[PC-NCSG] Appoint Participants

Tue Feb 23 06:34:54 EET 2016

I?m happy with this plan, a good mix of speakers. 

As I?ve pointed out recently, I actually live in the worlds most populous time zone (by a wide margin), 24% of the worlds population in the same time zone as me, so it seems particularly problematic that ICANN is usually so bad for it. That said, I usually have it better than the other Australians (midnight for me is 2-3am for them).

If I'm awake: calls at 4 am and 6 am highlight my night tonight. I need a new time zone: I'm starting to feel like an honorary Australian ( I feel your normal pain David!).

That way, we?d guarantee getting one of our members in on the discussion, as well as lower the number of guests we would like to invite.

Please take over (you are PC Chair for life, no....or until we get human rights into the bylaws, that damn torture thing  :) ) from me if you'd like to make this a NCPH thing, which is appropriate. I just don't have the time to engage in diplomatic niceties at the moment, give the recent implosion on the CCWG.

My impression is that we?re more-or-less aligned with the CSG on what we want to see coming out of the CCWG recommendations at this point.

I?m sure you and the rest of the NCSG team on the CCWG know the ins and outs of this more intimately than I (and perhaps Tapani) do. I would feel happy with you all starting this discussion with the CSG folks, but please do keep it on the NCPH list.

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:
>>>>>

>>>>>

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.

>>>>> 
>>>>> 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.
