[Brenda Brewer]

Dear All, 

 

The notes, recordings and transcripts for the WP1 Meeting #2  - 25 February will be available here:
https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=52889694


Notes


1. Report of activities given on  CCWG call - Roelof and Steve walked CCWG through the work
conducted. 

Feedback on AoC reviews merged into Bylaws:

- Balance (gender and geographic) and diversity baked into Bylaws 

- Headcount but believe It should not be limited to one per SO/AC 

- Sam and Sebastien recommended separate document 

- Kavouss suggested division of Bylaw 

-> Concerns about complications this might create. 

--

Removing Selectors from review process is a sticky point. Need to be prescriptive about Review Team
composition to preserve balance and diversity - More robust description of composition is needed.
Everyone should have opportunity to participate in these RTs. 

Agreement that it is not simple a copy and paste - refinement is needed.

--

Restructuring Bylaws is a far bigger task - 

Need to open it up to SGs for diversity

--

Issues of representation are complex - GNSO is a mini multistakeholder group 

--

CCWG Meeting confirmed for 23-24 March to be held in Istanbul - rapporteurs will help design agenda 

 

2. Review of Drafts

Section 2 - Non-Triggered Accountability Mechanisms with regard to the AoC and related reviews

Note on ATRT review: provision added on termination of review (as deemed necessary), access to
documentation, frequency of reviews (5 years as opposed to 3 years)

--

Concerns about termination - potential loophole? It is counter to what we are trying to achieve. 

--

Objective is to empower community 

--

Note on SSR review: Similar to ATRT - Chair of Board not a member. 

--

Consider AoC as a whole into account (public interest etc) 

Note that in Senate Hearing, ICANN CEO said ICANN jurisdiction must remain in the USA. 

---

Roelof walked WP1 through his template Section 1.A Black Changes to ICANN's Bylaws

Questions need our attention 

Belief that geographical and gender diversity not something we should go explicitly after - not
necessary to go into Bylaws - others disagree.

Feedback on composition needed. 

---

Roelof walked WP1 through his template for  Section 1.B Board or Management Action in conflict with
ICANN Bylaws or Articles of Incorporation 

---

Roelof walked WP1 through his template for Section 1 C Block adoption by ICANN Board of strategic
plan or budget 

Independent review needs to have a standard of review - this mechanism is a veto for budget/strat
plan - this demands a super majority rather than a simple majority. It would be extraordinary to
block budget.

Clarify that independent advice from expert. 

We would lose multistakeholderism if allow simple majorities - should avoid them unless there is a
very good reason.

Roelof will change language of draft to super majority.
