[PC-NCSG] Appoint Participants

[Edward Morris]

Hi everyone,
  
 The Council decided on its call today to hold a special meeting on February 29th to talk about the CCWG report. Thanks to the great effort of my fellow Councillors no vote will be taken during this meeting, giving us maximum leverage during the March 4th CCWG meeting.
  
 As noted below,  5-7 CCWG participants from the NCPH will be asked top join the call. I'm not sure how the NCPH will select the participants, I'm hoping Tapani or Amr can work that out, but I would ask that fuel consideration be given to the following CCWG participants should they wish to join the call:
  
 Avri Doria
 Farzi Badii
 Matt Shears
 Brett Schaefer
  
 Avri has been the ATRT rep to the CCWG and her 92.9% attendance record far surpasses any of our (non appointed Member) participants. Farzi is our expert on recommendation 10, perhaps the recommendation we are now most opposed to, and her attendance record of 68.9% is second of our participants who have been eligible to attend at least 2/3 of the meetings. Brett and Matt both have excellent attendance records, both have testified on the transition before Congress, and are our resident experts on the proposed structure of the new ICANN. I'll note that Robin Gross will be invited to the call as our CCWG Member, as will our six Councillors.
  
 I may have missed other participants of note; if so, hopefully someone will bring them to our attention.
  
 I'll leave this to Tapani or Amr ( our PC Chair for life? :) ) to sort. I just wanted to start the process to get our folks on the call.
  
 Thanks,
  
 Ed

 Councilors -
  
 Thanks for your effort, dedication and patience as we work through all of the issues currently on our agenda, while in parallel delivering on our responsibilities as a Chartering Organization for the CCWG-Accountablity.
  
 As discussed on today's call, we will go forward with the proposed Special Session on 29 FEB to consider and discuss the Supplemental Report from the CCWG-ACCT (expected publication: tomorrow).  On this call, we will not vote on any of the Recommendations, or the report itself.  There is no associated motion on the table.
  
 Instead, we will use this opportunity to exchange views on the Report, update the Council on the ongoing work within the various SGs/Cs in preparation for Marrakesh, and highlight any problem areas or "red flags" that have been identified in our discussions.
  
 Additionally, we will invite the Appointed Members and several key Participants from the CCWG-ACCT to join our discussions.  These will include:  Becky Burr, Steve DelBianco, Robin Gross, and Thomas Rickert.  I would ask that each House send along a list of 5-7 other key participants who should be invited to attend as well, with the goal of incorporating the diverse spectrum of GNSO positions, but not overloading our call.
  
 Finally, we agreed to re-purpose some of our time on Saturday in Marrakesh as a Public Session of the Council.  I'll work with the Vice Chairs and Staff to adjust our published agenda to reflect this.
  
 Thanks again-
  
 J.
