Good morning Chuck, two questions:

1)      Is the DT Ok with the sharing of your methodology with ccNSO, as
suggested by Peter?

2)      Marika told me that today you'll have a Council call on
selection of volunteers. Do you want me to participate? No problem from
my side, I can make it for about one hour if it can be of help.

Thanks

Marco

Thank you very much Marco.  I personally am okay with sharing the draft
endorsement plan with the ccNSO but want to check with the DT members to
see if anyone has any concerns.

        Importance: High

        Chuck, both Peter and Janis agree on a one-week extension of the
deadline, no problem.

        I will announce it on Mon, just yesterday we published a
reminder of the deadline a few hours before your exchange of email and
would not like to create confusion.

        Peter suggests also to share your draft endorsement process with
ccNSO, they might be interested to work on the same line; do you have
any objection / do you have a consolidated version to circulate?

        Thanks

        Marco

                Chuck, I saw this and just asked Peter and Janis if they
are positive on this possibility. 

                If I receive something even before your formal request I
let you know.

                Thanks

                Marco

                That is exactly what I was thinking Bill.  But I didn't
want to make the request unless I had a sense that the DT members
support me doing so.  Does anyone object to me sending a request to the
Board/Staff asking for a "one week extension of time beyond 17 February
(i.e., 24 Feb) for Council endorsement of GNSO volunteers"?  If I hear
no objections today, I will send it.

                Hi 
                
                 
                Thanks for the detailed suggestions Chuck.  Obviously we
need to  know first if they will extend the timeline, as Marco
previously rejected that  possibility and said Janis and Peter will be
Selectors on the 20th.  If  everyone agrees, as Chair could you fire off
the extension request, and when  we know either way we can work through
the rest?
                 
                
                 
                Best,
                 
                
                 
                Bill

                I appreciate the  good discussion going on today and
just now found some time to jump  in.  Here are some ideas that may help
us move forward in both the near  term and longer term regarding a GNSO
endorsement  process.
                
                 
                 
                I think it  would be helpful if we work on two separate
endorsement processes: 1)  one for the first review team that has a very
short window; 2) one for the  long term that could be applied for
endorsement of volunteers for  future RTs.  I understand that the "Call
for Applicants for the Position of Volunteer Review Team  Member"
(http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-13jan10-en.htm)
covers all four reviews but the only deadline set is for the first
review  (Accountability and  Transparency), 17 February.  To work within
this very  short timeframe, I think it will be impossible to develop a
quality  long-term process and do it using a bottom-up approach that
involves the  broader GNSO community.  That is why I think we should
first narrow our  focus on a one-time process to address the immediate
need and then spend  more time in the next month or two on developing a
better process that  we can more thoroughly vet.  Using the various
ideas that members of  our DT proposed on this list and taking into
consideration the very tight  time constraints, I propose the following
for the one-time  process:

                1.      ASAP: 1) send a request to the  Board/Staff for
a one week extension of time beyond 17 February  (i.e., 24 Feb) for
Council endorsement of GNSO volunteers; 2) send a  request to Staff
requesting that applications received from volunteers for  the
Accountability and Transparency RT be forwarded to the GNSO  Secretariat
as soon as possible after receipt for distribution to the  Council list
and other GNSO organization lists; 3) notify GNSO community  members
that the GNSO endorsement process is under development and  encourage
volunteers from the GNSO to submit applications via the ICANN  process;
4) request that SGs, Constituencies and other GNSO  groups encourage
volunteers from their communities to submit applications  via the ICANN
process.   
                2.      10  Feb: 1) finalize a draft one-time process
for the first  Accountability and Transparency RT and distribute to the
Council with a  motion for Council approval; 2) publicly post and
distribute draft process  GNSO groups; 3) send draft process to ICANN
Staff and request that it be  sent as soon as possible to all GNSO
volunteers with a request that  they complete the GNSO request for
information and send it to the GNSO  Secretariat by 17 Feb or as soon
thereafter as possible but not later than  22 Feb   
                3.      18  Feb: 1) Council approval of the one-time
process; 2) Council  review & discussion of nominees identified to date;
3) form an  evaluation team made up of one Councilor from each SG plus
one NCA to  rate the responses and report to the Council list not later
than 23  Feb; request that the AoC Review DT continue its work to
develop  a longer-term process for Council consideration in March or
April.   
                4.      24 Feb:  Hold a brief Council teleconference
call to review volunteers and  finalize the list of volunteers endorsed
by the GNSO for the 2010  Accountability and Transparency RT. 

                
                Proposed  Details for GNSO Endorsements
                
                 
                 
                The GNSO Council  will endorse up to six volunteers for
the 2010 AoC Accountability and  Transparency RT as follows:

                *       Endorsement  requires a simple majority vote of
each house.   
                *       Assuming their  are volunteers who receive the
necessary Council votes, at least one  volunteer should be endorsed from
each house.   
                *       No more than  two volunteers should come from
the same geographical  region.   
                *       Volunteers must  not all be of the same gender
and at least 1/3 of each gender should be  represented if possible.   
                *       In cases where  more than six total or more than
one from a SG receive at least  a simple majority from each house, ties
will be broken as  follows, in the order presented: 1) geographical
and/or gender diversity;  2) the total votes received; 3) the Council
non-voting NCA will  be asked to break the tie.  (We should check with
Andrei to make he  is okay with this.) 

                
                Notes:  a) Endorsement is not automatic just because
there are less than six  volunteers or because a volunteer is from a SG
for which there is no  other volunteer or for geographical or gender
reasons; b) having  appropriate skill and knowledge sets is the most
important qualification and  hopefully the requirement for at least a
simple majority of each house will  facilitate that goal; c) it is
possible to endorse less than six volunteers,  to endorse no one from a
SG, to not endorse volunteers from both  genders and/or have less than
three geographic regions  represented.  .
