[CPWG] About Single Subject Meetings

[Jonathan Zuck]

Well, I’m always happy to revisit how we’re operating the CPWG but I’m not sure I understand your comment Roberto. We’ve made a separation with the OFBWG so there are now two workgroups. The CPWG is where DNS policy is addressed. It’s true that we summarize some of the discussions on the ALAC and AltPLUS and Eduardo asks me to report into NARALO but I don’t think there are duplicate discussions with the CPWG unless I’m missing some calls. Help me out. The CPWG should be where we are developing our positions on various policy issues, ideally managing participation in ICANN WGs (with reporting and feedback) and managing the drafting of public comments to WGs and advice to the board.

I think that we need to do a serious effort to prioritise things.
The second observation is that I thought that the CPWG was the place where the discussions in the different Was were reported to a wider audience, while my impression is that we are having a second round of discussions on things that have been already discussed in the working groups. These discussions are then reported to the ALAC and to the RALOs, in some cases, like EURALO, preceded by the same report presented to the RALO’s Board, with the result that people that actively participate to calls hear the same points - although with a different level of detail - at least four times.
Considering that not everybody is interested in all topics - this is the main reason why we have WGs where people go according to their interests - I am under the impression that we need to review the way CPWG is operating.
Cheers,
Roberto

I have noticed that, more and more, we are having CPWG single subject meetings in addition to the weekly CPWG meetings.

It is my strong impression that this is causing "meeting fatigue". As a result, we may start to see a drop in participation and hence its effectiveness.

I recommend that instead of having additional meetings, use the CPWG weekly meetings and convert them into CPWG single issue meetings when necessary.
