Which is odd when you think about it, because it is a matter of council representation, and councillors are members of the Policy Committee, but I guess the Charter design was (as always) to ensure independence of council member designation (i.e. they cannot stack their own deck). So we had a discussion at breakfast and went with Sam as alternate. time constraints kicked in.

Hello I didn?t want to get involved but seems like I have to since Rafik is on route and there is unclarity. To prevent further disagreement: I will not be an alternate for this meeting. 1. Appointing alternate is not a PC decision as Rafik said as well. It is an EC decision. Stephanie please take this to your EC. 2. Under no customary practice nor any procedures you have to appoint the person who got the council member funding as alternate. In fact the NCSG operating procedures about travel support allocation does not require this at all. I will dig out the link. If other people who the EC see as qualified are willing to step up then thats fine too. Appointment of alternate either Sam or someone else is within the EC responsibilities.

The organisation interest is in teaching other younger developers and students in Mauritius about the whole range of open protocols there is and how they can use these to better their community from it. Hackers.mu has been involved in a few ietf hackathons in the past. It has as well continuously kept doing regular developer formation throughout the Mauritus island for free. We do not do any commercial activities. We focus mainly on learning. The organisation is funded mainly by various Mauritian developers who live in different countries out of country, myself among. The hope is to create better developers with focus in using IT and opensource to help any in solving any societal problems we may have around. One example, we are working on some blood research with doctors so as we can quickly match up donors with patients who need it as well as help blood researchers perform research. It is still a work in progress, but we do not seek revenue whether directly or indirectly for these things. We seek only to empower our youth.

Message-ID: Hi all Action points from today on my part (I'll let Robin fill us in re her own; I suppose there are ;) ) - ALL: Look for alternatives to Wapix. In order for this to lead to something constructive and usable, I would kindly ask you to look for the following information: (1) The hourly rate for CIVIcrm web development and (2) the monthly rate for basic maintenance of a CIVIcrm database. Make sure to know what such rate includes (things like hosting, etc.) - Raoul: Map two things: (1) "political" structure of NCSG/NCUC/NPOC in a format understandable for someone who has no idea what we're up to. I think such a map/chart should include things like elections, appointments, memberships, etc. (2) "data processing" structure, that shows what kind of data inputs we have and how we process them (think of membership registration and elections, for example). I'm trying to phrase that in lay terms here; maybe what I'm writing doesn't make much sense from a data science perspective... - Me: Go back to Josh and discuss the following: (1) Can we extract data from CIVI and if so under what format or "conditions" (2) What's up with the options on their plans - Me: Put together all the Wapix expenses info from 2018 and 2019 and share it on list, so that both NCUC and NPOC EC can consult it and file it accordingly.

For this program, 1 (one) seat is reserved for a representative from the NCSG. The program is designed for current and incoming leaders, helping to increase understanding of the complexity of ICANN and to develop facilitation skills, as well as building a network with other leaders. We are aware that understanding ICANN as an organization, the topics discussed within ICANN, and interaction within other stakeholder groups can be challenging for incoming leaders, but sometimes also for experienced leaders. ICANN and the community are making considerable efforts in order to help incoming leaders have a good start to their terms and to provide current leaders the opportunity to strengthen their leadership and facilitation skills. Opportunities for Leadership Program participants include the following: * Meet leaders from the other SOs/ACs and get an insight of the functionality and issues in other groups * Discuss current ICANN topics in an in-depth manner * Deepen the understanding of key ICANN processes * Develop facilitation and leadership skills, focused personal effectiveness to run meetings and foster processes A preliminary program is attached to this email. Kindly note that this is subject to change. Accommodation for participants will be covered between Wednesday and Thursday, 4-5 March 2020, and participants will receive a stipend. Please note that flights will NOT be covered under this program, as incoming and current leaders are normally covered by the regular ICANN travel support. Please ensure that the leaders you select are being covered by ICANN Travel Support for their flights to Cancun for ICANN67. We would like to ask you to identify one incoming or current leader from your stakeholder group who is interested and available to participate in this program. We recommend that you also identify an alternate candidate. Kindly forward us the names and email addresses of the endorsed individuals no later than Wednesday, 13 November 2019, and ask them to register here [forms.gle] by Friday, 15 November 2019 at 23:59 UTC. We hope this program will meet the needs of your community. All participants will be encouraged to partake in an open exchange of their views, as this will help facilitate cross-constituency collaboration during their terms. We are very happy to answer any questions you may have on this exciting LP and look forward to having your group?s participants confirmed.

I think you're your biggest criticiser and taking the usual suspects and whining too personally. You might think that a vote of confidence was made, but I can assure you, the next chair will most likely be even less popular.

I do not appear to share the values of the group, and this troubles me deeply as I so not wish to lead a group of people who do not share my views as to what is right and what is wrong. If you would be so kind as to appoint an interim Chair, effective at the end of this meeting, I will step down and clear the field for candidates who are more in line with the views of the membership in terms of priorities, strategies, and acceptable behaviour. Hopefully we can get the election doen before Cancun. Thanks very much for all your support, it has been a great honour to serve with you.

I still think I have to deal with a significant demonstration of a lack of confidence in my leadership, but I am going to work on that. I will send a summary of the progress we made here in our meetings to the NCSG list, and I may mention that I was considering stepping down after our meeting Tuesday, just in case the rumour mill has caught up with me. I want to thank Raph for stepping forward to help and act as Interim leader, and I hope I can count on to help me with the job description for Chair. We can also work on interim standards for behaviour on the list and in face to face meetings, whcih I will of course send to all ECs prior to send to the list. It is clear that someone will have to stop disruptive behaviour and if the consensus is that it is the job of the Chair, then I shall tackle it, with reinforcement from the Ombudsman as necessary.

I am glad you were able to find the wider support among our leaders and members you were looking for. I had prepared a short list with a few examples of verbal abuse that would not be tolerated on list, on call or in person anymore. I will circulate that on the EC list today so that we can move forward quickly with that. It is somewhat of a superficial matter compared to other problems we are facing, and it would not be meant to tackle the whole range of problematic behaviours we are faced with. But at the same time I think it is important to restore our membership's confidence in the mailing list as a pleasant environment for policy discussions. As I have told you yesterday, I think that the solution lies more in regular small steps forward rather than long preparation for a single giant step.

As you have said Steph, I think at this point we need you to take a more active role in policing. It's sad, it feels child-like, but I think it is the unfortunate reality. I'm sure you aspire to do more interesting things as a chair, but at the same time only the chair has the legitimacy to put in place this kind of enforcement actions, I believe. So would be unacceptable: -Threats of taking certain matters to the ICANN ombudsman or some other authority; -Statements or implications which may be understood as reflecting negatively on someone's honor, character, ethics or morality. -- *Including* accusations that someone is engaging in violations of various laws, charters, bylaws, procedures, etc. I think the last one is useful to illustrate the necessity of context in evaluating behaviour in light of those standards. A point of procedure, or an honest question about the charter, can be raised without framing it as an accusation. Conversely, it is easy to weaponize that into an accusation. Also, this does not change anything in the right of ICANN community members to take any matter they wish to the Ombudsman or report any form of unacceptable behaviour to them, and to any relevant community leaders. Sanction: withdraw posting privilege from list and involve ombudsman. I'm not quite sure of modalities, like how long and at what point to involve the ombudsman. Anyhow let me know what you think.

Dear Maryam Bakoshi, ? I have been contacted by a participant at ICANN in regards to a complaint made against David Cake.

David Cake in no way has authority from the EFA board to do this. David was not renominated for the board in 2017. In 2018 he was renominated, however shortly after the board unanimously voted to remove him. He does not have any board approval to represent the organisation, he has not advised the board of any involvement, and has not reported back to the board at all. He has not been the Chair of EFA for the past two years, I have. David is still involved in the EFA policy committee, however he holds no position or authorisation, and his involvement over the past two years has been marginal.? ? I have emailed David to ask him to clarify and confirm that he is not participating in ICANN as a representative of EFA. If he is, it would be a breach of the organisations rules.

The complainant believes that you have misrepresented yourself, misappropriated NCSG travel resources, and cast votes in our elections when you were ineligible to do so. The complaint has been referred to the NCSG Executive Committee for investigation and sanctions if appropriate. I am citing below the statement of facts verbatim, as contaned in the complaint: ?* Statement of Facts * As recently as last week, on the public record Mr Cake introduced himself as a representative of Electronic Frontiers Australia (EFA) at ICANN 66. Mr Cake is listed as the representative of EFA on both the public NCSG members list and on the NPOC membership list. He includes this affiliation in his biography on the NPOC website. It has been on the basis of this affiliation that Mr Cake has been eligible to cast votes in NCSG elections as an organizational member and to utilize NPOC travel funding. I understand that EFA is classed by the NCSG as a large organization and therefore he has received 4 votes to cast in elections, rather than 1 as an individual member would receive. I have made contact with the Chair of EFA, Lyndsey Jackson, who has advised me that Mr Cake does not have authorization to represent EFA within NPOC, NCUC, NCSG, or ICANN more broadly, and has not since 2017. I have been told that he would be well aware of their protocols for representing EFA in external fora. I have provided Ms Jackson with the contact details for Maryam Bakoshi so that EFA may formally communicate this message to the EC. As Mr Cake does not have the permission of EFA to represent them within NPOC, and has not since 2017, I believe that the votes he has cast in recent elections should not have been admitted (though they do not change the ultimate outcome of the election). His use of NPOC resources to travel to ICANN meetings, as an organizational member, when not authorized to represent said organization, strikes me as unacceptable and a misappropriation of NCSG resources. I believe Mr Cake?s conduct here violates section 1.2.d of the NCSG charter, which says all NCSG members must act ?with honesty, sincerity, and integrity?, and threatens to bring the reputation of the NCSG into disrepute. [end of quotation] May I say that at a personal level, I am very sorry to be dealing with this unfortunate matter, but it is the duty of the Executive Committee of the NCSG, and the Chairs of the constituencies as appropriate, to investigate and take action if there is truth to these allegations. We would appreciate hearing your response and proposed remedies, if any, at your earliest convenience.

According to our records David Cake is only member as Organizational Representative for EFA, so we can let aside any thought about his individual membership. On the other hand, I was reading both NPOC and NCSG charter and I found the following: In NCSG charter says: "The Official Representative must be formally delegated authority to represent the Member Organization within NCSG? proceedings by an authorized officer or official of that Member Organization", forward it mention about loss of membership:"In the event that an NCSG member in good standing believes that membership is? held inappropriately by another organization or individual, a request can be made? to the NCSG EC to review whether the disputed member meets the criteria for? membership."?I have not found any other mention to sanction or penalties on this regard. Otherwise, in NPOC charter under?9.3 Privileges and Limitations says: "In the event the (NPOC) EC discovers that a member did not declare a potential conflict of interest, its membership shall be suspended by the EC for six (6) months."?

Dear Maryam Bakoshi, ? I have been contacted by a participant at ICANN in regards to a complaint made against David Cake. While I do not wish to make any judgement on the complaint of the process, one thing that is very concerning is that this person is under the impression that David Cake has been participating on behalf of Electronic Frontiers Australia as a representative to the Not-for-Profit Operational Concerns Constituency of ICANN. ? David Cake in no way has authority from the EFA board to do this. David was not renominated for the board in 2017. In 2018 he was renominated, however shortly after the board unanimously voted to remove him. He does not have any board approval to represent the organisation, he has not advised the board of any involvement, and has not reported back to the board at all. He has not been the Chair of EFA for the past two years, I have. David is still involved in the EFA policy committee, however he holds no position or authorisation, and his involvement over the past two years has been marginal.? ? I have emailed David to ask him to clarify and confirm that he is not participating in ICANN as a representative of EFA. If he is, it would be a breach of the organisations rules. I have also asked that he emails you to ask that this page be updated as a priority to remove the line about David being the EFA chair?https://npoc.org/leadership/ [npoc.org]?- I do expect him to do this, however would like this updated as a matter of priority regardless.? ? I would also request that if there are any other materials, online profiles, or places where his representation of EFA is stated that that too be updated with the EFA reference removed.? ? I realise post ICANN it's probably a busy time for you, but when appropriate I would very much value you being in touch to advise on how EFA can continue appropriate representation in ICANN going forward.? ?

I am not accusing anyone of fraud at this point, we have only heard one side of the story. However, as a responsible and accountable organization, we should in my view make the organization (i.e. ICANN Travel in this case) aware that we were unaware that one of our members was not eligible for membership/funding. All in good time, of course. We have yet to hear from David, and I am sincerely hoping this is not as bad as it looks. cheers Stephanie On 2019-11-15 08:52, Raoul Plommer wrote: I think removing membership from NPOC is punishment enough, to be honest and we already did that, at least on our list of members.

Lyndsey Jackson and have substantially different understanding. I was clear in previous communication both Lyndsey personally and to the EFA board that I was still active within ICANN on behalf of EFA. While I am no longer a board member of EFA, I am a member of the EFA policy committee (in 2018 I was the vice-Chair), and eligible to represent ICANN within policy processes. In particular, I sent the EFA board a long message regarding representing EFA within ICANN processes in 2018, including that I received travel support. I have explicitly been appointed by a representative of EFA in the past, it has never been withdrawn or changed, and the board has been informed of my work and role within ICANN sufficiently in the past that if they wished to change it, or learn in more detail, they had opportunity. I have certainly believed in good faith that the board understood that I was participating in ICANN processes on behalf of EFA, and it was discussed within the policy committee of EFA at several points. I believe that the NCSG EC should wait to clarify the outcome of EFA internal discussion before acting - I have in fact been given no opportunity as yet to discuss the issue internally. While I will continue to discuss the issue with the EFA board, and they may wish to appoint a different representative, I do not believe they are able to do so retrospectively. I do not believe there is any lack of validity of my previous appointment. Any confusion I regret, and I was participating in ICANN processes with the sincere belief that the policy committee of EFA was aware of ICANN work. Obviously if I no longer represent an organisation, I no longer am able to be active within NPOC. I will apply for individual membership of NCUC/MCSG.

I am inclined to believe you were acting in good faith, however you will understand that if we receive an email from the chair EFA telling us that you are not authorized to represent them, our only choice is to remove that affiliation from our records, public and private. As a consequence, this mechanically removes you from NPOC. You are free obviously to clear up whatever needs to be cleared up with EFA; whether you represented them at a certain point in time or not. Do note however that the request we received concern only present public and internal NCSG-related (including NPOC and NCUC) records; we were not asked to retroactively act on every entry where your name and affiliation is mentioned in relation to past event or involvement, and we were not asked either to act upon every single place online that mentions you and that affiliation. Anyhow, this is all between you and EFA; if the result of that discussion is that you are indeed their confirmed representative, it will not be complicated to list you as such in our records. I look forward to your continuous involvement in NCSG.

If you have any documentation to support the discussion on policy committee at EFA it would be most welcome, however, as you suggest, we will wait until you have clarified the matter with the EFA. I hope that this can result in an email of clarification from the head of the organization. In the meantime, we look forward to receiving your application as an individual member to NCSG/NCUC. Kind regards, Stephanie Perrin NCSG Chair On 2019-11-15 11:19, David Cake wrote: I thank you for your communication. Lyndsey Jackson and have substantially different understanding. I was clear in previous communication both Lyndsey personally and to the EFA board that I was still active within ICANN on behalf of EFA. While I am no longer a board member of EFA, I am a member of the EFA policy committee (in 2018 I was the vice-Chair), and eligible to represent ICANN within policy processes. In particular, I sent the EFA board a long message regarding representing EFA within ICANN processes in 2018, including that I received travel support. I have explicitly been appointed by a representative of EFA in the past, it has never been withdrawn or changed, and the board has been informed of my work and role within ICANN sufficiently in the past that if they wished to change it, or learn in more detail, they had opportunity. I have certainly believed in good faith that the board understood that I was participating in ICANN processes on behalf of EFA, and it was discussed within the policy committee of EFA at several points. I believe that the NCSG EC should wait to clarify the outcome of EFA internal discussion before acting - I have in fact been given no opportunity as yet to discuss the issue internally. While I will continue to discuss the issue with the EFA board, and they may wish to appoint a different representative, I do not believe they are able to do so retrospectively. I do not believe there is any lack of validity of my previous appointment. Any confusion I regret, and I was participating in ICANN processes with the sincere belief that the policy committee of EFA was aware of ICANN work. Obviously if I no longer represent an organisation, I no longer am able to be active within NPOC. I will apply for individual membership of NCUC/MCSG. Regards David On 15 Nov 2019, at 1:32 am, Stephanie Perrin wrote: I have received a complaint regarding your conduct, as well as an email from EFF Australia supporting the allegations in the complaint. The complainant believes that you have misrepresented yourself, misappropriated NCSG travel resources, and cast votes in our elections when you were ineligible to do so. The complaint has been referred to the NCSG Executive Committee for investigation and sanctions if appropriate. I am citing below the statement of facts verbatim, as contaned in the complaint: * Statement of Facts * As recently as last week, on the public record Mr Cake introduced himself as a representative of Electronic Frontiers Australia (EFA) at ICANN 66. Mr Cake is listed as the representative of EFA on both the public NCSG members list and on the NPOC membership list. He includes this affiliation in his biography on the NPOC website. It has been on the basis of this affiliation that Mr Cake has been eligible to cast votes in NCSG elections as an organizational member and to utilize NPOC travel funding. I understand that EFA is classed by the NCSG as a large organization and therefore he has received 4 votes to cast in elections, rather than 1 as an individual member would receive. I have made contact with the Chair of EFA, Lyndsey Jackson, who has advised me that Mr Cake does not have authorization to represent EFA within NPOC, NCUC, NCSG, or ICANN more broadly, and has not since 2017. I have been told that he would be well aware of their protocols for representing EFA in external fora. I have provided Ms Jackson with the contact details for Maryam Bakoshi so that EFA may formally communicate this message to the EC. As Mr Cake does not have the permission of EFA to represent them within NPOC, and has not since 2017, I believe that the votes he has cast in recent elections should not have been admitted (though they do not change the ultimate outcome of the election). His use of NPOC resources to travel to ICANN meetings, as an organizational member, when not authorized to represent said organization, strikes me as unacceptable and a misappropriation of NCSG resources. I believe Mr Cake?s conduct here violates section 1.2.d of the NCSG charter, which says all NCSG members must act ?with honesty, sincerity, and integrity?, and threatens to bring the reputation of the NCSG into disrepute. [end of quotation] May I say that at a personal level, I am very sorry to be dealing with this unfortunate matter, but it is the duty of the Executive Committee of the NCSG, and the Chairs of the constituencies as appropriate, to investigate and take action if there is truth to these allegations. We would appreciate hearing your response and proposed remedies, if any, at your earliest convenience.

I believe he has responded, so we will have to be patient and see what the situation is with EFA. In light of this though, I think NPOC needs to have a two step verification process, first the approval through NCSG and then NPOC sends an email to the Board outlining the roles and responsibilities of a Organization Representative. I'll discuss this with Juan further.

It does look like I'm talking over you, and my good intentions do not excuse the appearances :( First: as a representative of an org, was David a "member" to start with? Recall how orgs are seemingly able to replace their reps just by sending a notice; what's the difference between such cases and the present one? I'm not quite familiar enough with organizational membership, so kindly chime in. More generally, who are the members of NPOC? The orgs, or the reps? Or both? Second: I understand that David was not a member of NCUC, but a rep of an org who was (and still is, I suppose) a member of NCUC? I'm referencing to the fact that he was on the NCUC EC up to recently. The way I understand it, the current "procedure" is not one to strip him of membership, but more to remove him as the representative of an org upon the request of the person we have listed as the manager/director of that org. Whether EFA's "statutes" or anything else entitle that person to do that frolm their internal perspective is another matter, but I do not think that as a rule we should second guess these kinds of requests, lest we become embroiled in a conflict completely external to NCSG. We should not be mediating the conflict between David and EFA about who they appoint to ICANN stuff and how they do it... Maybe there are some procedure for that kind of situation somewhere in NPOC when it come to org reps? But I cannot find for NCSG. Now, without that representative position, he cannot participate in NCSG through NPOC, but that's not because he's "kicked out" or anything. It's more like an technical (not to use logical) outcome, if you see with I mean. It's not meant as a punishment or some form of disciplinary action, it's just the way it is? There might be a legitimate misunderstanding between the parties involved here, so I would think that his simple removal as a representative is enough for now. And I dont think the EFA chair asked for anything else from us either. And thank you for your initiative Joan.

Well, if you'd _really_ want to stretch it that far, perhaps. Spending your energy on pursuing this... what looks vengeful from start, is not going to be good for our community in any way. Since status is now up-to-date, what else do you think we could realistically be gaining here? I mean, seriously? The bottom line is, that I think Dave would've done exactly the same amount of work for NPOC during his time with us, was he a legitimate OR of EFA or not. If somebody should be pursuing misappropriated travel funds, it should be NPOC and I don't honestly see a case for any fruitful pursuance here. -Raoul > > On Fri, 15 Nov 2019 at 23:19, Rapha?l Beauregard-Lacroix < rbeauregardlacroix at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all > > Apologies again and specially to Stephanie.

This is financial accountability 101....we have to investigate the use of funds by persons who may not have been legitimate members. I am not ascribing anything at all to David at this time, we have yet to see how the two very different stories mesh. But let us be clear, this is not "vengeful", it is our duty as an EC to investigate.

Well, if you'd _really_ want to stretch it that far, perhaps. Spending your energy on pursuing this... what looks vengeful from start, is not going to be good for our community in any way. Since status is now up-to-date, what else do you think we could realistically be gaining here? I mean, seriously? The bottom line is, that I think Dave would've done exactly the same amount of work for NPOC during his time with us, was he a legitimate OR of EFA or not. If somebody should be pursuing misappropriated travel funds, it should be NPOC and I don't honestly see a case for any fruitful pursuance here. -Raoul On Fri, 15 Nov 2019 at 23:19, Rapha?l Beauregard-Lacroix > wrote: Hi all Apologies again and specially to Stephanie.

I'm not quite familiar enough with organizational membership, so kindly chime in. More generally, who are the members of NPOC? The orgs, or the reps? Or both? Second: I understand that David was not a member of NCUC, but a rep of an org who was (and still is, I suppose) a member of NCUC? I'm referencing to the fact that he was on the NCUC EC up to recently. The way I understand it, the current "procedure" is not one to strip him of membership, but more to remove him as the representative of an org upon the request of the person we have listed as the manager/director of that org. Whether EFA's "statutes" or anything else entitle that person to do that frolm their internal perspective is another matter, but I do not think that as a rule we should second guess these kinds of requests, lest we become embroiled in a conflict completely external to NCSG. We should not be mediating the conflict between David and EFA about who they appoint to ICANN stuff and how they do it... Maybe there are some procedure for that kind of situation somewhere in NPOC when it come to org reps? But I cannot find for NCSG. Now, without that representative position, he cannot participate in NCSG through NPOC, but that's not because he's "kicked out" or anything. It's more like an technical (not to use logical) outcome, if you see with I mean. It's not meant as a punishment or some form of disciplinary action, it's just the way it is? There might be a legitimate misunderstanding between the parties involved here, so I would think that his simple removal as a representative is enough for now.

While I do not wish to make any judgement on the complaint of the process, one thing that is very concerning is that this person is under the impression that David Cake has been participating on behalf of Electronic Frontiers Australia as a representative to the Not-for-Profit Operational Concerns Constituency of ICANN. David Cake in no way has authority from the EFA board to do this. David was not renominated for the board in 2017. In 2018 he was renominated, however shortly after the board unanimously voted to remove him. He does not have any board approval to represent the organisation, he has not advised the board of any involvement, and has not reported back to the board at all. He has not been the Chair of EFA for the past two years, I have. David is still involved in the EFA policy committee, however he holds no position or authorisation, and his involvement over the past two years has been marginal. I have emailed David to ask him to clarify and confirm that he is not participating in ICANN as a representative of EFA. If he is, it would be a breach of the organisations rules. I have also asked that he emails you to ask that this page be updated as a priority to remove the line about David being the EFA chair https://npoc.org/leadership/ [npoc.org] - I do expect him to do this, however would like this updated as a matter of priority regardless. I would also request that if there are any other materials, online profiles, or places where his representation of EFA is stated that that too be updated with the EFA reference removed. I realise post ICANN it's probably a busy time for you, but when appropriate I would very much value you being in touch to advise on how EFA can continue appropriate representation in ICANN going forward.

I am not accusing anyone of fraud at this point, we have only heard one side of the story. However, as a responsible and accountable organization, we should in my view make the organization (i.e. ICANN Travel in this case) aware that we were unaware that one of our members was not eligible for membership/funding.

I still have to clarify that with Josh. But: . 95$/hr for web development for a US/Canada based company is rather standard; someone who begins would charge less, with the downside of added risk. . while 300 to 500$/month for "support and maintenance" is more on the high side, it remains that CIVI hosting is not just like any other type of backend. It requires someone who knows what theyre doing (i.e. who knows how to handle that CRM). Still, I find their 99$ price point on hosting a bit high. I'll see what can be done with that. . I could find some public price points for CIVI monthly packages, in the low 100's, but they did not include any dev time nor technical support, nor backups, not virtual server for testing, nor ddos protection, etc. etc. . Finally, we are looking at at least a few if not several thousands of dollars in "discovery" fees for onboarding a new company or individual. We were to pick an individual consultant, it might be more of a few rather than several, but think about it this way: onboarding is at least 20 hours of work, and most likely more than that, so minimally 2000$ - more likely towards or above 3k. . And maybe most importantly, subject to verification as Steph required, we have a 9000$/year allocation by ICANN. If we don't use that money on these services, it's just not spent, we don't get to bank it or use it on travel support... Given that we have a good relationship with Wapix already, I feel it would be a better investment of these monies to continue with them. That being said, our current system is I would say barely usable, and I heard all of you express dissatisfaction with it. I also share this feeling. Now the thing is, even if Wapix ended up being slightly above market price, I would not be in favour of spending my time working on switching right away, for the following reasons: I understand that a lot of things Wapix does are things we can do "on our own," but I don't think that seeing things this way is sustainable. We cannot rely on the fact that we would always have someone ready *and* able to take care of these things (and as a matter of fact, we have no one now). In that sense, the only longer-term sustainable solution is to have someone do it for us. Let's say we pick an individual consultant who begins and will do it for cheap. Great, we just saved a few 1000's over a year. Then, one year later, said person, because theyre skilled, finds a higher paying job in a company. Now we've lost our consultant, must look again, pay discovery fees again, etc. Do note that we faced a similar situation with Wapix, were our main POC left the company and left us in a limbo for several weeks. However we were spared new discovery fees once we got someone assign to us. In addition, if we only pay the monthly fee and don't buy any development time now, we are paying for a system we are not satisfied with, while we have the opportunity to spend to try and make it better. So subject to discussion with Josh for the points that need clarification, I would suggest that we go with the cheaper option which includes less monthly tickets and less development time included, but that we also buy more time. How much, I don't know; at least one 10 hour block. Given that Maryam is the prime user of the system right now, I would take it upon myself to work with her to make sure that every dev hour is spent on something that makes her life more easy (and incidentally, ours). We used the previous dev time to fix the really outstanding issues, get ourselves a minimally workable front end, and to cover up for emergency issues that arose with the elections. Now I think we can try to capitalize on that and make some further progress. And as an additional note, Wapix SLA is rather open; we need one month's notice to terminate. So if any of you is willing to put the time and effort required to come up with a workable and financially advantageous switch-over plan, eventually asking for an ABR when the time comes and if we need it, or cutting some deal with NPOC and NCUC for more money as we've done in the past, it will always be time to use up our dev time and do the switch. You are free and welcome to start working on that right away, I have absolutely no problem with that, on the contrary. But for now, I would rather use the time I can dedicate to that task and the money we have available, in order to improve the systems we have rather than coming up with another plan. And to end, some numbers: 400/month*12 is 4800. That leaves us up to 30 hours of dev time we could buy before topping our allocation. Do note that I'm not in favor of topping it, I'm just giving these out so we know what ballpark we're playing in. The final decision belongs to the EC collectively so I'm looking to hear from you all on that. I will schedule a call with Josh early next week to discuss our questions (those we discussed in Montreal) and anything else, and will share the details on list so you can all join. CCed techteam list for information purposes. Have a nice day, -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We had a very productive discussion in the Montreal NCSG-EC meeting about the upcoming constituency review process. We went over the draft outlining the proposed process and criteria for the exercise, and there was great feedback about suggested improvements and places that needs more clarity. See: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FuLOjI-g-HaaKtdc9CQ6DkDJ7rWMHfaLlOb63ZHdYm0/edit?usp=sharing So I propose that I revise this draft accordingly in the next couple of weeks before we sign-on to the final plan and kick off the process.

Why has hosting doubled in price for the coming year? We were satisfied with the hosting service in general and would like to keep it at the previous price. ? We have been paying for the SMTP Email Framework option for the past year; this was not suggested for next year. We are not clear on what this option does, and did we end up ?using? it at all? ? Optional rider you suggested is priced at 87.50/m, so 1050/y, while your previous email suggested the price would be in the 900/y range? More of a technical question: It is my understanding (from the documentation) that it is possible to export all contact information (including relationships, etc.) in the form of a CSV file from the UI using the search function. Is it so? And finally it seems that CIVI itself is due for an update. We?d like to make sure this kind of update is included in the monthly SLA and more generally. which are the updates that you do and those that require dev time (we know PHP requires dev time as we discussed previously).

I'll offer a few responses and then we can discuss in more detail at the meeting. 1) This fee is an access fee. It is the cost associated with us not being able to use our normal systems because your site is hosted by someone else. Unfortunately (for us), when your last contract was written someone made a mistake and charged you the wrong amount. So far we have simply been eating this cost, but it is time to get it corrected.2) The email sending framework is an email sending service that offers superior handling of email particularly?for large mailings. However, since you never used it, we assumed you are fine with your current mailing settings and have removed it from the proposal.3) 10 hour development blocks are selling for $950 each until the end of the year. Starting January 1, 2019, the cost for a 10 hour development block will increase to $1050 due to increasing labor costs. 4) Yes, many types of exports are possible from CiviCRM. However, there are limitations on how much can be exported at once mostly based on your site's capacity to handle the load. We can look at how this works on our call.5) We take your site security seriously and are currently rolling out CiviCRM security upgrades to our client sites including yours. Several things guide how this process works. a) Critical server upgrades are applied automatically with two caveats. If you site cannot support the upgrade or if the upgrade ends up breaking your site, we will reach out to you for guidance on how you wish to proceed. (These two situations often require development work charged against a development block.) Otherwise, we will inform you when testing is complete and the timing for when upgrades will be applied to your live site. The automatic application of critical security updates is covered under your normal SLA.b) Non-critical updates can be applied on request or automatically if you so desire. These will use up 1 or more of your monthly support incidents depending on what upgrades are requested. Otherwise there is no additional cost unless these upgrades end up breaking your site. If that happens, the fixes required can be handled either under your new Tier 2 hours or under a development block. Hope this clarifies a few things. Looking forward to chatting more soon!
