[NCSG-PC] About SSR2

[Arsène Tungali]

(observer)

Hi Rafik,

Thanks for your email which states the issue. Please consider my comments
bellow as personal reflections and i stand to be corrected on my judgements.

The question is being discussed now at the joint ccNSO/GNSO meeting and
there are, imo, multiple views with regards to this question. GNSO Chair is
one of the people who are surprised about the decision that came in (like
only 24hours) from a meeting between the Board and ASO/AC leaders (that
happened on Friday). ccNSO Chair seems to say that they were aware of a
possible decision by the Board which was presented during Friday's meeting
but Heather (who was serving as proxy for James) seemed not to have heard
the same.

James, we would like to hear from you (as our rep there) on what you think
were the issues that the review team were facing, mostly on the scope of
work as it appears to be one of the main reasons that led the Board to act
that way. I asked on Twitter and someone replied with the following:
"According to SSAC, #SSR2 <https://twitter.com/search?q=%23SSR2> realized
they needed a scoping document before finding reviewers", can you tell us
more about this if it is true? It appears that you were not consulted and
only were informed of the decision to pause your work? What can you share
with us on that note? What is the feeling of your collegues in that group
about this? What are you planning to do?

I have tried to put here all ideas i have though i have limited knowledge
about this specific review work and would appreciate to hear your thoughts
on this. Please do share anything you think the NCSG can help with.

Thank you,
Arsene
