[council] For your review: Council SSAD Small Team draft letter

My thoughts: 

I think “Why so long?” will not get us to answers we desire, i.e., a discussion that will facilitate the timely implementation of consensus-backed policies. I would go back to our goals as we set them out when this dialogue started: 

1. Can the cost-benefit analysis requested by the council be conducted in parallel with the ODP? To us, this makes sense in that a cost-benefit analysis might lead ICANN to find a more cost-effective way (e.g., a phased implementation) to implement the process.

2. How does the Board intend to use the cost-benefit analysis in its decision making, i.e., to find that the SSAD implementation is or is not in the interests of ICANN, or to turn back the issue to the GNSO?

3. Does the six-month ODP forecasted for the SSAD recommendation portend a new practice of tolling implementation while the ODPs are conducted?  Or can some implementation steps occur in parallel (when it makes sense) in order to better achieve ICANN’s mission to operate at speeds responsive to the needs of the DNS? (Obviously, this point applies to PDPs coming down the pike.)

4. Will the Board consider rejecting the SSAD recommendations based on the letter received from the IPC? If not, what is the effect of that letter?

I don’t think we should raise the “opportunity costs” issue. To me, ICANN should be managing these implementation efforts in parallel and staff them according. I.e., they should be managed according to our processes as they roll off the production line, and not delayed and managed by priority. 

In any event, I think we should go back to our original request for a cost-benefit analysis and attempt to avoid having that pushed out for six months. 

Thanks for letting me express these thoughts. 

Kurt

These questions are intended to cover Council input (as set out in our January letter to the Board and the draft letter) that seem not have been addressed in the ODP scoping document or seeking further clarification on some aspects of the ODP scope.

So it seems to me we should reconsider whether the letter is still needed or whether we should just focus on talking points for our upcoming meeting with the Board.

> Dear Councilors:
>  
> Following the Council's recent engagement with the Board regarding the SSAD consultation, the SSAD Small Team worked together to draft a letter <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YjR-YsjqRSTnU0a_bbG3zXUwpeJ7g6cO1kIRudrYDqQ/edit?ts=60524b5e>, confirming the outcomes of the meeting and posing additional questions for the Board's consideration. The letter still has several comments and proposed edits, which have been left in for the sake of transparency (since all commenters may not have had an opportunity to review the most recent edits). For ease of readability, you may wish to review the draft in "viewing" mode to avoid the array of colors. This letter is on the agenda fortomorrow's meeting, and Council leadership will go over it in greater detail tomorrow.
