Stéphane,
I've put Bill Graham as the 3rd GNSO elected board member on cc.
Great message, making the entire process and the GNSO position within this
process very clear!
Kind regards
Wolf-Ulrich

Betreff: [council] Re: Reminder / Tuesday 14 June 2011 @ 1300 UTC / JAS
WG - Board - GAC proposed June 7 meeting
Hello Katim,
This is a personal reaction to your message.
I am, frankly, aghast that a Board member would send a message
indicating that one of ICANN's SOs has been "slow" in acting on a report, in
the way you portray the GNSO as having acted with regards to the JAS Milestone
Report.
At best, this shows a lack of understanding of the basic process that
our SO is committed to following, by its own bylaws and by the ICANN bylaws.
Immediately after the JAS had forwarded its report to us, it was considered by
the GNSO Council at its next meeting. During that meeting, one of the GNSO
groups requested the motion be deferred for one meeting. We have a
long-standing custom of entertaining such requests. Hence the GNSO considered
the motion again at its June 9 meeting, where I am happy to say that the motion
(requesting, among other things, that the report be put out for public comment
asap) was approved unanimously by the Council.
Regardless of your personal interests, I would think that one of your
duties as a Board member is to uphold the organisation's bylaws, to respect its
SOs and to uphold the processes under which they work.
Implying in your message that the GNSO is attempting to scuttle the
"entire process of seeking ways... to provide support to needy new gTLD
applicants" is not only untrue (as our unanimous vote shows), it is also a
serious disregard of the way ICANN and its SOs work. ICANN's bottom-up process
is not "pick and choose". Just because, on this issue that you care strongly
about, you feel that things are not moving fast enough, this does not justify
false allegations of possible attempts by one SO to "scuttle the process".
As your message was sent in the context of a call with the Board, the
GAC, Staff and ALAC, I consider it very public. Hence it could also be
construed as an attempt to discredit the hard work being done by the community
of volunteers that the GNSO represents.
You request suggestions to the Board "to ensure that progress cannot be
hijacked by inaction by any party" (and this is clearly aimed at the GNSO in
this case). I would offer one: don't hijack ICANN's core process of working
through its SOs and ACs towards the Board! I take your message to be a breach
of that process and would personally appreciate reassurance from you that I am
mistaken, and that is not what you intend.
In order to initiate possible discussion on this at both Council and
Board level, I am copying the GNSO Council, Peter as Chairman of the Board and
the two GNSO-elected Board members for their possible comments.
Thanks,
Stéphane

Dear all,
Thanks so much for your invitation to the call. I certainly
was looking forward to joining you on the call, but unfortunately, I have a
serious conflict that only came up earlier today (Mon.) I am a consultant
helping prepare a strategic action plan for our Fisheries Department in The
Gambia, and we were in a workshop all day today discussing a draft plan I
presented a few weeks back. We were hoping to go through the entire document
today, but we could not. So we agreed to meet again tomorrow to complete our
review of the draft document. For this reason, I will not be available to join
the call tomorrow, and I am most disappointed by this.
Having said that, I hope you have a successful meeting
tomorrow. In addition, I would like to say that I hope your recommendations
receive the proper attention they deserve, and that in the end, needy new gTLD
applicants get the support they need.
One issue I would like you to discuss on the call is the
timeline for the finalization of the JAS WG report. While I agree that it will
help to insist that the AG mention that needy applicants should seek support
through the process based the JAS WG report, I think it will help to provide a
timeline for the finalization of your report.
I'm also troubled by the fact that the GNSO has been rather
slow in acting on the JAS WG reports. I fear such a situation might well be
construed by many as an effort by the GNSO to scuttle the entire process of
seeking ways and means to provide support to needy new gTLD applicants. One
important product of such a perception would be that developing countries will
feel that ICANN is not sincere when it says (as the Board did in Nairobi last
year) that it is interested in launching an inclusive new gTLD program. I need
not say that such a perception will also harm ICANN's efforts to strengthen
relations with developing countries, and get them on our side on the many
issues we'd like to have their support. For this reason, I would like hear
what suggestions you have to the board to ensure that progress cannot be
hijacked by inaction by any party.
Finally, let me say a big "Thank you!!" again to all of you for
your tireless and selfless efforts on this matter. Again, I am very sorry I
would not be able to join your call, and best wishes in your deliberations.
Have a great week, and safe travels to Singapore!
Sincerely,
Katim

Milestone Report in advance, if possible.
Kind regards,
