hi all,
i like the idea of structured/written feedback from the Council as
well. could we form a small drafting team to pull a rough outline
together over this coming weekend so that we’d have a rough high-level
draft to carry into Singapore? i’d like to join such a gang.

All,
The strategy panels are (as I understand it) intended to inform or
potentially inform the further development of the 5 year strategic plan
http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/strategic-29oct13-en.htm
which will lead into the associated operating plans.
Therefore, I think that a key issue for us will be separating our
thinking and responses into two distinct areas:
a.Any issues with the formation and execution of the strategy panels
b.Any issues with the output of one or more of the strategy panels in
so far as they may impact the 5 yr strategic plan
The more I hear, the more it seems appropriate for us to feed
structured (written) comment from the Council in relation to the
strategy panels, in particular responding to the specific output/s of
the MSI panel.

In the current (draft) operating plan for FY15, it already envisages
“optimisation of the policy development process” although I have to
say, I am not sure what this means

*Subject:* Re: [council] Conversation Wrap-Up & Next Steps
Hi,
For some reason, I just don’t understand the danger this panel is
posing. It reads a lot to me like the opinion of someone who is
largely uninformed on the nature of the multistakeholder bottom-up
consensus building nature of the GNSO processes, and what it takes to
make changes to them. Does anyone here actually believe that radical
changes in GNSO operating procedures can be unilaterally imposed by
Fadi or the ICANN BoDs because the GovLab said so??
I really would like to hear concerns based on concrete actions you
all feel might actually take place. Better yet…, instead of
speculating, why not ask the ICANN BoDs to clear this up once and for
all? In BA, the phrase “non-binding Board action” was floated around,
and I have no idea what a non-binding Board action is.
I certainly feel that we, the GNSO Council, should do our duty of
managing the GNSO's PDP in accordance with the ICANN by-laws, the PDP
manual and the WG guidelines. We’ve been elected by our stakeholder
groups and constituencies to do just that, and so far, I don’t see an
impending assault. I’ve gone through the MSI Panel report and some of
the proposals (not all of them), and I am lead to believe that the
authors are in no way experts. In fact, ICANN aside, they seem to
have a great deal of misguided assumptions on the principles of the
ethnography of multistakeholder organisations, and how the
introduction of collaborative tools influences them.
Volker makes some very logical observations:

http://bit.ly/1k7FDNj
The current stakeholder engagement model provides some form of
balance of interests and promotes cooperation and compromise
solutions. Global engagement carries the danger of blurring the
lines and favoring those who have the funds or time to contribute
most and drowning out "lesser" voices. As a matter of fact, the
public comment phases already provide a forum for global
engagement and for parties independant of the existing
stakeholder groups to make their voices heard.
Exactly…, and they make that completely unfounded assumption that the
introduction of more collaborative tools will achieve more global
engagement. Perfectly ridiculous.
> 2.Use expert networking: http://bit.ly/1lof1c5
This is one I am actually more inclined to support than others,
mostly because this is something the ICANN community has already been
saying for ages. ICANN needs to be more inclusive of expert opinion.
The most recent example is the failure of ICANN staff to grasp the
concept of European data protection law and their attempts to
negotiate what the law actually means. That said, as we knew this
already, this recommendation is not really news, but if it helps
ICANN understand, I am all for it.
No way I’m going to argue with you on that one!! :) I would also add
to that - encouraging the trend of commissioning studies such as the
recent WHOIS studies provided that the community sets the terms of
reference.
> 3.Get Broad-based input/crowdsource at each stage of
decision-making: http://bit.ly/1czpNXn
Last I heard the public comment forums, ICANN participation and PDP
participation were not exclusive to ICANN stakeholder groups.
True…, but apparently the “experts” haven’t heard what you’ve heard.
> 4.Use Open Data and open contracting: http://bit.ly/1jcv3Rt
Is this not already in place?
Yes again, but the “experts” don’t seem to know how to find the
contracts ICANN has with its contracted parties, nor understand how
they came to be.
> 5.Experiment with Innovative Voting Techniques: http://bit.ly/1nwta2H
This would be a topic for GNSO reform/innovation.
If you mean how the GNSO is structured, maybe. But my understanding
was that they not only recommend that the GNSO’s decision-making
guidelines be changed, but also decision-making guidelines on the
stakeholder group and constituency levels currently defined in their
respective charters/by-laws. I just don’t see that happening because
they said so.
>6.Impose Rotating Term Limits: http://bit.ly/1nUmkEr
- This reminds me of the Russian shuffle: Putin-Medvedev-Putin
While I agree that ICANN needs to be more inclusive and outreach
remains one of its weak points, I am not sure Rotating Term Limits
are the solution.
All in all, I still think that reform of ICANN should come from within.
Sure, but by definition, that means public comment and everyone is
entitled to express an opinion.
I feel that if we want to take a serious step to settle the issue of
(specifically) this panel, we need a clear answer from Fadi and the
ICANN Board on what their intentions are regarding the proposals
being made. For example, if they are in any way related to the work
of the SIC and the forthcoming GNSO review, I would like to know
about it. My understanding is that the last GNSO review was initiated
by the GNSO Council as opposed to the upcoming one, which will be a
Board-initiated review. Getting some answers would provide the
context we need to decide the appropriate position we need to take.
Thanks.

All,
In discussion with Beth Novek and colleagues from the Governance
Lab last week, a suggestion emerged that we could potentially
narrow down the list of MSI Panel proposals for more detailed
discussion.
It is not yet 100% clear to me as to whether or not we will be
able to meet with one or more of the team from the Gov Lab in
Singapore but it seems likely and, in any event, it’s useful to
consider how we might respond to the output of the panel, in
particular where it seems to link most closely with our own
work. We discussed condensing their work into a most relevant
sub-set for further discussion
From their perspective and having made themselves aware of the
work of the GNSO, the suggested sub-set (from them) for further
condensation is as follows:
1.Move from "Stakeholder" engagement to Global Engagement:
http://bit.ly/1k7FDNj
2.Use expert networking: http://bit.ly/1lof1c5
3.Get Broad-based input/crowdsource at each stage of
decision-making: http://bit.ly/1czpNXn
4.Use Open Data and open contracting: http://bit.ly/1jcv3Rt
5.Experiment with Innovative Voting Techniques: http://bit.ly/1nwta2H
6.Impose Rotating Term Limits: http://bit.ly/1nUmkEr
I also talked with the Gov Lab people about considering the above
proposals through a (non-exhaustive) list of criteria as follows:
A.Is the proposal relevant to us?
B.Is it currently applicable to our work?
C.How could the proposal be modified/amended/advanced to be
applicable or more applicable to our work?
D.How might we pilot/test these proposals in order to determine
whether and how the proposal could be a useful amendment or
reform for ICANN?
None of this pre-supposes that this work was commissioned,
initiated or executed in a way which we consider optimal.
It simply takes a “we are where we are” view of the work and
recognises that we have the opportunity to potentially engage
with the team that undertook the work.
In addition, we will still have the opportunity to provide formal
public comment on this and engage through any other applicable
forums at the ICANN meeting in Singapore.
Thoughts or input welcome.
