Dear all,

Hope that you are managing to follow ICANN75 with success and not too much
jetlag for those back home.

I just wanted to call our SGs attention to the fact that tomorrow, Monday
19th at 13:15 MYT (UTC+8), we will have the NCSG joint session with the
ICANN Board <https://75.schedule.icann.org/meetings/pPh4rvj7jLXibQ78g>. For
tomorrow's meeting we have submitted the questions listed below and I hope
to see everyone online !! Best,
Bruna

NCSG meeting with the ICANN Board



PDPs Effectiveness and Volunteer fatigue

   1.

   NCSG would like to discuss Board Approval, implementation by ICANN org
   and delays of several PDPs - something we have already discussed with you
   in previous occasions. If we look at processes such as the EPDP related
   ones I think we can find a good example due
   2.

   to the fact that even despite the fact that the board didn't yet approve
   phase 2 recommendation, which were submitted in 2020, there is talk about
   the design paper of SSAD light. And in the past years, I guess we started
   gathering more examples of where the development process drags on for far
   too long and the implementation becomes the place de facto to redo policy
   recommendations. So NCSG would like to request the board for comments about
   the current speed or even how do you plan to work together with GNSO and
   its groups on possible improvements to the PDPs timeline and so on.
   3.

    What efforts are channeled to keep the people in the community from
   volunteer fatigue?



Whois Disclosure System


   1.

   The recently published Whois Disclosure System design paper mentioned a
   risk that the system might not provide actionable data for use to answer
   questions raised by the SSAD ODA and this makes us a little concerned about
   the EPDP recommendations. The direction this work is going seems to point
   towards the intention to throw away the EPDP recommendations related to
   SSAD. I'd like to know what the board thinks about this concern.



ICANN Leadership positions

   1.

   What is the Board’s take on the phenomenon of ICANN recycling veterans
   for leadership positions. Does the Board think it’s beneficial for the
   community to have the usual suspects rotating between leadership roles of
   different stakeholder groups?  How do we fix this if we agree this is a
   problem? How does the Board imagine its role in assisting the community to
   recruit more new blood?


NomCom

   1.

   *NCSG has been talking for a long time about the lack of proper
   representation at the NomCom, the current state of things is that this part
   of the community only holds one seat at the group - currently held by NCUC
   - and we trust this configuration is not really representative of the
   diversity of stakeholders within GNSO or even proportional if we consider
   that other SGs hold more than just one seat. Therefore we have a very
   simple question: is there a possibility of rebalancing the NomCom?*
