[NCSG-PC] New Policy Committee / Next steps

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi all,

The policy committee composition went through several changes with new
representatives from constituencies and councillors (added in cc just in
case). I think it is good opportunity now to discuss next steps and plan.
It is also important to work as team and think about our role and duties as
outlined in the charter and the expectations from NCSG members.

A first action would be the election of a NCSG PC chair and agree on the
process. It will be good to document the process for the future and one
thing to add to the PC operating procedures project (on hold for a while
and I will share the draft soon). The election will happen within PC
members.  With regard to charter provision for reference:
"*2.5.3. NCSG‑PC Leadership*

   - A Chair will be elected or replaced from among the members of the
   NCSG‑PC by a 2/3 vote of the NCSG‑PC membership on a yearly basis.

-- The NCSG Chair may not serve in this role.

   - One or more Vice-Chairs may be chosen by the NCSG‑PC on a yearly
   basis."


I have served as PC chair for at least for 3 years and I will be term
limited as councillor and PC member by AGM of this year. So thinking about
transition in a way or another is critical. One way experimented before is
also to have vice-chairs as the charter permits at least in term of
workload.

Another would be to think strategically for PC work for this year and not
just on whatever tasks or deadlines comes to us. GNSO council had its SPS
meeting last week and there were a lot of discussions about priorities and
that will come to us as SG soon where we need to define our policy
priorities for this year and share our input to council.

Please let me know about your suggestions/ideas. Currently the monthly
policy call is not a PC call per se but we can think if we need our
separate call to brainstorming and conduct our business.

Best,

Rafik
