[Ssr2-review] SSR2 Call Summary: 2 August

[Eric Osterweil]

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for sending this out.  I’ve just taken a very quick look and I think there are some issues in this summary that need to be rectified.

In regards to the possibility of meeting during the ICANN 63 meeting (bullet #3), I would suggest that a more faithful summary might be: 
The team has long requested to have face-to-face meets during the ICANN meetings (not adjacent to them).  Several team members who are planning to attend ICANN 63 have stated on the list that they will not be able to meet outside of the ICANN 63 meeting week.  Some have stated that they feel this puts an undue strain on their capacity to volunteer for this review (especially after the pause).  The team has suggested some alternatives to help Staff accommodate the team’s needs, and the team has asked Staff to send out a Doodle poll to ascertain how much of the team is able to meet during various options.
Separately, I’m not sure the statement that “all possibilities … have significant problems” is accurate, or even knowable without more investigation.  I think this statement should be removed.

In regards to the discussion on the NDA (bullet #5), I think the summary needs to be corrected to be more accurate.  Perhaps something like:
Phil noted that some people brought the NDA up to him, but no team member spoke to this themselves (on the call or on the list).  The team noted that this issue was previously discussed at length (roughly a year ago).  At that time, consensus was reached that the choice to sign the NDA would be made by each individual team member, and that the team would not agree that signing the NDA was necessary for participation on the team.  It was also mentioned that one of the former team members was heavily involved in the drafting of the bylaws and cautioned against mistaking the spirit behind the words.  Multiple team members mentioned receiving legal advice that counseled caution in signing the NDA as it is currently written.  No one from the team annunciated any concern with the previous team decision that the NDA need not be signed.  As of this time, no one on the team has supported the idea of mandating the signing the NDA (either on the call or on the mail list).  Staff provided an example from the review team’s LA meeting as to how productive discussions have taken place without the NDA.

I’ll try to take a more detailed look soon to see if there are any other questions, concerns, or suggestions.

Thanks!

Eric
