<p>There is a fair bit of discussion going on in NCSG re: this
letter announcing that the board will vet participation in one of
the current accountability mechanisms -- questions are around is
this appropriate, is it even legal? <br>
</p>
<p>Should we be discussing this as well? The letter was sent by Leon
as chair of the Board Accountability Cttee to all community
leaders. See link below.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Starting this as a separate thread as I think it is an
important discussion to have.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As a relative newcomer, I'm mostly interested in knowing
how often has the Board undertaken such a vetting process for
participation in any form of PDP (taken broadly).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That an SO/AC chooses its own people is one thing, but here
the Board has, in effect, the last say.</div>

<div dir="auto">I have to say I am stunned by the board
decision to be involved in vetting the applicants for IOT
membership. This is the group that is going to come up
with procedures to hold the board accountable. Board
decided to have a say in the selection? This is
astonishing. I don't know how the board doesn't see what
is wrong with such involvement. </div>

letter to the board and remind them what IOT is for! </div>

IOT has very important work remaining,
including the finalization of a set of
Updated Supplementary Procedures that
will define the conduct of IRPs and
assure that the purposes of the IRP
are upheld. These Procedures must also
align with principles of international
arbitration. As a result, those
members of our community that you
identify and encourage to join the
IOT, should have the necessary legal
or judicial skills and experience in
disputes such as IRPs, arbitrations,
or other alternate dispute resolution
processes. Specific familiarity with
ICANN’s accountability mechanisms is
another important skill that we hope
to see amongst new members. No single
candidate must bring all of this
experience, but as we look at the IOT
as a whole, we are striving for a
variety of experiences that, taken
together, make the IOT well-suited to
finalize a set of procedures to
conduct IRP proceedings. IOT members
must also have the time and
availability to attend at least a one
hour call each week to participate on
IOT telephonic meetings, as well as
sufficient availability to contribute
to the work online. </span></p>
