Agenda

Meeting with CSC Effectiveness Review Team
1. Welcome
From RT: Donna Austin, Jonathan Robinson (RySG), Sean Copeland (ccNSO), apology Maarten Simon (ccNSO

Discussion helpful for the group
General observation: CSC is in good shape as anticipated

2. Discussion CSC-Effectiveness RT
Brett spokesperson CSC.

Topics:

  *   Chair of the CSC: Should Chair be a member of the CSC or is it just “preferred”? Does language in Charter need to be updated ?
Background: Developed charter, preference member of Recognize.   Lars- Liman is liaison
Brett: limited number of members may at times require flexibility.
Discussion that members need to be present. Issue that because limited number of member both be a new member and churn does not leave the CSC in comfortable place. Fall back to liaison. Good flexibility ensure to have same kind of approach.
Liman concurs with Brett,
Observation Jonathan: current experience, useful language: language feels about right. Formulation quite to the point.

No further comment


  *   Frequency of meetings
In developing the charter, and importance of the role, especially taking into. Account possibility of escalation, monthly meeting was needed, welcomed, foundation document
Most of business in 20-30 minutes: is frequency needed?
Also in relation with scope. If CSC would like to take on larger role?

Brett: on monthly basis limited time
If that would be the case.
If report does not need any discussion. If scope needs to be expended, more work to be done
No need to become more agile, about fallback.

Liman: current balance is good in light of scope.There was time low work load. Keeping current cadence
Meeting rotate through time zones.

Number of meetings: if fewer meetings with same issue.  Monthly update that does not require discussion. If not meeting in zoom. People need to confirm
Absolute minimum to maintain relations at least every two-months
Is work affected by pandemic? Need for cohesion, some of the members never met in person.
Pandemic has not affected direct work: it naturally affects relationship, not just CSC but all groups.
Attending from Sydney is a long haul. Meet during ICANN meeting good thing do, does not preclude participating in zoom.


  *   Will the CSC be able to keep attracting qualified members and liaisons?
Need to line up people.  Thankful everyone has expressed willingness to continue.
Have all appointing organizations assigned people to the CSC?

How interesting is the work: Is there a  need to market what the CSC is doing and its value
Anybody?

Responses:
Not all organizations have assigned people.  SSAC declined structurally after first term. Lesser priority cannot find commitment. Low level of nominations
Observation Sean: look at how I came to be here, I found the work interesting, but I found the description of qualifications were excluding, so I would not have normally applied even though I had interest.


  *   Scope of CSC activities
Result of initial conversation with CSC. From RT perspective: During the Stewardship transition process there was a point in creation of CSC it was discussed whether the CSC should take on broader role. In the end the CSC was tasked with  a limited role:  monitor PTI performance.
What would happen if role of CSC would be broadened?
Brett:  suggest to this question in context of next question.


  *   Regular Review of adequacy of SLAs and related thresholds?

Liman: Compared of the work of the CSC with maintenance program for car.
Certification gap IDN. Focus should remain limited.
Issues emerge over long-term. Review may help for long-term and to be approved

Nuanced distinction: existing accountability mechanism. What value would broader scope CSC add in wider context?
Example: CSC identified gap in IDN related process and discussion around monitoring DNSsec key roll-over (discussed by the CSC in 2019). In latter case already extensive accountability mechanism in place, additional role add hardly any value, if at all.

Appropriate to check accountability. Structure may need to be reviewed. Brett: defer until future. The CSC is not seeking additional work i.e looking for things to do. However a regular review (whatever regular means) might be appropriate.
Kim Davies: Adequacy of current SLAs. CSC is well placed to be familiar with current are constructed set.
However, CSC is small, broader input needed given number of direct customers.

Note: At the same time there is a process in place for consultation related to Amendment 1 IANA Naming Function Contract.
