[gnso-osc-ccc] Team activity -- action request included
Greetings CCT: Forgive the length of this e-mail, but in advance of our next meeting I want to cover a number of issues, pass along some relevant documents and see if I can clearly lay out some tasks in front of us. All before the weekend. Minutes First, minutes of Wednesday's meeting are attached here. (Thank you Julie for handling that task.) Please review and be prepared to vote on them as accurate in this Wednesday's meeting. Administrative A couple of administrative issues were raised in our last call: Quorum In the context of decision-making and otherwise conducting business, we discussed whether or not to require a quorum of team members for voting or taking a stand. We decided that a quorum isn't necessary to convene a meeting, but votes or decisions need to be made by at least 50% of the roster of team members. We currently have Voting We elected to conduct votes in one of two ways (provided we have a quorum): * By roll call during a meeting * By online method, using Doodle. We'll likely use the online method more often as it gives everyone a chance to vote and takes time differences into account, etc. Please let me know if there are any issues with the above. Selection of Chair / Vice Chair In Wednesday's meeting, I was nominated as permanent chair, and Steve Holsten was nominated as Vice Chair. We both indicated our willingness to serve in those capacities until the conclusion of our work. We're using the Doodle to vote on these positions. You can link to it here: http://www.doodle.com/kmy6m6hyykps57a9 *** Please remember to save your changes before exiting Doodle *** Let's conclude that vote on Tuesday at 17:00 UTC. What we're focusing on now We have three immediate issues/tasks in front of us: 1. Call with the ICANN web team This will be on Wednesday and may take up most of the call. The purpose of their participation is to help us understand what ICANN and GNSO website changes are already planned or under way so we can incorporate that into our considerations and recommendations. 2. Work plan Staff has generously created an initial work plan, housed in the attached checklist. I recommend we use this to manage our work, rather than create a separate (and duplicative) plan document. 3. Strawman version of recommendations document My suggestion on the call Wednesday was that we open a document that we'll use as the outline for our ultimate set of recommendations. We don't yet need to do this - since we're still in information gathering mode - but it's a good way to start organizing our thoughts. Agenda for Weds 1. Call to order and introductions 2. Review agenda 3. ICANN web team overview 4. All other business Attendance Just a note of encouragement here to attend the call if at all possible. We've had good participation, but not as good as we all hope for. So if you haven't made a meeting yet, now's your chance. I hope you'll make every effort to attend. Please let me know if there are any questions. Have a good weekend and speak with you Wednesday. Regards, Mason Attachment:
