<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Hi all<br>
<br>
Xinsheng makes a good point about</font><font
face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> 'the candidate selection
criteria and procedures, budget and
financial requirements, implementation process monitoring and quality
control,
the output evaluation standards and procedures' but these do not need
to delay the publication of the RFP. I support Fabio's suggestion that
we address these criteria and procedural elements in Brussels as it
would be easier to discuss them in a face-to-face meeting.</font>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><br>
<br>
On the issue of addressing the quality of ICANN decsion-making, I
think Brian's suggestion that we look for 'candidates for case
studies' in the responses to the questions to the community and in
our meetings with the various constituencies in Brussels is a good way
of addressing the quality question. It would enable the management
review consultant to explore concrete examples of ICANN decision-making
in practice and assess what they tell us about the quality ICANN's
decision-making process (how good or bad it is) and thereby help us
make a judgment on ICANN's accountability procedures. I think our
decision to remove the words referring to 'quality' from the RFP should
suffice for now and then we can examine the issue of 'clear standards
and baseline being set for judging whether the quality is good or bad
regarding decision-making', as Xinsheng suggests, in more detail in
Brussels. I think it is too difficult to have such a discussion in a
teleconference.My viewpoint is that it is the RT's responsibility to
make a judgment on the quality of ICANN's decision-making based on the
evidence that the management review consultant gathers. </font>

the full RT) at the September meeting. By then it would far too

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">On the basis of our
discussion in
the conference call, I would like to share my further thoughts on the
RFP with
all of you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">I share the views
with some of you
that the RT might need to study a pack of specific issues before the
publication of the RFP, for instance, the candidate selection criteria
and
procedures, budget and financial requirements, implementation process
monitoring and quality control, the output evaluation standards and
procedures,
etc. Otherwise, we have reason to be concerned that if those issues are
not
appropriately handled but to make a rush to give birth to the RFP, the
working
quality of the RT is somewhat compromised and the credibility of the
deliverables will be sort of weakened. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Second, the aim of
the RT from my
perspective is to ensure the accountability and transparency of ICANN
processes
and procedures. While the term, quality of decision-making, seems to me
is a
rather vague one. It looks that no clear standards and baseline being
set for judging
whether the quality is good or bad regarding decision-making. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Lastly, as we all
agree, the review
process conducted referring to the AOC 9.1 (a…e) is the way we follow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Best regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
