[NCSG-EC] rescinding my resignation from the position of Chair of NCSG

[Stephanie Perrin]

I think that is a great idea Raph, and I am working on a grid to evaluate issues.  I think it iwill take usa while to agree how to actually analyze an issue, what criteria to use (eg on occupying two positions:  fundamental fairness in encouraging all members to have an opportunity to participate, effective use of available ICANN travel support, conflict of interest between two constituencies/SG or ACs, etc)

There will be different criteria for different issues, hence the grid.  All criteria must map to agreed values.

Baby steps...

Hi Stephanie,

Thank you for your message. 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.

Have a nice day,

Best,

After considerable thought, I am rescinding my resignation as Chair, based on the supportive messages I have received from a number of members and leaders in our group.  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.

Thank you for bearing with me during what has been a difficult time.  I look forward to your help and cooperation as we move forward to improve the functioning of our stakeholder group.

Kind regards

Stephanie Perrin
