[Ws2-ombudsman] Agenda - IOO #8 Sept 26, 2016

[Michael Karanicolas]

Hi all,

I will try my best to make tomorrow's call. I am attaching a list of
potential issues for consideration, based on the overlapping areas of our
workstreams.

Best,

Michael


*Issues for Consideration:*

   - Evaluate Ombudsman's independence and competency to perform their
   task, particularly as regards to specific expertise on transparency and the
   right to information (note that, if the appointee does not come to the job
   with these skills, there should at least be a training programme in place
   to ensure he or she can build understanding of them).
   - Note that the Ombudsman's independence, powers and expertise are of
   paramount importance if they are going to play a role in the whistleblowing
   system.
   - Is the requirement that the Ombudsman request authority from the Board
   prior to starting an investigation appropriate to their role as an
   independent oversight body?
   - Discuss expanding the Ombudsman's role to be more proactive, including
   collecting regular assessments of compliance with the DIDP and performance
   in responding to access requests, as well as record management, respecting
   a duty to document decisions, etc.
   - Discuss whether the Ombudsman should play a more promotional role to
   educate the public about his office, and about ICANN's DIDP mechanism.
   - In addition to considering the Ombudsman's role against other
   ombudsmen, it may be worth considering them in the context of Human Rights
   Commissioner, or Information Commissioners, whose role is also wrapped up
   in what the Ombudsman does.
