[Capacity-Building-WG] 2015 Program

[Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond]

Dear Tijani,

thank you for this program. However, I would like to point out several
things:

1 - The program appears to have one capacity building Webinar per month,
when I really feel that there needs to more more than one Webinar a
month since there are so many issues which our community needs to learn
about. In fact, I am sure that more issues are going to come up within
the next 12 months, so there appears to be no free slots at the moment.
Have you reserved a 2nd slot every month that's free for additional topics?

2 - There appears to be no Webinar about ICANN Accountability and its
processes composed of the ICANN-side reviews as well as about the ATRT,
ATRT2 etc. The Accountability thread is just about to start so this is
surprising. Also missing from the topics of interest, how about
- Privacy/WHOIS/NextGen RDS,
- an appraisal of the new gTLD program (how many delegations, what the
current issues are, like Geographic names and restricted strings etc.),
- A presentation about Compliance - how do to complain if I have issues
with WHOIS records etc.
- how does the ccNSO work? Who are members, how is the council taking
decisions, where does I do policy?
- how do I get involved in Numbers Policy? How does this affect me? How
do I get busy in RIR policy making?
- where are we with IDNs? Is there more work needed? Can I help?
etc.
These are all issues for end users.

3 - there appears to be 5 Webinars about IANA & the NTIA Stewardship
Transition. I remind you that the first proposals of the operational
community will be filed by the end of November, with public comment
period etc. and the first drafts will be received by the IANA
Coordination Group (ICG) in early January.

Also, as far as the IANA Naming CWG is concerned, its work timetable is on:

Having a Webinar on the IANA functions on 12 December 2014 is making it
really too late already. Having Webinars on the Standards Function
(April 2015), Numbering Function (May 2015), Naming Function (June
2015), and "NTIA Stewardship Transition" (September 2015) seems
pointless since this is after all of the transition work will have
already been completed. At that point in time, I don't see the point of
explaining the proposal since it will be too early to know if the US
Dept. of Commerce accepts it.

Kind regards,

Olivier
