  ccNSO Members Meeting: ccNSO Governance Session
Tuesday, 23 March 2021 (15:30-17:00 UTC)

  Register to attend [3]. Participation Links will be published 24 hours
before the session starts. For more information on how to participate,
visit: https://70.schedule.icann.org/participation-tools [9]

  Session Chair: Chris Disspain

  The ccNSO has evolved since its creation in 2003. Its membership has
grown from slightly over 40 members to 172 members, and while the ccNSO
started as a Supporting Organization with a limited scope and mandate,
it is now one of the five Decisional Participants in the Empowered
Community.  Moreover, the internal rules [10] of the ccNSO have not been
updated since their adoption in 2004. They no longer reflect the evolved
roles and responsibilities of the ccNSO Council and ccNSO membership.
The goal of this session is to review (and update if needed) the
governance structure of the ccNSO.  The focus of these discussions will
be on ccNSO decision-making processes, roles, and interaction between
the ccNSO Council and ccNSO Members. The results of the session will
provide the basis for further work on these topics by the ccNSO Council
and the ccNSO Guidelines Review Committee (GRC).

  Session Chair: Sean Copeland (.vi), Moderator: Biyi Oladipo (.ng)

  ccTLD stakeholders expect their ccTLDs to be resilient and
future-proof. The keynote address by Olaf Kolkman (ISOC) in part 1 of
this session will explore the properties needed to protect and enhance
the future of the Internet. ccTLDs from various regions will look to the
future: What do they see as major developments and how do they address
them? Listen to presentations by Roelof Meijer (.nl), Anil Kumar Jain
(.in) and Frederico Neves (.br). During the second part of the session,
the audience and panelists are invited to share their views on making
ccTLDs future-proof.
