[PC-NCSG] Draft comments to the AoC/Organisational review schedule public comment

[Edward Morris]

Hi Amr. 

I've modified my views a bit after thinking a bit about the impact of the accountability reforms on the SOAC's. All of these groups could be very different creatures depending upon the form accountability will take. Will they become legal persons? If so, charters will need to be redone and, in some cases, created. Will there be accountability requirements imposed upon the groups? If so, we may be reviewing an organization much different than what it is to become. I'm not sure how valuable a review would be in that case.

Initially I was going to suggest a postponement of the ATRT reviews as well, but a post by Avri where she wrote that something was always going on in ICANN-land (my words, not hers) and stressed the importance of the Accountability reviews caused me to reconsider.

If we are going ahead with the org reviews I do think at large should go first because it arguably has the most to reform and is larger than the other two.

 I'm happy to support a statement with views different than my own because there are a number of reasonable positions on this matter. There is a lot more in the proposed submission that I agree with than not - my own views were submitted in a personal comment so will be represented in the staff report - so do support submission in whatever way you deem appropriate.

If the organizational reviews are to go forward I would prioritize the at large review given the relative importance of the group to proposed reforms.

It doesn?t make much sense to me to perform a WHOIS review when the WHOIS may change significantly. Also not sure how many volunteers would want to focus on working with a WHOIS review team while the post-EWG PDP is going on.
