hi all,

thanks for the comments.  here’s a new version.


The ATRT2 report documents how a very small group of dedicated volunteers carry an extraordinary proportion of the working-group load and correctly identifies this as a major concern. We note that simply increasing the pool of people aware of and in some way engaged with ICANN should not be viewed as the goal. Ultimately what is needed is a larger and more diverse group of active and effective volunteer participants in PDP working groups. Although outreach is an important part of the effort and crucial for bringing new volunteers to ICANN, the path to this goal should not end at simply recruiting a large diverse group of people. Rather, there needs to be a clear and well-supported progression for community volunteers to gain the skills, knowledge and experience needed to broaden the ranks of active PDP participants and leaders.We support reversing the current trend of too little focus on the recruiting, development and support of capable volunteer policymakers while increasingly following the expedient path of hiring expert panels, expanding staff and hand-picking “community representatives” through opaque “selection committees.”

I also support Mikey’s edits, but to Klaus’ point, I’m wondering if we can insert something emphasizing that new participants be “volunteers”? We do not want to encourage the trend of hiring outside experts, proliferating Staff, and hand-picked participants chosen by an opaque “selection committee.”

Fine with me as long as we don't start breading more "experts".

hi all,

i agree Maria. i had a go at adding another paragraph to our response to Rec #10.3 and have attached the revised draft. but to save you time, here’s the language i inserted

"The ATRT2 report documents how a very small group of dedicated volunteers carry an extraordinary proportion of the working-group load and correctly identifies this as a major concern. We note that simply increasing the pool of people aware of and in some way engaged with ICANN should not be viewed as the goal.

happy to consider revisions.

    Hi Jonathan,

    I'm happy to support this, and thank you for drafting it.
    There's one small typo, track changes version attached. It's in
    para 1, page 3.

    I'd have liked if we tackled head-on the issue of the
    narrowness of some PDP WGs' participation, which the ATRT2
    report provided some pretty convincing numbers on. But as I
    haven't gone to the trouble of actually drafting anything on
    it, I can't complain.

    All the best, Maria

        Hi,

        As a member of the ATRT2, I do not believe it my job to
        comment on our report.

        I think the GNSO response is fine as far as it goes and I
        am pleased that at least something is being submitted -
        though I must admit I am less than enthused about responses
        that essentially say "we are already doing that".

        I might have wished for it to be more supportive of other
        aspects of the report, but the response is what it is.

            All,

            The deadline for submission of public comment on the

            36 hours from now.

            I am OK to submit a letter in substantially the same

            distributed to you on 14 Feb (see below) and

            BUT

            I need your support to do so.  Accordingly, even if you
            simply provide
            support without any comment on the content, that will
            be helpful.

            *_PLEASE RESPOND WITHIN 24 HOURS_*

            Thank-you.

            All,

            If you are not already, please be aware of the following:

            
http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/atrt2-recommendations-09jan14-en.htm

            The opportunity to provide comments _ends one week from
            today 23h59 UTC
            on 21 Feb 2014_.



            The ATRT2 interacted with many in the community during
            the course of its
            work, including directly with the GNSO Council which
            was certainly
            appreciated.  We now have an opportunity to comment on
            the final report.

            If we do intend to comment, my opinion is that we
            should at least submit
            an indication of intent, if not the primary comment, in
            the initial
            comment period and not wait for the reply period.

            Given the tight time frame, I have taken the unusual
            step of drafting a
            council response for your consideration.  The ATRT2
            deals with some
            critical areas of GNSO work and function and so it
            seems to me that we
            should respond to the call for comments, specifically
            in so far as the
            report deals with GNSO Policy and directly related areas.

            I am aware that some of you were on the ATRT2 and
            others actively worked
            on Council interaction with the ATRT2.  Therefore, you
            may well have
            strong views on the subject matter.

            I look forward to your input and any suggestions.

            Thanks,

            Jonathan
