Dear Farzaneh, Tapani, and Joan,

Following are my notes from our NCPH meeting on 1 November. This is not
intended as a “formal meeting report.” Rather, it is an informal account
based on my hand-written notes. In particular, I tried to capture our
discussion about potential Intersessional topics – a few of which differ
from the current draft agenda (attached). We may want to refer to these
meeting notes during the 14 November Intersessional planning call and urge
some revisions to the draft agenda developed by ICANN staff. Just a
suggestion …

Best regards,

Barbara Wanner

BC Representative to the CSG

   - *CSG Meeting with other members of the Non-Contracted Party House *–
   On 1 November, the CSG and NCSG convened as the Non-Commercial Party House
   to become better acquainted with the structure and of each house as well as
   consider processes and possible topics for the 1-2 February NCPH
   Intersessional in Los Angeles. Highlights of the meeting include:

o   *Productive Intersessional* – Participants agreed that a successful
Intersessional requires careful planning, involving Adobe chat sessions
every two weeks or so in the run-up to the February meeting and the
assignment of a member from each House to lead discussion on a topic.
Members further agreed that engagement with ICANN senior staff should be
determined by the topics to be explored at the meeting. Finally, it was
noted that the remote participation helped to ensure broader participation
within each House at the February 2017 Intersessional in Iceland and should
be requested for the LA meeting.

o   *Importance of Developing Intra-House Processes* – Participants
expressed interest in developing a list of inter-House processes for which
we need to agree on procedures. Specifically, we should re-visit our
efforts at the February 2017 Intersessional to develop procedures governing
the selection of Board Seat #14. This should include a clear timetable, so
we all are aware of deadlines for candidate nomination, formal selection,
etc. It was proposed that we use the LA meeting to come to reach a
consensus among Intersessional participants, with the understanding they
each constituency would take this back for vetting before there is a final
agreement.

o   *Potential Topics for Intersessional Discussion * – The following
topics were proposed, and the approach used at the Iceland meeting was
strong encouraged (i.e., selecting a member from each House to work
together in developing an outline that would tee up discussion by the
broader group):

§  The roles of the Board and the GAC post-IANA transition (e.g., handling
of .amazon issue)

§  The roles of the Board and the SO/ACs in community-driven reviews (SSR2
example)

§  Discussion of a few of the nine Workstream 2 topics
<https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+SubGroup+Topics> – how do the
two Houses feel about the recommendations? Participants expressed interest
in further discussing transparency issues that go beyond the WS2 mandate as
well as the recommendations of the jurisdiction subgroup. Others subgroup
topics also may be explored.

§  The status of GDPR compliance

o   What are the policy topics on which we agree – and sharply disagree? It
was proposed that we use the coming weeks to develop a compendium of those
issues. This would help us to understand where there is potential to
collaborate in making an NCPH submission of comments.

o   All participants were strongly encouraged to participate in the NCPH
planning call on Tuesday, 14 November, 14:000 UTC.
