[NCSG-PC] Public Comment : CSC Charter Review

[Farell FOLLY]

Dear all,

On April 11th, a call for a Public Comment was announced so as to collect input on the initial report of the Customer Standing Committee Review Team. 

To quote: 

“The Customer Standing Committee was established as one of the post IANA Transition entities and conducted its first meeting on 6 October 2016. It performs the operational oversight previously performed by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration as it relates to the monitoring of the performance of the IANA naming functions, currently performed by PTI. Its mission is to ensure continued satisfactory performance of the IANA functions for the direct customers of the naming services”

The purpose of the Charter review is to consider whether the Charter is adequate and provides a sound basis for the CSC to perform their responsibilities as envisioned in the development of the IANA Transition Proposal. 

The review team includes representatives of the Registries Stakeholder Group (RySG) and the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO). They reviewed the initial Charter (one year after establishment and as per the Bylaws) and suggest some small changes <https://community.icann.org/display/CRT/Reports?preview=/84213949/84214353/Initial%20Report%20CSC%20Charter%20Review%20Team%20FINAL%20April%202018.docx> to the charter. 

All in all, there is actually nothing substantial to object or to add except endorse and insist that the CSC follows effectively the guidelines included in the Charter. However, one might be tempted to include a representative of the NCSG either in the CSC Committee or in the next review team (as a liaison), but since there should always be a call for a Public Comment for any review, it is, in my opinion, useless.

I therefore suggest a brief comment (see attached link <https://docs.google.com/document/d/18Q0SDh97XsN0m8etdGGhVby1c_vYT3omJTaeymLbfKk/edit>) to acknowledge the call and endorse it.
