The working group finished the review of the public comments received including those from NCSG and made some changes compared to the initial report, in section 3: - amendment in implementation guidance for guidance recommendation #1 - amendment in the guidance recommendation #5 - adding preamble text for guidance recommendations 7, 8, 9 As actions items for the working group, we have : *REPORT REVIEW: Working Group members are requested to review, with their > respective groups, Section 3 of the Final Report and provide suggested > minor edits, if any, in redline/review mode by Monday, 04 December at 18:00 > UTC if possible, but not later than COB Thursday, 07 December.* Note > that minor edits are welcome for the other sections of the report, although > those sections are mostly unchanged from the Initial Report. > > *CONSENSUS CALL: **Working Group members are requested to review, with > their respective groups, the Consensus Designations for each Guidance > Recommendation listed in Annex C and to indicate on the Working Group > list as soon as possible but not later than COB Thursday, 07 December if > your group agrees with the Consensus Designations, or if there are > objections.* Per the GNSO Guidance Process Manual: ?Each recommendation > in the Final Report should be accompanied by the appropriate consensus > level designation (see section 3.6 ? Standard Methodology for Making > Decisions in the GNSO Working Group Guidelines > > ). For the consensus designation, all the 9 recommendations have full support. As the NCSG representative, I think we can support those recommendations with changes made there, since NCSG also expressed support during the public consultations and shared our comments. The last call for the WG will be next Monday 4th December to review the minor edits and discuss questions about the consensus designation. Next step then will be to submit the Report to the GNSO Council with a draft motion on Monday, 11 December to be on time for the next GNSO council meeting. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Best regards, Rafik -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Would you be willing to hold the position for another year, and then we can begin a search?? During that time, perhaps we can train or groom some possible successors?? If member and Councilors could take small parts of the NCSG Policy meeting -e.g., single agenda items to prepare, present, and field questions - perhaps they will grow to feel more comfortable with the larger process (and NCSG will grow to feel more comfortable with them)? You do your job tremendously well!? Tx you!

Regarding the ICANN Board action on the final report of the Cross-Community Working Group on new gTLD auction proceeds where the board has determined that contrary to the CCWG recommendation, a bylaw amendment is not necessary prior to the launch of the ICANN grant program, and instead they could implement the recommendation that ICANN grant applicants would not be afforded these remedies through terms and conditions with the grant applicants. Do we have commitment from the board and executive that the bylaw amendment will be done in parallel to the grant program despite the bylaw amendment not being a dependency for the launch of the grant program?

It is a plan that contains many of the ideas that Tomslin and I wrote up and shared in August/September :-). *Perhaps a nice note of encouragement - thank you to Sally and ICANN Org for excellent work:? a 75 page report of how needy applicants are helped in other types of global systems AND very nice thinking and development of how we can apply these ideas in our own New gTLD application setting.* We support the exploratory structure - and will offer thoughts, changes and improvement through appropriate channels (e.g., Reema and Namra are working on this in the Small Team Plus). /But all of the above is progress - good progress - and thank you!/ /?My two cents. / /Happy Holidays, Kathy / On 12/4/2023 4:59 PM, Tomslin Samme-Nlar wrote: > Hi Julf, > > Some proposed topics: > > 1.

The internal org team has met to discuss all the feedback that you kindly provided on ICANN78 as well as your suggestions for ensuring that the ICANN79 schedule remains as flexible as possible while accommodating a number of different needs and requests. Please find attached an updated ICANN79 block schedule for your use with your staff support teams in planning and scheduling your sessions as well as bilateral meetings and cross-community work sessions for ICANN79. You will see that the major change we made from the version you saw on the kickoff planning call is to shorten the final break of each day of the meeting. Please be assured that we definitely considered going to 2-hour sessions, but that would have created tremendous difficulties for our Meetings, Technical, Language Services and Policy staff support teams (among other challenges). With thanks, therefore, to our Meetings Technical Services colleagues who have confirmed that we can shave 15 minutes off the last daily break, we hope that this will allow those groups that wish to meet for longer than 75 or 90 minutes to schedule accordingly and with minimal disruption. This updated version also lists the org-led sessions for which we have received requests to date. In this regard, ICANN org will continue to rely on Prep Week and other channels and mediums to provide the community with timely updates on key projects of broad community interest, thus minimizing conflicts between org-led and community sessions at an ICANN Public Meeting and ensuring, as much as feasible, that the in-person/hybrid engagements are focused on live interactions on timely topics. Thanks and cheers Mary (on behalf of Nathalie, Kim, Josh, Ted, Tanzanica and the internal org meetings coordination/scheduling team) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Undermining the public interest, undermining fair and balanced policies, and undermining the Multistakeholder Model /must not be allowed in future "commitments." / _A few of the many documents sharing our concerns:_ In the last two NCUC Anniversary Issues Forums, we actively shared concerns and urged ICANN to revisit the issue of PICs and RVCs - and our session at ICANN78 in Hamburg is recorded and available online.
