RE: [council] Fwd: Follow-up to the second JAS WG report

["Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@xxxxxxx>]

Anyone want to take odds on the likelihood that the referenced multistakeholder 
meeting is scheduled at the same time as our Council meeting?

Objet : Rép : Follow-up to the second JAS WG report

Dear Katim,

thank you for your kind email and your suggestion which was received very 
positively by members of the JAS working group when the discussion came up.

Both the GNSO and the ALAC charters for this working group include the 
following sentence:

"4. All communication to the ICANN Board regarding the work of this Working 
Group shall be through the respective SO/AC unless expressly approved by the 
respective SO/AC."

However, a direct interaction between the various ICANN communities and the JAS 
working group participants has always been very welcome by the ALAC. After all, 
the JAS working group is open to all participants, GAC and Board members 
included.

Your suggestion was therefore discussed during the ALAC monthly call on 24 May 
2011.
A motion for an invitation of interested parties was presented and voted on by 
the committee, as follows:

--- cut here ---
The ALAC is pleased to note interest from the Board and other stakeholders 
towards the second Milestone Report of the Cross-community Joint Applicant 
Support Working Group (JAS WG). To this extent, the ALAC therefore welcomes the 
organisation of a conference call -- for interested members of the JAS WG, 
ICANN Board, GNSO, GAC, At-Large and other interested community members -- to 
discuss the status and way forward for the JAS WG. We also request the creation 
of a multi-stakeholder meeting on this issue to be held at the ICANN meeting in 
Singapore.
--- cut here ---

A vote was performed with 13 out of 15 ALAC members being present on the call.
It resulted in a unanimous 13 yes, 0 objections and 0 abstentions.

I therefore can give you the green light from the ALAC to proceed forward with 
setting up such a call, and to consider the request for the creation of a 
multi-stakeholder meeting on the JAS issue to be held at the ICANN meeting in 
Singapore.
I understand that the current standard call times for the JAS working group are 
Tuesday 13:00 UTC and Friday 13:00 UTC. May I therefore suggest the 
consideration of any of those future times:

- Tuesday 31 May 2011 - 13:00 UTC
- Friday 3 June 2011 - 13:00 UTC
- Tuesday 7 June 2011 - 13:00 UTC
- Friday 10 June 2011 - 13:00 UTC

In the interest of swift synchronization, I am CC'ing this message to Gisella 
and Karla who will be able to coordinate call participants, but I would kindly 
ask you that you coordinate the Board's participant list as well as the GAC's 
participant list.

While thanking you again for your suggestion, I look forward to hearing from 
you soon.

Kindest regards,

Olivier Crépin-Leblond
ALAC Chair

Dear Katim,

thank you very much for your kind message. From discussions that have taken 
place in the JAS working group, I am aware that the group would be very 
interested indeed in such an interaction. As far as the ALAC is concerned, I 
will ask for this question to be added to the agenda of our forthcoming monthly 
call, tomorrow Tuesday. I'll get back to you in due course.
Warmest regards,

Olivier

Dear Olivier and Stéphane,

First, let me congratulate you and your teams, as well as the JAS WG on their 
second report.  I've had the opportunity to go through it, and it's quality 
work.

To follow on the second JAS WG report, I would like to ask if you'd be 
interested in organizing a conference call for interested board members and the 
GNSO, GAC, and At-Large reps to discuss the status and way forward for the 
recently released JAS WG report. The idea was presented at the recently 
concluded board retreat in Istanbul that a public meeting on the JAS WG report 
(with the participation of the board and GAC) will be helpful, and toward this 
end, it would be useful to have a conference call.  Please let me know if this 
makes sense to you and let me know when you want to have the call, if indeed 
you want to have it.

Again, thanks to all of you and your teams for the great work you're doing on 
the issue!  I hope we'll all be able to come together to have a useful program 
we all can be proud of.  Have a great week, and best wishes!

Sincerely,

Katim
