[NCSG-PC] Meeting with the Board in Kobe

[Elsa S]

Hi Steph,

During the council meeting, we also met with the Board and Cherine
mentioned board priorities which included evolving the mutlistakeholder
model based on the exercise they had done with the community in previous
meetings (if you remember our NCSG session, it was very poorly attended and
did not really touch upon the points we should have touched upon if i
remember correctly). When I asked for elaboration he mentioned (as far as I
remember and as far as my notes go - please other councilors correct me if
I'm wrong) (1) the need to revisit the process by which a PDP develops, (2)
Minorities and how much weight they should have, (3) the culture of
accountability and (4) overlaps in Cs. I'm extremely curious as to how
those discussions developed because the four of them could very much affect
our work and structure going forward.

I’d also like NCSG, NCUC and NPOC to pioneer the anti-harassment efforts
which the board have been discussing. Apparently there’s a new board
working group for anti-harassment which they annouced today
https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2019-01-28-en. So if we could ask
them where they are at then (in Kobe), and what NCSG could do to help, it
would be great. Bruna and I (Kathy also helped!) are already in close touch
with Sarah Deutsch and have been trying to push for more community
engagement, which the board has been receptive to. They recently asked us
if any other individuals would be willing to join. Any ideas from the team
would be welcome!

Maybe we could also ask about some financial issues? Ayden sent an
excellent detailed email concerning the public comment review of FY20 with
some points that could be detrimental to NCSG. Including crop,
intersessional, fellowship related issues.

Finally, +1 to Farzi’s comments and we could give a very concrete example
on IGO-INGO if it's not too confrontational to do so.

Best,

Elsa
