the Chair will be one that must recuse his or herself to ensure neutrality or
whether the Chair can participate/advocate in the work and deliberations of the
RT. My view is that, given the relatively small size of the group, and
the fact that each participant was selected for their respective experience and
expertise, it would be short sighted to insist that the Chair be recused from
the RT work. I would recommend that the Chair’s primary functions be to
ensure that the organization of the RT’s work be well managed – essentially
that the “trains run on time” and that the Chair should otherwise participate
in the RT’s work. I am interested to hear other views on this question.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

this discussion on the "what have you improved" questions, and avoid
discussions about ancient, or not so ancient, history. I also think that
we may want to acknowledge upfront that the AoC is a fairly recent
event, that there has been a lot of change in the period since the AoC was
signed, and that we have a realistic view about what progress could have been
made during that period. Accordingly, I would expect a significant part
of the discussion to be about establishing a baseline for measuring future
improvements and about getting the staff to tell us about their plans for those
future improvements. </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:0cm'><span style='color:black'>I have attached as a Word document
and pasted below, a first cut at questions/issues for staff in Marina del
Rey. I suspect that we could profitably spend a lot of time on just a
subset of these, but tried to be more rather than less complete. Also, I
think that there are some pretty important questions we need to answer soon
regarding structure and participation. In particular:</span><span

<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:black'>* <b><i>What ICANN staff
will be participating in our discussions in Marina del Rey</i></b><i>?
Some of the new hires are not listed on the staff directory – some key
folks located outside of California.</i> </span><span style='font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:black'>* Another key issue is how
we would like to interact with staff. As a large group? Broken out
by department/role? Any that we want to meet with individually, either
now or later? What ground rules do we need to ensure an open dialogue?

for F2F in Marina del Rey</span></u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:0cm'><span style='color:black'>1. Provide and discuss
the ICANN staff org chart – who does what? What is the reporting
structure? Where (in the world) do people sit? How do key staff
members spend their time? While this seems basic, it is not well
understood by members of the ICANN community. Moreover, there have been
significant staffing changes in the last few months that it would be helpful to
understand. </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:0cm'><span style='color:black'>2. What does the staff
view as its key tasks with respect to A&T, and how is responsibility for
those tasks allocated? </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:0cm'><span style='color:black'>3. In addition to the
Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation, what documents do staff rely on to fulfill
ICANN’s accountability and transparency obligations. Where do the 2008
Management Operating Principles, the PSC report, other documents fit in?
Are there internal policies or procedures in place for ensuring that
accountability and transparency issues are considered at appropriate junctures?
How are accountability and transparency issues included/considered in
strategic planning and budgeting?</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:0cm'><span style='color:black'>4. <a name=91></a>One
of the challenges for the AT Review Team is to identify metrics for measuring
improvement under the AoC tasks. What does the staff suggest?
What should we focus on, what should our priorities be? For
this first review, what realistically can we measure as accomplishments, what
should we look at as “works in progress”? With respect to those works in
progress, how should they be measured going forward?</span><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:0cm'><span style='color:black'>5. We have reviewed the
various comments submitted on the AoC review process, as well as the staff
summary of those comments. Which points seem most important/relevant to
staff?</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:0cm'><span style='color:black'>6. What observations
can ICANN staff make with respect to progress the AoC commitment to maintain
and improve robust mechanisms for public input, accountability, and
transparency so as to ensure that the outcomes of its decision-making will
reflect the public interest and be accountable to all stakeholders by?
Any improvements we should pay particular attention to? </span><span

<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:0cm'><span style='color:black'>In addition to general
reflections on these issues, the Team seeks staff views on progress and plans
with respect to the following: </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:black'>(a) Assessing and
improving ICANN Board of Directors (Board). Have steps been taken to
improve Board performance that may not be apparent to the community (e.g.,
training for members). Are there changes in the Board selection process,
and is sufficient attention given to the ways in which Board composition meets
ICANN's present and future needs?</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:72.0pt'><span style='color:black'>- Observations on the ways
in which staff interacts with Board – has that changed, is it improving, are
there ways in which it can be improved?</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:black'>(b) What are the staff
views on the way the current accountability mechanisms work – ombuds,
reconsideration, IRP? What about the various institutional review
processes? How are consultants selected, terms of reference set, etc.?
How does staff use the information in these reviews?</span><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:black'>(c) What are the staff
observations about the role and effectiveness of the GAC and its interaction
with the Board? What improvements have been/are being implemented, and
how is that working? How does staff communicate with the GAC when it
seeks public policy input from the GAC? </span><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:black'>(d) What are the
staff’s observations about the processes by which ICANN receives public input?
In general, how would the staff rate public input? What
improvements have been/are being implemented? Who synthesizes, and how is
input summarized/communicated to the Board? There are many sets of
public comments that are listed as “awaiting summary/analysis.” Is that
due to a resource issue, to the fact that the issues have been overtaken by
events? Is there a better way to do this? </span><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:black'>(e) What are the
staff’s observations about the degree to which ICANN's decisions are embraced,
supported and accepted by the public and the Internet community? </span><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:black'>(f) Does the staff
have views, suggestions of ways in which the policy development process can
facilitate enhanced cross community deliberations and effective and timely
policy development? What kind of support does staff provide to the PDP,
and how effective is it? Are there enough resources to provide necessary
support?</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
