Hi all,
Firstly, I would like to congratulate KC and Matagoro. KC this is a great honor and it is well deserved.
I am confused about recent activities by the team.
I do not feel like someone capable to judge the work of CCT RT and how the ICANN Board responded. I do not agree that we should send any public comments as a team. If some of you need to do so, please do it personally. Since it is not within the scope of SSR2 RT, I do not feel comfortable with the approach that we must submit public comments as a team.
I believe that most of us still remember our Meeting with Board caucus in Kobe. We all agreed with suggestions given by Board members, to rather have fewer recommendations that counts than a bunch of them that are not that relevant. The latest development doesn't go that direction. We still have a lot of recommendations, and some of them even don't address SSR at all. We started cleanup in Marrakech, but it turned out that we have wasted our time. The process is not continued by the entire team as we expected. Anyway, we'll have to do the cleanup at one point, and in my opinion, it should be done before team members put substantial effort into writing something that may be dropped later on.
I also have some doubts about the recommendations regarding abuse. We are the review team and our tasks are to recognize and point out possible SSR risks and propose high-level actions in how to prevent or mitigate them. We are not entitled to give an order, nor to ignore standard ICANN bottom-up procedures for policy change and new contractual obligations. I agree that abuse is a significant issue regarding our work, but we must be careful about how recommendations are written and what we can ask to be done.
Regards,
Žarko
