[council] About Designing a 21st Century ICANN

Mon Feb 3 17:46:17 UTC 2014

... And bear in mind that the purpose - in their own words is- :

   - *Proposing new models for broad, *inclusive engagement,*
   consensus-based policymaking and institutional structures to support such
   enhanced functions; and*
   - *Designing processes, tools and platforms that enable a global
   ICANN community to engage in these new forms of participatory
   decision-making*

Google translator cannot even translate those two words... it feels really
strange to talk about global engagement and participatory processes only in
English and in a an English that it seems also complex for english speakers
to get...

>>                Hello!
>>
>> By engaging the stakeholders of the Internet (this really includes
>> everyone!), the ICANN Strategy Panel on Multistakeholder Innovation (the
>> MSI Panel<http://openinggovernment.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1a990feb5c&id=9e2fe95b04&e=32eced4cfd>)
>> and The Governance Lab @ NYU (The GovLab<http://openinggovernment.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=1a990feb5c&id=d1a6e896d6&e=32eced4cfd>)
>> are working to develop a set of concrete proposals for designing the
>> Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) - the public
>> interest organization responsible for coordinating the Internet's Domain
>> Name System (DNS) - for the 21st Century.
>>
>> We're writing to request your participation in this important initiative
>> and to help us spread the word!
>>
>> Today launches *Stage 2 **- Proposal Development - *of our online
>> engagement effort aimed at getting *your* input into the Panel's work in
>> order to bring our ideas for evolving ICANN from principle to practice. The
>> Panel has been specifically charged by ICANN's President and CEO with:
>>
>> ·  Proposing new models for international engagement, consensus-driven
>> policymaking and institutional structures to support such enhanced
>> functions; and
>>
>> ·  Designing processes, tools and platforms that enable the global ICANN
>> community to engage in these new forms of participatory decision-making.
>>
>> To answer this charter, we launched a three-stage brainstorm initiative
>> on November 19, 2013. We started with *Stage 1: Idea Generation. *The
>> Panel and GovLab launched an *engagement platform
>> <http://openinggovernment.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=1a990feb5c&id=49575264ee&e=32eced4cfd>*asking the global public to share their ideas for what techniques,
>> strategies, tools and platforms ICANN could look to and learn from to help
>> transform itself into an *effective, legitimate and evolving* 21st
>> century global organization.
>>
>> We now want to take these ideas closer to implementation during Stage 2.
>> To do so, we've shared the *draft proposal blueprint *<http://openinggovernment.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=1a990feb5c&id=b31cd77527&e=32eced4cfd>on
>> the *GovLab Blog *organizing all of our ideas into 16 concrete proposals
>> for ICANN, which we are *opening up to you for discussion. *We want your
>> feedback, input, comments, questions, and suggestions on what we've
>> collected. We've also published our first set of proposals, which include
>> recommendations for ICANN to:
>>
>>    - Leverage expert networking<http://openinggovernment.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1a990feb5c&id=c8d26b0537&e=32eced4cfd>
>>    ;
>>    - Use crowdsourcing during all phases of decisionmaking<http://openinggovernment.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1a990feb5c&id=78cb16e898&e=32eced4cfd>;
>>    and
>>    - Crowdsource oversight and develop standards to measure success<http://openinggovernment.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1a990feb5c&id=75796fa362&e=32eced4cfd>
>>    .

>> a *video

>> Toward the end of February - we will move into the last stage of this

>> <http://openinggovernment.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1a990feb5c&id=e89c0b7d3f&e=32eced4cfd>*,
>> we will invite collaborative drafting on a first full draft of all
