[council] Council Way Forward on Accountability Proposal

Noting that the Subteam may be unable to have a fully developed draft Motion completed by Monday, January 4th, can we presume that whatever is filed on that date to comply with our procedural rules will be regarded as a placeholder subject to potential amendment as the full Council discusses the Accountability Proposal on the 7th and 14th?

Thanks Phil.  And my response certainly didn't seem "timely," as any work we do on this topic is already too late. :)

I agree that at least one intercessional meeting is necessary to get this done.  I'll work towards drafting the Pre-Christmas letter.  The Subteam (and many thanks to you, Keith & Ed for volunteering so far) should meet early in the week of 3 JAN, with a Council-level discussion later that week (7 JAN as you suggested), with a drop-dead formal vote on the issue scheduled for 14 JAN.  I believe this last date is already on our calendars, but I will ask Glen to confirm.

Thanks again-

J.

James:

Thank you for your timely response to my inquiry.

I to would like to volunteer for the subteam. I'd also urge that we set times and dates for Council calls to consider the draft Resolution - perhaps January 7th for preliminary discussion and, if necessary, January 14th for completing our work.

I look forward to working with other Council members on this important task.

Best to all,
Philip

Thanks, Phil.  And generally, I believe your message below captures the challenges we (and other SO/ACs) face when asked to provide feedback in a compressed time frame, that also happens to collide with year-end holidays.  My availability is similar to yours, NamesCon included,  and from talking with Marika I think we should expect reduced support from Staff as well.

Given that our call on 17 DEC ran fairly long and you & several others had to drop, I wanted to share the way we left things with Thomas Rickert regarding GNSO feedback on the CCWG's latest draft:

  - The SGs and Cs in the GNSO Community were working to analyze the report and prepare their comments by the close of the comment period.
  - The GNSO, as a Chartering Organization of the CCWG, was unlikely to submit any formal comments by 21 DEC.
  - Several SGs and Cs within the GNSO Community would, however, submit their comments by Monday.
  - The GNSO would provide feedback/approval to the final report upon completion in January.

I propose that we draft a letter to the CCWG next week, reiterating that we would not weigh in as an SO, but instead link to comments submitted by SGs and Cs (target: 24 DEC).  And next, that we form a subteam (me and any other volunteers) to review submitted comments and draft a formal GNSO position for review by the Council (target: 7 JAN).

Thoughts/comments/volunteers?

Thanks-

J.

Fellow Councilors - and especially James, Heather, and Donna:

As I had to leave yesterday's extended Council call a few minutes before it concluded, I am wondering whether any structure/schedule was agreed to for our consideration of the 3rd CCWG-ACCT Proposal in our role as a Chartering Organization?

Will we be scheduling additional calls to consider key aspects of the Proposal, especially those that elicit comments expressing concern or suggesting modifications? How will we handle drafting of a Resolution expressing Council's view on behalf of the GNSO? And what is our target date for reaching a final decision?

For the record, I am available and willing to participate in calls next week (suggesting that any such call be after 12/21 to allow time for review of submitted comments) and during the first week of January.

>From December 26-January 3rd I shall be on vacation and intend to unplug from the grid to the maximum extent possible.

>From January 9-13 I and 900-plus other members of the domain community will be attending NamesCon and I will have limited availability to join any call. I am departing the conference in the middle of its last day so that I can participate in the tentatively scheduled January 14th Council call.

Thanks and best regards,
Philip
