Board questions - ICANN70

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Dear NCSG,

I'm sending you below the draft questions/talking points for our meeting
with the Board at ICANN70, are there any other questions or corrections you
want to suggest ?

In case there's anything, please flag them to me by the end of today.

best,
B

*EPDP*
1.  The EPDP has been a long, painful but very instructive process.  We are
concerned about the tendency for matters on which we have conceded and
tried to reach a consensus, being simply re argued on the platform of
consensus at the next stage of the process.  The Chairs have a hard enough
job chairing these difficult PDPs, but now they have to stop warring sides
from opening up settled matters under fresh titles.  How does the Board
recommend that we deal with this problem?


*Pandemic and ICANN Community*
2.  NCSG would be interested in learning about how much money has the
Organization saved on the absence of travel, as well as understanding the
areas where this money has been redistributed.
3. What tangible steps the board thinks can be taken to address the high
community burnout and decrease in participation from some stakeholder
groups. Has ICANN conducted any recent assessments on community
participation?  Our understanding is that there has been some decline in
participation but we are not fully aware of the numbers and are worried
that it poses a threat to the multistakeholder model.
4. Considering the vaccinations happening around the world - despite the
initial stage we might still be - NCSG would like to know if the Org has
any plans vis a vis vaccine passports, for when we finally reopen?  How
have the conversations about hybrid meetings or return to present meetings
been ?
