[Accountability-dt] Notes from informal DT meeting & draft charter for review

Sun Oct 26 13:49:04 UTC 2014

Dear Colleagues,

Many thanks for inserting the mention of advisors into the draft 
Charter. Below are suggested edits of this section, with rationale :

> Expert Advisors
> [Advisors: The CCCWG should integrate the Advisors appointed by the 
> Public Experts Group (PEG) into its structure. 
It is expected that the PEG and CCWG may at any time discuss about 
Advisors relevance and the need for additional expertise.
Rationale : while the PEG is currently selecting experts, the work of 
the CCWG may reveal gaps between expertise needed and experts selected, 
due for instance to investigations being led into unexpected matters. 
Conitnuous dialogue between PEG and CCWG is therefore desirable.
> The recommendations of the Advisors, if any, are expected to be 
> documented in the CCCWG's Final Report. 
Suggested rewording : Issue papers and/or recommendations of the 
Advisors, if any [...]
Rationale : Advisors are independant experts, and the CCWG may find 
useful to rely on such experts to provide issue or research papers.
> The Advisors should contribute to the dialogue with other CCCWG 
> participants. Should there be an issue of a consensus call, the 
> Advisors would not participate in such a consensus call.
> ATRT Expert: The CCCWG should integrate one ATRT past participant to 
> bring perspective and avoid duplication of work. Should there be an 
> issue of a consensus call, the ATRT Expert would not participate in 
> such a consensus call. ]

I also wondered whether Advisors would be compensated ? I know that it 
was initially not intended but, considering the fact that these Advisors 
may be required to not only attend calls, but also provide issue papers 
or written recommendations, I believe this is critical to provide the 
CCWG with the relevant expertise and independance.

Best
Mathieu

>> Dear All,
>>
>> Thank you to those of you that were able to join this week's informal 
>> Accountability Charter Drafting Team meeting. We know it was not 
>> possible for all of you to be present and as such we thought it might 
>> be helpful to summarize some of the points that were discussed:
>>
>>   * Those SO/AC interested in participating in the DT have been asked
>>     to keep representatives participating in this effort to a
>>     manageable number (one or two volunteers), but seeing the
>>     interest in this topic some SO/ACs may have a couple of
>>     additional representatives that are interested to participate in
>>     this drafting effort. If this is a concern, the DT can consider
>>     using alternates.
>>   * Staff has prepared a skeleton charter (see attached) based on the
>>     IANA Stewardship Transition CWG Charter which may facilitate the
>>     work of the DT. As such, some of the standard sections have been
>>     retained, which a couple of minor tweaks, reflecting the lessons
>>     learned, while some basic information has been included to help
>>     inform the deliberations derived from the last ICANN announcement
>>     for the sections that are likely to form the bulk of the DT's
>>     work (problem statement, goals & objectives and scope,
>>     deliverables, timeframe, reporting). You are all encouraged to
>>     review the draft charter ahead of the next meeting and share any
>>     comments, edits or suggestions you may have with the mailing list.
>>   * Some of the items that came up and will need to be considered by
>>     the DT are co-ordination/alignment with the IANA Stewardship
>>     Transition CWG, scope for track 1 and 2 as well as possible timeline.
>>   * Staff will review upcoming deadlines for consideration by the
>>     different SO/ACs which may provide guidance to the DT on the
>>     organization and timing of its work. For example, in order to be
>>     considered by the GNSO Council during its next meeting on 13
>>     November, the charter and motion for adoption would need to be
>>     submitted by 3 November at the latest. The following opportunity
>>     would be the 11 December meeting for which documents and motions
>>     need to be submitted by 1 December.
>>
>> As confirmed by Grace, the next meeting of the DT has been scheduled 
>> for Thursday 23 October at 13.00 UTC. The call details have been 
>> circulated separately.

>> Best regards,
