorporated into development plans.

Paul Wilson - has coordinated the activities of all the RIRs - these are the bodies related to the distribution of IP addresses - work with ISPs - there is a diversity of priorities that come from guidance from our members - based on the relationship with the ISPs. APNIC's founding docs contain a mission to facilitate education around the region - share that mission with RipeNIC and LACNIC - collectively across the RIRs re involved in the training in variousforms - each of the RIRs has two meetings a year and those mtgs serve members and community - org specific content - conference oriented towards professional practices and challenges - do these in collaboration with TLDs, ICANN, RIRs, and NOGs who organise at a regional level cos they are the channels to the ISPs and the source of demand about growth and development within the industry. The mission is to bring this realtime ifnormation into the system.- capacity building in internet infrastructure across the region - technical capacity can make a lot of difference to achieveing an efficient infrastructure within a country within a developing market (professional abiility to lose technical skills to other areas).. The need for capacity building is a definite need in developing countries especially.

Specific information on ALSes and ccNSO members bridging both worlds.

The list below is build upon the actual list of accredited ALSes and the relation to the region and country.
In the last column you will find, if the ccTLD is a member of ccNSO, the ccTLD extension of the country code and a direct link to the website of that specific ccTLD.

Through this list the existing ALSes can find out if in their country or region their is a ccNSO member and eventually could stimulate them to be part of the ccNSO. Same of course could happen from the ccTLD side, where they could do some promotional work in finding new ALSes joining the ALAC.

List of all ALSes and the presence in the ccNSO memberspace updated till October 2009.

The ccNSO has actually 107 members. (updated 27/9/2010).
