[NCSG-PC] Topics for the Board discussion in Kobe

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi Stephanie,

Thanks for the draft.
As I read others comments, I don't see so much change in EPDP section. I
think we need only to ask the board about not bypassing the process (agree
that their letter was ill-thought in bad timing) and to not be influenced
by other groups who might try to have 2 bites at the apple. I believe that
would be more useful to ask and discuss than what is suggested (I am fine
with the question #1 about the resourcing and adequate budgeting). EPDP is
in a certain way a good respond to what board is talking since Barcelona
about PDP effectiveness. I don't want that we give any hint that board
should get involved in any kind of facilitation that question #2 or #3
might imply.

I am really puzzled about the question on travel and its intent. I don't
think people get travel arrangement in last minute for fun but for basic
reason: ICANN CT only book when visa are ready and that process takes time.
things might change with the new timeline and earlier support from CT. I
really believe we are sending the wrong message here and I would oppose it
on its current form. At the end most of work is done between meetings and
conference calls.

I would suggest instead that board improves its process in term of
community consultation and exploring different approaches. the 1 hour
session at ICANN meeting is too little. are the letters the right the
medium for any kind of interaction? do we really want that board start kick
off some initiative and so adding more burden on the community?

Best,

Rafik
