[NCSG-EC] Work Stream 2 Recommendations

[Johan Helsingius]

Dear all,

CANN org conducted a mapping inventory of WS2 Recommendations 2 and 6
(Good Faith and Accountability) for each Supporting Organization (SO),
Advisory Committee (AC), Regional At Large Organization (RALO), GNSO
Stakeholder Group (SG), and GNSO Constituency (C).

The inventory they produced for NCSG is here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xxPZjIjrjLBiKjcgWKbhhxWhbsBdcRudCqRDl4W5UlY/edit#gid=0

We are asked to confirm the accuracy of the list and determine if
further work is needed.

The specific points are:

-SO/AC/Groups should document their procedures for non-members to
   challenge decisions regarding their eligibility to become a member.
- SO/AC/Groups should document unwritten procedures and customs
   that have been developed in the course of practice, and make them
   part of their procedural operation documents, charters, and/or bylaws.
- Each year, SO/AC/Groups should publish a brief report on what they
   have done during the prior year to improve accountability,
   transparency, and participation, describe where they might have fallen
   short, and any plans for future improvements.
- Where membership must be applied for, there should be a process of
   appeal when application for membership is rejected.
- Each SO/AC/Group should create a committee (of appropriate size) to
   manage outreach programs to attract additional eligible members,
   particularly from parts of their targeted community that may not be
   adequately participating.
- Outreach objectives and potential activities should be mentioned in
   SO/AC/Group bylaws, charter, or procedures
- Each SO/AC/Group should have a strategy for outreach to parts of their
   targeted community that may not be significantly participating at the
   time, while also seeking diversity within membership.
- Each SO/AC/Group should review its policies and procedures at regular
   intervals and make changes to operational procedures and charter as
   indicated by the review.
- Members of SO/AC/Groups should be involved in reviews of policies and
   procedures and should approve any revisions.
- Internal reviews of SO/AC/Group policies and procedures should not be
   prolonged for more than one year, and temporary measures should be
   considered if the review extends longer.

Is this in the domain of the PC or the EC?

Would it make sense to try to form a small team to look at this?
