Gentle reminders on Tomorrow's schedule

[Stephanie E Perrin]

Just a reminder folks, tomorow at 10;00 UTC we have the meeting between 
the ICANN Board and the NCSG. They gave us this topic to focus on:

Enhancing the effectiveness of the Multistakeholder model: key issues 
and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation you may want to 
consider the results of the most recent public consultation, and work 
that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of 
the MSM (such as the ATRT3 report and work on prioritization and 
budgeting).

We offered these topics for discussion:

 1. The NCSG would be interested to hear the Board’s views on the EPDP
    report, and the various letters that the CEO has been writing
    recently on that topic.
 2. ICANN has invested quite a lot of financial and personnel resources
    on the Internet and Jurisdiction project.  Since transborder data
    flow and jurisdiction remains an active issue both in our ongoing
    policy work (e.g. the EPDP) and in current data protection court
    cases (e.g.Schrems II and the US response to the removal of Privacy
    Shield as a preferred transborder dataflow option) we would be
    interested to hear about how the Board views the results and
    takeaways from this project.
 3. We are concerned about the growing use of google docs as a
    consultation mechanism. While it undoubtedly simplifies the work for
    staff, and possibly for some folks who are commenting, it does seem
    to us to steer comments in limited directions.  It is also awkward
    for those not used to the framework.  Could we have a discussion
    about possible options to mitigate what we see as risks with this
    mechanism?

We followed up with two more, which were more or less amalgamated.  The 
one on the EPDP  now reads

  * The NCSG would be interested to hear the Board’s views on the EPDP
    report, and the various letters that the CEO has been writing to
    various parties on that topic, notably the GAC and DPAs

And the final one is as follows:

Thank you for briefing the GNSO Council on the new Operational Design 
document which you recently circulated. We have a number of concerns 
which we would like to discuss with the Board about this proposal.


Many thanks to Maryam, as always, for shepherding our last minute 
revisions through the system.  Please tune in tomorrow to take part in 
this discussion.

Kind regards,

Stephanie Perrin

Outgoing NCSG Chair
