&gt; &gt;&gt; Hi all,<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; At some point late last year I believe we had a bit of group<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; discussion about how we will actually staff the process of assessing<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; the community proposals as they come in and any issues that may arise<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; from the fact that many of us are both serving on the ICG and have<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; been involved in the community processes. I thought it would be good<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; to confirm that we are generally in agreement about our approach to<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; ensuring that the ICG assessment is conducted in an independent and<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; unbiased fashion even though we all have our own community<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; affiliations and have been involved in the proposal development<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; processes to different extents. To my mind we have many safeguards in<br>
&gt; place to help us out here:<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; (1) Multitude of proposal reviews<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; As we receive proposals from the communities, my expectation is that<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; we will have many ICG members willing to review them against our<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; assessment<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; criteria.* I think we should aim to have some reviewers for each<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; community proposal who are not affiliated with the community in<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; question and who did not participate in the proposal development<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; process for that community (as well as some who did). I imagine that<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; through mere solicitation of volunteers to review within our group we<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; will achieve this goal, but we should keep an eye out for it in any<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; event. I think this should help to provide a well-rounded assessment of<br>
&gt; each proposal.<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; (2) Charter limitations<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; Since by our charter we will not be altering the substance of the<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; proposals, I think the danger of any individual ICG member trying to<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; alter the substance of the proposals through the assessment process<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; is quite limited.<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; (3) Transparent proposal development processes In my opinion the<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; proposal development processes and participation in them has been<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; quite transparent. I think it’s easy to find out which of us have<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; been participating in which processes and only a little harder to<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; figure out what we have been advocating for. Because of this, I think<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; it will be fairly clear if any ICG member tries to use the assessment<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; process to achieve some end that did not obtain community consensus.<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; (4) Operating by ICG consensus<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; As a group we decided long ago to operate on a consensus basis, and I<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; think this provides a further defense against any individual ICG<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; member trying to bend the assessment process to achieve his or her<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; own personal objectives.<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; From my perspective the set of safeguards above is plenty robust to<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; ensure that as a group we can conduct a largely objective assessment<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; of the proposals. I would appreciate thoughts about this from the<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; group. As the proposals start to come in I think it will boost the<br>
&gt; communities’<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; confidence in us to have this articulated.<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>

&gt; &gt; This makes sense to me.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; I suggest that before we start the reviews each of us sends a message to<br>
&gt; this list describing their involvement, if any, in the development of proposals.<br>
&gt; This way all that is on record and we avoid accusations of hidden interests or<br>
&gt; actions.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; For myself I can state that I have had no involvement with the proposals of<br>
&gt; the names and protocol parameters communities.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; As a member of the RIPE community I have participated in the public<br>
&gt; discussion about the principles for the numbers proposal. As part of my job<br>
&gt; at the RIPE NCC I have provided advice to management about the<br>
&gt; development of the proposal. I have also worked actively within the RIR<br>
&gt; communities to explain the process and the work of the ICG.<br>
