[NCSG-EC] Fwd: [Ncph-intersessional2017] Board Seat Selection Process

Mon Feb 20 12:56:24 EET 2017

Hi everyone,

We got this note from Greg to resume the discussion on board seat election.
First thing, is it possible to get a summary of what or not agreed on
iceland on that regard from those who attended intersessional?

We also need to outline what are our non-negotiable points such as having
vote, NCA participation and so on.

I think tgat the CSG proposal from last week is far from our expectations.
There is also proposal to have a call. We can have it by end of this week
but we do need to be ready.

Best,

Rafik

All,

We probably need a different mailing list to finish working on the Board
Seat selection process, and a small group to do it, but I'll start here,
since I think this is the only active mailing list with both sides of the
NCPH on it.

We basically have no time to work this out, and we've already started the
process without knowing what it is exactly, since we have now received
nominations.

In addition to the adaptation of the CPH procedures previously circulated,
I'm also attaching the following for consideration:

1.  Some bullet-points from an exchange between CSG and NCSG
representatives outlining a potential draft process.
2.  The latest version of the ICANN Staff Memo with a revised draft
timeline and some relevant excerpts from Bylaws and GNSO Procedures.
3.  A further excerpt from the Bylaws, with Section 11.3(f), which covers
the selection process for Seats 13-14 (to the extent that is covered in the
Bylaws), and Section 11.3(h), which is referred to in Section 11.3(f).

A few thoughts and comments:

A.  We only have 10 1/2 weeks to both develop and go through a process that
is contemplated to take 21 weeks (just to go through).  Talk about building
the airplane in the air.

B.  At the Intersessional, we discussed possible adjustments to the
timeline, but did not come to any decisions.  It's not clear to me whether
Staff is preparing a further revised draft.  I'll ask.

C.  If any of our groups have not already done so, we should put out a call
for any other nominations ASAP (though it would be nice to know the end of
the nomination period).

D.  Without making any judgments, the CPH process and the NCPH
bullet-points are significantly different when it comes to voting.

E.  We should figure out how to get this process agreed as quickly as
possible.  Given the unusual circumstances, we don't need to use this
process as precedent for any future process.  We just need to get through
this selection.  One approach is for NCSG to respond to the draft sent at
the end of the Intersessional.  However, given the gap between that and the
bullet-points, it might just be better to arrange a call/Adobe Connect
session ASAP to move the ball forward.

Thanks for reading,

Greg

P.S.  It's not all that important how we got here, but nonetheless, it
should be noted that the GNSO Procedures were never updated from 2012, when
the Bylaws deadline for naming the Director was changed from one month to
two months (briefly) and then six months prior to being seated.  (The GNSO
Procedures will need to be updated in any event, since the Bylaws
references are now obsolete.))  The draft bullet-points repeated this error.

B.  Since we are doing this with very little time

Subject: Discussion Draft of Interim Board Selection Process
To: ncph-intersessional2017 at icann.org

NCSG/NCUC/NPOC Intersessional Participants,

The CSG prepared a "discussion draft" of a proposed interim Board Selection
Process based closely on the Final Process adopted by the Contracted
Parties House.  Clean and marked drafts are attached, showing changes from
the CPH document.

A Google Docs version can be found here, where any suggested changes can be
added in "suggest" mode (but everyone has "edit" rights):
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lx8jCTEWGAuPyPp
nL_RaHGum4dQXf2a1MTyYXx8O9dc/edit?usp=sharing

We would hope to use this for the current 2017 Board Seat process and then
revisit afterward before making it a permanent rather than "interim"
process.

This has not been reviewed by the membership of the IPC, BC and ISPCP, but
we wanted to start the discussion on this basis, given the short amount of
time we have for this year.

We look forward to your thoughts.

Thanks!

Greg (on behalf of BC/IPC/ISPCP Intersessional Teams)
