ICANN75: NCSG Meeting with the ICANN Board

[Rafik Dammak]

HI Julf,


Thanks for replying but still: it is like the initiative about MSM
effectiveness. Those efforts are not gonna help for any issue related to
volunteers if we don't solve them upstream, from the source.
We need to really reduce and prioritize the initiatives and focus on policy
making first which means back to fundamentals for ICANN. It also means
solving issues for the whole pipeline, as I wrote we got policy
recommendations, meaning community hard fought deliverables stuck at ICANN
org and board side for too long with the real threat of relitigation and
redoing the work . How we can talk about fixing volunteers burnout when
those who put time and effort cannot see the outcome of their work for long
times.

I can appreciate there is goodwill from some board members but I expect
them to do their main duties first like reviewing and approving policy
recommendations in due time, keeping the CEO from initiating several of his
projects, same for the board too because they have the ability to get the
budget (community doesn't have that privilege)

Best,

Rafik
