Wichtigkeit: Hoch


I forgot to bring this up at the end of our call today.  Does anyone object to 
me sending the draft plan that Bill will be sending around with edits we agreed 
to today to the ccNSO as Peter suggested.  Of couse it would be sent with lots 
of disclaimers regarding "a work still in progress", etc.

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

                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.  .
