[RSS GWG] Welcome to the RSS GWG!

[Carlos Reyes]

Welcome to the Root Server System Governance Working Group (RSS GWG)!

 

Per its charter, the purpose and mandate of the RS GWG is to develop a final cooperation and governance for the RSS. The work plan outlines a roughly year-long active effort for the RSS GWG followed by another roughly year-long consultative phase for the RSS GWG when the stakeholders of the RSS are reviewing the RSS GWG model and planning for implementation. The ICANN organization will facilitate this community-driven process. 

 

I have set up a workspace for the RSS GWG: https://go.icann.org/rssgwgworkspace. This will be a repository of recordings and approved minutes from RSS GWG teleconferences/meetings. It also serves as a reference library: RSSAC037, RSSAC038, the Concept Paper, and other documents about the RSS are available. I recommend you review the resources as the RSS GWG begins its work. 

 

The immediate next step is to determine the cadence of teleconferences. We have RSS GWG members based in UTC +10, +9, +1, -5, -6, -7, and -8; of course, this changes with travel. Given the geographic distribution of RSS GWG members, I recommend 13:00 UTC and 22:00 UTC as options. I also recommend starting with a teleconference every other week. I can adjust this to weekly or another frequency based on your feedback and pace of work. 

 

By Friday, 14 February, please complete this quick survey to help me identify a day and time for a standing teleconference every other week: https://forms.gle/g8mWaBZbi8ct5Mfb6 

 

I will send calendar invitations with remote participation information for the first teleconference the week of 24 February after APNIC 49/APRICOT 2020 since I know several of you will be in Melbourne next week. The first teleconference will focus on reviewing the charter, operational procedures, and work plan of the RSS GWG and on preparing for ICANN67 in Cancún. 

 

The charter of the RSS GWG envisions most of the work to happen remotely, but I proactively arranged for three sessions during ICANN67 since many of you will be in Cancún. This will be a good opportunity for the RSS GWG members to meet and to get a sense of the work ahead through briefings, ensuring everyone is on the same page. I will send placeholders for your calendars: 
Wednesday, 11 March, 13:30-15:00 
Wednesday, 11 March, 15:15-16:45
Thursday, 12 March, 10:30-12:00
 

Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to working with you! 

 

Best,
Carlos
