so how do make sure we don't stick with beautiful words.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#333333">Rafik Dammak - we should proceed by requirements and recommendations for this office.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#333333">Lousewies van der Laan - On Board call there were requests as to what this office would be about. Authority of this person would need
to be accepted by all the community - what is the added value - concern if this is pushed by one person or office is only looking at the ICANN context vs all the community and what would be the budget implications for something like this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#333333">avri doria: as if the corporation was always in the process of adding positions<o:p></o:p></span></p>

it the WS2 caucus<o:p></o:p></span></p>

what is the need. Also office could define diversity criteria. Should take note of this and clarify this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#333333">Mathieu Weill: Lousewies, this feedback is quite useful. I guess there are concIt's always better when diversity initiatives are led
by the CEOrete tasks to carry out (such as data collection) and also some leadership to demonstrate on day to day basis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#333333">Renata Aquino Ribeiro: i'd just note that many corporations have diversity offices, it's not a new practice so it does have accountability

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#333333">Sebastien Bachollet - First step is to gather data, if there is no data how to improve data collection and then to look at how to improve.
This is not the time to talk about costs - are we scrutinizing the creation of the Complaints office this way? We are just trying to find the need to enhance accountability and diversity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#333333">Avri Doria - (audio issues) there is a duality to this office there is the staff side and then the community leadership - the second
is more for our focus. Look at this function vs our needs, possibly in the policy group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#333333">Lousewies van der Laan: I think there is a difference between organisations or corporations that have a diversity officer/policy AND
what I thought we were talking about: someone who can encourage diversity throughout the whole community. Or did I misunderstand?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#333333">Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): and the mere existence of such an office does not have a guaranteed close correlation with diversity results,
but if it exists and is well supported and able to evangelise and facilitate as well as record and report<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#333333">Lousewies van der Laan - Companies have diversity officer etc but for staff. If diversity is for the community elements, given our
model is unique it would be very difficult to impose anything to those elements of the community - we need to focus on how to get there. Diversity has to be part of all segments of an organization - creating an extra position - is this the way forward given
the uniqueness of ICANN.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#333333">Mathieu Weill - Interesting feedback from Board. Proposal for an office suffers from being the first proposal - while it should only
be conceived as one step of a more general approach – RD will recirculate the paper and recommendations but these cannot begin with an office and I certainly understand the reaction of the Board. It starts with a goal, its starts with diversity being officially
a goal, part of the strategic plan with specific initiatives as mentioned by LVL, specific targets and then there are tasks to track progress, share best practices that will be filled by the ICANN staff since these cannot be filled by volunteers in a sustainable
way. I think this is where the Office – I think it has to change names – is going to fit. My suggestion is that we look at the whole set of recommendations and probably put on top the ones that are more inspirational and explain that the idea of an Office
– or whatever it is called – is only part of the system that we are putting in place to enhance ICANN … and that we are tackling several aspects at a time and that this functions is only there to support the initiative – the leadership for this needs to come
from the community, the Board the executive leadership of ICANN.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#333333">Rafik Dammak - AOB we received a request a few days ago for interpretation services on our calls, given English is a barrier to participation
for some in this work. We would like to send a request for interpretation to the plenary - would this be ok?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#333333">Bernard Turcotte – Please note that any such request should be specific as to what your are requesting (how many languages etc.). Also,
important to note that this falls under the ICANN portion of the budget and that it is not budgeted for in this current fiscal year. Even if the plenary approves this there is no guarantee the money can be found.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#333333">Lousewies van der Laan: Interpretation would be good, but then lets also promote that we have it in those languages, in order to encourage
others to join - If we do interpretation and no one uses is a waste - if we do it - we need to promote it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
