Topics to discuss with the ccNSO – Monday, 20 June 12:30-14:00
- ICANN budget. The ccNSO has a working team looking at the ICANN budget and I think it would be very useful for both SOs to share that experience. I have discussed this with Lesley (ccNSO Chair) and she sees value in it as well. The idea is not to start up the old discussion about ccTLD contributions, but instead to benefit from the ccNSO's work on the proposed ICANN budget for the coming FY. The issue being that we are all so swamped with documents and reports that we have no time to look at this all-important budget. The ccNSO's work team can help us identify the key issues.
- ccTLDs becoming registrars. This may not interest everyone and is just a suggestion, but we might want to discuss what ccTLD operators plans are with regards to possibly becoming gTLD registries, as some have already mentioned an interest in running gTLDs as registries (mostly geo TLDs in their regions).
- “Community Working Groups” is also of common interests, and there the ccNSO is interested in hearing from us on what our thoughts are.
- The ccNSO is introducing a work plan to try and streamline its work, and it would be of interest to the GNSO to learn more about what they are doing there.
