[CCWG-ACCT] Notes-Recordings-Transcript links for CCWG ACCT Meeting #68 - 17 November

Wed Nov 18 23:38:52 UTC 2015

Dear Co-Chairs,

I don't think it's appropriate to give an impression that what is said on
the list does not matter unless one says it during the call. I clearly
stated that what was proposed by Jordan required some reconsideration yet
the minutes of the last call did not take note of that.

*4. PDP interaction with Standard Bylaws Veto*

·        Proposal that PDP changes come through as a package.

·        Read the full proposal here:
http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/accountability-cross-community/2015-November/008104.html

·        No objection to the proposal.

Even though one expect the communities will not veto bylaw change that
emanated from a PDP. It is procedurally wrong to subject outcome of a PDP
to community veto. Providing such option opens up can of worms that those
who have made this decision may not be there to resolve. The fact that the
board approves a policy that emanated out of PDP (which is a bottom up
process) implies board's commitment to implement the spirit of the policy
and it is if/when the implementation is not rightly done that it should be
questioned. Actual implementation of a policy SHOULD not be open to
community veto! Even if the policy requires a bylaw change so long as it
went through PDP and so long as board approves it, it should be final.

Overall I think the CCWG is creating too much stumbling block to make an
organisation board act efficiently.
