5. CCWG Accountability topics and update
See email update from Izumi Okutani dated 14 June 2017.
FA noted that work still needs to be done to consolidate all the recommendations in WS2 and will depend on what is agreed upon. They have an extension of time but not budget. The ASO AC will need to provide comment on the issues of good faith, SO/AC accountability, and diversity by 27 June.
FY notes the problem of fragmentation across the SO/ACs and subgroups and dependencies among questionnaires.
JS asked if the comment period is still open to comment on these three topics.
FA noted that there will be time later to provide comments, but the sooner the better. Comments are still welcome even if the comment period is closed.
FA noted there will be a final comment period and document to consolidate all the work, but this will likely be closer to 2018.
CR noted that the only comment period open is the human rights issue.
JS sent some accountability guidelines for good faith text to the mailing list and asked if this could be discussed as a collective ASO AC response.
KB suggests working on this to try and make this an ASO AC response.
JS did get a response to his comment from ICANN staff and pointed her to the NRO EC for a formal response.
FY noted that before this goes as an ASO AC response, it needs support from the majority of the ASO AC.
FA noted that ICANN folk understand that a lot of the ASO AC work is outside of ICANN but it is important to have an ASO AC position for any response.
NN stressed the importance of coordination in the response and to discuss this with the NRO EC. She also said that the number community should be consulted as well for any position the ASO AC takes as it represents the number community.
BJ agrees with NN, but commented that the ASO AC should still attempt to come up with a response.
KB agrees with NN. Suggests having active participation – for example a volunteer shepherding through the process.
NN agrees with KB but believes the NRO EC should be driving this.
FY noted that Paul Wilson (PW) will be at ICANN 59 as NRO EC Co-Chair, so those ASO AC members onsite can give their feedback on this issue directly to him. Regarding active participation, FY noted that JV and FA are performing that active role KB referred to as they are already participating in the CCWG.
JS asked for a phone bridge to that meeting with PW at ICANN 59.
NN emphasised that this is a closed meeting that needs to be arranged outside of ICANN, which CR confirmed.
New Action item 20170614-01: GV and CR to arrange a phone bridge to the closed meeting with Paul Wilson (NRO EC Co-Chair) at ICANN 59. Time is still TBD.
New Action item 20170614-02: ASO AC to review the topics, comments and other information to contribute to a collective response to the three issues of diversity, good faith and SO/AC accountability.
6. ASO AC new procedures
GV outlined the minor changes to the procedures drafted by JS, which was approved by the NRO EC. Procedures adopted and ready to publish.
All agreed.
New Action item 20170614-03: GV to publish the new ASO AC procedures on the NRO website.
7. ICANN 59 preparations
GV has updated the shared calendar with the information currently provided by ICANN and sent this to the [AC-COORD] list. Times are still to be confirmed. There is a possibility to arrange a meeting with ITEMS before their presentation; CCWG meeting arrangements are in progress. CR and GV are to coordinate and keep the list informed.
8. NomCom appointment
FY has opened the call for nominations for a NomCom representative. HG noted that the appointee’s name must be available by ICANN 60 Abu Dhabi (28 October to 3 November 2017).
New Action item 20170614-04: GV to make this Call for Nominations to the NomCom public somewhere on the website.
