Monthly Workplan ccNSO version February 2017.pdf
High level description of ccNSO Work Plan 2016-2018
At its workshop meeting in Marrakesh (6 March 2016) , the ccNSO Council discussed and established the activities the ccNSO is expected to undertake and/or anticipated to be involved in over the next 2 (two) years, 2016-2018.
Clusters of activities
In order to allow easier oversight and administration of these activities by Council, all the envisioned activities have been categorised included into the following clusters:
- IANA Stewardship and Accountability
- ccNSO Policy and policy related work
- ICANN Focused work
- Administration of the ccNSO and ccNSO Council
- Outreach and Engagement
For each of these clusters the main activities are described in relation to ICANN/and or community processes or projects and the ccNSO groups, if any, involved. The clusters, activities etc. are listed in Table 1 (page 2-4).
In addition, and as further step in evolution of the roles of the chair and vice-chairs, each cluster has been assigned to a “cluster owner”(for lack of a better term) e.g. to the chair or one of the vice-chairs. This has been done to strengthen collective leadership, ease the workload for the chair and ensure continuity of activities on going basis in the different areas. A “cluster owner” will act as point of contact with respect to the ccNSO activities in the cluster, both internally and externally. The names associated with each of the clusters are also included in Table 1.
Another view of the content in Table 1 is included in Annex A: ccNSO Work plan 2016-2018, which is a mind map showing the clusters, cluster owners, main activities and relevant ccNSO (WG) groups.
Detailed view of ccNSO activities per cluster
Using the clustering of activities and projects, an overview of the main work items, related actions and milestones as foreseen is provided. In Table 2-6 for each of the cluster the following data points are provided:
- Activity. The term used to identify the activity or project
- Description. A brief description of the activity or projects
- Launch date. Date a project or activity is expected to be launched. If on-going it is either described as such or with starting date March 2016.
- Target date. Anticipated end-date / date of closure. Note that in some cases the activity may be on going ( for example triaging request form other SOs or AC by yhe Triage committee.
- Owner. The ccNSO group or ccNSO appointed chair or person managing/administrating the project or activity
- Priority. Priority, if any, assigned to the project or activity by the ccNSO Council
- Actions/Status/dependencies. Additional remarks, which may be useful for management of the project or activity
Further, the list of projects and activities has been loaded in a project management tool, to provide overview in GANTT chart format (Annex B ccNSO Portfolio 2016-2018). The GANTT chart will also be used to allow Council to track progress of the activities and projects and plan the launch.
