[CCWG-ACCT] [WP1] New section - ICANN Community Assembly

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hi,

Oh there is another one called PAF? May I know what that means please (lots
of acronyms). That said, I am of the following opinion:
- I don't see any need for such mini groups
- A community forum should indeed be a forum and open to all those
interested and not for representatives.
- Such forum should hold during 1 of the ICANN public meetings to remove
any cost implications
- The need to exercise any community power should be based on the
statements made by each community (after consultation with their respective
communities, who would have participated in the community forum).
- Such statements could then trigger a ccwg(that basically consists of the
existing community leaders), who then compile high-level views on an issue
to serve as the consensus voice of the entire community
- The action/inaction of the board on such single statement would determine
whether certain community powers would then be implemented.

Overall, the current way of communicating individual SO/AC views to the
board needs to be maintained and the need to have a single view that could
lead to exercising community powers should be an act of escalation.

What i have written above may not be a desirable solution but my point is
for us to avoid de-fragmenting the community unnecessarily as it could
increase likelihood of capture and reduce diversity of views.

Regards
