<p>Thanks Rafik</p>
<p>Not sure much was agreed except that we need to deal with it and
we are running out of time.</p>
<p>First we had the timeline from Greg before the meeting, which was
not really discussed further. Then we had some general discussion
about the need to do something on the Board selection process.
People voiced their views on different aspects of the process and
there was concern over the timeline, but we did not really decide
anything (others please jump in as I may have missed some
important aspects). Markus announced he wanted to continue in
the role; I announced I was going to run. Then the CSG proposal
for a process was circulated on Thurs AM. There seemed to be
general agreement that the CSG proposal was not ideal. <br>
</p>
<p>I think the key immediate thing is us agreeing a process and
timeline for nominations and getting that announced, so at least
the initial stages of the process are underway.</p>

<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">All,</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">We probably
need a different mailing list to finish working on the
Board Seat selection process, and a small group to do
it, but I'll start here, since I think this is the
only active mailing list with both sides of the NCPH
on it.</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">We basically
have no time to work this out, and we've already
started the process without knowing what it is
exactly, since we have now received nominations.</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">In addition to
the adaptation of the CPH procedures previously
circulated, I'm also attaching the following for
consideration:</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">1. Some
bullet-points from an exchange between CSG and NCSG
representatives outlining a potential draft process.</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">2. The latest
version of the ICANN Staff Memo with a revised draft
timeline and some relevant excerpts from Bylaws and
GNSO Procedures.</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">3. A further
excerpt from the Bylaws, with Section 11.3(f), which
covers the selection process for Seats 13-14 (to the
extent that is covered in the Bylaws), and Section
11.3(h), which is referred to in Section 11.3(f).</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">A few thoughts
and comments:</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">A. We only
have 10 1/2 weeks to both develop and go through a
process that is contemplated to take 21 weeks (just to
go through). Talk about building the airplane in the
air.</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">B. At the
Intersessional, we discussed possible adjustments to
the timeline, but did not come to any decisions. It's
not clear to me whether Staff is preparing a further
revised draft. I'll ask.</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">C. If any of
our groups have not already done so, we should put out
a call for any other nominations ASAP (though it would
be nice to know the end of the nomination period).</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">D. Without
making any judgments, the CPH process and the NCPH
bullet-points are significantly different when it
comes to voting.</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">E. We should
figure out how to get this process agreed as quickly
as possible. Given the unusual circumstances, we
don't need to use this process as precedent for any
future process. We just need to get through this
selection. One approach is for NCSG to respond to the
draft sent at the end of the Intersessional. However,
given the gap between that and the bullet-points, it
might just be better to arrange a call/Adobe Connect
session ASAP to move the ball forward.</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Thanks for
reading,</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Greg</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">P.S. It's not
all that important how we got here, but nonetheless,
it should be noted that the GNSO Procedures were never
updated from 2012, when the Bylaws deadline for naming
the Director was changed from one month to two months
(briefly) and then six months prior to being seated.
(The GNSO Procedures will need to be updated in any
event, since the Bylaws references are now obsolete.))
The draft bullet-points repeated this error.</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">B. Since we
are doing this with very little time</div>
