ICANN is expected to run all of the stakeholder engagement and we would like it to do more

I agree with Olivier that this causes measurement problems

Hello all,

I must say likewise, I am also somehow confused by: "suitable for a non-profit organization".
There are countless different types of non-profit organizations with varying budgets and on the matter of budget, ICANN is rather special in that it is supporting a global bottom-up multi-stakeholder policy development process... possibly the only one of its kind in existence (dare I say, in the universe?). Surely that complicates matters?

Kind regards,

Olivier

Hi, my concern is the words will ultimately prove unworkable and be unable to be implemented.

Can someone nominate a ' suitable not for profit '

What are the standards of the other organisation ?

Hi Stephen,

The exact current text was agreed by the team at a conference call earlier this month. The last part of paragraph 12.3 is a result of comments from the last round of public comments.
There are no preconceived agendas – and deviations go both ways. So I don’t think we go too far regarding intent.
Furthermore I am not sure I understand your comment about benchmarking not being the only item to consider when trying to attract staff.
I find that the paragraph is an important part of being accountable and ensuring that ICANN is accountable.

Best,
Lise

Hi all
Could I indicate I do not support Lise current paragraph 12.3
It is far too restrictive in its intent
Benchmarking is important but should not be the only item to consider when trying to attract staff

The ATRT must  not simply push preconceived agendas

Lise,
Confirmed.  The following wording is currently included in the report, in the Executive Summary as well as the body of the report.

12.3  Every three years the Board should conduct a benchmark study on relevant parameters, (e.g. size of organization, levels of staff compensation and benefits, cost of living adjustments, etc.) suitable for a non-profit organization.  If the result of the benchmark is that ICANN as an organization is not in line with the standards of comparable organizations, the Board should consider aligning the deviation. In cases where the Board chooses not to align, this has to be reasoned in the Board decision and published to the Internet community.

12.4  In order to improve accountability and transparency  ICANN’s Board should base the yearly budgets on a multi-annual strategic plan and corresponding financial framework [covering e.g. a three-year period] This rolling plan and framework should reflect the planned activities and the corresponding expenses in that multi-annual period. This should include specified budgets for the ACs and SOs. ICANN’s [yearly] financial reporting shall ensure that it is possible to track ICANN’s activities and the related expenses with particular focus on the implementation of the [yearly] budget. The financial report shall be subject to public consultation.

Hi Brian,

I would like to keep the previous edition of 12.4 and I hope that 12.3 still reads:


12.3   Every three years the Board should conduct a benchmark study on relevant parameters, (e.g. size of organization, levels of staff compensation and benefits, cost of living adjustments, etc.) suitable for a non-profit organization.  If the result of the benchmark is that ICANN as an organization is not in line with the standards of comparable organizations, the Board should consider aligning the deviation. In cases where the Board chooses not to align, this has to be reasoned in the Board decision and published to the Internet community.

Best regards and have a happy holiday,
Lise

Lise,

I have added footnotes with quotes from public comments to the report as well as a few edits.  I intended those edits to add support to the recommendations.  If you are uncomfortable with the impact on the recommendations you drafted, by all means fell free to change th to reflect the intent of your draft.

Beat,
Brian

Hi Larisa,

I have a few remarks.

I am not happy with the changes Sabra made on page 12 to recommendation 12.4. I think the new wording changes the recommendation too much. I furthermore don’t understand why the review team suddenly is a part of the recommendation. The changes are not in the same recommendation on page 81. I prefer the “original” version on page 81.

At page 79 there is a comment from [s36] about “whose comments is this?”

The section referred to is a part of the section above and is a part of the RySG comments to recommendation 12.4.

I hope this is understandable.
Have a nice weekend – and a Merry Christmas/holidays

Best,
Lise
