[Epdp-dt] [council] ePDP DT / Leadership Issues

[Darcy Southwell]

Agree with Michele.  In addition, allowing the EPDP working group to select its own leadership will more likely foster a successful working group/process.

 

If the Council feels more comfortable, we could consider appointing an “interim” chair until EPDP members have been chosen and can select their owner leadership.  I envision an interim chair to call to order the first meeting, get the working group to discuss leadership roles, and select those folks.

Forcing a chair on a group is probably not optimal and also we’d have to assume that not every member of the group would either want the role or have the time to do it.

 

So I’d be happier with the council having the ability to manage that process without dictating it

Thanks Marika.

 

Seems like there would be some time saved if the Council could decide on a Chair.

Moving this conversation to the draft team list. Note that the WG Guidelines state the following:

 

“Unless a Chair has already been named by the Chartering Organization, normally a Chair will be selected at the first meeting of the WG. Until that time, the Chartering Organization’s liaison may fulfill the role of interim Chair”. 

 

So the Council has the ability to appoint a chair should it want to, although the standing practice for PDP WGs has been for the WG to select its own leadership. FWIW, the appointment of a chair by the chartering organization has been used for recent CCWGs (e.g. CWG-Stewardship, CCWG-Accountability and new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG).

 

I hope this is helpful background information.

 

Best regards,

 

Marika

I think we have at least two questions to address:

 
 What is the ideal configuration of the leadership team for an EPDP?  
1 chair
2 or more co-chairs
1 chair and 1 or more vice-chairs
Some other model
 
 Depending on the answer to the above, who should be nominated for leadership and what is that process?  Historically, WG’s select their own leadership and that is ratified by the Council.  Is that the same plan for the ePDP?
 

Let’s discuss.  

 

PS: From the chat on today’s call I saw (and want to capture for your discussion):

 

Ayden Ferdeline: Chair - Thomas Rickert

 

Best,

Paul
