Thanks Julie,
What I am suggesting in relation with the document is that you only include 
questions and comments in the place that they correspond in the document.
Final changes and additions to the text will be decided during the call, dont 
worry now about that.
Also it could be useful if you can highlight those parts of the text that were 
indicated by Ron and Steve to be reviewed or commented.
Please let me know if you have any question or doubt.
Other comments are also welcome.
best regards
Olga

Dear Olga,

I will set up a call.   I also will try to include comments in the document, 
but it is not clear to me in every case what changes I should include.  In 
those cases where it isn’t clear to me, I’ll include the comments and we can 
discuss on the call how to, or whether to, include them.

Best regards,

Julie

Thanks Chuck for your comments.
I suggest that we make a conference call next Friday at our regular time to 
work on these questions and possible answers and comments.

Julie, could you be so kind in:

1- doing the conf call arrangements.

2. Including in the body of the document all the requested comments, and 
suggested answers sent by me and other thay may contribute during this week.
I think that this will make the revision easier.

I welcome any other comments or suggestions.
Best regards
Olga

I suggest that any changes we make be presented in redline format to make it 
clear to the OSC members how we have responded to their comments.

Recommendations - for adoption September 24


Dear Debbie,
thanks for your email, I saw Ron and Phillip questions but I was in Lithuania 
for the IGF and had no time for reacting.

Questions and comments have been already copied to our list.

Here my impressions about them and perhaps a first step to an answer:

Gender balance: About Avri´s comment related with gender balance; I fully agree 
so weI can check in the document and make the corresponding changes.

2.1.2 Membership of the Committee, 2nd paragraph notes: "The Committee 
membership should be long enough to allow the participation of host country and 
neighboring nations, and to leverage the outreach events and alert as many 
relevant parties to effectuate goals and activities."

Perhaps examples can clarify this sentence.

The INternet Governance Forum (IGF) has been organized for five years in 
different continents and countries (Athens, Rìo, Hyderabad, Sharm el Sheik, 
Vilnius, Kenya?) and after each year one representative of the hosting country 
is a member of the group that organizes the general agenda.

In the South School on Internet Governance we copied the same example, in our 
academic committee we add each year one representative of the previous hosting 
country/institution, as the school rotates among countries in the Latin 
American region.
The purpose of these inclusions is to recieve the benefits of the experience 
gatherered during the events in different places.

If you agree with this idea we could try to capture this model into a 
clarifying text.


2.1.2.1 Representation on the Committee, 4th para notes: "Committee members 
should cooperate with the ICANN Fellowship selection team to be able to invite 
up to ten key people to each ICANN event, who may include people who represent 
numerous groups, such as leaders of academia, business associations, and 
non-governmental organizations."  Again, I do not understand what the sentence 
means, particularly who is being invited where?  Some background would 
hopefully bring some clarity to the intent.


The idea behind this sentence is that the selection of the fellows in the 
"Fellowship program of ICANN" has a criteria that matches the outreach efforts 
in relation with diverse inclusion.
Today there is only one representative of each region that makes this 
selection, so it could be good if the selection of the fellows is made jointly 
with a subgroup of the commitee devoted to this activity.

Perhaps the committee should have a small steering committee and a wider and 
broader consulting group that feeds with ideas the steering committee.

Your comments are welcome, if we agree in certain points and concepts then it 
will be easier to add or change the text in the document.

Best regards
Olga

Hi,

I would argue in favor of the criteria for diversity.  It is important to 
realize that the perspective that diversity of gender or community brings is a 
qualification.

Perhaps in pure mathematics, this may not be the case.  But in any subject area 
that requires human perspective, qualifications are incomplete without gender 
and other perspectives.
