[council] FW: GNSO Meeting with the Board : Topics

Wed Oct 26 23:31:28 UTC 2016

James, Paul, all

A couple of suggestions for consideration, that I think are somewhat linked to the questions we received from the Board.

How do we make better use of our time at ICANN meetings:
1) in terms of scheduling; and
2) to provide more opportunities for Board/GAC/GNSO Council trilateral discussions on substantive topics of common interest.

There should be a better process for developing the ICANN schedule and there certainly should be predictability in terms of Council meetings with the ICANN Board, ICANN CEO, the GAC and others. If we could agree on a standard schedule for meetings A & C, that may help relieve some of the angst that we and staff have to endure each time.

On the second point, I really think we would benefit from organized and sometimes moderated trilateral discussions, rather than the Board and GAC/ the Council and the Board/ and the GAC and the Council having separate discussions on the same subject. The continuous back and forth on the IGO acronym and Red Cross issues are a case in point. Perhaps this could have been circumvented if there had been an opportunity for open communication across the three groups.

Thanks for considering.

Thanks Marika.

I think what the Board has asked are the very questions that needed to be asked.  How will we decide who gets to speak at the Board/Council session?  I have (unsurprisingly) thoughts to share and would like to participate.

Best,
Paul

Subject: GNSO Meeting with the Board : Topics

Dear James,

We are looking forward to seeing you in Hyderabad!

As you know, over the years, the Board has heard from many Groups on the need to make the interaction between the Board and Constituency/Stakeholder/Advisory Groups at ICANN Public Meetings more effective for both the Groups and the Board.

To do this, Board Operations collects, ahead of the Meeting, the questions that each Group would like to bring to the Board.

We would appreciate receiving the questions/topics that GNSO might want to discuss with the Board during the meeting currently scheduled on Monday 7 November. The deadline for submission of these topics is Wednesday 26 October.

We are as well taking this opportunity to share with you the Board's questions to your Group, for discussion during this meeting.

QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD :

1.      What do we (Board and ICANN organization) have to do to make the transition work for you?
2.      What do we (Board, ICANN organization and community) need to do to advance trust and confidence in what we do?

Best,

The Board Ops team
