[council] FW: Thursday Session on Enhancing ICANN's accountability

["Jonathan Robinson" <jrobinson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,


We touched on this today.  It seems that we could do with a volunteer or two
to contribute to Thursday's panel.


When I raised this at the end of our meeting with the ICANN Board, Avri &
James both approached me indicated that they have ATRT experience and would
be willing to do so.

 

Any concerns or inputs?  

 

Jonathan

Subject: Thursday Session on Enhancing ICANN's accountability

 

All,

 

On Thursday, June 26 at 10:30-12:30, there will a session on Enhancing ICANN
Accountability in light of the NTIA IANA Stewardship Transition. The purpose
of this session is to advance the community dialogue on this important
subject. To help make it as informative, interactive and constructive as
possible, we propose the following structure: 

*       Introduction and review of community input received in London -
Theresa Swinehart
*       Overview of existing ICANN accountability mechanisms - Steve Crocker
*       Expert presentation on accountability and possible questions for
community consideration - Jan Aart Scholte
<http://www.globalstudies.gu.se/english/about-us/staff?languageId=100001&use
rId=xsjana> , Professor, School of Global Studies, Gothenborg, Sweden
*       Open mike for community input and dialogue with a panel comprised of
SO and AC representatives, Steve Crocker, Prof. Scholte and past members of
ATRT reviews (Larry Strickling, Fiona Asonga and David Conrad). The dialogue
would be moderated by Chris Disspain. 

Our request to you as SO and AC leaders is to designate one or more
representatives from your communities to participate on the panel described
above. The representatives would not be expected to make any presentations
or prepare any remarks. Rather, the panelists would be there to respond or
react to open mike input that is relevant to the panelist's experience or
knowledge. Chris would help keep the discussion focused on the subject of
enhancing ICANN's accountability in light of the NTIA IANA stewardship
transition. He would also facilitate the dialogue between the community and
the panelists.  This interactive dialogue has the potential to more
interesting, informative and constructive than simply collecting input from
speakers at the open mike.

 

Please let us know at your earliest convenience if you are willing to
designate a representative(s) from your community to sit on the panel. If
you have any questions or feedback on the proposed approach to this session,
please send those to us as well. Thank you for considering this proposal.

 

Best,

Jamie
