[PC-NCSG] Do we need to have a call?

Mon Nov 24 16:58:10 EET 2014

Hello,

I can see Steph?s point, but also agree we already have many calls to
attend. I think that the best way to go is to be more efficient and take
the most from the call we have. I have two suggestions:

- Could we agree on a date for our members who are part of WGs to report
back with key issues about the work of the WG that NCSG PC should take
position in the next mtg? This is based on WG agenda, not GNSO, so maybe we
would have more time to be informed about substantive things. Sharing
concrete and concise issues/questions about course of action would be
helpful. And setting a date would help us keep track of incoming info, I
think.

- I am missing a way to have a quick and clear view about what is going on
in the WGs, the stage of dicussions, the deadlines for action... all in one
focal point. Some time ago I made a spreadsheet that could be uploaded in
drive and shared among our members. I enclose the spreadsheet attached.
Although some ppl had the feeling that this spreadsheet would not be very
useful and would duplicate the space that we have here:
https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40928134 I would
like to make the suggestion again, because I feel the online space is: a)
incomplete; b) harder to keep updated than a drive file; c) Not enough
collaborative; d) completely public, so not good to share internal info
there.
<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40928134>

My two cents.
Thanks
Mar?lia

Avri suggested that given the workload and past experience with inconsistent chairing it?d be desirable to have a non-Councilor in the role (although then we have a chair elected by a constituency rather than the whole SG).  I?m not aware that the conversation has proceeded beyond this, has it?  It would seem pressing to resolve.
