Hi all,

It’s great that so many of you can attend the call next week!

To ensure that the call is as effective as possible, I would like to reiterate the importance of having a topic ‘lead’(s) for each section. There is a particularly large number of documents that we are being asked to review in a short period of time, and we will need all hands on deck to review it all. A big thank you to those who have already signed-up!

Ahead of the call, if those who have not yet done so could please sign-up here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TlLFixlDM_JrAsEx5sfAnxGc9XDIo43CpudzXCYhJCY/edit?tab=t.0#bookmark=id.6s8i8augrcpk> for at least 1x topic that would be greatly appreciated! This means you will:

  1.  Read the section(s)
  2.  Review NCSG position(s) on the topic(s) (a list of NCSG’s previous contributions can be found here<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/gnsononcomstake/pages/116557601/Public+Comments>)
  3.  Review the latest decision(s) by the ICANN board on your section(s) (I have attached the document compiling the latest updates; additional resources can be found here<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPIR/pages/112197947/Resources>)
  4.  Be responsible for adding in a few bullet points of feedback in the doc

This is just to get the ball rolling and to set us up for the group discussion next week!

Feedback could mean:

  *   identifying areas where the language is unclear, with a suggestion of how to make this easier to understand
  *   where there’s information missing, grammatical or spelling errors
  *   noting where something does not align with NCSG’s position
  *   noting where something does not align with the most recent Board decision (where applicable)

Topics that are still missing a lead (or leads) are listed below:

  *   Material Impact (related to Topic 2<https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/policy-development/material-impact-related-to-topic-2-14-02-2025-en.pdf>: Predictability)
  *   Application Questions<https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/policy-development/application-questions-14-02-2025-en.pdf>
  *   Topic 15<https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/policy-development/topic-15-application-fees-14-02-2025-en.pdf>: Application Fees
  *   Topic 18<https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/policy-development/topic-18-terms-and-conditions-14-02-2025-en.pdf>: Terms and Conditions
  *   Order of Application Processing and the Prioritization Draw (related to Topic 19<https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/policy-development/order-of-application-processing-and-the-prioritization-draw-14-02-2025-en.pdf>: Application Queuing)
  *   Topic 20:<https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/policy-development/topic-20-application-change-requests-14-02-2025-en.pdf> Application Change Requests
  *   Topic 27<https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/policy-development/topic-27-registry-service-provider-selection-14-02-2025-en.pdf>: Applicant Reviews: Technical/Operational
     *   Registry Service Provider Selection<https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/policy-development/topic-27-registry-service-provider-selection-14-02-2025-en.pdf>
  *   Code of Conduct Exemption Evaluation (Specification 9<https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/policy-development/code-of-conduct-exemption-evaluation-spec-9-14-02-2025-en.pdf>)

We have several experts in this mailing list who I’m sure would be happy to answer any questions – please don’t hesitate to use this thread or the larger mailing list to ask, and/or to leave comments directly on the doc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TlLFixlDM_JrAsEx5sfAnxGc9XDIo43CpudzXCYhJCY/edit?usp=sharing>.

Looking forward to speaking with you all next week!

Dear all,

Per the doodle<https://doodle.com/meeting/organize/id/aOLOMPEb>, it seems like this is the best time for everyone. I am sharing the calendar event with the broader mailing list in case others are available and would like to join. The meeting will take place on Microsoft Teams.

Looking forward to speaking with as many of you as possible next week! In the meantime, please see here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TlLFixlDM_JrAsEx5sfAnxGc9XDIo43CpudzXCYhJCY/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.exzv2lfyrwqe> to access the draft contribution document. If those who plan to contribute can please sign-up for a topic (put their name in the doc) and add some initial bullet points ahead of our meeting that would be greatly appreciated!

I will share an agenda closer to the meeting date. Any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, Pedro or Kathy.

Best,

Michaela
