When submitting a comment that you want me to read out loud of the mic, once again provide your name and affiliation if you have one then start your sentence with a <COMMENT> and end it with <COMMENT>.  Text outside these quotes will be considered as part of “chat” and will not be read out loud on the mic.Any questions or comments provided outside of the session time will not be read aloud.All chat sessions are being archived and follow the ICANN Expected Standards of Behavior: http://www.icann.org/en/news/in-focus/accountability/expected-standards

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (11:15) I just want to say for the record that I feel desperately uncomfortable at how "platform/room" this set up is

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (11:15) we will do our best not to run the meeting in keeping with the physical layout we have to work with

  Alice Jansen: (11:17) Link to heatmap https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bu6ze45ONESJyO_f3RCpEafQsb1VAPgCFHtmWsNIIoM/edit

  matthew shears: (11:17) thanks Jordan

  matthew shears: (11:18) can we make the image on the screen bigger?

  Milton: (11:18) How can we debate Matthieu when you have unilaterally decreed that we already agree on most of the points being debated?

  Sébastien: (11:18) Can we have the link to the presentation?

  Sébastien: (11:19) Can you give us the rith to scrole the presentation?

  matthew shears: (11:20) yes, scroll control please

  Arun Sukumar: (11:22) <Question> if the

  Avri Doria: (11:23) ATRT has argued for default transparency, so this should not be so grat a problem.

  Arun Sukumar: (11:23) if ICANN refuses to provide the docs under the bylaws, what's the sole designator's recourse/question>

  Holly J. Gregory (Sidley): (11:23) This is the beginning of the CCWG discussion re these inspection rights and transparency.  Slide only says it is possible.  Details and limits remain to be worked out.  This is a statement of the possible.

  Keith Drazek: (11:24) If all documents are already public, it would presumably be unecessary to request access to them.

  Greg Shatan: (11:24) There are a series of apocalyptic assumptions being made here, whihc I believe are rather overstated.

  Samantha Eisner: (11:24) @Greg, can you please explain what you mean about my assumptions being "apocolyptic"?

  David McAuley (RySG): (11:24) I am in the queue for Kavouss

  matthew shears: (11:24) + 1 on scroll control!

  Diego Canabarro: (11:25) Is there any link to the scribes being displayed above? The one on the session website is not working properly

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (11:26) @Sam why would that matter you raised be any different than whenn the 'Members' got such access???

  Arun Sukumar: (11:26) we don't necessarily have to route the transparency in

  Greg Shatan: (11:26) e.g., that documents will "necessarily" be shared with the SOs and ACs.  That is only one of many possible outcomes, generally or in a particular instance.

  Arun Sukumar: (11:26) or inspection rights through designator

  David McAuley (RySG): (11:26) Kavouss needs to leave in ten minutes so request consioderation for line help

  Arun Sukumar: (11:27) it can simply be a fundamental bylaw since designator in any event has limited legal rights of enforceability

  Samantha Eisner: (11:27) @Cheryl, it's not different

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (11:27) Please see our 2nd draft proposal at page 75 for the new document disclosure policy for AoC review teams

  MTS - Chuck: (11:28) Here's a link to the scribe text. https://www.streamtext.net/player?event=Auditorium21oct2015

  Diego Canabarro: (11:28) Thank you chuck.

  Holly J. Gregory (Sidley): (11:29) Even in a member model inspection rights are not absolute; confidentiality obligations can be imposed, and there  is a "reasonableness " test for the request in the statute

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (11:30) what is the scope of issues for discussion in the queue?

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (11:30) so then the process as outlined current.y by Steve should suffice as ' protection'  perhaps @Sam???

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (11:30) only transparency?

  Greg Shatan: (11:30) Robin, yes for the moment

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (11:31) thanks, Greg

  Keith Drazek: (11:31) If we're relying on designator powers (spill the board or remove board members) to enforce all the powers, it's clear we need access to these items so the sole designator can know when the spillage needs to happen. Without this transparency, how would the community make an informed decision?

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (11:31) Note that there were no public comments raising any concern about the disclosure plan I just described

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (11:31) It's a good plan.

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (11:32) Exactly, Keith.

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (11:32) I encourage everyone to give it a look.   Page 75 of our 2nd draft proposal

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (11:32) we'd need to develop such pronto

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (11:32) (the KD suggestion above)

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (11:33) please note that the page 75 disclosures are part of Work Stream ONE

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (11:34) Becky Burr has joined late from the ccNSO Council for the record

  matthew shears: (11:34) I am concerned that there is a creation (it seems to me) of a new community mechansism related to global public interest in the second slide on spearation

  Keith Drazek: (11:35) We clearly need this access to information, however we get it. Details can be worked out. I support the inclusionof this point.

  Guru Acharya: (11:35) +1 Brett

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (11:36) thanks  Keith, that meshes with my Personal POV

  Greg Shatan: (11:36) We need firm guarantees that this will occur in WS2.  But then again, that is true of WS2 generally.

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (11:36) and our report suggests a way to provide that assurance, Greg

  Milton: (11:37) Steve, when the public commentes were made we were talking about a member model not a designator model

  matthew shears: (11:37) The slides on separation do not indicate whether or not there is recourse to the community escalation process if the ICANN Board does not approve the work of the SCWG or the selection of a new IFO

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (11:37) The responsibility for WS2 will fall more to the community. We just need to maintain momentum.

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (11:37) we were saying "member model" before - so we had some transparency baked in to that plan.  Now if we are moving to a place that does not come with transparency, we need it in WS1.

  Guru Acharya: (11:37) +1 Matthew

  Guru Acharya: (11:38) +1 Robin

  Greg Shatan: (11:38) @JZuck -- you mean you're not sticking around for WS2.

  matthew shears: (11:38) + 1 Robin

  Milton: (11:39) Agree with Robin. If we are beinng pushed into SD we have to move transparency improvvements into WS1

  Keith Drazek: (11:39) Correct Robin

  Guru Acharya: (11:39) Go Milton!

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (11:39) oh, no one is getting rid of me but I think we need to stop thinking of WS2 as a board issue. it's going to be a community issue once that community is empowered.

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (11:39) Agree, Jonathan.

  Milton: (11:39) As a general principle, i don't believe in WS2

  Becky Burr: (11:39) Apologies for arriving late, was in the ccNSO Council meeting.

  Greg Shatan: (11:40) WS2 is just the second half of this WG's work.

  Greg Shatan: (11:40) We're just getting going.

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (11:40) Greg, I thought it was a lifetime sentence.

  matthew shears: (11:40) agree Greg

  Milton: (11:40) WS2 will be an AoC-like replay, accomplishing very little

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (11:40) the second third.

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (11:40) Milton: do you think so? I thought our method to not have it like that was helpful. Do we need to strengthen it?

  Greg Shatan: (11:41) @Robin, at least. It could go into the afterlife....

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (11:41) @Milton -- my point about the absence of public comments on page 75 document diclosure is this:   it's suitable to use this same policy for the appointed AC/SO representatives -- at any time. Agree?

  Guru Acharya: (11:41) Agreed with Milton. Nobody will agree to spill the board for improving DIDP. To say we will have community powers after WS1 to implement WS2 is a farce.

  Sabine Meyer: (11:41) afterlife is my definition of WS3...

  Milton: (11:41) @Steve: no

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (11:42) @Milton, I think it's very different than the ATRT (in fact the ATRT will be different) with  some  community empowerment. My pessimism is about the community coming to gether more so than the board approving recommendations.

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (11:42) Milton -- we could do this in work stream ONE

  Milton: (11:42) That I agree with Stevee

  Milton: (11:42) Steve

  James Gannon: (11:42) +1

  Guru Acharya: (11:43) +1 Ed

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (11:43) The passivity inherent in the cynicism surrounding WS2 will become a self fulfilling prophecy. The community needs to get its act together.

  Samantha Eisner: (11:43) To clarify, I didn't suggest it would be used on a daily basis, and anticipated it would require community direction prior to exercising the right to inspect

  Chris Disspain: (11:44) I am concerned that we don't begin using the designator as MORE than an enforcer

  matthew shears: (11:44) + 1 Jonathan - WS2 is essential

  Phil Buckingham: (11:44) +1 Ed  - in the unlikely event it will happen

  Chris Disspain: (11:45) can I remind us all that we have agreed that for most of us the ONLY reason to have a memeber or designator is to enforce the community powers as agreed

  Sivasubramanian M: (11:45) There is no harm in examining Transparency during WS1, in the interest of adopting the sole designator model

  Chris Disspain: (11:45) we have not dicussed nor have we agreed to translate the members stat righta into the designator

  Milton: (11:45) WS2 _could be_ essential, but the CCWG's cave in to board resistance in WS1 does not create confidence

  Guru Acharya: (11:45) Strickling recently said change is jurisdiction is a big no. So jurisdiction in WS2 is anyway silly and unactionable. If we push transperency from WS2 to WS1 then we can just do away with WS2.

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (11:46) @Chris. that's right but the core community powers are separate from the model so discussing a way to implement powers outside of enforcement is in bounds I think.

  Sivasubramanian M: (11:46) Why do we need to do away with WS2?

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (11:46) @Guru, there's a lot more to WS2 than transparency

  Sivasubramanian M: (11:46) Accountability imporovements ought to be an ongoing process

  Holly J. Gregory (Sidley): (11:47) Separation path on slides is pre-escalation steps avaible to the community

  Chris Disspain: (11:47) yes....but I am sensing that we are now attempting to claim  the statutory rights 

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (11:47) I think it was the slide originally up

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (11:47) +1 Zuck -- the exercise of community powers happens the same under M or D.   Only if the board refuses to follow the bylaws do we move to enforcement, where M and D have differnent enforcement paths for some powers

  Chris Disspain: (11:47) but my real point is that I am confortable with the designator provided it remains as the enforcer

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (11:48) @Chris, no one is looking for the power to dissolve the corporation. I think we're ok

  Chris Disspain: (11:48) understoo and thanks

  matthew shears: (11:48) the new community power on public interst on separation - how is hat detemined and when has ot been discussed?

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (11:48) Chris: there is logic in seeing whether some add-ons mitigate final separation

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (11:48) oh goodness. mitigate the change in enforcement models

  Chris Disspain: (11:49) hehe

  Milton: (11:49) It is more than an "appearance" that yoou are distant from the community up there ;-)

  matthew shears: (11:49) also disagree that separation is the work is just the work of the CWG - it is essential for transition that the CWG and CCWG work together to have a full undertstading of how separation will work!

  Keith Drazek: (11:49) Apologies for going backwards, but on the transparency question...should we consider using the langauge Steve read on AoC Reviews/Confidential Document Disclosure to help frame the proper treatment of such documents. It's an established resource. Page 75 of our last report, as read by Steve.

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (11:49) Matthew S - I can't see what you are referring to.

  matthew shears: (11:49) second slide separation

  Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (11:49) @Keith: indeed I take this as a useful way to implement if we move that way

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (11:49) oh the blue text

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (11:49) +1 Keith

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (11:50) I saw that, Matthew S, as being a reference to a determination by the Community Mechanism

  Keith Drazek: (11:50) sorry for being late with that....it took me a bit to open our report

  Guru Acharya: (11:50) Chairs: At least give the community a chance to blink before you declare designator to have sufficient traction.

  matthew shears: (11:51) yes, Jordan, but how, and particulalry given that we don't know what the public intersts is

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (11:51) We said at the very beginning of this transparency was one of our most fundamental priorities.  But we thought we addressed that via membership in WS1.  So we must put transparency in WS1.

  Avri Doria: (11:53) wow, that as a tricky momment. 

  Avri Doria: (11:54) .. was a 

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (11:54) Malcolm is speaking for the ISP Constituency, BTW

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (11:54) Avri: that could mean many things

  Brett Schaefer: (11:54) I'm not prepared to endorse anything until I see the details in black and white

  Guru Acharya: (11:55) +1 Malcom: Any support to SD needs to be conditional not just on Transparency but many other conditions including the need for ICANN to always submit to arbitration.

  matthew shears: (11:55) have we discussed the rest of the chart we started on the other day?

  Avri Doria: (11:55) i think it w as brilliant sleight of hand.  abracadabra, the reference model has switched. awesome.

  Milton: (11:56) +1 Robin. Let's stick to requirements.

  Guru Acharya: (11:56) +1 Robin

  Brenden Kuerbis: (11:56) Agree with Guru

  Avri Doria: (11:56) it was so brillaint, i am not going to object.

  Milton: (11:57) Thomas,  Mathieur pushed us through that session so fast we didnt decide anything

  Milton: (11:57) You need to reopen the queue and actually allow people to discuss things

  Guru Acharya: (11:58) +1 Avri: How has the reference model changed and how the burden of fighting for concessions has also changed

  Brett Schaefer: (11:59) There were significantpowers in the membership model that are lacking in the designator model. The group has discussed possibe patches, but until we see the details spelled out and have time to think throught them, how can we make a blanket endorsement?

  Holly J. Gregory (Sidley): (11:59) The separation process is enforceable as bylaws.  PLUS If the decision the Board ultimately makes is against community wishes, then the escalation path  -- the staircase -- and the ultimate "spill the board , is availablel

  Bruce Tonkin: (11:59) Agreed @Holly.

  Bruce Tonkin: (12:00) Also we need to remember that the IANA function is trivial to

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (12:00) @Brett, I guess it's conditional approval so that the focus is on the patches. If they  are not forthcoming, no one is stuck with their conditional approval

  Greg Shatan: (12:00) IANA is never trivial!

  Bruce Tonkin: (12:00) operate well.   If we can;t manage that then you shoudl repalce the staff and the Baord.

  Keith Drazek: (12:01) I now support using the Sole Designator model as the reference model for the final phase or our work. I believe it currently has support of most of the group and is the most likely model to achieve consensus at the end. The devil is in the details, but I'm comfortable the SD model can deliver the community empowerment and enforceability we need. Fundamentally I'm good with this approach subject to further detailed work.

  Eberhard  Lisse [.NA ccTLD Manager]: (12:01) This CCWG is not really conducting its business on a bottom up multistakeholder basis

  Eberhard  Lisse [.NA ccTLD Manager]: (12:02) CoChairs are ramming their ideas through.

  Keith Drazek: (12:02) The patches are critical, but with them I support SD.

  Milton: (12:02) yes they are

  Avri Doria: (12:02) i think they are right.  1, they took us through all the known issues, offered fixes and no one had any objections.  2. they asked used wihether anyone had any additonal point they had not covered, no one did.  so what else is there to argue about.  brilliant.  i applaud.

  Brett Schaefer: (12:02) @Jonathan, I prefer membership, my consideration of designator is entirely dependent on the  details of the patches. See the problem?

  matthew shears: (12:02) Bruce - where in the separation process are you suggesting  that we can spill the board because I believe it could well be but it is unclear in the slide pack

  Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (12:02) @Avri : is there irony there ? I fear so

  Milton: (12:03) Avri, this is not an accurate summaryu of what happened. Matthieu went through all the controversial issues and announced that we all had agreed on this position.

  Avri Doria: (12:03) no irony, i aam impressed, genuinely.

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (12:03) Agree Brett, we need to see DETAILS about how this will happen before decisions about fixes.

  Guru Acharya: (12:03) Request the chairs to take a sense of the mood/traction using the online poll so that we can identify the preferred reference model for patches

  Avri Doria: (12:03) it was clean, logical and surgical.

  Milton: (12:03) No time was offered to debate his construction, and then we were channeled into a narrow discussion of transparency

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (12:03) @Brett, I prefer membership too but I have become convinced that as a practical matter, our actual enforcement powers would be difficult to use. I think we need to  compare the SD to the requirements, not the SM. Make sense?

  David McAuley (RySG): (12:04) +1 Jonathan

  Milton: (12:04) For example, Mathieu announced that spi;ling the board was faster than litigation. This is debatable in its own terms, but the fact of the matter is that the right to litigate often deters the need to litigate

  matthew shears: (12:04) that would be a reasonable appraoch Jonathan

  Brett Schaefer: (12:04) @Jonathan, sure, but I can't do that basedon a general discussion without specific details on how those patches would work.

  Bruce Tonkin: (12:05) Robin the details for removig the Board I thought were beign discussed on Satruday morning - ie SOs/ACs call a pre-meeting, then a community forum, and then a decision to remove the Board.   It was the ladder diagram that has been used on Saturday and Sunday.

  Bruce Tonkin: (12:05) I agree thought that we all want to see the details in writing - so far it is more conceptual.

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (12:06) @Brett, I guess my point is that we won't really understand the SD until it's the reference model. We can always change back but we need focus on whether the SD can meet our needs, not in the differences from the SM

  matthew shears: (12:06) + 1 Bruce

  Alice Jansen: (12:07) Recirculating google doc link - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bu6ze45ONESJyO_f3RCpEafQsb1VAPgCFHtmWsNIIoM/edit

  Bruce Tonkin: (12:07) Agreed @Jonathan - the hard work now is on the details - there are alot of details to work through.

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (12:08) Jonathan, why do we need to declare it as THE reference model in order to fill out the details?  We said we were going to build it out and see the details of what we can do and THEN make the decision.

  Brett Schaefer: (12:08) @Jonathan, I get that, i just want to make clear that this is not an irreversible step.

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (12:09) help us donthatvnow Thereby?

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (12:09) oh dear. try again help us do that build out now then?

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (12:09) This is just too rushed of a decision.

  Izumi Okutani (ASO): (12:10) Thank you Jordan for describing the reason behind your support for the Designator model. That was very clear and I agree with your observations

  Greg Shatan: (12:10) "Designator" is a statutory concept in California law.

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (12:10) It's a Community Mechanism.

  Greg Shatan: (12:10) Any other term would be more obscure....

  Guru Acharya: (12:10) The good dotor would be very angry if any decision was taken in this meeting.

  Greg Shatan: (12:10) @Jordan, that makes me feel so much better.  :-)

  Greg Shatan: (12:11) Guru, this is only a "sense of the room."

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (12:11) all I think that we need is to make a principled call

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (12:13) WE said we would build out both models more completely, discuss that based on details, and then decide.

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (12:14) when did we say that, Robin? I don't remember us agreeing that, to be honest

  Milton: (12:14) Thomas: sure, for all practical purposes we have already moved to SD as temporary reference model

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (12:14) Jordan, when it proposed a couple days ago that we switch.

  Guru Acharya: (12:14) +1 Robin +1 Milton

  Bruce Tonkin: (12:15) Under the proosal as I unerstand it - creating new ACs would require a bylaws change and would require approval of the community as well as the Board.

  Chris Disspain: (12:15) correct

  Milton: (12:16) but we do not know the mechanism about how bylaws will be approved

  Bruce Tonkin: (12:16) I think we shoudl consider the possibility of adding new ACs - that might be a good thing - so any thresholds for the single legal entity should be set in numbers of entities as well as percentages of SOs and ACs

  Holly J. Gregory (Sidley): (12:16) Agree, @Bruce and @Chris

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (12:17) GNSO resolved this week to continue to work through issues before reaching conclusions

  Greg Shatan: (12:17) Made perfect sense to me....

  Bruce Tonkin: (12:17) @Milton - there is a proposal for how that mechanism works - I think that was covered on Saturday morning.

  Milton: (12:17) The issue is not just whether new ACs can be created - it is that the discussions of the units of voting/consensus are incredibly naive

  Chris Disspain: (12:17) agree Bruce...was discussed the other day

  Chris Disspain: (12:17) need to use numbers and % to describe thresholds

  Holly J. Gregory (Sidley): (12:17) As to bylaw amendment and community role re such bylaws

  Bruce Tonkin: (12:17) In simple terms the Baord and sigle legal entity need to approve bylaws changes.

  Keith Drazek: (12:18) I fully supported and preferred the SM, but it's become clear to me that SM is on life support, at best, and it's time to focus on fleshing out the details around SD so we can determine whether the patches are sufficient to deliver on our goals.. It's the only way we'll know whether to pull the plug on SM or try desperately to rescuscitate.

  Milton: (12:18) Anyrone who proposes to give RSSAC the same power as a designator as the entire GNSO is completely out of touch with the representational and political realities of ICANN

  Milton: (12:18) either that, or they are playgin  games

  Avri Doria: (12:18) alwasy telling us to hurry up.

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (12:18) The most important issue for NCSG is getting accountability at ICANN - not making the transition happen on others timeframe

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (12:19) @Robin. Agree with that priority. The question might be one of lost leverage though so even you and I need to be somewhat aware of timing.

  Milton: (12:19) So I see Bruce is already talking about creating new ACs.

  Bruce Tonkin: (12:20) The Board is the same @James - we also need to see the detail.    I think we are all in much the same position.   It seems we are mostly OK with explorig the single designator model in detail.

  Bruce Tonkin: (12:20) Yes @Milton from time to time I have heard ideas for new ACs.   However it would only do that with the approval of the communiyt.

  McTim: (12:20) @Bruce, despite what SC said a week ago about the single designator?

  Bruce Tonkin: (12:20) The last one created was ALAC.

  James Gannon: (12:21) Bruce; I think we are about thecreate a singularity here, the NCSG, the IPC and the Board are on the same page.

  Bruce Tonkin: (12:21) Yes @McTime - see our statement we made on Sunday afternoon around 2pm - it is on the CCWG mailing list.

  Milton: (12:21) Bruce, ACs are advisory. They are not structural elements of representation and policy development, Therefore they have no place in the basic accountability governance structure.

  Milton: (12:21) with the exception of ALAC, of course, which is actyally a designator

  Bruce Tonkin: (12:22) Yes @Milton - one approach would be to set up the single legal entity with ASO, ccNSO, GNSO, and ALAC - and then just ask advice from the advisory committee if they choose to give it.

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (12:22) As folks here know, I've been saying for months we need to look closely at designator and work through details.

  Brett Schaefer: (12:22) +1 Milton

  Guru Acharya: (12:23) Can we at least have a poll before you declare the change?

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (12:23) But that doesn't mean we SWITCH before we we see those details

  Brett Schaefer: (12:23) I very much prefer that option Bruce

  Guru Acharya: (12:24) During the deliberations of the CWG and CCWG, there are three constant arguments used by status quoists that have dangled as sharp swords over the participants: 1) We suspect that the NTIA will not accept this change causing the transition to fail. 2) We suspect that the Board will not accept this change causing the transition to fail. 3) The proposed change will take so much time that we will not meet the deadline and the transition will fail. Ultimately, participants are so fearful of crossing these imaginary boundaries of what NTIA may accept, that we have started faithfully reproducing what NTIA desires. We are so fearful of a failed transition that we err on the side of status quo.

  Brenden Kuerbis: (12:24) @Bruce, I beleive that arrangement would most closely mimic ICANN's structure today and be most apporporiate.

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (12:25) There is not consenses to swtich.  There is consensus to explore fully.  Please don't mistake those two things.

  Brett Schaefer: (12:25) +1 Brenden

  James Gannon: (12:25) I agree with Bruce that would mirror the current strcture closely and would be the lowest risk option

  Milton: (12:25) I like tehat option too, but again let's be clear: a 15-person expert advisory committee is not a governance unit on the order of the GNSO or ccNSO or ASO. ONE constituency in the GNSO (NCUC) has abouot 300 individual and 160 organizational members, and some of the member organizations have tens of thousands of members. And there are 6 constituencies in GNSO. Giving a 15 perso technical expert group the same voting status as GNSO is just ridiculous

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (12:25) yes Robin I hope that is clear

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (12:28) Milton just for the record as I suspect that you might be referring to the ALAC...  today in one of the Regional Sub parts of At-LargePRALOo a single At Large structure  confirm sa

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (12:28) kicking around lots of decision models now is a bit disconcerting

  Milton: (12:28) why don't these voting structures decompose the SOs into their parts, e.g., the GNSO into its 4 Stakeholder Groups - which all have very different positions on policy issues - and the ASO into the 5 RIRs?

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (12:29) ... hitvreturn. too soon....  confirmed an Active Member listing of over 100 thousand. not sure these comparisons help in this discussion though

  Alice Jansen: (12:29) Doc can be found at https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/56143884/Dublin%20breakout%20on%20Indiv%20removal%20vbb.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1445444886946&api=v2

  matthew shears: (12:29) agree Jordan

  Keith Drazek: (12:29) Switching reference model for further work. Not a consensus call to finalize the recommendation. Not irreversible if SD + patches turns out to be insufficient, but I think it's the most constructive path forward at this time.

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (12:30) +1 Keith. We gotta just get on the SD horse for a while to see where it takes us

  Bruce Tonkin: (12:30) @Milton - my understanding is that at least SSAC and RSSAC don't want to participate in a voting mmodel within the single legal entity.

  mike chartier: (12:30) good job Steve

  Guru Acharya: (12:30) People from CWG know that changing reference model is code for killing the model. Even Contract Co was just kept in the background it was never removed from the table.

  Alice Jansen: (12:33) Link to aoc doc https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/56143884/AoC%20-%20analysis%20of%20PC2%20v5%20Wed.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1445439504416&api=v2

  Alice Jansen: (12:35) options for consideration are on p5

  Phil Buckingham: (12:39)  Steve  - I think we should bake in a set date when  Round 2 starts 

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (12:40) this exercise is to respond to public comments on 2nd draft, Phil.

  Keith Drazek: (12:42) Agree that B is better than A. The Registries Stakeholder Group opposed Option A.

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (12:45) @Phil, I think a baked in date is totally unrealistic. If the justification of a new round is increasing choice and competition, we need to make sure we're doing that.

  Milton: (12:48) Ths whole review team model should be a footnote - if that - in thiis process. Why are we spending time on it?

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (12:51) Especially the GNSO

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (12:51) @Milton -- please be patient, just another few minutes here.  We need to respond to Public COmments that were filed on our draft.   

  Hillary Jett: (12:54) @all if you are having trouble converting to a UK plug and need to charge your laptops please let me know, I have 2 adaptors on-hand. Thanks!

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (12:55) I think 7 reviews in one year will solve that concern

  Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (12:56) +1 Jonathan

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (12:56) true it would Jonathan ;-)

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (12:56) we're going to be going around begging people to be on review teams

  Milton: (12:56) We've spent more time on this AoC trivia than on the critical issues around the model. Does not make the CCWG look good

  Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (12:57) @Milton; in total we have spent, this week, more than 4 hours on the model.

  Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (12:57) Plus the constituency discussions

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (12:58) and frankly, the "model" is the aspect of accountability least likely to be relevant in the future. The processes are actually going to happen on a regular basis

  Milton: (12:58) Mathieu; but we are still not of one mind

  Alan Greenberg: (12:58) Please, the table ALSO showing the number of AC/SO participants.

  Milton: (12:58) Jonathan: thanks for convincing me that you are not qualified to be on that stage

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (12:59) Yikes @Milton. My pointg is simply that we need in WS1 to empower the community for future reforms.

  Milton: (12:59) I am going to tweet your comment, Jonathan

  Alan Greenberg: (13:00) Strongly support Sam's comment.

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (13:00) @Milton, I"m @jvzuck on twitter

  Samantha Eisner: (13:00) @Steve - YES, happy to

  Samantha Eisner: (13:01) There's already been work going on to develop review standards.

  Nurani Nimpuno: (13:02) The transcript seems to be mangled

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (13:02) We really need option B. The current structure has not allowed everyone a voice in the reviews

  Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (13:04) Option B with standards  to be discussed with Sam

  James Gannon: (13:04) Transcript gave us a brief look into the GAC =)

  Sabine Meyer: (13:06) ah, thats where that text went

  Bruce Tonkin: (13:07) This is the text from the Articles of Incorporation:

  Bruce Tonkin: (13:07) These Articles may be amended by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the directors of the Corporation. When the Corporation has members, any such amendment must be ratified by a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the members voting on any proposed amendment.

  Rosemary Fei (Adler & Colvin): (13:07) SD is a single entity.  It can, if desired, be given the right to consent ot any change to the Articles of Incorporation of ICANN

  Bruce Tonkin: (13:08) Thanks @Rosemary

  Holly J. Gregory (Sidley): (13:08) And the 2/3 vote (consensus) threshold could apply

  Rosemary Fei (Adler & Colvin): (13:09) If desired, that right could be given to the SD in the Articles.

  Brett Schaefer: (13:09) Yes, superglue, please

  James Gannon: (13:10) Yup some of us need superglue

  Milton: (13:10) who does it make uncomfortable?

  Brett Schaefer: (13:10) good question Milton

  Bruce Tonkin: (13:11) Exactly MIlton - it would help to understand the concerns.

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:11) I agree with Brett.  Option B.

  James Gannon: (13:11) OPtion B

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:12) wait!  we should not vote to oppose.  we vote to choose.

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (13:12) I indicated the governments who want option A in my report

  Julia Wolman, GAC Denmark: (13:12) Yes please keep that in mind

  Sabine Meyer: (13:13) Thank you for recognizing the ongoing drafting section.

  Sabine Meyer: (13:13) *session

  Becky Burr: (13:13) guys, Alan is right - the only reason to go with super glue is to get in the GACs face

  Milton: (13:13) what is the GAC's concern please?

  Pedro Ivo Silva [GAC Brasil]: (13:13) I reiterate the position of Brazil for preference for option A

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:13) You simply cannot decide this when so many in this room are against this. 

  matthew shears: (13:14) then make a call tomorrow

  Bruce Tonkin: (13:14) THis is Article XV111

  Bruce Tonkin: (13:14) ARTICLE XVIII: OFFICES AND SEALSection 1. OFFICESThe principal office for the transaction of the business of ICANN shall be in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America. ICANN may also have an additional office or offices within or outside the United States of America as it may from time to time establish.Section 2. SEALThe Board may adopt a corporate seal and use the same by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise.

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (13:14) Robin -- is NCSG for A or B?

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:14) We should not jump the gun on so many of these issues.

  Milton: (13:14) NCSG has not discussed this

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:15) No one in the room expressed support for option A.

  Milton: (13:15) I think I may be for A

  Pedro Ivo Silva [GAC Brasil]: (13:15) I did not speak, Robin, but I express preference for A

  Mary Uduma: (13:15) I am for option A

  James Gannon: (13:16) On process we cannot claim that we have a quaorum for one option but not the other, I object to the conclusion that will be going to the second read.

  Diego Canabarro: (13:16) I counted only one B in the chat. The rest was A all the way.

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (13:17) This has been in both our drafts and we are trying to account for public comments -- which were split.  

  Milton: (13:17) Diego there were three b's

  James Gannon: (13:17) Agreed Steve

  Diego Canabarro: (13:17) Thank you, Milton.

  Milton: (13:17) in the hat

  Milton: (13:17) in  the Chat!

  James Gannon: (13:17) Hence we should guage the roo with all interested partys available

  Diego Canabarro: (13:18) I could not stop the scroll down, so had to take a glance

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:19) The impact of the changes needs to be explored in public comment from the change.  Irrespective of other criteria.

  Brett Schaefer: (13:20) We should have a public comment we have not even seen the details yet. Also, the broader community not in this room or the chat need a chance to comment.

  Keith Drazek: (13:20) If language survived 2 previous drafts, and the public comments aren't conclusive, we probably need fairly compelling opposition to change it. We should rely on and defer to our previous work if possible.

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (13:20) +1 Keith

  Julia Wolman, GAC Denmark: (13:21) While not speaking on behalf of the GAC, if we move to the Sole Designator model, I would think we need to have a public comment. 

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (13:21) I tend to agree (again!)  with you @Keith

  matthew shears: (13:21) the public comment should should focus on areas of change

  Brett Schaefer: (13:21) @Keith, I can agree to focus on altered aspects of the proposal.

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (13:22) yes Julia. personally I believe that too

  Milton: (13:22) Right, Matthew it needs to be a "full" comment in the sense of 6 weeks, but it needs to focus on the things that have changed

  Sabine Meyer: (13:22) seconding Julia

  Pedro Ivo Silva [GAC Brasil]: (13:22) I agree with Julia

  Brenden Kuerbis: (13:22) Sure those areas changed need to be highlighted. But the public will need to see the whole proposal.

  McTim: (13:23) absolutlry agree with Brendan

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:23) We need to know if spill the board is sufficent for some of these powers.  We need to know if transparency is adequately covered in the proposed change.  Changing the model has impacts to consider.

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (13:23) @Brenden and James. That's right. A delta alone doesn't a good document make but showing the changes is critical

  matthew shears: (13:23) agree

  James Gannon: (13:23) Agred Johnanthan

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:23) So we MUST have another public comment period.

  Izumi Okutani (ASO): (13:24) I think suggestion from James is helpful and pragmatic I support it

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:24) There are OTHER things that change with the shift, so we must have a comment period.

  matthew shears: (13:25) yes a very clear summary up front on what the changes are and importantly why

  Megan Richards European Commission: (13:25) to facilitante a public comment IT World Be important To clearly identify the differences from proposal 2 and proposal 3 to ensure that comments concentrate on the new and not revisit the previous

  James Gannon: (13:25) Agreed Megan

  Sabine Meyer: (13:25) there are also items that were developed this week which might lend themselves to comment as well.

  Alan Greenberg: (13:25) I think 30 days is sufficient, despite the changes

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:25) precisely, Matthew.  There are other issues beside "getting similar powers"

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (13:26) @Alan, I agree but the key will be to produce a document which makes it clear that on which we're looking for comment

  James Gannon: (13:26) Our timelines are going to be restructed by the lack of intersessional ability of some of the chartering organisations also so lets lot rush this

  Megan Richards European Commission: (13:26) sorry I see I had French keyboard when I wrote good thing it wasn't Greek :-)

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (13:26) To evaluate the lenght of public comments, let's consider in context of our Charter requirement for Chartering Organization review

  Alan Greenberg: (13:26) Support Jordon. We do NOT need to wait for full report to go out.

  Roelof Meijer (SIDN, ccNSO): (13:26) @Jordan: I fully agree

  Brenden Kuerbis: (13:26) @Jordan, I would add that there needs to be some rationale for diverging from previous public comment(s).

  Keith Drazek: (13:26) Agree with Jordan

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:27) a solid and outstanding and fair summary could go out next week and that would help

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:27) Me too.  It would be making a mockery of the multi-stakeholder model if we do not consult on these signficant changes.

  matthew shears: (13:27) I think clarity is more important than speed

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:28) a high level narrative piece that was very clear, well diagrammed, and set out precsely and comoletely the entire proposal could follow that

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (13:28) +1 Matthew. Clarity is key

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:28) (the first one would be a summary of key changes and reasons for these)

  Andrew Sullivan: (13:28) For whatever it's worth, I think that a short public comment with focussed questions and explicit restrictions against changes to text that has survived 2 rounds of public comment is entirely consistent with a multi-stakeholder process

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:28) The third one could be the comprehensive "options considered, chosen, why"

  Keith Drazek: (13:28) We have only one more chance to tell the story and make it accessible. We have to get it right. Fortunately, our work is far more advanced now than it was during out last effort.

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:28) the fourth thing could be draft set of bylaws

  James Gannon: (13:29) One chance to get this done well, we need to take our time and craft that narrative slowly. Lets not rush

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:29) Andrew: the challenge we face is that much of the "text" in the second draft report isn't really fit for purpose for a final proposal

  matthew shears: (13:29) in some ways how we describe the changes is as important as the changes themselves

  Sabine Meyer: (13:29) @Jordan: your third thing is to my understanding also something Larry asked for in his blog post before BA

  Brenden Kuerbis: (13:29) What Malcolm said - we need a rationale for changes made, and in particular where CCWG changes differ/conflict from previous public comment. 

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:30) And that has to be accurate, clear, honest, and complete

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (13:30) professional writing is also required IMO to ensure clarity and consistency of messages

  c.a.: (13:30) Malcolm Nutty stressing the importance of a careful public consultation process.

  James Gannon: (13:31) +100000 CLO

  matthew shears: (13:31) lots of visuals is key

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (13:31) yep

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (13:31) and concise simple language...

  Alissa Cooper: (13:31) this discussion makes one wonder how many of the changes arose from commenters who were brand new to the process upon the 2nd draft

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (13:31) Perhaps a graphic novel?

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (13:31)  might have a real long appendix but that is ok

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (13:31) +1 Cheryl

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (13:31) yes please JZ

  Sabine Meyer: (13:32) or those 1 pagers proposed by James some time ago that conform to one of the standards proposed by GAO

  Sabine Meyer: (13:32) (IIRC)

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (13:32) can we get Neil Gaimon

  James Gannon: (13:32) Yes

  c.a.: (13:32) I am afraid there is no time for a graphic novel, unless we hire Marvel... :-)

  James Gannon: (13:32) Who is c.a?

  c.a.: (13:32) CArlos Afonso, CGI.br

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:32) Note: any professional writers will be working for the group - and no text will be finalised without our say so

  James Gannon: (13:33) Tanks carlos

  Malcolm Hutty: (13:33) @Jordan: thanks for that reassurance

  Malcolm Hutty: (13:35) I can't see how we're going to have a Third Draft Report of the requisite quality within a month. It's plain the Second Draft Report was too difficult to understand even for the Board

  Greg Shatan: (13:35) I will rewrite the report, at my usual hourly rate.... :-)

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (13:35) No lawyers!

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:36) I'll re-write it for free ;-)

  Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (13:36) Thanks for the offer Robin, much appreciated ;-)

  Greg Shatan: (13:37) This chat statement (hereinafter, the "Statement") declares and submits that it is reasonably possible that I am likely capable to write in a style that can reasonably be describes as not that of an individual trained in the law.

  Keith Drazek: (13:37) lol

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (13:37) Exactly

  Greg Shatan: (13:37) Word.

  Sabine Meyer: (13:37) If I were a member, Greg, I might feel inclined to object to the above Statement.

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (13:38) thanks @Greg  can you advise an expert to help me understand ;-)

  Izumi Okutani (ASO): (13:38) I agree Steve

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:38) If we use professional writers outside this group they need to start now to come up a very steep learning curve and then we have very important review duty as to what they produce

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (13:38) agree

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (13:38) +1 David

  matthew shears: (13:38) good point David

  Thomas Rickert, CCWG Co-Chair: (13:39) We will need to make sure we have a subject matter expert that will bring the professional writers up to speed.

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:39) Parallel would only work if we said "IF anything is identified in the public comments, we WILL do a supplementary report."

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (13:39) indeed

  Malcolm Hutty: (13:39) How do people feel about engaging Kieron as the professional writer? he's already up to speed :-)

  Greg Shatan: (13:39) Honestly, I am happy to edit, or help in another way.  I can write like a normal person.

  Keith Drazek: (13:40) David McAuley IS a professional writer. Perhaps we should form a sub-group to work closely with any professional writers.

  Greg Shatan: (13:40) Keith +1

  matthew shears: (13:40) + 1 

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (13:41) @Robin, how much of the community is not represented by the charting orgs?

  Alissa Cooper: (13:41) note that the numbers community people killed their christmas holidays last year to make the original ICG deadline and they are still waiting

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (13:41) Community is very well represented by the 6 chartering orgs.  Only one AC/SO (RSSAC) declined to be a chartering org for CCWG

  Sabine Meyer: (13:42) I would believe the question of a F2F is different from the possible need of chartering organisations for an intersessional meeting

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:42) indeed.

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:42) Indeed, Sabine, in-DEED>

  Milton: (13:42) What is the point of sending the report to the chartering orgs before public comment is received ? Most chartering orgs and their members will read the report when it is released for public comment anyway

  Greg Shatan: (13:42) Very true Sabine.

  Eberhard  Lisse [.NA ccTLD Manager]: (13:42) I agree we will not get aything done between 2015-12-18 and 2015-01-03, given the way the holidays are this year.

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:42) folks, we rushing this so much, it will backfire on us.  We need to be respectful of this process, the participants time, and try to be realistic.

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:44) Most public comments don't come in UNTIL the end of the period - which will be after some orgs vote.  That is a sham process.  If we want this process to be taken seriously, we can't rush this so much.

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:44) why don't we do an even shorter comment period of two weeks then.

  Eberhard  Lisse [.NA ccTLD Manager]: (13:44) WHo cares what ALAC supports this week, or next or thereafter, their opinions are like windmills

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:44) with a prompt summary of key changes ASAP, and then draft report (the high level one) on 20 Nov

  James Gannon: (13:44) What is the goal of compressing a timeline that we will not be able to meet as the GAC will not approave intersessionally, its a false time restriction

  Eberhard  Lisse [.NA ccTLD Manager]: (13:46) I know for a fact that they are currently sweating over Stress Test 18 at the GAC, they are not going to follow any time line we set

  Milton: (13:46) numbers has to wait for CCWG, it has no choice,

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:46) We have a habit of fantasy timelines in this group, James.

  Avri Doria: (13:46) we have a habit of wasting time and turning those fantasy timeline predictions into self fulfilling predictions.

  Athina Fragkouli (ASO): (13:46) very well said, Izumi

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (13:47) My fantasy, Robin, is to have a few days off between Christmas and New Years. 

  Eberhard  Lisse [.NA ccTLD Manager]: (13:47) Hurry up and wait, excellent!

  Pedro Ivo Silva [GAC Brasil]: (13:47) @James: The GAC has already reached decisions intersessionaly

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (13:47) +1 Avri

  Sabine Meyer: (13:47) +1 Pedro

  Julia Wolman, GAC Denmark: (13:47) Agree Pedro

  Eberhard  Lisse [.NA ccTLD Manager]: (13:48) Pedro, that may be so, but not over the holidays. You are civil servants after all :-)-O

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:48) No kidding, Steve.  I'll be with family and not at home.  I don't think I'm the only one planning to spend the holidays with our families, who have already done without us this year because of obligations in this process.

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:48) I reiterate my point before - we are speaking of a reading process rather than a core writing task

  James Gannon: (13:48) Pedro: I understand that however without a statement from the GAC saying that they will meet intersessinally on this issue we have to go on the assumption it will not, if you can get your GAC colleageues to assist us in that kind of statement please help!

  Eberhard  Lisse [.NA ccTLD Manager]: (13:49) Jordan, please be realistic, not hopeful

  Pedro Ivo Silva [GAC Brasil]: (13:49) @Eberhard: remember that holidays are not the same around the world

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:49) and to be clear about what Thomas is saying - he is not saying we don't have control over the text. He is saying we get much more help with writing it

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:49) January 1st is holiday everywhere I've ever been in this world.

  Avri Doria: (13:50) and Xmass is not evrybody's holiday.  we work through people's holidays all the time.

  Alan Greenberg: (13:50) DELAYING IS ALSO A HIGH RISK STRATEGY.

  Alan Greenberg: (13:50) @Avri, YUP

  Jari Arkko: (13:50) +1

  Alissa Cooper: (13:51) +1 alan, why not try this. or with a 3-week comment period.

  James Gannon: (13:51) How many times have we created unrealitic timelines now? 6/7/8? We need to stop it.

  Eberhard  Lisse [.NA ccTLD Manager]: (13:51) I know, I know that not very country shuts down like SOuth Africa and Namibia from 2015-12-15 until 2016-01-15 where we all treck to the coast, but in many countries, these are holidays in the sense of vacation...

  Seun: (13:51) the numbers community worked during Dec last year, it's not knew

  matthew shears: (13:51) agree with Malcolm

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:51) This proposed timeline will appear like an attempt to cut many people OUT of the process.

  Eberhard  Lisse [.NA ccTLD Manager]: (13:52) Robin, like the surprise meetings, what's new?

  matthew shears: (13:52) there will be comments from those outside this community

  Izumi Okutani (ASO): (13:52) We didn't have any holidays XMASS or Newyears last year - while I ofcourse want the hollidays and my life back too. Could we at least not try to seek on how we could move forward in the most efficient way?

  Jari Arkko: (13:52) FWIW, I worry about the timeline as well. However, I do think it is doable. Putting the questions to the community and chartering organisations is just the right thing. But, you have to keep the *focus*. Focus on the essential and sufficient powers that you need (ref our blog with Andrew). Focus on *changes*. Focus on figuring out what your process is, allowing online meetings etc.

  Nurani Nimpuno: (13:53) +1 Izumi

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO: (13:53) well said Jonathan

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:53) Right, Matthew, we are supposed to hear and consult with outsiders of this inner community.  This is soooo dangerous.  And it won't happen.  GAC won't have an intercessional.  We discredit the process by this rush job on a changed proposal.

  jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland): (13:54) dear Robin, please do not speak for the GAC

  Malcolm Hutty: (13:54) Interesting point Roeloff

  Eberhard  Lisse [.NA ccTLD Manager]: (13:54) Dear Jorge, she can say whatever she wants!

  Sabine Meyer: (13:55) exactly Jorge

  jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland): (13:55) dear Eberhard: she was speaking on something she does not know

  Malcolm Hutty: (13:55) re: pushback on process as a signal for pushback on substance, I mean

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:55) Pedro, I'd be happy for you prove me wrong. ;-)

  Eberhard  Lisse [.NA ccTLD Manager]: (13:55) Dear Jorge, so what!

  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (13:55) @Robin -- we HAVE consulted with outside ommunity if first 2 public comment periods. And we are proposing one more chance for "outsiders" to comment.

  Izumi Okutani (ASO): (13:55) I like Jordan's suggestion to consider a shorter comment period

  jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland): (13:56) it's better to keep people well-informed

  Jari Arkko: (13:56) +1 for shorter comment period

  Roelof Meijer (SIDN, ccNSO): (13:56) @Malcolm: correction: signal on substance AND signal on process

  Eberhard  Lisse [.NA ccTLD Manager]: (13:57) We can tell the Community already now that we may consider a shorter periord (like the 30 days we used previously) so we don't surprise anyone.

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:57) Andrew's point is why I think I would prefer two more weeks to write the report and two fewer weeks on the consultation, to be honest

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:57) Steve, but NO ONE has commented on a designator proposal and considered what other concerns there could be.  SOACs should not be voting on a model that no one from the outside community have had a chance to comment on.

  Izumi Okutani (ASO): (13:58) + 1 Andrew

  Dave: (13:58) One idea that would be useful: identify a list of external organizations and groups that are likely to be interested in process and specifically approach them

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:58) typo - I meant no voting on a proposal that outsiders have NOT commented on  ever.

  Athina Fragkouli (ASO): (13:58) Andrew's suggestion makes sense to me

  matthew shears: (13:58) but for those outside this community we do need a structured approach - they won't understand pieces floating around the lists

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:59) The FUD is a bit thick to push for the rush job.

  Eberhard  Lisse [.NA ccTLD Manager]: (13:59) This time line does not work on so many levels

  Alissa Cooper: (13:59) no harm in aiming high

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (13:59) except making mistakes

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (13:59) let's come back to it

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (13:59) +1 James

  Sabine Meyer: (14:00) + 1 James. adding that the other chartering orgs might be asked as well.

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (14:00) to me the critical thing is briskly getting our plan right, having input, and the chance to correct based on that input

  Pedro Ivo Silva [GAC Brasil]: (14:00) +1 Sabine

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (14:00) then to decision and if that happens in mid jan, late jan or early feb, we just have to live with it. in my humble opinion. :-)

  Eberhard  Lisse [.NA ccTLD Manager]: (14:01) get it right. then get it out, not the other way around

  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]: (14:03) hopefully we can discuss the issue of the public comments on the role of ACs tomorrow.  Right?  We are going to go through this at some point right?

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (14:03) yes we have to

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur): (14:03) the decision stuff

  Seun: (14:
