As the chair of the ccNSO Council I would like to thank the chairs and
all the members of our working groups/committees for their time,
knowledge, and contribution to the work of the ccNSO and ICANN
community in general:
PDP Retirement Working Group (Chair: Stephen Deerhake): 24 members, 7
participants, 4 experts and observers. The goal of this WG is to
report on and recommend a policy for the retirement of the delegated
Top Level Domains associated with the country codes assigned to
countries and territories listed in the ISO 3166-1 within the
framework of the ccNSO Policy Development Process.
Strategic and Operational Planning Committee (Chair: Giovanni Seppia):
18 members, 1 observer. The Committee coordinates, facilitates, and
increases the participation of ccTLD managers in ICANN and PTI's
strategic and operational planning processes and related budgetary
processes.
Meeting Programme Standing Committee (Chair: Alejandra Reynoso): 20
members, 2 observers. The objective of the Committee is to coordinate
and manage the high-level schedule of the ccNSO-related sessions,
including the ccNSO Members Meeting agenda at ICANN public meetings,
and related matters.
Technical Working Group (Chair: Eberhard Lisse): 18 members, 3
observers. The purpose of the WG is to provide the ccTLD community
with advice and to share information on the technical and operational
aspects of running a ccTLD.
Guidelines Review Committee (Chair: Katrina Sataki): 13 members. This
Committee reviews the current guidelines and ascertains whether they
reflect current practices and working methods, identify potential
gaps, and based on this analysis propose changes to the current
guidelines to the Council.
TLD-OPS Standing Committee (Chair: Jacques Latour): 7 members, 2
liaisons. This Standing Committee governs the daily operation of the
TLD-OPS email list; and, when deemed necessary, develops and
implements progress plans for future improvements and developments of
the TLD-OPS email list, including its ecosystem.
Study Group on Use of Emoji as Second Level Domains (Chair: Peter
Koch): 13 members, 2 observers. The study group is established to
provide to ccTLD community, the ccNSO Council a comprehensive overview
of the issues associated with the use of Emoji as second level
domains, and the need for and current practice by ccTLD managers to
allow Emoji as second level domains
Also, I would like to thank all the contributors to cross-community
working groups: PDP New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Work Track 5
working group (co-chair Annebeth Lange) and CCWG Auction Proceeds
(co-chair: Ching Chiao); our members on the Security, Stability and
Resiliency of the DNS Review (Alain Aina, Boban Krsic, Žarko Kecić)
and member of ATRT 3 (Demi Getschko); and our members on the CSC
Effectiveness Review (Debbie Monahan, Martin Boyle), CSC (Byron
Holland, chair, and Brett Carr, as well as and Jay Daley whose term
ended this year).



Thanks a lot to our Secretariat – Bart, Joke, Kim, Maria – for all the
support and help. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to achieve all of
the above.



Next year we will concentrate on ICANN’s new Strategic Plan. We will
select and appoint to the ICANN Board a new member who will replace
Chris Disspain in 2020. We will analyse the results from our PDP WG on
retirement and from the work of the IANA Function Review team.



We will continue to discuss guidelines relating to the role of the
ccNSO as a Decisional Participant, and, in addition, the
implementation of the relevant parts of the WS 2 Accountability CCWG
and recommendations of the ccNSO review. New on our agenda will be the
review and update of the overall policy relating to the IDN ccTLDs and
second part of the third PDP to introduce a review mechanism for
decisions on the delegation, transfer, revocation, and retirement of
ccTLDs.



Thank you all for a great 2018! Happy and Productive 2019!



Best wishes,



]{atrina
