[CPWG] About Single Subject Meetings

[Jonathan Zuck]

To which WGs are you referring? Other At-Large WGs or ICANN WGs? I think there’s overlap with ICANN WGs intentionally for us to come up with our own positions and spin on a particular topic but there should NOT be overlap with any At-Large WGs unless I’m missing something.

I completely get the fatigue issue but I suppose it’s a function of so much going on at once,  at least in my case, not redundancy.  I have:

NARALO
CPWG
Single Purpose Calls
ALTPLUS
ALAC
SOAC Chairs+. (ICANN. 68 Planning)
At-Large ICANN 68 Planning
Capacity Building
ICANN Learn Policy Development Course

And that’s on top of keeping up with what’s actually going on inside ICANN, GNSO workings groups, Universal Acceptance Metrics, etc.

And I’m SURE there are many others with so many more. It’s crazy but I guess it’s also probably keeping me sane at the moment…

JZ, it does indeed.
But in this case it should not be called a CPWG on a single issue, it should be a single topic discussion open to At-Large folks who are interested in the special topic, regardless whether they are members or not of the CPWG.
I think that the CPWG has great merit, but it should not become the overarching “super-WG” - at the risk of having people not engaging in the specific topical WGs.
Maybe I am exaggerating because I am just suffering from teleconference overdose, but my feeling is that it cannot continue like that.
Cheers,
Roberto

Thanks Eduardo. I guess I see the single purpose meetings as a kind of ad hoc subcommittee of only folks that want to dive deeper into that subject. We need to “keep the lights on,” so to speak, on the CPWG calls and make sure we’re covering all that needs discussing on a particular week so we can’t really just convert them to single purpose as we might start letting things fall between the cracks. Does that make sense?

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.
