14:06:59 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
Welcome, all.
14:08:17 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
OFB-WG workspace: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=132940946
14:11:26 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
this is only priority for the Op Initiatives SeB
14:11:43 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
Not the other Recs work
14:14:31 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
Thanks for that Cheryl.. lets get back to the Op initiatives
14:15:09 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
I had to step away for a bit sorry..
14:16:14 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Thanks Maureen - and today is the Planning area prioritization framework for ICANN Planning
14:18:10 From Claudia Ruiz to Everyone:
The presentation is linked to the wiki
14:18:18 From Victoria Yang to Everyone:
@Cheryl, we will discuss the scope of what work to be prioritized shortly, it can be broader, to be determined as we go through this consultation process with SO/ACs. Look forward to everyone’s feedback.
14:21:35 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
@Victoria this group has had a small team working in great detail on the Recs Prioritizing exercise from At-Large perspective as per ATRT3 Recs of course ;-) to feed into that SOAC process at the right time... we just don't need to confuse the two work pieces here
14:23:57 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
An earlier version - without the additions - is on the OBBC WG space
14:25:29 From Ricardo Holmquist to Everyone:
Sorry what is the OBBC?
14:25:43 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Sorry - OFBC
14:25:44 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
that planning process seems to be well designed and makes good sense to me at least
14:26:17 From Victoria Yang to Everyone:
It would be very helpful to learn more about your prioritization exercise Cheryl.
14:27:13 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
of course Heidi can brief you in general terms of where we are up to
14:34:57 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
More than happy to.
14:36:47 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
thx @Heidi
14:37:32 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Ethics Number 5
14:39:48 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
okay -- thanks Becky
14:43:54 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
Helpful Victoria -- so the current operating initiatives are already prioritized
14:48:23 From Becky Nash-ICANN org to Everyone:
Just to be more precise - the Operating Initiatives are included over the horizon of 5 years.
14:48:50 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Thanks Becky - I think that is the conclusion that Marita reached as well
14:49:09 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
indeed well noted @Becky
14:49:24 From Becky Nash-ICANN org to Everyone:
And we are going to develop a Framework to review the work together to prioritize.
14:51:18 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
I don't think this is static @seb. It is always evolving.
14:52:05 From Victoria Yang to Everyone:
The OI are included in both the 5Y and the 1Y, so FY22 and Fy23, we will include work for OI that evolves and progress the OIs.
14:52:20 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Agree Marita
14:52:56 From Victoria Yang to Everyone:
But in a plain word, we don’t know which Recommendations we should include among all the Rec (CCT/RDS2?ATRT3 /SSR2)etc.
14:53:21 From Victoria Yang to Everyone:
So, we are here to ask for advise.
14:54:24 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
Yes, thanks @Becky -- I was going to bring up that multi-year planning initiative
14:55:20 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
New gTLD round is self funding, I think
14:56:05 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
There is also a contingency fund
14:56:09 From Victoria Yang to Everyone:
That’s where we use contingency and other available fund (such as SFICR, and in the exception of Auction Proceed and Sub Pro).
15:01:25 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
I have to leave in a few moments as I had thought it was a 60 minute session.
15:01:49 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Thanks Judith - this session and the next one are 90 minutes
15:03:12 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
@ Heidi - maybe the May-June prioritization step should be in our timeline?
15:03:34 From Victoria Yang to Everyone:
Thank you Judith.
15:04:24 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
@Holly agree with the prioritisation consultation included in the timeine
15:04:30 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
timeline
15:05:11 From Victoria Yang to Everyone:
Structure 1, 2, and 3 are some of the options we can choose from, they each has pro and con
15:06:22 From Victoria Yang to Everyone:
We are suggesting discussions and questions
15:08:00 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
Could we put these items onto a google doc for OFBEG members to comment on intersessionally? Someone can feedback to the WG on each of the each of the sections
15:08:26 From Victoria Yang to Everyone:
So, following each element, there is discussion point, thus can be action items for the team, e.g. slide 10 and slide 12 etc.
15:08:36 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Thanks Maureen - good suggesstion
15:08:38 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
@Holly, noted. Should this discussion be done via email?
15:09:19 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
@ Heidi - yes, an email on the question, but then point to a Google doc to gather comments
15:09:21 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
And then discussed on the next call which is: OFB-WG Call - Follow Up on Operating Initiatives (End of August for 60 mins)
15:09:25 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
I think it would be more efficient - people could contribute in their own time - A lead person can consolidate feedback for the next meeting
15:09:41 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
A different person for each section
15:09:42 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
So Becky and Victoria will be on the call.
15:09:51 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
agreed@Maureen
15:09:56 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
@ Maureen - action item on me for that
15:11:11 From Sébastien Bachollet to Everyone:
For the first iteration a separate public comment process will be useful
15:11:30 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
this is well worth our time in these sessions
15:11:55 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
but a future Jam board could work at the right time
15:14:36 From Ricardo Holmquist to Everyone:
Frequency looks ok, but I guess this time of fluent and constant conversation will also be added
15:15:11 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Heidi - could you IMMEDIATELY dial out - for some reason I have complete lost sound
15:15:45 From Devan Reed - ICANN Org to Everyone:
Holly, you should receive the call shortly
15:17:19 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
Yes, @seb -- it needs to be regular but not rigid
15:18:03 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
ability to adhoc as required of course
15:18:28 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
I have been connected to the French channel
15:18:53 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Maureen - could you chair while I gat a dial out - in ENGLISH pleasse
15:19:05 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
reactive not rigid, but an at least annual like the known May/June point is important
15:19:44 From Devan Reed - ICANN Org to Everyone:
My apologies Holly, they are redialing
15:19:59 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Redial please
15:20:26 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
I greet aa busy signal
15:20:40 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Redial again!
15:22:38 From Sébastien Bachollet to Everyone:
ATRT3 - Prioritization and Rationalization of Activities, Policies, and Recommendations (10.4)
15:22:53 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
@Cheryl.. at least may/June would be a heads up to include onto our timeline
15:23:24 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
Yes, 8 mins.
15:24:36 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
Looking forward to the next part of this really interesting presentation. Thanks very much
