[NCSG-EC] ICANN76 Board Questions/Topics

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Heya, Julf, I'm not sure whether we had another meeting with the board
since I left the chair position but the questions we asked at ICANN75 were
the following (a bit different than the ones you mentioned):

PDPs Effectiveness and Volunteer fatigue

   1.

   NCSG would like to discuss Board Approval, implementation by ICANN org
   and delays of several PDPs - something we have already discussed with you
   in previous occasions. If we look at processes such as the EPDP related
   ones I think we can find a good example due to the fact that even despite
   the fact that the board didn't yet approve phase 2 recommendation, which
   were submitted in 2020, there is talk about the design paper of SSAD light.
   And in the past years, I guess we started gathering more examples of where
   the development process drags on for far too long and the implementation
   becomes the place de facto to redo policy recommendations.

→ So NCSG would like to request the board for comments about the current
speed or even how do you plan to work together with GNSO and its groups on
possible improvements to the PDPs timeline and so on.
 What efforts are channeled to keep the people in the community from
volunteer fatigue?

Whois Disclosure System

   1.

   The recently published Whois Disclosure System design paper mentioned a
   risk that the system might not provide actionable data for use to answer
   questions raised by the SSAD ODA and this makes us a little concerned about
   the EPDP recommendations. The direction this work is going seems to point
   towards the intention to throw away the EPDP recommendations related to
   SSAD. I'll like to know what the board thinks about this concern.


NomCom

   1.

   NCSG has been talking for a long time about the lack of proper
   representation at the NomCom, the current state of things is that this part
   of the community only holds one seat at the group - currently held by NCUC
   - and we trust this configuration is not really representative of the
   diversity of stakeholders within GNSO or even proportional if we consider
   that other SGs hold more than just one seat. Therefore we have a very
   simple question: is there a possibility of rebalancing the NomCom?


Extra one

   1.

   We recently submitted a letter to the board with a CCWP-HR  Human Rights
   Impact Assessment for ICANN’s System for Standardized Access/Disclosure
   (SSAD) and Operational Design Assessment (ODA) Recommendations. And in
   light of that we were wondering that the last ORG wide HRIA was done in
   2019 so we have a few questions: what's the stake of recommendation
   implementation ? Is there going to be another one ? If so, when ?


Best,
Bruna
