[NCSG-PC] GNSO Council strategic planning session - first draft agenda for your input

Mon Nov 13 15:24:26 EET 2017

Hi all,

My quick comment here is that i would strongly suggest we move the content
of Day 3 to Day 2.

The actual work, IMO, where we will be discussing is Day 3, i would love to
see this planning happen on Day 2 so that we have more time and in the
event we don't cover everything, we can take part of Day 3 for that. But if
we fail to finish everything on day 3 and we need to expand discussion, we
will not be able to do that because we will going into other businesses.

Thanks,
Arsene

> Hi Ayden,
>
> Thanks for giving the first shot of comments.
> I think the schedule will be around 9 to 18:00 every day, with some event
> or free evening. it looks like a usual ICANN meeting :)
> my understanding of the first topic is that the council didn't really have
> any chance before to discuss its role post-transition with GNSO being a
> member of EC. for example, we have to participate on budget something
> council didn't really follow that much. also, GNSO operating procedures are
> going to be updated to reflect the changes. tbh I am not sure how many
> councillors are familiar with GNSO OP and ICANN bylaws and having a clear
> understanding of the council role and remit. if we can get that
> understanding during the strategic meeting, it will help us for the year.
>
> regarding liaison role, that includes liaison to GAC and it is quite
> sensitive since we are still trying to get GAC involved and informed at an
> early stage of PDPs. we also have less clarity about the role of current
> liaisons to the different WGs and how they can do their job better
> (liaisons are critical to keeping council informed about WGs status and
> issues).
>
> indeed, we need more planning of our activities and in particular policies
> for the coming year and how to manage the workload. We are not doing enough
> good job in term of program and project management. the preparation for the
> meeting should start soon and not just wait for it to start discussion.
> that should start prior to January meeting. I guess we can suggest some
> reshuffling and change over time allocations to allow more time for
> planning itself.

>> An 8am start, 10pm finish - we are certainly squeezing a lot into each
>> day. And yet it doesn't feel all that strategic a strategic planning
>> session to me. We are spending an entire day on what are the roles and
>> responsibilities of Councillors and Council leadership, but only three
>> hours, on the last day, on "Planning 2018 - Three f2f meetings, 16 days,
>> what do we want to achieve in the next 12 months?" That to me sounds like
>> the most critical thing that we could work on. I think we need to spend
>> less time waxing lyrically about the great work that we, leadership, and
>> the liaisons do, and far more time actually planning the year ahead. As it
>> stands, there is nothing on the agenda for day 2 which I think we need to
>> discuss (even the Council meeting we could have a week earlier or later via
>> Adobe Connect). What do others think?
