<div dir="ltr">Dear Council colleagues,<div><br></div><div>There is an ongoing discussion on the SO/AC leaders list about cross-community topics for ICANN61. Your SGs and Cs should all have recently received a reminder of the deadline for proposing topics: 30 November 2017.</div><div><br></div><div>I have excerpted the thread below started by Donna and contributed to by Farzaneh re proposing a GNSO PDP as a cross-community topic. This could be an opportunity to discuss a PDP's initial conclusions or differences of opinion/issues. If we think the policy development process would benefit from an opportunity for wide community discussion and consultation, this could be an opportunity (IGO/INGO Curative Rights was the first to come to my mind).</div><div><br></div><div>Is this something that we want to pursue? If so, needs to be actioned before end Thursday.</div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes,</div><div><br></div><div>Heather </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Greg Shatan</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gregshatanipc@gmail.com">gregshatanipc@gmail.com</a>></span><br>Date: Fri, Nov 24, 2017 at 5:29 AM<br>Subject: Re: [SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning] - ICANN61<br>To: farzaneh badii <<a href="mailto:farzaneh.badii@gmail.com">farzaneh.badii@gmail.com</a>><br>Cc: Mary Wong <<a href="mailto:mary.wong@icann.org">mary.wong@icann.org</a>>, "<a href="mailto:soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning@icann.org">soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning@icann.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning@icann.org">soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning@icann.org</a>>, Steve Chan <<a href="mailto:steve.chan@icann.org">steve.chan@icann.org</a>>, Mario Aleman <<a href="mailto:mario.aleman@icann.org">mario.aleman@icann.org</a>>, Rodrigo de la Parra <<a href="mailto:rodrigo.delaparra@icann.org">rodrigo.delaparra@icann.org</a>>, Patrik Fältström <<a href="mailto:paf.4711@gmail.com">paf.4711@gmail.com</a>>, John Curran <<a href="mailto:jcurran@arin.net">jcurran@arin.net</a>>, Zoe Bonython <<a href="mailto:zoefrabon@gmail.com">zoefrabon@gmail.com</a>>, Gulten Tepe <<a href="mailto:gulten.tepe@icann.org">gulten.tepe@icann.org</a>>, Maria Otanes <<a href="mailto:maria.otanes@icann.org">maria.otanes@icann.org</a>>, GACLEADERSHIP <<a href="mailto:gac-leadership@icann.org">gac-leadership@icann.org</a>>, "<a href="mailto:team-leaders@icann.org">team-leaders@icann.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:team-leaders@icann.org">team-leaders@icann.org</a>><br><br><br><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I think Donna raised a number of excellent points, and I agree with Tijani and Farzaneh's responses. In particular, I think we need to confront the issue that Farzi raised, which I call the issue of "ownership" of a given session. I'll suggest two or three possible solutions:</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">1. Make it crystal clear that the proposing SOACetc. does <u>not</u> own the session. It does not get to determine the slant or the dominant point of view, or the facilitator or the panelists. This should be done by a small cross-community planning team for each CC session, sharing the planning burden and seeking to put together a well-rounded panel with points and counterpoints well-represented and well-balanced. This does not require every SOACetc. to get a seat at the table, but it does require an understanding and accommodation of the differing (and often, conflicting) points of view.</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><b><u>OR</u></b></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><b><u><br></u></b></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">2. Acknowledge that some (but not all) of the sessions will be owned by the proposer and will be intended to provide (or at least be dominated by) one point of view or several largely aligned points of view. Perhaps these could be called <b>"Community-to-Community" </b>sessions. These could be compared to IGF sessions to some extent. At a following ICANN meeting, another SOACetc. could put together a different C2C session with their "counterpoint" point of view (and neighboring views) dominating. In each case, the audience will provide the counterpoints, but it will be understood how the panel itself is intended to be chosen and work in practice.</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">The angst has arisen because fairly "hot" topics have been proposed as Cross-Community sessions, and the tussle arises between those who believe the proposer gets to shape the session around their views and those who believe the panel should be balanced. A secondary tussle arises because the proposer puts in a lot of effort and believes that those who want a seat at the table (especially later in the process) are "free-loading". A clear decision in advance would solve the first problem, and quick invitations to the planning process would solve the second.</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">As for the conflicts/breadth of interest issues, I think we should acknowledge that some topics have interest for virtually every community, while others may only be of interest to some (but not all) communities. We should manage conflicts accordingly. In other words, if Topic 1 is of interest to communities A,B and C, but not D, E and F, then a second session or sessions of interest to D, E and/or F can be scheduled against Topic 1. The alternative leaves the less-interested communities with no compelling session to attend during the unconflicted CC Topic time. Perhaps the topics where only some communities are interested could be called <b>"Multi-Community Sessions (A, B, C)" </b>[where A, B and C are the relevant communities] to distinguish them from true <b>"Cross-Community"</b></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">On a related note, the way that voting in this group is weighted can result in some topics of interest to many or all of the communities grouped under the GNSO (Registries, Registrars, ISPs, Business, IP, Non-Commercial Users, Non-Profits) but only some of the other communities losing out as Cross-Community topics because the GNSO is only given a single vote. This needs to be addressed in some fashion, perhaps through the Multi-Community Sessions.</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">In any event, these are largely "parting notes," as my term of office as IPC President ends November 30. It's been a pleasure working with all of you and I'm sure we will have many other opportunities to work together in various contexts. You and the IPC will be in the good hands of my successor, Brian Winterfeldt, while Vicky Sheckler will be continuing as Vice President.</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating,</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Best regards,</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Greg Shatan</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">IPC President</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"> </div></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 17, 2017 at 1:36 PM, farzaneh badii <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:farzaneh.badii@gmail.com" target="_blank">farzaneh.badii@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="m_-2334861723091761289m_6312456327656554606gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Farzaneh </font></div></div></div></div>

I am concerned that we are in some way being hamstrung by what we think these Sessions are supposed to be rather than taking a look at the sessions conducted to date and thinking about what has worked well, what we could improve upon, and perhaps coming up with some level principles for the Sessions that we could agree on moving forward.<u></u><u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)"> </span></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">For example, I don’t personally subscribe to the view that every SO/AC has to be represented on a panel to convey their point of view. This might be helpful if the purpose of the Session is to be ‘informational’, but if the intent of the Session is to garner community views on a particular topic or find a path forward to resolve a difficult situation then I don’t believe that a panel of talking heads will achieve that goal. In Johannesburg facilitators were used for the geographic names discussion, which appeared to work well and by all accounts achieved the objectives of those who organized the session.

If facilitators don't do anything other than just moderating, reading questions and trying to stimulate a discussion then that's fine but I am skeptical whether this can actually happen. so two minutes interventions from the community members with no one on the panel other than the facilitators. Now, who would set the scene? The facilitators?
