With a master's degree in computer science and technology, Alejandra joined
.gt country code top-level domain (ccTLD) in 2011, which is located in her
alma mater Universidad del Valle de Guatemala. As a researcher and
technology developer, Alejandra is responsible for all technical aspects
and information systems of the .gt registry. Her native language is
Spanish, and she is fluent in English and Portuguese. In 2011, Alejandra
began her journey at ICANN as a Fellow at ICANN41 in Singapore. She then
joined the ccNSO, was a working group member, and later a chair of the
meeting programme working group. In 2015, the Latin American and Caribbean
members elected Alejandra as a ccNSO Councillor and since ICANN64, she was
one of the two ccNSO Council Vice Chairs. During ICANN70, the ccNSO Council
appointed Alejandra as Chair.
Status update ccNSO Policy Development
ccPDP4
(de)selection IDN ccTLD Strings

The ccPDP4 Working Group is advancing the process for the selection of
Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) ccTLD strings. The results of this
ccPDP will eventually replace the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process. The working
group has made considerable progress and intends to seek feedback and input
from the broader community during the upcoming ICANN71 Policy Forum.

ccPDP3
Retirement

Following closure of the Public Comment proceeding on the Initial Report,
the proposed policy for ccPDP3 on the retirement of country code top-level
domains will now go into the decision-making phase. First it will be
presented to the ccNSO Council for voting and then, if supported by the
ccNSO Council, to the ccNSO members. The ccTLD and broader communities will
have an opportunity to learn more about the proposals before voting begins.
ccPDP3
Review Mechanisms

The ccPDP3-RM Working Group, which develops a review mechanism for
decisions regarding the delegation, transfer, revocation, and retirement of
ccTLDs, has presented its results to date in a community webinar
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Bv10hIWVAC_v5EU1aNeDI0p4LgiMcO2K81ydmJyS_3WAYJ6kmU7HWGUzq4ABkpK141jz9ty2rOfXj1Kh0coJ2p_gR8HC7upfrUJYbllJ6YcC7F48SAIDMdcZY51iKQcNuadmIIF52xtw0ZYxNcukcw7h9uISRGcaImYRpv3oW9T__IHEiT5gbWiYSLpqgE89yONpuYOo3Ic=&c=e8Sx06RcCIKdcYJo3WOKKYogWkfTWD_046v28J8c_QrfWVtjvvZqYQ==&ch=CD4GxdU_Vl2-ayS3EIcNbK4eq1iRRsp6kNmZAvk9lzOPnFNnuoIWtw==&jrc=1>
.
To date the working group has identified which decisions should be subject
to a review and explored the requirements for the review mechanism. In the
near future, it will take a deep-dive into the various requirements and
related topics.

On 15 April, the ccNSO organised 2 editions of a webinar on ccPDP3 and
ccPDP4. Main target audience was the broader ccTLD community and GAC. The
webinar was well attended, and provided insights on the current status for
both policy development efforts, as well as information about the
applicability of the policy to ccTLD managers and others. Consult the
recordings here

ccNSO Council highlights
Welcome to the New ccNSO Council Leadership Team!
The ICANN70 Community Forum marked a time of transition for the ccNSO
Council with the departure of five outgoing councilors, including the chair
of the ccNSO, and the arrival of five newly-appointed councilors. At
ICANN70 the 3-year term of Abdalla Omari, Young Eum Lee, Katrina Sataki,
Margarita Valdes and Byron Holland ended, whereas Hadji Mmadi Ali, Jiankang
Yao, Irina Danelia, Jenifer Lopez and Sean Copeland took their seats.
At its meeting on 25 March, the ccNSO Council appointed Alejandra Reynoso
(.gt) as Chair and Jordan Carter (.nz) and Pablo Rodriguez (.pr) as Vice
Chairs of the ccNSO Council, with ICANN70 signaling the start of the
one-year term which ends at the conclusion of ICANN73.


The ccNSO Council had its 172th meeting on 22 April 2021 | 12 UTC. All
Council meetings are open to observers. This was the first Council meeting
with the new ccNSO Council leadership team. Five new councilors, elected by
the ccNSO members from their respective regions, started their first term
as well.



Highlights from the 22 April Council meeting:


   - Clarification regarding the focus points of the Council leadership
   team:
   - Pablo Rodriguez: outreach and engagement related aspects
   - Jordan Carter: priorities and work flow
   - Alejandra Reynoso: the role of the ccNSO as Decisional Participant
   - Pablo Rodriguez was appointed as Chair of the Outreach and Involvement
   Standing Committee (OISC)
   - Overview of the roles and responsibilities for the ccNSO Council, and
   overview of the ccNSO’s external appointments. Council is expected to take
   an online decision on the proposed overviews.
   - Following the March 2021 ccNSO Council Workshop on the effectiveness
   and efficiency of the ccNSO Council, 8 actions were proposed. Councillors
   evaluated their level of impact and the expected level of effort in a
   breakout session. A decision regarding the implementation of the proposals
   is expected to be taken online.
   - Alejandra informed the ccNSO Council she will step down from the
   Customer Standing Committee (CSC). A call for volunteers will be launched
   shortly. Alejandra will continue to serve on the CSC until a replacement
   has been identified.


Council meetings are open to observers. Contact the Secretariat
<ccnsosecretariat at icann.org> for participation details. The next ccNSO
Council meeting is scheduled for 27 May 2021 (18 UTC).
