[Gnso-newgtld-wg] Doodle Poll: 3:00 UTC time slot for New gTLD SubPro PDP WG

Thu Dec 22 14:36:55 UTC 2016

Please note I am sending this in my personal capacity.

While I feel the need to allow for the Doodle Pole to make its point, I
think it is important to express the fact that there while there are fewer
meetings and participation may be less in comparison to other meeting
times, we could do well to give the 3:00 UTC time slot a better chance.
Lately ICANN APAC has been holding webinars in order to introduce current
policy issues. In fact, this PDP has been a hot topic of interest at the
last several APAC sessions. There is a growing vibrant interest in ICANN
policy from APAC and more specifically those regions that may have had less
activity in PDP in the past. It will take time for that activity to grow
but if we allow for more realistic time schedules in the future, I think
overtime that participation will grow.

I know that there are individuals that may be unable to make the 03:00 UTC
time slot meetings due to the conflict. I can also echo the fact for those
of us in APAC we adjust our schedules greatly to be able to participate in
these meetings. This is widely known among many of the participants and in
many ways I feel it is redundant to make this point.

I do want to say that the consideration of the rotation is greatly
appreciated. Therefore, please allow for this opportunity and many more in
the future. Within APAC there are many individuals that can contribute
greatly to the PDP and many already do contribute constructively. Yet, I
think these numbers are few. More opportunities will allow for substantial
growth.

Regards,

Michael Flemming

>> Thank you both for your feedback. The leadership team added the 3:00 UTC
>> time slot to the rotation in order to “share the pain” and support
>> participation by members in the Asia Pacific time zones. I know that the
>> 3:00 UTC time slot has regularly been a source of discussion on working
>> group calls, and I expect it will continue to be a topic of discussion
>> going forward. If the WG decides that a different schedule is better, staff
>> is happy to make adjustments to the calendar.
>>
>>
>>
>> The challenge is that there are very few meeting times that work in all
>> time zones, and we are attempting to avoid conflicts with other
>> initiatives, such as WS2, that regularly meet during these times.
>>
>>
>>
>> The Co-Chairs understand that not every working group member will be able
>> to attend every call, therefore they revisit issues on multiple calls to
>> ensure all voices are heard. Recordings and transcripts are available, and
>> discussion on the mailing list is encouraged.
>>
>>
>>
>> I will flag your concerns with the leadership team and look forward to
>> continued discussion on the topic.
