[Gnso-epdp-team] Experts for the lunch time presentations during the LA f2f meeting

Tue Aug 6 17:53:23 UTC 2019

I would also be interested in hearing from the Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit, but I don’t feel the LA face to face is the right venue.  So far we received one external briefing during a regular weekly call and two during the lunch block at Marrakesh.  Of those, I thought the one during our weekly call worked better and didn’t think there was anything covered in Marrakesh that required face to face interaction.  My preference would be to invite them to present at a future weekly call.

Thank you to Mark Sv for the offer to invite the Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit to speak to us.  I admit it’s not immediately clear to me from the original email from Janis how this ties to our work, but I assume that Mark would not have suggested this if it didn’t relate to developing policy recommendations on access to non-public registration data.

I also want to echo one of Milton’s points about non-working lunches.  In phase 1 we struggled to move forward until we had the LA face to face.  In my view the ability to talk between formal facilitated sessions and over lunch was key to the success in LA and laid the groundwork for much of the work we would later accomplish.  We need to bake in time for those all important side conversations that allow those with opposing positions to talk, share views and develop common positions that can achieve consensus support.

Best,

Marc

I would be interested in hearing from the Microsoft DCU team and having the opportunity to ask them questions on how they do what they do.

However  I also appreciate Ayden’s strongly held feelings so perhaps we should consider a happy hour presentation at the end of our day allowing us to take full advantage of the facilitators and our time together during the day.

What could be more fun than learning about digital crimes investigation while enjoying a cocktail or three?

   I'm sorry, I really do not understand why this would be useful for our face-to-face meeting. I do not oppose having special webinars so that experts can share with us additional information and field our questions. But I worry it would be information overload having these presentations at the face-to-face meeting as well. And if we have external facilitators in Los Angeles next month, I think it would be a better use of this resource to spend what little time we do have in a face-to-face environment focusing on our core work plan, and not having briefings from external presenters that may or may not be relevant to what we have to deal with then. I feel very strongly about this. I am afraid I did not leave the presentations we had in Marrakech from external presenters with any inputs that I have been able to take forward, be it here in this working group or elsewhere at ICANN.

   Best wishes,

   Ayden Férdeline

Certainly we shall have other opportunities for networking and it does not matter if the information is neutral or not, all members of the EPDP team are intelligent people who can decide which information to consider and which to simply disregard. To have the opportunity to learn more is always good and Milton you had your experience with them already because of a research you were conducting, its a good opportunity for the rest of us to develop our own.

We are discussing use cases at length and any information or arguments made in those discussions should not be given a privileged status, they come in via team members.

Please, letâ€™s not encourage these requests anymore, letâ€™s put an end to this precedent.

Microsoft is represented on the EPDP and through the BC. IF they can bring useful information to bear on our discussions of use cases they can do it through their EPDP representative in line with our regular discussions, in which we all have equal status.

I would prefer that we not have any additional, external presenters during the face-to-face - though I am certainly happy to join a webinar over the coming weeks to hear what anyone has to say.
