    1. Consent Agenda:

      Resolved, the following resolutions in this Consent Agenda are approved:

      1. Approval of Board Meeting Minutes

        Resolved (2013.10.23.01), the Board approves the minutes of the 28 September 2013 Meeting of the ICANN Board.

      2. Appointment of Xiaodong Lee and Carlos Martinez to the SSAC

        Whereas, the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) does review its membership and make adjustments from time-to-time.

        Whereas, the SSAC Membership Committee, on behalf of the SSAC, requests that the Board should appoint Xiaodong Lee and Carlos Martinez to the SSAC.

        Resolved (2013.10.23.02), that the Board appoints Xiaodong Lee and Carlos Martinez to the SSAC.

        Rationale for Resolution 2013.10.23.02

        The SSAC is a diverse group of individuals whose expertise in specific subject matters enables the SSAC to fulfill its charter and execute its mission. Since its inception, the SSAC has invited individuals with deep knowledge and experience in technical and security areas that are critical to the security and stability of the Internet's domain name system.

        The SSAC's continued operation as a competent body is dependent on the accrual of talented subject matter experts who have consented to volunteer their time and energies to the execution of the SSAC mission.

        Mr. Lee was appointed to the SSAC on 25 July 2010 but he resigned on 31 January 2012 to join ICANN as Vice President of the Asia Pacific Region. Earlier this year, Mr. Lee left ICANN to become CEO of CNNIC. He also holds a position as Research Professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CNIC). Mr. Lee brings extensive experience and understanding about the Asia Pacific Region, especially China, in addition to broad technical competence in areas of interest to SSAC.

        Mr. Martinez currently is the Security and Stability Manager at LACNIC. He is also Assistant Professor at the School of Engineering of the Universidad de la República in Montevideo, Uruguay. Mr. Martinez brings experience and technical expertise from the Latin American region, as well as experience in Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).

        This is an Organizational Administrative Function not requiring public comment.

      3. Thank You from SSAC to Vanda Scartezini

        Whereas, Vanda Scartezini was appointed to the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee on 25 June 2010 term ending on 31 December 2013.

        Whereas, ICANN wishes to acknowledge and thank Vanda Scartezini for her service to the community by her membership on the Security and Stability Advisory Committee.

        Resolved (2013.10.23.03), that Vanda Scartezini has earned the deep appreciation of the Board for her service to ICANN by her membership on the Security and Stability Advisory Committee, and that the Board wishes Ms. Scartezini well in all future endeavours.

        This is an Organizational Administrative Function not requiring public comment.

        Rationale for Resolution 2013.10.23.03

        It is the practice of the SSAC to seek Board recognition of the service of Committee members upon their departure.

      4. Receipt of ccNSO Report to the Board, IDN ccPDP

        Whereas, the ccNSO has concluded its work to develop policy recommendations pertaining to the section of IDN country code Top Level Domains (IDN ccTLD) strings and the inclusion of IDN ccTLD managers in the ccNSO, with policy recommendations adopted by the ccNSO on 10 April 2013.

        Whereas, pursuant to the ccNSO Policy Development Process set forth in the Bylaws, the ccNSO has prepared a Board Report regarding these recommendations.

        Resolved (2013.10.23.04), the Board receives the September 2013 ccNSO Board Report on the IDN ccNSO Policy Development Process.

        Resolved (2013.10.23.05), the GAC is to be provided formal notice, through the Board Chair, of the Board Report, with identification that the Board intends to consider the policy recommendations at its first regularly scheduled meeting after ICANN's meetings in Buenos Aires.

        Rationale for Resolutions 2013.10.23.04 – 2013.10.23.05

        The Board's acknowledgement of receipt indicates its intention to the community to discuss the ccNSO Recommendation is part of maintaining accountability and transparency in ICANN's decision-making process. According the ICANN Bylaws, Annex B: ccNSO Policy-Development Process (ccPDP), Section 15a, the Board shall meet to discuss the ccNSO Recommendation as soon as feasible after receipt of the Board Report, taking into account procedures for Board consideration. The specific allowance for notification to the Governmental Advisory Committee acknowledges the GAC's role in providing advice on policy matters arising out of the ccNSO, as set forth in Annex B to the Bylaws.

        There is no anticipated fiscal impact from this decision, and there will be no impact on the security, stability and resiliency of the domain name system as a result of this action.

        This is an Organizational Administrative Function not requiring public comment.
