Hello everyone. Hope you are all doing great.
Based on our last conference, I would ask you all for updates in the procedures review work you have being done.
Bellow some notes from the meeting in Cancun and I would like to ask comments and also, if possible, information about advances in the work since then.
Thanks!
---------------------------------------------------------------------- Meetings Working Group (Esteban, Hervé)
5.1.1. Schedule: Suggestion: Add “the coming year.”
5.1.2. Notice Delete section (?)
5.2 Quorum
5.4. Posting of Minutes
5.5. Cancellation of regularly scheduled meeting: Suggestion: Delete “If insufficient members respond to the notice."
5.6: Types of meetings. propose some wording for this chapter
(Meeting details, including the draft agenda, will be published on the ASO AC website and will be announced prior to the meetings at the relevant RIR mailing lists too.) * I don't think that posting to the RIR lists have been a usual practice
Global Policy Working Group (Ricardo P. and Saul S.)
Considering the timing the group recommended to put this in the work plan for an full update next year. Suggestion to update the paragraph about voting and what could be missing from the MoU.
Voting (James K. and Esteban L.)
The discussion was on the different types of parameters we have in our document and also the voting mechanism. But also regarding the abstention. If it should be allowed, and if so how should it counted. General agreement was it should not be allowed except in cases of conflict of interest and even so, it should be stated clearly.
ICANN Board Selection Working Group (Gaurav S. and Ricardo P.)
Several recommendations were presented: - adjust QRC based on current requirements of having one from each region. 3 to 5 persons willing to collaborate - QRC/IC sub committee of ASO/AC - adjust IC to also not require one member from each region - a comment was made as to not require all IC members to be responsible to interview, but a sub set of it - after interviews reports should not be a ranking and expected qualities of each candidate should be agreed upon before - interview phase should continue as 60 days, but adjust timing for interviews and give candidates a reduced set of options for the interview. - questions should be worked with ASO/AC in advance. simplify wording for better understanding - candidates would receive a list of topics that could be touched in the interviews
* A draft addressing those points was sent to the mailing list on april 9th
