[council] Reminder: Re: [] NCA input to House placement
Hi,
I wanted to remind those in the Constituencies/SGs that the council
resolution regarding transition call for this activity to be
completed by 7 October;
c. Taking into consideration the input from the NCAs, if any, both
GNSO Council Houses and/or their respective Stakeholder Groups
should attempt to reach agreement on the seating for each of the
three NCAs for the first year of the new bicameral Council and
communicate the results to the Council not later than 7 October 2009.
with a fail safe of:
d. If the GNSO Council Houses and/or their respective Stakeholder
Groups are unable to reach agreement, then the new, inexperienced
NCA will take the non-voting Council seat and random selection will
be used to assign the other two NCAs to Houses before the Council
meeting on 8 October 2009.
Note: If I need to do a random selection, I will use the Wednesday 7
Oct Powerball Lottery number (http://www.powerball.com/powerball/pb_numbers.asp
) as seed to the IETF RFC3797 random selection algorithm with the
names ordered alphabetic by first name.; ie. Olga, Terry. Doing so,
however, will result in at least one of the NCAs being given an
assignment that is contrary to their expressed intersts.
thanks
a.

Hi,
This note is to notify the council that I have worked with the 3
NCAs of the new council and have come up with their input to the
council regarding their recommendation for assigning NCA Council
Seats as required by the second bullet. This was an action that
needed to be completed by 30 September.
As a reminder, the Transition plan approved at the last meeting
contains the following:
----
For the period starting on 28 October 2009 and continuing only
through the 2010 ICANN Annual Meeting, the following procedure will
be used to assign NCAs to Council seats:
• ICANN Staff should ensure that a Statement of Interest is
received from Andrey Kolesnikov and sent to the Council not later
than 30 September 2009.
• Not later than 30 September 2009, new and existing NCAs will
make best efforts to collaborate and provide their input to the
GNSO Council regarding their recommendations for assigning NCA
Council seats. Such input should include any seating assignments
that any of the NCAs would individually be uncomfortable taking
along with their reasons.
• Taking into consideration the input from the NCAs, if any, both
GNSO Council Houses and/or their respective Stakeholder Groups
should attempt to reach agreement on the seating for each of the
three NCAs for the first year of the new bicameral Council and
communicate the results to the Council not later than 7 October 2009.
• If the GNSO Council Houses and/or their respective Stakeholder
Groups are unable to reach agreement, then the new, inexperienced
NCA will take the non-voting Council seat and random selection will
be used to assign the other two NCAs to Houses before the Council
meeting on 8 October 2009.
• In the meeting scheduled for 8 October 2009, the Council will
acknowledge the results of this process and confirm that it was
properly conducted.

In terms of the first point Glen is currently working with Andrey to
get the required SOI completed
In terms of the second point, we have recorded the output of the
NCAs and make the following recommendations as input to further
discussions:
Contracted Parties House - Andrey
Non contracted Parties House - Terry
Independent non-voting - Olga
The Process we followed:
- First I created a doodle where each of them could indicate their
preference. This was one of the 'yes-green, maybe-yellow, no-red'
doodles.
I set this up as hidden poll, so that consideration for each other's
choices would not stand in the way of each of them stating, in the
first instance, their personal preference.
The idea was that once we saw the individual preferences, they could
then negotiate a final list based on knowing what each other really
wanted, or was willing, to do.
I also made myself available for any of them who wanted to get more
background information, but no one took me up on the offer.
Note: I also told them that if they hated the idea of the poll we
could start in another way, but I was looking for a way to reach a
conclusion quickly.
- The individual preferences, a snapshot of which is included below,
showed that there was one possible solution from the beginning which
would avoid any of them having to take a position they did not want.
The results (depicted below):
Olga and Andrey were both interested in the Contracted Parties House
All three of them were willing to be placed in the Non-Contracted
parties house.
Terry indicated he was only willing to be placed the Non-contracted
parties house
Olga was the only one indicating willingness to take the Independent
non voting role
I suggested this as a starting position for their discussions, but
also suggested they could ignore it, if they desired.
- In the following conversation they all accepted the proposal, each
for his/her own reasons:
Andrey felt that his experience in managing a zone with 2.3 M
domains, which is 99%
compatible to a .COM environment, made him feel comfortable going
into the Contracted Parties house.
Terry felt that based on his experience in industry the Non
Contracted parties house was the most appropriate.
Olga was willing to take any of the roles, though she had a
preference for the Contracted parties.
- It is now up to the houses, to decide if they are willing to
accept the input of the NCAs. If not, they will need to come up
with another proposal.
I invite the NCA's to add any comments to this they feel would be
useful to the Houses in making their decision, but am not in any way
obliging them to do so.
I should mention that Andrey has been added to this list (as all
newly appointed/elected council members will be), and I welcome
him. Of course the incoming council members are observers on the
list until 28 October. In keep with our normal processes, I invite
the new council members to participate on the list as fully as they
feel ready to with voting and the making of motions being the only
exceptions.
Regards,
a.
