<br>
It is time to decide what we want to take up in our meeting with the<br>
Board in Cancun. The Board has asked the SO/AC:s one question:<br>
<br>
"The ICANN Board would like to explore how to combine the efficiencies <br>
of an agile approach to problem solving, like the Council’s small teams, <br>
with the need for accountability and transparency, to make progress on <br>
policy conversations. When would such an approach be most appropriate <br>
and how can we ensure that it does not circumvent required steps in a <br>
policy development process?"<br>
<br>
What are our thoughts?<br>
<br>
As to our questions to the board, here are our questions from the<br>
previous meeting (as a reminder):<br>
<br>
- What is the Board’s take on the phenomenon of ICANN recycling veterans<br>
for leadership positions. Does the Board think it’s beneficial for the<br>
community to have the usual suspects rotating between leadership roles<br>
of different stakeholder groups? How do we fix this if we agree this<br>
is a problem? How does the Board imagine its role in assisting the<br>
community to recruit more new blood?<br>
<br>
- Is there a possibility of rebalancing the NomCom?<br>
<br>
- What efforts are channeled to keep the people in the community from<br>
volunteer fatigue?<br>
<br>
