I thought we were going to send a note saying we endorse the stmt.  We can probably still do that IF we do it TODAY.

Thanks,
Robin

If so, we could take it up with Keith and others and ask for tweaks before signing on.  If not, wouldn?t it make sense to sign on?

They are supposed to be coordination and info sharing discussions, not an off-the-books decision making channel, but if there are concerns about this then let?s suggest a process, or at least define one for our side.  The below exchange from the last call may be of interest in this context.

Just briefly, Fadi, I'm sure we all appreciate the intention of what you?ve just said, and the spirit of it, it's very much welcome, I think it is definitely the case that more often dialogue and opportunities to communicate frankly with each other, about possible misperceptions and the accumulated understandings would be really, really constructive. And this mechanism that you are suggesting sounds like it could be useful.

There are some concern, I think, amongst some people in the community about the whole process of having this kind of shares-based [chairs-based] way of interacting, and we haven?t even figured out, I think, ourselves how -- what the rules of the game are in some respects, with regard to how do other people in the community participate? What is the understanding as to what we can decide or tell you, and so on, what kind of internal coordination does each group do within its group of -- with each Chair, with each group before we have these discussions, and so on.

And I would say that if you are going to do these roundtables, which is, as I say, a constructive idea, we might want to consider, perhaps, including other people sometime, as well, not just Chairs, because if people -- we have a little bit of an issue already, with the fact that the SO/AC their own list is now publicly archived; a lot of people were asking me what's going on in this group. It's not transparent, what is this whole new channel that's been created for decision-making, how does that fit with bottom-up spirit? So, I hope we sort that out, and I hope we can maybe involve other more directly in the process too. Thanks.

I mean, clearly we can, obviously share with people that there are no decisions being made in these meetings, and maybe before you come to these roundtables, given that they've elected you to certain roles. Maybe you could seek input from them. Say, what is it you want us to tell Fadi and his staff to improve, so this becomes -- and then we will have a running list of things, and we can leave these things completely transparent, and transcribed. Whatever will height -- certainly we could have roundtables with, say, I don't know, 100 people, but I just think the dynamic will be different.

So guide me, I'm very open, and I just to find a way, frankly, to avoid finding ourselves with the gulf that happened culminating in Istanbul, which is, if we had not all stepped back away from that abyss, frankly we would have been in a not very good place, certainly (inaudible) all of us.

I think this draft cross community submission is great and addresses many of the concerns we had previously raised with ICANN's current accountability plan.  It also proposes a few concrete suggestions for improving this process.  I hope NCSG will endorse this cross community statement.
