Yvette Guigneaux: (3/10/2017 08:53) Welcome all to the ICANN58 - Copenhagen CCWG Accountability Work Stream 2 F2F Meeting March 2017 Hall A2!
matthew shears: (09:02) morning
Daniel K. Nanghaka: (09:04) Good morning
Brenda Brewer: (09:07) Good Morning Daniel!
Daniel K. Nanghaka: (09:08) Its great to have the link super perfect
Daniel K. Nanghaka: (09:09) I am missing in Action physically but will be attending the full meeting remotely
Jordan Carter: (09:09) Good morning everyone!
Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (09:10) Thanks Daniel !
Daniel K. Nanghaka: (09:11) Thanks Mathieu
Thomas Rickert, CCWG Co-chair: (09:12) Great you will stay with us for such a long meeting, Daniel!
Daniel K. Nanghaka: (09:14) Yes
Yvette Guigneaux: (09:16) working on slides now
Keith Drazek (RySG): (09:41) Just one quick note for clarification: The letter referenced related to Staff Accountability was a joint letter to ICANN from the Contracted Parties...both Registries and Registrars. Just want to ensure the record is accurate. Thanks!
Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (09:43) Good point Keith.
Alan Greenberg: (09:44) We need to remove the volunteer perception that staff is here to "control" us but to support us.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO) 2: (09:45) Need a system that is conducive to a Staff:Community relations and oporations, that is under collegial, cintinuous improvement...
Jordan Carter: (09:46) thanks Keith
Jordan Carter: (09:46) Alan, yeah: that's about strong norms being supported, and specific behaviour being consistent with it
Lori Schulman: (09:47) Agree with Alan and Cheryl. Staff should be encouraged to cooperate and support. However, I do not think that their goals should be tied to community progress. That sets up a big conflict because the staff should control their personal performance and not the community's performance.
Kavouss Arasteh: (09:47) What is your impression on why when staff were asked to come they did not come?
Kavouss Arasteh: (09:49) Why they refained, as you said; to coe to you and share their issues with you?
Jordan Carter: (09:50) Kavouss -- just wondering who you are asking these questions? Is it to Avri?
Kavouss Arasteh: (09:50) We must work with them ,support them, encourage them and NOT to criticise them so strongly
Kavouss Arasteh: (09:51) The rapporteurs
Jordan Carter: (09:51) Oh yes, I just think we have realised that the work needs an ongoing active dialogue between the group and staff, and at the moment the staff involvement is mainly about support for the group's work. So it's not criticising so much as asking for a different way of working, as I see it
Kavouss Arasteh: (09:53) Yes , fully agree with that. Then the language and zone of gthe rdport need to be streamlined
Steve DelBianco [GNSO-CSG]: (09:54) Good point, Matthew.
Kavouss Arasteh: (09:55) We need to encourage them directly and through the current hierarchy to get inovloved in discussion with you but you need to demonstrate that the objectives are to improve and not to criticise them
Jordan Carter: (09:56) yep - if they see the effort as just being about criticism it will get nowhere, and won't deserve to either.
Kavouss Arasteh: (09:57) If we want to make the things tranparent and improve we need to have mutual collaboration
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO) 2: (09:58) indeed we do Kavouss
Kavouss Arasteh: (09:59) Ceryl, Tks then pls change the tone of report
Jordan Carter: (10:00) the report draft Doc A will be left as it is if we proceed there - will make a comment about that after these interventions
Kavouss Arasteh: (10:01) Once again, we neeed to focuss our actions on discussing within the ghierarchy scheme i.e. more with Board and CEO
Greg Shatan: (10:01) Accountability should not only imply criticism or complaint. But even criticism should be seen as and offered as constructive criticism. There also needs to be a way to communicate positive views. Anyone who has conducted a performance review knows how important it is to spend time on strengths and things that are going well. But it is inevitable that more focus will be on "gaps".
Steve DelBianco [GNSO-CSG]: (10:01) Denise is right about this, and I think this should be the 5th bullet on the slide you're showing now.
Kavouss Arasteh: (10:03) I personally appreciaate very much the diligent works being done and just wish to make come sort of way to remedy any eventual problem
matthew shears: (10:05) I think the "change" of approach is appropriate and that it will help better inform and shape doc b; but, I think your bullets 2 and 3 should be explicitely addressed in doc a
Greg Shatan: (10:05) Where does the community fit in the "hierarchy of the organization"? ICANN is a unique "system". The idea that the "trinity" requires community to deal with staff issues only through the Board is a non-starter. This is a triangle, not a V.
matthew shears: (10:05) + 1 Greg
Daniel K. Nanghaka: (10:06) But staff has to support community
Daniel K. Nanghaka: (10:06) The role that community plays is tremondous and cannot be neglected or ignored
Greg Shatan: (10:07) I don't feel blamed by Avri, just constructively criticized.
Greg Shatan: (10:07) And will strive to participate more regularly.
Kavouss Arasteh: (10:08) Healthy discussion ,good will and establishment or foster the trust
Jordan Carter: (10:08) there may be an unancipated advantage of being a little later - that more of you will be a bit less busy with the earlier part of WS2 and be able to add your thoughts and input
Greg Shatan: (10:08) Maybe there should be a "Praise Officer" as well as a "Complaints Officer"....
Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (10:08) I certainly support that ! Feedback officer would have been my suggestion
Greg Shatan: (10:10) Just as long as it's not .feedback officer.
Robin Gross [GNSO NCSG]: (10:10) Well done, Jordan and Avri!
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO) 2: (10:14) I really question the value of feedback form and pro forma questions on the qwuality of interactions
David McAuley (RySG): (10:53) Appreciate Mathieu's comment that we will address consistency at the end - seems to be a good approach to the issue Sebatiien raised
Lori Schulman: (10:53) Hello Farzi
Kavouss Arasteh 4: (10:57) Brenda, my raising hand process does not work. Did somebody block tht pls
matthew shears: (10:57) This SOAC accountability doc is an excellent piece of work
Kavouss Arasteh 4: (10:57) I logged three times but did not work
Kavouss Arasteh 4: (11:00) Bernie, the hand rasing on my connected is blocked
Bernard Turcotte Staff Support: (11:01) ok will look into it
Brenda Brewer: (11:01) Raise hand option should be available now.
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (11:02) it works now after logout
Niels ten Oever: (11:06) While looking at this I realized that the outcome of WS2 will be quite some work for SOs and ACs. In the worst case scenario this work will not be picked up. How do we evaluate the implementation of WS2 outcomes? Could that be part of ATRT ?
Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (11:07) Yes, Niels, in general. But for SO/AC acct specifically, evaluation of implementation should be part of Structural Reviews
Wale Bakare: (11:10) Hi everyone
avri doria: (11:11) please show the slide for the track being discussed
Yvette Guigneaux: (11:16) will do Avri - we had some technical difficulties back here that created delays - our apologies
Mark Carvell UK GAC rep: (11:17) @ Cheryl and Steve - Excellent work by the team with very clearly written rationales and guidance.
avri doria: (11:17) thanks
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (11:25) There is mechanism to ensure the implementation at all
Mark Carvell UK GAC rep: (11:28) It is incumbent on every SO and AC to schedule consideration of the outcomes on accoutnability best practice etc and report to the community on its review of the recommendations. The GAC members engaged in this work will make this clear expectation for the GAC.
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (11:28) Sorry, I mreant there is NO modality or mechanism to ensure their implementation
Robin Gross [GNSO NCSG]: (11:28) Good suggestion to standardize when mtgs are closed.
Mark Carvell UK GAC rep: (11:30) The GAC is fully committed to open all its physical meetings and this is embedded in recent practice. Intersessional virtual meetings is another question however. The GAC needs to discuss that.
Michael Karanicolas: (11:33) Regarding a standardised list for closing meetings (which, to clarify, should help to promote implementation, not to mandate it) - it's possible these could be directly tied to the DIDP exceptions, which are meant to embody the main public interest reasons which may justify restrictions on transparency. Perhaps that could be a good starting point.
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (11:34) Mark, I do not agree with the language used "Committed " as GAC meetings are open, That is all
Jan Scholte: (11:34) If there is no prescribed follow-up on implementation, how do we prevent this becoming an aspirational document which only gathers dust? For example, could we suggest that when future ATRTs review SO/AC accountability they make reference to these recommendations?
Jordan Carter: (11:35) I like that suggestion, Jan
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: (11:35) me too, Jan.
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (11:35) Steve, pls be carefull as there is a trade off between membership fee and costs
matthew shears: (11:39) Agree with the findings of the work group on MAR but it would be useful to have some process for sharing of best practices - with the best intentions informal sharing often does not occur
Steve DelBianco [GNSO-CSG]: (11:39) The Bylaws require independent reviews of each AC/SO (other than GAC) every 5 years. Those reviews could include comparison of each AC/SO with the "Best Practices"
Mark Carvell UK GAC rep: (11:40) @ Jan - very good suggestion on linking follow up and stock-take to ATRT.
Greg Shatan: (11:41) One could also recommend that groups with fees have a process for applying for reduced or waived fees based on financial concerns or criteria, rather than merely recommending that fees be as low as possible across the board.
Niels ten Oever: (11:42) @Jan +1
Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (11:42) @Greg : that practice would be covered if we say "as low as possible" right ?
Jordan Carter: (11:43) I think the gap is people honestly appraising the effectiveness or otherwise of the various parts of the system. It's part of the conversation that people seem to be most sensitive about. It's a bit of an "unaddressable issue" at the moment, seems to me. But a lot of the work done in WS1 and in this process is helping. We'll get there :-)
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): (11:43) Jan has a point... one of the plus of this setting is its ongoing character and its openness
Jordan Carter: (11:44) That should hopefully describe the culture we aspire to across the ICANN system, I think, Jorge
avri doria: (11:45) there are border issues about how one SOAC relates to another that could well be part of mutual accountability.
Jordan Carter: (11:45) and Alan's comment there a nice illustration about how we aren't there yet
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): (11:45) @Jordan: the question is whether we need this "permanent-contact group" for maintaining the flame alive...
Jordan Carter: (11:45) (well not nice, but you know what I mean)
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (11:46) Greg +1
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: (11:46) well said, Greg.
Jordan Carter: (11:46) Jorge: yeah. Well, not asking the leadership to have to defend/critique itself / each other all the time. This group has provided a space alongside but separate to the SOAC leadership. Which has probably allowed it to be a bit more open and creative.
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (11:47) I fully support the Mutual Accountability which is entire diufferent from Mutal round table accountability
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (11:49) Different instead of mistypied word
Greg Shatan: (11:50) @Mathieu, "as low as possible" is subject to multiple interpretations, but I don't think it expressly recommends or alludes to reduced fees and fee waiver processes, sliding scales, etc.
Steve DelBianco [GNSO-CSG]: (11:51) Good suggestions on the membership fees. Thanks all
Jordan Carter: (11:51) we need "permission to discuss"
matthew shears: (11:52) + 1 Avri
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (11:54) May be we call it " Mutual Accountabilit Process Between SOs/ACs"$
matthew shears: (11:54) perhaps finding a slot in ICANN meetings for such discussions on an onoing basis - such discussions should be F2F I suspect
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (11:56) Stecve ,That process could trigger the need for a wider scope on mutual Accountability
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (11:57) Thomas, it is important to allow further discussion on this important meeting
Steve DelBianco [GNSO-CSG]: (11:58) @Matthew -- please see page 32, Willie Curry's description. Is that what you would favor?
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: (11:59) I think the mythical complaints officer has been named today.
avri doria: (11:59) oh joy
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): (12:00) is it Solon?
Keith Drazek (RySG): (12:00) I don't have a problem with something like a mutual accountability engagement, but I don't think it needs to be a standing session at very AGM. It could be triggered on an as-needed basis if there's sufficient interest among SOs and ACs. Otherwise we might have a wasted and unecessary meeting once per year. A mechanism to trigger an ad hoc session really ought to be sufficient.
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: (12:00) I thought you might be excited by it Avri ð
avri doria: (12:01) no i am am not.
avri doria: (12:02) the role is still mythical even if the man did pick someone to fill it.
Malcolm Hutty: (12:02) We don't want to make it a principle that officers of SOACs are as accountable to each other as their are to their own constituencies.
avri doria: (12:02) the role has along way to go to gain any credibilty. that is has to earn and a job description is just aspirational.
matthew shears: (12:03) @ Steve - I think Keith's proposal above is correct - on an as needed basis - I think Willie's proposed structure is to burdensome
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: (12:03) a good topic for discussion with the CEO, Avri.
Sebastien (ALAC): (12:03) Krista Papac Named as ICANN Complaints Officer
Steve DelBianco [GNSO-CSG]: (12:04) This is the mutual accountability roundtable recc from Willie Currie: imagine a Mutual Accountability Roundtable that meets once a year at the ICANN meeting that constitutes the annual general meeting. The form would be a roundtable of the Board, CEO and all supporting organisations and advisory committees, represented by their chairpersons. The roundtable would designate a chairperson for the roundtable from year to year at the end of each AGM who would be responsible for the next Mutual Accountability Roundtable. There could be a round of each structure giving an account of what worked and didn’t work in the year under review, following by a discussion on how to improve matters of performance. The purpose would be to create a space for mutual accountability as well as a learning space for improvement.
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: (12:05) Agree with Mathieu.
Niels ten Oever: (12:05) Can we put the temperature up a bit in here?
ANAND MOHANDAS: (12:05) I just tweeted congrats to Krista Papac
matthew shears: (12:06) + 1 Niels - its chilly
Rafik: (12:06) @Niels it is intentional :p
Jordan Carter: (12:58) what will cold help us to achieve?
Brenda Brewer: (13:03) Welcome all to the afternoon session of the CCWG Acccountability Face to Face at ICANN58!
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): (13:04) My hotel room is warn but thanks for the tip - better stay here. - just for this afternoon. ;-)
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (13:10) If you have packed some scarves or shawls then they will come in handy Anne
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): (13:11) @Cheryl - yes I did - coming from Tucson I even brought a fake fur coat. which I'll remember to wear to the meetings.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (13:12) :-)
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (13:15) Yup we need to find a mutualy beneficial solution here @Avri
Jordan Carter: (13:18) I think the key point in Goran's conversation is that we need to find a format that works
Jordan Carter: (13:18) but we need to do that, in our Staff Acct work, in identifying issues of which this is an example, and looking at systemic solutions to them
Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (13:18) An identified issue for staff acct right ?
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (13:18) Avri, What do zou mean bz retaliation When ask a question and the staff showed, as zou said , the fear of retaliation, then it sound strage to hear that. What tzpe of question was that on which the staff refrained to replz being affraid of retaliation _ Pls kidlz explain
avri doria: (13:19) btw, i am not one who is afraid of retaliation as might be obvious.
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): (13:20) @Avri - good for y0u - that you are not fearful.
avri doria: (13:20) that is probably why so many tell me their compplaints and fears. and leave it to me to say something.
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): (13:20) Yes.
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (13:21) Whz the staff gave the impression that if he or she repled to zou he or she would be subject to retaliation _
avri doria: (13:24) every time i hear 'my staff' i cringe
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (13:26) If we ask the staff a critical ansd sensitive question that he or she need to coodinate with his or her supervisor, do we intreprete it as fear to replz_
Robin Gross [GNSO NCSG]: (13:27) I guess this is an example when simply voicing a concern is regarded as "impolite" and discouraged.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (13:30) Well said @Greg
Keith Drazek (RySG): (13:32) Clarifying roles, process and procedures is the key.
Jordan Carter: (13:34) A period of time being very careful about the signals that are sent, intentionally or otherwise, worth considering too.
ANAND MOHANDAS: (13:35) nice meeting u all
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): (13:36) @Keith - I thought it made sense for the CPH to ask to revisit the Policy & Implementation Working Group outcomes in terms of processes and procedures.
Mark Carvell UK GAC rep: (13:39) The relevance for the GAC is that when we defend ICANN in the UN and ITU it needs to be with utmost confidence that the bottom up model of governance works: otherwise we will lose ground in favour of multilateral governance. Talk of CEO/staff top down at odds with bottom up policy and of fear and friction over mistakes and oss of trust is quite worrying.
Lori Schulman: (13:40) Agree with Mark. Top down and bottom up should meet in the middle for a working entity
ANAND MOHANDAS: (13:41) Make the language simple
Keith Drazek (RySG): (13:42) I welcome Goran's statement that his management of the ICANN staff is not "bottom-up" because it shows he is ultimately responsible and accountable. He also made it clear that his managment of the ICANN staff is 100% in support of the bottom-up multistakeholder policy development work.
Robin Gross [GNSO NCSG]: (13:42) We can't forget that trust must be earned, not dictated, or it isn't really trust.
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): (13:43) @Mark - yes indeed and that is why we can't continue to have policy stand-offs that immobilize the Board on policy matters like IGO/RC. Either the Community must decide it will be happy with whatever the Board decides or else we need to learn to resolve differences before they reach the Board level.
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: (13:43) +1 Anne
Chris Wilson: (13:45) +1 Michael :)
Robin Gross [GNSO NCSG]: (13:49) +1 Phil
Michael Karanicolas: (13:50) +1 Phil. Questions around independence are really central to concerns about the CO, I think.
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): (13:54) What would be wrong about having Complaints officer report directly to Goran though?
Robin Gross [GNSO NCSG]: (13:55) I agree, Anne. I'm troubled by the conflict of interest of having this officer report to legal dept, given their legal fiduciary duty to protect the org
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): (13:58) @ Lori - =1 and this is the point robin is making
Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC): (13:59) +1 I mean ;-) And this is not about an individual, it is about structure that builds trust.
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (13:59) Individual staff accountabilitz with respect to the communitz should be done through the CEO and the Board
Malcolm Hutty: (14:02) KAvouss, I agree strongly. I am worried this staff accountability track seeks inappropriate community intervention in the chain of command. That wouldn't even improve overall accountability; it would limit the CEO's and the Board's control over, and thus accountability for, the staff's actions
Jordan Carter: (14:02) well, that's not what we want to achieve.
Jordan Carter: (14:02) to be clear, for the record, etc.
Malcolm Hutty: (14:04) I know. But I still worry about it. And the comments earlier this morning about reaching our for staff input, and staff not being willing to step forward, suggest they might worry about this too.
Jordan Carter: (14:04) I don't think the group has a mandate to do that
Keith Drazek (RySG): (14:04) Our focus should be on establishing a process or mechanism for addressing future systemic staff accountability concerns.
Jordan Carter: (14:04) and would strongly resist it going in that direction, as one of the rapporteurs of the group
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (14:05) Rather than speaking of so/called problem ,on abstract, we need to clearlz raise those actual and real problems
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (14:06) Once we identizf the real problem then we need to describe how to raise it
Greg Shatan: (14:11) Next slide please.
Jordan Carter: (14:11) why have the slides not moved?
matthew shears: (14:12) the slides have frozen in place like the the rest of us
Malcolm Hutty: (14:15) very droll
FIONA ASONGA: (14:17) +1 Tijani
Malcolm Hutty: (14:17) Well put Tijani
Daniel K. Nanghaka: (14:17) I agree with you Tijani
Greg Shatan: (14:21) @Erika, I think we need a definition of the wider community because we (the Community) represent the interests of the wider community, even though only a small piece of that community is actually participating in ICANN
Jan Scholte: (14:21) @Greg. I take the point that ICANN has wider constituencies than SOAC, but the suggested definition is too vague. What are the distinguishing features that will allow us to delimit 'populations', 'interests', 'responsibility'??Arguably the whole of humanity fits in in some way? with one or the other SOAC?
Greg Shatan: (14:22) I think we have too many existing uses of "Secretariat" in ICANN to adopt a new meaning for it.
Lori Schulman: (14:22) Agree with Avri on this one.
Lori Schulman: (14:23) Many have spoken with Goran about use of "organization" as have Stevel DelBianco and others...it is what it is...
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (14:23) Staff ! CEO be called Secretariat or HGeneral Secretariat and forget to define anz thing else than alreadz done
Michael Abejuela (ASO): (14:23) For clarity, I would suggest finding another word to describe distinct references rather than Wider Community and Empowered Community. Finding a distinct term for each would go a long way in keeping things not as confusing
Greg Shatan: (14:24) Wasn't it another C(C)WG that accomplished the transition? :-)
Jordan Carter: (14:24) I thoguht it was an ICG
Greg Shatan: (14:24) So did the ICG.
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (14:25) I am sorrz to saz that STAFF PLUS CEO is not organiyation I oppose to that
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (14:25) Sorrz to saz
Greg Shatan: (14:25) We are only defining terms for our documents, not proposing any "real world" changes.
Kavouss Arasteh 5: (14:26) ?w kewboqrd is noz corrected
ANAND MOHANDAS: (14:26) type it in a notepad and copy paste it
Greg Shatan: (14:27) +1 Thomas -- let's start with "general usage" and go from there.
Greg Shatan: (14:28) Although I liked my suggestion for all of ICANN: "ICANN The Universe" (acronym, ITU)
Julie Hammer (SSAC): (14:29) I had not realised that we were making a conclusion about using "Staff" vs "Organisation" so quickly. I would have voted for "Organisation".
Jan Scholte: (14:29) @Greg. That's the point - is there anyone on the planet who is not in one way or another part of ICANN's 'wider community'?
Jan Scholte: (14:29) @Greg. That' the point - is there anyone on the planet who is not in one way or another part of ICANN's 'wider community'?
Greg Shatan: (14:33) @Jan, I'm sure ALAC and NCSG would agree with you (but perhaps not with each other). For the other sectors, it is not the case. In any event, I don't think that erases the need for a term to refer to the broader group(s) that we stand in for.
Steve DelBianco [GNSO-CSG]: (14:33) What does "proportional" mean in Q4 ?
Steve DelBianco [GNSO-CSG]: (14:35) It's one thing to answer #4 regarding membership, but more difficult to answer regarding active participation.
Greg Shatan: (14:37) I took "skills" to mean "diverse skills" -- not diverse levels of skill.
Rafik: (14:38) yes Greg it is diversity of skills, never intended to put skills vs diversity
avri doria: (14:41) but if skills are not an element of diversity then they are counterposed.
avri doria: (14:42) and you end up with stmt like skills before diversity, when really they cannot be sperated from each other. skills in a diverse environemtn are different that skills in a mono environement.
Olga Cavalli (GAC Argentina): (14:49) +1 to JUlie´s comments
Alan Greenberg: (14:53) That is the problem with trying to capture an important concept with a single word which can be misinterpreted.
Rachel Pollack: (14:53) Could it be: "types of skills"
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): (14:54) normally there is some degree of bizarre obsession as Greg says :P
Greg Shatan: (14:58) Was linguistic diversity on the list?
Rafik: (14:59) yes, language
Greg Shatan: (14:59) Us monolingual anglophones should try to help, since we have no other language skills to offer, n'est ce pas?
Greg Shatan: (15:01) Should they also have captioning?
Rafik: (15:02) we had the captioning experiment for one call thanks to ALAc pilot project
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (15:06) and of course captioning can also be provided in many languages
avri doria: (15:08) becasue the other groups have not asked for it?
avri doria: (15:09) the other groups did not feel the need to make the request for their own reasons.
Rafik: (15:10) co-rapporteurs received a request for interpretation and put it under discussion in the subgroup.
Rafik: (15:10) a diversity subgroup has to live up the goal of improving diversity.....
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): (15:20) regarding the extension it would be good to have clear deadlines for concluding our work
matthew shears: (15:21) agree - while Septmber 30 would be nice end of calendar year I assume
stacy: (15:31) Audio seems to be gone.
Greg Shatan: (15:31) It's the end of the work as we know it, and I feel fine.
Seun: (15:32) not getting audio either
Mark Carvell UK GAC rep: (15:32) Having a clear timeline ensures momentum and planned commitment. Reasons for extension need clear rationale and the options for moving longer term work to ATRT reviews for example should be fully considered.
Brenda Brewer: (15:36) Apologies for audio and Adobe issue. This is now corrected.
Brenda Brewer: (15:36) Meeting will resume in 10 minutes
ANAND MOHANDAS: (15:45) ok
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): (15:56) I feel one package is more helpful
Kavouss Arasteh: (16:01) I thnik there is sme ground for incremental or stepwise approach
Sebastien (ALAC): (16:06) As I was not in the room, I can't raise my hand.
Chris Wilson: (16:06) +1 to Thomas's suggestion.
Michael Karanicolas: (16:06) +1 Thomas, that sounds like a good approach
Sebastien (ALAC): (16:06) What about overarching issues?
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (16:06) The final Work Product from our CCWG should for the future archive be able to be seen as a single Final product, *BUT* happy to deal with WT Outcomes (including PC for them) as they go , and to deal with some batching (think Volumes 1 & 2 etc., of a 'Single product outcome) with batching...
Robin Gross [GNSO NCSG]: (16:07) I think everyone agrees to have a final package, but the question is what to do before that final package and what remains open for horse trading before that final package. So getting the discrete issues tied off while waiting makes the most sense. And THEN the final package.
Jordan Carter: (16:07) Agree, Robin
matthew shears: (16:07) + 1
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (16:07) Yup
Jordan Carter: (16:07) and public comments on topics leading up to us finalising them
Jordan Carter: (16:08) then SO/AC approvals at a subsequent ICANN meeting
Jordan Carter: (16:08) and then final comments on any inconsistencies, fix it up, final sign off and then Board adoption
Jordan Carter: (16:08) avoiding "horse-trading" within the package, and between the CCWG process and any other party
Greg Shatan: (16:09) @Robin, it matches your hat.
ANAND MOHANDAS: (16:18) ok
Niels ten Oever: (16:21) Are members of the standing IRP panel compensated for their time and experise?
Niels ten Oever: (16:22) Is there also the possibility to submit Amicus Briefs that would be considered?
Samantha Eisner: (16:22) @Niels, we anticipate that there will have to be some retainer to make sure that the panel members remain available, and then they will be paid, pursuant to teh ICDR rules, by the hour for their service on IRP panels
Niels ten Oever: (16:26) @Sam Thanks! Sounds very reasonable
Michael Karanicolas: (16:31) Niels is all about the Latin today
Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (16:33) We are planning to request live Latin translation for the next plenary. struggling to fit it into the budget
Greg Shatan: (16:41) For the record, I've just looked at Annex 6. I see no mention of the Ruggie Principles in that document.
Niels ten Oever: (16:43) The slides with the picture for those interested: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_nllz_IRTF-2DHRPC_raw_master_Presentation-2520CCWG-2520plenary-2520F2F-2520March-25202017-2520ICANN58.pdf&d=DwIFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=kbiQDH54980u4nTPfwdloDLY6-6F24x0ArAvhdeDvvc&m=zOsm0hYHYkgeM4HWMxM9HTMNg9Cctr_sqGJ4Zy0hE6I&s=pfh_eiFLYlkLDCIomtLS7sRyTMT5UW_eEsjMkhlFHlU&e=
Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (16:44) They have been shared on the list as well
Niels ten Oever: (16:44) @greg - Did I imply the Ruggie Principles were mentioned in Annex 6 ? That was by no means my intention.
Seun Ojedeji: (16:49) CEP being?
Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (16:49) Cooperative Engagement Process
Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (16:50) Step prior to IRP

Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (16:54) Lori Schulman, rapporteur of the Good Faith Guidelines subgroup
Greg Shatan: (16:54) @Niels, no you did not imply that. It was implied in the Q&A afterwards.
Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong: (16:54) thanks
avri doria: (17:16) ultra marathon?
Mark Carvell UK GAC rep: (17:17) ad infinitum...
Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (17:17) For a number of ultra marathons the finish line is actually at the same point as the start. Just saying
Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (17:18) What matters is the journey
Leon Sanchez (CCWG Co-Chair, ALAC): (17:19) Infinite loop!
Seun Ojedeji: (17:20) hahahaha
Seun Ojedeji: (17:20) lol
matthew shears: (17:20) we're pivoting frantically
Seun Ojedeji: (17:21) Looks like Greg has lost some weight hopefully its not due to jurisdiction ;-)
