As you likely know, his term on the Council will conclude in Montreal and he can no longer serve in this role. If you reviewed any of the past activities from the Project List above, Ayden helped manage each one of them. He should also be considered a foundational member of the SCBO that helped transform this responsibility of the Council from an ad-hoc and reactive nature to one of being proactive and more predictable. We do hope he continues his participation as a SME representing the NCSG.<u></u><u></u></li><li class="m_897212123855624106MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in"><u>For those Council members who remain, is there interest in taking over this role</u>?<u></u><u></u></li><li class="m_897212123855624106MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">The role of Chair is limited only to Council members, so those here whose term will continue in the 2019-2020 session should start to consider if they have available bandwidth and interest to take this on. The most active period is typically from now until March of the following year. For this cycle, the SCBO will likely also assist again with the conclusion of the five year strategic plan (5YSP) in addition to the FY21 budget and operating plan. Therefore, we expect it will be a bit more active than what normally transpired in prior fiscal years. That said, we do have a stronger cadence in reviewing financial and operations materials in preparation of drafts for the GNSO Council. <u></u><u></u></li></ul><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>CCNSO Session with SOPC at ICANN66:<u></u><u></u></b></p><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc"><li class="m_897212123855624106MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">You will recall we had a joint session with the CCNSO’s SOPC back in July 2019 where the primary topic focused more on the 5YSP. This was an attempt to increase collaboration between the two SOs as part of larger mormentum to enhance collaboration on other topics of interest between the two Supporting Organizations.<u></u><u></u></li><li class="m_897212123855624106MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">To continue collaboration in the budget and operations arena, <u>the CCNSO has extended an invitation to the SCBO in Montreal; scheduled for Sunday, 3 Novmeber at 13:30 to 16:16</u>. The first half of their session will engage with ICANN’s Finance team and discussion of their budget and strategic planning efforts. I anticipate it to be a more involved session than what the GNSO Council morning session with ICANN Finance will have time for. Unfortunately though, the SOPC time conflicts with the GNSO Council’s draft agenda for Sunday and the SOPC is aware of this conflict. I have committed to be there for the first half of their session and I’m hopeful that we can find <u>at least one Councilor to also make an appearance</u>. Aspirationaly, that someone would be the new SCBO Chair, if we can find interest in the role quickly enough. SCBO SME’s are also encouraged to attend the SOPC session. Further information can be found on the schedule of the meetings page: <a href="https://66.schedule.icann.org/meetings/1116949" target="_blank">https://66.schedule.icann.org/meetings/1116949</a>.<u></u><u></u></li><li class="m_897212123855624106MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Once topic of discussion is that the <u>SOPC’s charter allows it to appoint a liasion for collaboration of budget and oerations topics with other SO/AC groups</u>. The SCBO should consider this option of continued collaborabion in the near future. An excerpt from the SOPC charter, “<i>The Chair of the SOPC may invite other supporting organisations and advisory committees or constituencies to appoint liaisons (maximum two per SO/AC), in accordance with their own rules and procedures. These liaisons participate on an equal footing in the deliberations and sessions of the SOPC. However, if explicitly requested by the Chair, liaisons shall not participate in the process of seeking out and fostering participation and input from ccTLD managers and providing regular feedback to the ccNSO on the strategic and operational planning processes, nor in preparing a relevant Rejection Action Petition.</i>”<u></u><u></u></li></ul><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Please start to work with your respective leadership groups in preparation for the renewed Call for Volunteers.
