Public Comment and Discussion: Document Publication Operational Policy
8 September 2009
A public comment period has opened today for 30 days on a proposed document
publication operational policy for ICANN's international public meetings.
That policy includes:
A single 15-working-day deadline for documents, including meetings agendas
Best practice guidelines on the production of meeting agendas, cover sheets and
executive summaries
Emphasis on the use of plain language and minimised use of jargon
Sections considering the issues of translation, earlier provision of
presentations, and reporting on the efficacy of the operational policy
The community is encouraged to respond to the policy online and through email.
The results of the comment period will be used to revise the policy, with the
expectation that it will be put to the Board for formal approval in time for or
at the Seoul meeting in October.
The Board formally approved at its July meeting a single 15-working-day
deadline for all ICANN international public meetings (resolution
2009.07.30.11). At the same time it requested that an operational policy
providing fuller details be published for public comment with the Board Public
Participation Committee reporting back to the Board with any suggested
refinements (resolution 2009.07.30.12). See
http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/prelim-report-30jul09.htm for more details.
In addition to the public comment period, the Board Public Participation
Committee will be holding a public online session in September to receive
additional feedback.
More details on both can be found below.
Public Comment Period
The public comment period will be experimenting with new forum software in an
effort to allow for more interaction and discussion between community members.
vBulletin is a widely used piece of forum software that is a move away from the
current static email approach taken by ICANN. You can view the forum online at:
https://vbulletin.dev.icann.org/
You will need to register to post comments online. Alternatively, email
comments will be received at the address: document-deadline-policy@xxxxxxxxx.
You can view the draft Document Publication Operational Policy at:

[PDF, 148K].
Public Participation Committee Public Session
The Committee will be holding an online session to discussion both the document
publication operational policy and broader issues of participation with the
community in September (the exact date and time will be announced soon).
The session will use the Adobe Connect remote participation software that ICANN
has been using at its international public meetings and smaller regional
meetings over the past few months.
A simple link will allow you to see and hear the Committee as well as any
relevant presentations. You will be able to interact with others in a chatroom,
put forward typed questions, as well as virtually raise your hand to be called
upon to ask a question using your computer's microphone.
The session is an experiment in opening up Board Committee work and discussions
to the community. The URL of the session will be:
http://icann.na3.acrobat.com/ppc/ and it will run for 90 minutes.
You can find more details on the session, which will be updated as information
become available on the public participation website at:
http://public.icann.org/en/ppc-sep09/.
