[EC-NCSG] NCSG Membership Applications and EC Evaluation Procedures

[Dorothy K. Gordon]

I have noticed that Satish Babu appears twice as number 16 and number 33 in the list of the pending applications are these different people? Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Dear Rafik, Robin, Lori and al., 

Over these last days I have started to review the list of pending applications that Rafik kindly uploaded. Rafik answering a question I asked him told me I should review row 1 to 32 ie review 31 applications. I started doing it but realized the following: 

-the current list uploaded gathers pending applications and already approved applications; 
- Since Rafik had already worked on the list. I self-volunteered to also contribute and not bother Rafik anymore. This is why I proceeded, in the document that you will find attached, to separate what is labelled on the original list sent by Rafik as "pending" and what is labelled as "approved applications". They are three taps in the same Excel doc; 
-As a result of this, you will realize that instead of having 117 rows with mixed application status, now we have a list of strictly pending applications from row 1 to row 43 on one list which means that there are only 42 pending applications; 
-the 61 approved applications have been copied and pasted in the separate list; 
-Among those 42 applications I am aware of some who have been in the queue for quite some time now; 

I am proposing that instead of reviewing 31 applications we might as well review the 42 ie the whole batch. It does not really make sense (in my humble opinion) to left out 11 applications and it does not make a huge difference either. If we do this round, we might as well want to complete it once for all. 

Best regards,

Hi Marie-Laure, 


no problem, 
please review the application from row #2 to row # 30, they are the latest applications we should cover. 
for colors, they are used for old application we checked previously, maybe Robin can explain better about their meaning. 


best, 




Rafik

Dear Rafik, 


Thanks. I will have time to do this starting Wednesday, Thurday and Friday. Could you please explain to me if the colors have a particular meaning. I have not been able to figure it out... sorry :) 


Merci!

Hi Robin, 


sorry for delay, I updated the "pending applications" file, we have 29 applications to cover , for this week hopefully and I think that is doable. 
please check this file for review https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmHFgvYjF_e4dENsT21PLTFmeW9qZ2pLLWowc3RTbmc&usp=sharing . 
I will be glad to assist our new EC members regarding the review process 
In other hand, for a better applications solution, I will be glad to discuss with ICANN staff. 


Best, 




Rafik

Dear All: 

As you all know, we need an integrated membership database solution to manage the NCSG membership applications, membership rosters, etc. and ICANN hasn't yet provided a solution (although it said it was working on one for all of ICANN, not just NCSG). So in the meantime, we are using these Google docs spreadsheets to manage the membership data, even though it is rather cumbersome to navigate and far from the best solution. 

Reminder that the data for incoming NCSG Membership applications is stored in a spreadsheet and available to EC members here: 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ane1uzL43HhedDFhOWZOTEVhMzZUYUszVFhpX1JEU1E&usp=sharing 

The spreadsheet that keeps track of the immediately pending applications, including how each NCSG member votes on a given application is here: 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmHFgvYjF_e4dENsT21PLTFmeW9qZ2pLLWowc3RTbmc&usp=sharing 

I believe Rafik volunteered to update the immediately above PENDING applications link to reflect the new applications that have come in for evaluation in the last few weeks and that we need to evaluate now. 

Each NCSG EC member should then evaluate the application against NCSG's membership criteria and noncommercial mission and then we vote on the application's approval in the above link. Sometimes there are questions or info is not complete so follow-ups are needed with applicants. 

We can type our vote or comment directly into the PENDING spreadsheet so the discussion is all in one place and publicly available (and applicants can keep track of their application by looking at this link). We evaluate the data supplied by the applicant in the spreadsheet at 1st link (private) above, but we each vote in the spreadsheet 2nd link (public). Again, the need for an integrated membership database..... Thanks very much. 

Please let me know if you have any questions on this. 

Best, 
Robin
