DEADLINE IN ONE WEEK: Preparations for ICANN66 Constituency Day
From: Cherine Chalaby, ICANN Board Chair

FOR: All Community Leaders

ACTION ITEM
Dear Constituency and Stakeholder Group Chairs,

Please reply no later than Monday, 14 October 2019

The Board and I are very much looking forward to engaging with you during
our 21st AGM that will take place in Montréal between 2-7 November 2019.

We wish to keep working on improving our interaction with you and, in
particular, we want to address some of the requests and feedback we have
received and introduce some more flexibility in the format of our valuable
face-to-face meetings.

Starting in Montréal, instead of sending up to three questions to the
Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a
single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic.

We are also suggesting that the list of questions or topics received be
shared with the entire Community using the Policy digest, in order to
increase transparency and allow the groups to improve their own
understanding of their peers’ point of views on different issues.

As for time allocation, we propose to allocate half of our time together to
answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to
address the Board’s topic.

In preparation for our meetings, the Board chose the following topic to
have an open discussion with you:

“Community, Board and ICANN org readiness to implement the following three
critical plans that will shape ICANN’s future: (1) Strategic Plan FY 21-25,
(2) Operating & Financial Plan FY 21-25, and (3) Work Plan to improve the
effectiveness of ICANN’s multistakeholder model.”

The Strategic Plan
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001e2bzC2yluvJVWhOiME8XRd8pKQDtEr7wg4FLUcdO0LoJGhordk_XptPBl0SJAIM-QM53N4Vc_ejYPYR7f1QsrmZd9pL_gtfA4ce9v2lUYtDye2zBddED-LWVYdaIDkNokrQd0d-asJecqHU4_QazQZPfkQ5904y6ZDw2Zpyytib7qmM-ZOl06urXYaMuJmlqX7TGhX00zajvzQILgmwsJgz8oJgi_JwUd213V4fTEcs=&c=qU_4ymCfdj5hqwSv4rCMEiePySBPd-crBFFPm703iNm_6EYCWJ4sRw==&ch=epPAi0YDB_8rdfmzJ_x8wFySh2mE6tsvqz-PrGlMaBYWRgbIFtpDpQ==>
has
been adopted by the Board last June at ICANN65 in Marrakech. The two other
plans will be completed and posted for public comment in December 2019.

At ICANN64 in Kobe, the Board asked each constituency to provide three
suggestions, one for the Board, one for ICANN org and one for the Community of
things/aspects that should be done/improved in order to
implement these plans successfully, starting 1 July 2020, as mandated by
our Bylaws. In addition, the Board asked for one suggestion of something
that could be done externally to improve trust and with our partners
and alliances (eg. IETF) so that they collaborate effectively with ICANN on
some of our strategic objectives (eg. DNS security).

Based on the input received in Kobe, we are compiling a list of suggested
actions for the community, Board and ICANN org which we would like to share
and discuss with you in Montreal. We will send you that list in advance of
our meeting in Montréal on or before Friday, 11 October 2019.

We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations (
board-ops-team at icann.org) your single topic or the list of questions (max.
3), in order of priority, no later than Monday, 14 October 2019 or sooner.

For information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per
group nor the room set-up.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts on our suggestions and on how to
improve our interaction further.

We thank you in advance for your time on this matter and we look forward to
welcoming you in Canada!

Best regards,
Cherine Chalaby

NEW: CSC Findings on PTI Performance for August 2019
From: Lars-Johan Liman, CSC Interim Chair

FOR: All Community Leaders

INFORMATION SHARING
As interim chair of the Customer Standing Committee, I am providing you
with our monthly findings on the performance of Public Technical
Identifiers (PTI) over August 2019. I am pleased to inform you that the CSC
has concluded that PTI’s overall performance over August 2019 was
“Satisfactory” - PTI met the service level agreement at 98.4% for the month
of August 2019. The missed service level agreement was satisfactorily
explained and not an indication of a performance issue. The related PTI
report to the CSC, listing the individual service level metrics along with
their actual and historical performance, can be found here
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001e2bzC2yluvJVWhOiME8XRd8pKQDtEr7wg4FLUcdO0LoJGhordk_XpmgBj5p0vHKVnd7taBMb6dslEEUIbOZ90GbgokxPFrH05CoqXQ2lvu6SxZaWBsqe3dD6oddcRVk1lXPenX-xZ_-pVUzvm1lJd1b3Y8aV82X_-jCiThVbnAc=&c=qU_4ymCfdj5hqwSv4rCMEiePySBPd-crBFFPm703iNm_6EYCWJ4sRw==&ch=epPAi0YDB_8rdfmzJ_x8wFySh2mE6tsvqz-PrGlMaBYWRgbIFtpDpQ==>
.

I am also very pleased to inform you that:

   1. In accordance with the Service Level Agreement (SLA) change
   procedure, the CSC will request the Country Code Names Supporting
   Organization (ccNSO) and Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO)
   Councils to approve to the introduction of this SLA.
   2. The second SLA listed in the CSC Findings report, "ccTLD
   Creation/Transfer – Validation and Reviews: SLA Amendments," was approved
   by the CSC, and PTI will shortly open a Public Comment proceeding to seek
   your input and comments.

Both SLA changes are explained in more detail in the CSC Findings Report
for August 2019.

At its latest meeting, the CSC also decided to amend its internal
procedures to deal with the special circumstance that one or more of the
seats on the CSC for a member appointed by the direct customers (ccNSO and
Registries Stakeholder Group) is vacant. If such an extraordinary
circumstance occurs, the CSC will continue its basic business of monitoring
the PTI performance and limit its decision making to approval of the CSC
Findings Report until there is no more vacancy.

As our previous chair, Byron Holland, has stepped down from the CSC per 1
October 2019, I would like to thank him for his outstanding leadership
during the creation of the CSC and through its first years. I would also
like to thank Elaine Pruis for her valuable time on the CSC, as she too now
steps down. In the current situation, with two vacant member seats, I have
humbly accepted the trust from the CSC to act as interim chair for the
group up and until the full membership of the CSC (members and liaisons)
have been approved by the ccNSO and GNSO Councils and the new membership
has appointed a new chair and vice chair.

BACKGROUND
Generally, the CSC regular meeting is scheduled on or around the 15th every
month, and the CSC findings report on the PTI performance is sent out
shortly after that meeting. If you would like to be informed of upcoming
meetings or receive CSC reports directly, you may want to subscribe to

NEW: 2020 Leadership Program
From: Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement

FOR: All Community Leaders

INFORMATION SHARING
>From Wednesday, 2 October to Friday, 15 November 2019, ICANN has issued a
call for nominations for the 2020 Leadership Program, scheduled for 5–6
March in Cancún, Mexico, just prior to ICANN67.

The Leadership Program helps current and incoming leaders better understand
the complexities of ICANN, while also helping to develop the facilitation
skills of participants. Understanding ICANN as an organization, the topics
discussed within ICANN, and the interaction within other stakeholder groups
can be challenging for incoming leaders, but sometimes also for experienced
leaders. ICANN org and the community are making considerable efforts to
help incoming leaders have a good start to their terms and to provide
current leaders the opportunity to strengthen their leadership and
facilitation skills.

Opportunities for Leadership Program participants include the following:

   - Meet leaders from the other Supporting Organizations/Advisory
   Committees and get an insight of the functionality and issues in other
   groups
   - Discuss current ICANN topics in an in-depth manner
   - Deepen the understanding of key ICANN processes
   - Develop facilitation and leadership skills, focused personal
   effectiveness to run meetings and foster processes


Interested individuals need to be endorsed by their Supporting
Organization, Advisory Committee, or stakeholder group.

by Friday, 15 November 2019, 23:59 UTC. The Leadership Program does not
provide financial support for travel to Cancún but does cover
accommodations and offer a stipend for the days a participant is involved
in the program.
REMINDER: Invitation to Provide Feedback on the ICANN Board’s Proposed
Public Interest Framework
Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder
Engagement

FOR: All Community Leaders

INFORMATION SHARING
>From 18 September – 18 October 2019, a community consultation is taking
place on the global public interest framework proposed by the ICANN Board.
In reviewing the proposal, the ICANN Board is asking the ICANN community to
consider the following questions for input to the ICANN Board:

   1. What are your thoughts on the proposed framework approach? Do you
   have any suggestions for how it could be improved?
   2. What are your thoughts on the proposed approach for decisions in the
   ICANN ecosystem to be accompanied by a consideration of their impact on the
   global public interest (as well as an explanation regarding what is meant
   by the GPI in the specific case)?
   3. How do you see this working for the Supporting Organization (SO),
   Advisory Committee (AC), constituency, group, review team, or
   cross-community working group (CCWG) to which you are contributing?


The global public interest is central to many of ICANN’s primary governance
documents, and the ICANN Board hopes to play a role in facilitating a
bottom-up, community-driven process to develop a framework as a toolkit for
the ICANN community to consider the global public interest. These
considerations would not change the process by which decisions are made but
could instead serve as tools for the community to reinforce the commitment
to the public interest and to demonstrate how specific recommendations,
advice, and public comments are in the global public interest. This
includes the ICANN community guiding the ICANN Board about the public
interest determination the latter must make in its decisions.

To learn more about the framework, please read the discussion paper
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001e2bzC2yluvJVWhOiME8XRd8pKQDtEr7wg4FLUcdO0LoJGhordk_XphC4kW6ozXFc850LHmMXTrVdNSX5zFACncLrE34tzFwKEB7UIiSzvtzX7YreEn-7EZCG6LWCMeKYoTOJHi46oLP6QNrsyCc6OuJtHmHOFLbjD09hLx2HnxN1R7JhZddVBFBoIgeS-6P73Llw0xTdp9RTZPFOGEYSvBkmcjiPjHdPEbpqtZjlNxtzaE20R2e2lWTDeKJQpeNpLqoqcePssX-8X_3MVAjXuA==&c=qU_4ymCfdj5hqwSv4rCMEiePySBPd-crBFFPm703iNm_6EYCWJ4sRw==&ch=epPAi0YDB_8rdfmzJ_x8wFySh2mE6tsvqz-PrGlMaBYWRgbIFtpDpQ==>.
Community feedback is welcome by Friday, 18 October 2019 via email at
gpitoolkit at icann.org. After the community consultation, there will be a
public session at ICANN66, followed by a Public Comment proceeding.

Public Comment
NEW: Public Comment Guidelines for ICANN org
Executive: David Olive, Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support

FOR: All Community Leaders

INFORMATION SHARING
Public Comment is a mechanism that gives the ICANN community and other
stakeholders an opportunity to provide input and feedback on ICANN’s work.
It ensures ICANN and its community “operate to the maximum extent feasible
in an open and transparent manner and consistent with procedures designed
to ensure fairness” per the ICANN Bylaws.

ICANN org recently adopted internal guidelines for Public Comment. The
internal guidelines clarify the purpose of Public Comment and define when
Public Comment is necessary. In particular, I would like to highlight three
points from the internal guidelines:


   1. Public Comment is the default mechanism when seeking feedback from
   the ICANN community or general public.
   2. There could be circumstances where an alternative to Public Comment
   may be more appropriate. Alternative mechanisms include consultations or
   surveys for more targeted audiences. ICANN org executive team members will
   need to approve these alternatives to Public Comment.
   3. Announcements, blog posts, social media campaigns, regional
   newsletters, and mailing lists will not be used as mechanisms for
   collecting feedback.


ICANN org supports the work of the community by managing Public Comment as
a consistent feedback mechanism. We hope the internal guidelines contribute
to the accountability and transparency commitments of ICANN org.

This is also a good opportunity to remind you about the Upcoming Public
Comment Proceedings webpage
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001e2bzC2yluvJVWhOiME8XRd8pKQDtEr7wg4FLUcdO0LoJGhordk_XpvA6Fc1KyDWahUaNmhpDPCyCw5ljr9grnuejttlJFHokOljVHiqFaCKU0cPAONPXVzMuEnduiYxFuam171HSa5kYjOPF9X403AfYHrs_lW7nJrD2Kfky1yOSPCJHRAitRbgZK7jmMqW664fx5E-pfrA=&c=qU_4ymCfdj5hqwSv4rCMEiePySBPd-crBFFPm703iNm_6EYCWJ4sRw==&ch=epPAi0YDB_8rdfmzJ_x8wFySh2mE6tsvqz-PrGlMaBYWRgbIFtpDpQ==>.
The Public Comment team updates this webpage on a monthly basis. Moreover,
the Public Comment team publishes an annual report of Public Comment
trends. I encourage you to read the findings from the last nine years
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001e2bzC2yluvJVWhOiME8XRd8pKQDtEr7wg4FLUcdO0LoJGhordk_XporNjNm12mA3cfzOUHhW29czxxyDxVQ_c-k5kmIgu1RnzwlG9sbIiiady53Joq5BZetOHzcnWZqr_42Ip9R1lieOxlkqZmCr4N_Tj-yg0oTzw7iEfvx-RlP0S8gQsnm_pZujAtj-oJ9Zzbs5Hp4CXZ0uQtKCslfzDg==&c=qU_4ymCfdj5hqwSv4rCMEiePySBPd-crBFFPm703iNm_6EYCWJ4sRw==&ch=epPAi0YDB_8rdfmzJ_x8wFySh2mE6tsvqz-PrGlMaBYWRgbIFtpDpQ==>
.

As ICANN evolves, the Public Comment process will adapt as well. The Public
