Betreff: RE: [bc-gnso] AoC A&T RT Candidates

Marilyn,

 

Thanks for sending around the list of AoC Candidates.  My DOI is that I,
myself, am a candidate.  

 

Do we have any idea when the CVes, motivation letters and GNSO answers will
be circulated?  Also, considering that Peter (Chairman) said that he and
Janis will take a decision this week for announcement at the Board meeting,
is it possible that the CSG Ex Com could ensure that they get shared
tomorrow with the constituencies so that this can be thoroughly discussed
and recommendations made in time?  

 

Secondly, is the CSG Ex Com presenting a recommended process for our SG
candidates and the guidance to Wolf-Ulrich for his role within the
evaluation team/council?  From the list I see that there are several CSG
candidates?

 

Thanks,

 

RA

Subject: [bc-gnso] FW: final and updated agendas/update re CSG
session/apologies to the BC list/use THIS set of materials

 




Steve, Sarah, Tony, Antonio, Claudio, Wolf, BC members, 

Guys, sorry, things are moving quickly here. 

 

Wolf has met with me and Antonio during the AoC Review Team open session and
we have identified with his input a serious problem with the amount of time
previously allocated to the discussion of this topic. 

 

Accordingly, as noted earlier, on today's 6 p.m. call which is open to all
members of all these constituencies Wolf will take ten minutes to outline
the timeline, including that the evaluation team will meet Thursday. The
rest of the agenda will be the open roundup. 

 

Secondly, Tony and I consulted with Wolf and have modified the CSG agenda
accordingly to allocate 30 minutes to discussion.  I realize that there are
three applicants for these seats within the BC. We will not evaluate any
candidates in this session.  I will urge all of our members to be very
sensitive to the fact this is an open session.  In the meantime, the CSG
execomm members can discuss how to accelerate the development of a process
to develop the advancement of names from this SG.  

 

I understand that members are extremely interested and are asking for
insight and involvement in a CSG process. This email is conveying that
feedback to the CSG ExComm members. 

 

I will remind all that there is a second one hour call on Tuesday, which
presently presents an opportunity for discussion about topics that arise on
Tuesday.  This call/meeting can be reconfirmed on Monday's call/meeting at 6
p.m.

 

the final list of candidates AND updates on agenda for the CSG segment. The
other material in the agendas with the briefing re the Breakfast is
unchanged.  

 

My apologies to the BC list that I am changing the CSG agenda.  The phone
numbers remain unchanged, so don't lose the earlier email, but use this
version of the agendas.

 

Finally, an update to all of you, I have invited Markus Kummer,Executive
Secretariat of the IGF as a guest to the breakfast tomorrow.  I did that
after talking to a few folks about the topics for the breakfast and
apologize for the surprise and that I didn't have a chance for full
consultation.

Subject: FW: [bc-gnso] Notes form GAC-GNSO joint meeting
Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2010 04:45:05 -0500

This briefing is an update that is available to be distributed, as you
chose, by the ISP and IPC representatives.

 

I have provided a briefing on the breakfast because of the mutual interest,
even for those who are not here in person.

 

secondly, we have confirmed business guests, and I've cc'd them as they are
invited tothe breakfast, and all other sessions. 

 

For others who are inviting guests, I need the names from you for seat
assignments. See request for onsite assistance to place the seating cards
and make last minute adjustments and assist in on site hosting. I also need
'volunteer sherpas' to take care of the special guests and we are likely to
be asking that of you on site. 

===============================================

 

UPDATE ON BREAKFAST -- CROSS CONSTITUENCY BREAKFAST WITH BOARD AND SENIOR
STAFF AND GUESTS FROM SG 'SECTORS' 

 

Please arrive a little eary to be sure you are in the room by 7:50 a.m.
since the Board and staff and guests will arrive at 8 a.m. The Breakfast
will end at 9:45 a.m.

 

there are there topics for the breakfast -- the third was collaboratively
developed with Peter Dengate Thrush on Saturday.

 

Remember that there are a number of non member guests -- some from ISPs,
including from India and Kenya and AfrISPA. A few of our local Business
guests from the Computer Society of Kenya from Sunday's dinner will join
Waudo Siganga, our WITSA member of the BC.  This breakfast is intended to be
a dialogue between people, and the Board has repeatedly told me, as has the
Chair, that they wish to listen and to have a dialogue. 

 

I want to mention to all of you remote participants that although the Board
did have a competing commitment with the GNSO policy council dinner, Peter
Dengate Thrush, Chair, accepted the invitation from Waudo and me to bring
some of the Board members to the Reception and to make remarks, with the
other Board members and the ICANN staff starting the dinner with the GNSO
Policy Councilors. The V.Chair of the Policy Council graciously met with
Peter and me to collaborate on that arrangement.

 

the Board who came were thrilled to meet the local business community and
their enthusiam for theort of our local BC member, and the support that we
provided was very well received and several board members congratulated me
for the initiative of the BC. Since the "tool kit" of services and support
by staff to enable us to focus more on outreach and recruitment is on our
agenda for  discussion with the Board during the breakfast, we can expect a
more receptive and interested 'ear' and attitude to our desire to do more
ourselves but with appropriate ICANN support to our efforts to grow and
enhance the participation, overall in the CSG's constituencies. 

 

SEATING:  There will be a sort of rough allocation of assigned seats, with
my effort to put new people with one or two 'sherpa', that is a seasoned
member of one of the constituencies/or two, who will join them at their
table with the Board/Staff and ensure that everyone gets introduced,
socializes a bit, etc. STAY TUNED TO GET AN ASSIGNMENT. 

 

I am inviting Steve DelBianco, Tony Harris and need one more volunteer to
help with distributing the seating assignments.  You will need to arrive at
7:15 a.m. at the Venue. 

 

The room for the breakfast will be distributed shortly, as soon as I get it
from ICANN. 

 

THREE TOPICS for table discussion:  Some board members and staff will be
leaving at 9 and 9:30 a.m. for other commitments.  There will be non members
[potential members] at each table.  After the breakfast, please escort these
folks into the CSG meeting, if they are available to join us. I would ask
that the 'sherpas' play a bit of a introductory role to your colleagues, as
needed. 

 

1. AFFIRMATION OF COPMMITMENTS/IN THE LIGHT OF IMPROVING INSTITUTIONAL
CONFIDENCE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ICANN'S ACTING IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST 

 

[ SUB THEME : what does this mean? How are we all actualizing this? Note
that this is not merely looking to the GAC, but understanding that this is a

2. CHALLENGES TO BUSINESS PARTICIPATION AND OUTREACH/MAKING ICANN MEANINGFUL
TO BUISNESS USES -- SPECIAL FOCUS ON DEVELOPING COUNTRIES -- Led by Waudo
Siganga.  [will be discussed at each table but Waudo will also make a few
comments, which will then lead to discussion in the open session

 

3.  ICANN'S CHALLENGES IN EXISTENCE/CO EXISTENCE IN THE LARGER ECO SYSTEM OF
INTERNET GOVERNANCE/IMPORTANCE OF BUSINESS USER LEADERSHIP/EXISTING
LEADERSHIP AND INVOLVEMENT 

 

Note: this topic was developed by Peter Dengate Thrush, CEO, in
collaboration with Marilyn Cade as a topic of beneficial overarching
relevance to the three constituencies and to ICANN.

-to prepare for this discussion, please review the Strategic
Plan/Operational Plan references to ICANN's related activities. 

 

[reminder that these topics, except for the one added by ICANN, were
circulated earlier. Ovearching issues are the topic for Doug Brent, with a
