[Gnso-newgtld-wg] Candidates for the GNSO WT 5 Co-Leader (DISCUSSION PERIOD)

Mike, Rob, Anne, all,

 

Indeed, the role of Chair is to manage the process. Please see section 2.2.1 of the GNSO Working Group Guidelines here:  https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-01sep16-en.pdf and additional detail in the description attached. 

 

While perhaps a minor point, I’d note that the WG is seeking to appoint a GNSO co-lead for a sub team rather than a WG chair, though the guidance is likely still relevant and informative.

 

Best,

Steve

Agreed.  Discussion of potential co-chairs should be purely procedural, and should not involve discussion of substantive WG issues.  I imagine the WG Guidelines might have some guidance on that point, which Staff might please point out? 

 

Thanks,

Mike

Perhaps I am being naïve, but is the answer not contained in your question ?

 

The job of a co-chair is to facilitate discussion.

 

The group decides what is worth more time or not.  The Chairs job is to facilitate the will of the group.

 

A chair is not a CEO.   They do not lead.  They facilitate.  They keep the group on point and moving forward productively.

 

I am not sure we should be choosing a chair based on their opinions of specific issues.   To me, it is far more important they understand the role of chair as opposed to what their opinion on any one issue is.

 

Rob.

Or more appropriately phrased, How would you as Co-Chair, facilitate discussion on the matters in 1 – 4 below and are some worth more time than others in the discussion?

QUESTION FOR ALL THE CANDIDATES  (SINCE I’M SURE THEY HAVE ALL THOUGHT ABOUT THIS):

 

How do you propose to balance the interests of governments with those of other applicants for names that do not constitute city or country names, but have some “geographic identity”?  (Please consider regions, rivers, etc.)

 

Would you 
Give priority to government-based applications in the event there are competing applications for the same name?
 

 
Establish a Government Objection process whereby competing interests could be weighed?  If so, what criteria would be measured by the Panel that could result in a successful Government Objection Process?
 

 
Require government approval for all applications having “geographic identity” even if not a city or country name?
 

 
Give priority to brand applications if the brand (that is not a city or country) has long-standing trademark recognition and value independent of its “geographic identity”?

All,

 

As discussed on our last call, Avri, Cheryl and I have asked each of the candidates for the GNSO Co-Leader position on Work Track 5 (GNSO Co-Leader) if they would object to public disclosure of their names and expressions of interest for the position.  I am happy to report that each of the candidates have agreed.  In addition, we received one additional candidate since our last meeting.  Nominations for candidates are now closed.

 

The four candidates for the GNSO Co-Leader position are (in alphabetical order):

 
Ching Chiao
Carlos Raul Gutierrez
Greg Shatan
Martin Sutton
 

I have attached each of their expressions of interest.  By the publication of these names, the leadership of the SubPro PDP Working Group is kicking off a discussion period on the candidates.  Keeping in mind ICANN’s standards of expected behavior, questions and comments about the candidates may now be posted.    If you have a question for one or more particular candidates, please make sure that you include the words “QUESTION FOR _________” in the subject or QUESTION FOR ALL CANDIDATES.  This is not required, but will help us keep track of all the questions so that we can make sure that they are answered.

 

Finally, ass discussed, it is our intention as a leadership team (The Co-Leaders of the full working group along with the WT 1-4 co-leaders) to discuss our recommendation on our next call scheduled for Monday, October 9th based on the discussions, comments and questions on this list.

 

Please let us know if you have any questions.

 

Best regards,
