Board Chair Steve Crocker then introduced [[Byron Holland]], president and CEO of the [[Canadian Internet Registration Authority]] (CIRA) and current Chair of [[ICANN]]'s [[ccNSO]]. Holland began by summarizing the development of the Internet and the creation of [[ccNSO]]s, specifically the creation of [[.ca]]. Holland drew parallels between the formation of [[CIRA]] and the activities of [[ccNSO]] within ICANN, underlining the importance national, versus private or personal needs when meeting as a group. Holland then described the [[ccNSO]] as largely heterogeneous, consensus-driven and motivated to exchange ideas and best practices as opposed to creating hard-line binding rules and legislation. He concluded by outlining the [[ccNSO]]'s current aims, namely to complete its work with [[ICANN]]'s [[GAC]] in creating its [[Framework of Interpretation]]. This document refines the [[ccNSO]]'s relationship to [[ICANN]], namely its possibilities and limitations.
