I would probably take the view that I am responding on my own behalf or that of Valideus, rather than as a part of the GNSO, eg IPC, since I don?t have any official capacity to speak for the IPC. But in which case, who would ever respond that they were taking this survey on behalf of a part of the GNSO? And what is the purpose of this question anyway: If it is to capture people?s affiliations then it does not do so if they answer in the same way that I probably would; Even if they respond that they are answering on behalf of a part of the GNSO, then this does not really capture that they may have affiliations with more than one part, eg IPC or BC *and* RySG/NTAG Mike Rodenbaugh RODENBAUGH LAW tel/fax: +1.415.738.8087 http://rodenbaugh.com On Thu, Jul 31, 2014 at 11:16 AM, Larisa B.

Working Groups are tasked by specific Charter to address a specific policy issue. At the conclusion of the Working Group efforts, their results are returned to the GNSO Council to [need the specific language as to the next step Council takes]. The Working Group model that has been implemented in the last GNSO Review is effective in accomplishing its purpose. Again, I defer to Chuck on this because he is so deeply familiar with this specific topic. Thank you, RA Ron Andruff dotSport LLC www.lifedotsport.com From: Larisa B.

I am concerned about such a broad question because I am afraid that we will get answers all over the place depending on the different levels of experience people have had. What about a few specific questions like the following, which could following the first two introductory sentences from Ron. I don't think the third one is needed. a. Are any interested stakeholders prevented from participating in WGs? If so, why? b. How would you rate the leadership of WGs? c. How would you rate the staff support for WGs? d. How would you rate the level of understanding about the complexities of a bottom-up multistakeholder process by each of the following groups? i. Board members ii. ICANN Executives & Senior Managers iii. Community members outside of the GNSO iv. GNSO participants who have never participated in a WG v. GNSO participants who have participated in at least one WG A common complaint is that WGs take too long to complete their task. a. Do you agree with this assessment? b. If so, what would you recommend to speed up the process? (Choose as many as desired; note that the ideas listed are just a sampling of possible ideas.) i. Meet more frequently ii. Divide policy development topics into smaller, more manageable subtopics iii. Reduce the amount of public comment time iv. Increase the voting threshold for initiating a WG v. Restrict the number of participants in a WG from each interest group vi. Make it a prerequisite that impacted parties regularly and constructively participate in the WG if they want to oppose WG recommendations at the end of the process vii. Hold more in-person WG meetings viii. Subsidize participation for needy individuals and groups ix. Other: (provide text box) Of course, I welcome critique of these suggested questions.

Working Groups are tasked by specific Charter to address a specific policy issue. At the conclusion of the Working Group efforts, their results are returned to the GNSO Council to [need the specific language as to the next step Council takes]. The Working Group model that has been implemented in the last GNSO Review is effective in accomplishing its purpose. Again, I defer to Chuck on this because he is so deeply familiar with this specific topic. Thank you, RA Ron Andruff dotSport LLC www.lifedotsport.com From: Larisa B.

The GNSO Review Working Group along with policy staff can provide guidance to Westlake Governance on which Working Groups would be good candidates for review. As for the inclusion of the Working Group model in the 360 Assessment, what do you think about the following: New question: The general purpose of a GNSO Working Group is to accomplish a chartered task by enlisting broad participation from throughout the Internet community. The Working Group model implemented as the result of the last GNSO Review is effective in accomplishing its general purpose. The question would have all the same answer options as other questions, including a text box for additional feedback.

For my part, I think it would be prudent to have at least one question on the effectiveness of WGs and perhaps another to flesh out the community?s overall view of them. Let?s do our best to address this key aspect. Thanks for bringing it forward Chuck.

Gurnick; gnso-review-dt at icann.org Cc: Richard G A Westlake Subject: [gnso-review-dt] RE: GNSO Review 360 Assessment - Revised I just completed the survey in a little over 30 minutes. I answered questions for the GNSO Council and the RySG but I did not respond the last three open ended questions. I think the assessment is looking very good. Because working groups are such an important part of the GNSO, I think it is unfortunate that there are no questions about them. At the same time I also am not in favor of trying to accomplish too much in one survey so I am not advocating that we add more questions at this time.

The revised 360 Assessment is available here. Please provide your final feedback and any additional comments from your constituencies by August 1, 23:59 UTC. The responder now has the option of skipping the detailed questions pertaining to the GNSO Council, Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies. A responder who is directly involved or is a close observer in any of these groups, will be able to answer detailed questions for as many groups as he/she would like. The introductory language will be further refined to provide a clear roadmap of the different sections of the Assessment and the options available to the responder. Please note that staff is in the process of completing a detailed proofing and editing to ensure proper spelling, capitalization, definition of acronyms, etc. Thank you for your feedback and commitment to making this assessment useful and informative.

You can read the Announcement and take the assessment here. A number of outreach and engagement activities are underway - webinars, blogs, social media support and invitations to community to participate. Westlake will provide regular updates on the number of responses. Richard Westlake and his team will join the Working Party call this week to provide you an update on how your feedback on survey design and questions was incorporated and why modifications were made in a few cases. While 360 Assessment responses are being gathered, the review work now turns to analysis of documents and records and plans for interviews. We look forward to your continued guidance to ensure that the Westlake team has access to key information and people to make informed assessments. This will be part of the discussion at this week's call. Best wishes, Larisa Larisa B.

If there are any additional outreach efforts that the Working Party would like to engage in, please let me know and I will be happy to follow up. CURRENT SURVEY PROGRESS Please find below some charts regarding the progress of the 360 Assessment. The following analysis has been provided by Westlake. * The current response numbers are 72 questionnaires started and 38 completed.
