RE: [gnso-osc-csg] Next steps and conference call- Staff Support

["Victoria McEvedy" <victoria@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sure none of us --who are volunteering our time --want to make 
recommendations that are too late to have any impact. 

 

If the Board proceeds to approve the charters and/or constituencies before it 
now without our input -what is the point?   

 

If there is a formal way to ask them to wait and/or put a marker down that they 
ought to have our recommendations -then we should use it. 

 

At present the SG's contain the old constituencies so the point remains I 
think. Until we see something new we are working with the old models?   

 

Regards,

Victoria,

 

I don't believe there is any pending actions on the part of the Board that 
impacts our work on the CSG WT.  They already approved the bicameral Council 
model with 4 SGs.  That is why we need to focus on SG operations as well as 
Constituency Operations.

 

Maybe I don't understand you question Victoria.

 

Chuck

        Chuck and Olga and Team, 

         

        Is there a formal way of politely asking the Board to wait for our 
recommendations in these regards? 

         

        Best,

        The CSG WT will need to deal with both constituency operations and 
stakeholder group operations.  The original draft charter focused solely on 
constituencies because the stakeholder group element had not yet been fully 
developed.  As I think you are aware, the SG charters are still being developed 
but I think proposed charters are available for review; none of them have been 
approved by the Board yet, nor have any of the constituency renewal requests 
been approved yet to my knowldege.

         

        Chuck

Dear Olga,

Good to hear from you about next conference call.

1. I will need comparative statement of 'participation rules and operating 
procedures', followed by various constituencies in a tabulated/summarized form 
from the staff and also any other material they have prepared to support the 
work.

 

2. language of subtask 1.1 still remains to be resolved--constituency or 
Stakeholder group?

 

regards,

SS

        Dear Work Team members,

         

        In preparation for our next meeting on Friday, April 24, at 1300 UTC, I 
would like to remind you of our action items and suggest an agenda for the 
meeting. 
        
        First, for our action items ICANN staff circulated a revised Draft Task 
1 Work Plan 
(https://st.icann.org/icann-osc/index.cgi?constituency_operations_team).  Many 
of you provided comments and agreed to participate as follows:

         

        1.     Develop recommendations for a set of participation rules and 
operating procedures, which all constituencies should abide by

        Lead: 
        S.S. Kshatriya - Individual
        
        Participants: 
        Victoria McEvedy - Intellectual Property Interests Constituency 
        Rafik Dammak - Non-Commercial Users Constituency

         

        2.     Develop recommendations for clear operating principles for each 
constituency to ensure that all constituencies function in a representative, 
open, transparent, and democratic manner

        Lead: 
        Victoria McEvedy - Intellectual Property Interests Constituency
        
        Participants: 
        Olga Cavalli - Nominating Committee Appointee 
        Rafik Dammak - Non-Commercial Users Constituency

         

        3.     Develop recommendations for creating and maintaining a database 
of all constituency members and others not formally a part of any constituency 
that is up-to-date and publicly accessible.

        Lead: 
        Krista Papac - Registrar Constituency
        
        Participants: 
        Tony Harris - Internet Service and Connectivity Providers Constituency

         

        4.     Develop a "toolkit" of in-kind staff support and/or services for 
all constituencies 

               
        Lead: 
        Julie Hedlund - ICANN staff
        
        Participants: 
        Chuck Gomes - gTLD Registries Constituency

         

        I suggest that we review the Work Plan so that we can be prepared to 
discuss it on Friday's call.  
        
        In particular, I think it would be useful for all of us to consider how 
we might exchange information about constituencies in relation to the subtasks. 
 
        
        Also, in our last meeting we agreed that it will be very important to 
have input from all constituencies as we develop the recommendations for these 
subtasks.  Thus far, not all constituencies are represented and it could be 
very much convenient that all of them participate actively in this process.

         

        Finally, here is a draft agenda for Friday's meeting.  Please feel free 
to suggest any changes or additions.

         

        Meeting Agenda

         

        1.  Call to order/roll call

        2.  Draft Task 1 Work Plan

            a.  Participants from constituencies that are not represented

            b.  How to exchange information about constituencies in relations 
to subtasks

            c.  First steps and schedule for draft sub-team recommendations

        3.  Any other business

         

        Thank you and I look forward to meeting with you on Friday.

         

        Best regards,

         

        Olga
