[board-09georegionswg] FW: Geo Regions WG Agreements, To-Do¹s Update and Next Steps from 15 February 2010 WG teleconference
Dear All, A quick reminder that we have a teleconference tomorrow at 1200 UTC. In preparation, I am resending Rob's email of 28 Feb in which he summarized our last teleconference and attached copies of the survey and his "experimental draft" wording for the report. I suggest our agenda should be: 1. Feedback from Nairobi (if any). 2. Survey status. 3. Rob's "experimental text". 4. Other issues re: draft report Regards, Dave David A Archbold Managing Director Information & Communications Technology Authority david.archbold@xxxxxxx<mailto:david.archbold@xxxxxxx> www.icta.ky<http://www.icta.ky> From: owner-board-09georegionswg@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-board-09georegionswg@xxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robert Hoggarth Sent: Sunday, 28 February, 2010 9:15 PM To: board-09georegionswg@xxxxxxxxx Subject: [board-09georegionswg] Geo Regions WG Agreements, To-Do¹s Update and Next Steps from 15 February 2010 WG teleconference Dear Working Group Members: Set forth below is a review of the discussion items, agreements and to-do's from the 15 February Working Group teleconference. As described below, I've attached for your information and review several documents relevant to the meeting discussions. Call Attendees; Dave Archbold Fahd Batayneh Cheryl Langdon-Orr Carlton Samuels Paul Wilson Bart Boswinkel Gisella Gruber-White Rob Hoggarth Apologies from Olga Cavalli and Janis Karklins Survey Document Discussion/Update: Rob reported that the survey document approved by the WG was being translated to ensure availability in all six official UN languages. To enable broader outreach to potential community respondents, at Cheryl's request, the WG also asked for the survey to be translated into Portuguese. As of this date all the translations have been completed (copies of each translation are attached to this message as an FYI). The Big Pulse survey vendor is currently building/populating the necessary interfaces for the survey. When the prep work is completed, the links to the survey document in the various languages will be made available to all WGH members to promote and circulate throughout their respective communities. Potential Meeting During ICANN Nairobi Week: WG members agreed not to hold a face-to-face meeting in Nairobi, but directed Staff to attempt to arrange a WG teleconference for a mutually convenient time during the Nairobi meeting week. Gisella has already circulated a Doodle Scheduling Poll to identify the best day and time for the call. As of this afternoon there were three responses to the poll. Drafting of the Interim Report: Dave noted the recent challenges in producing and getting feedback on draft text for the Interim Report and acknowledged that there are still several ways to approach the document. He agreed to draft some additional text or bullet points from the ccNSO perspective to try to flesh out some potential consensus points that the WG can use to structure the Interim Report. Then WG members can discuss the new materials. It was thought that generating some additional perspectives or ideas in the Interim Report could also help to form the nucleus for the Final Report. Rob accepted the task of create some "strawman" draft text for potential ways to address the 25 "Matters To Be Considered" in the Initial Report document. Fleshing out those matters could help with the structure of the Interim Report as well. Attached please find a set of "strawman" draft text for your consideration. WG Time Table: To provide sufficient time for survey circulation, review and analysis of responses and to give WG members sufficient time to draft and review additional portions of the Interim Report, members agreed to extend the timetable for completion and publication of the Interim Report to a time prior to the ICANN Brussels meeting - with a further expectation to proceed with completion and publication of the Final WG Report, if possible, prior to the ICANN Latin America meeting. There was consensus that the opportunity for community input was critical to this effort and that extended community comments periods for both the Interim and Final Reports (just like for the Initial Report) should be preserved throughout the process. Staff has notified the Board of this timetable adjustment. Although my initial plans were to not attend the Nairobi meeting, it now turns out that I will be there in-person. I look forward to seeing those of you who will also be attending and look forward to your email comments on the attached draft "strawman" text. Best regards, Rob Hoggarth Attachment:
