Dear CCWG - for your info, Jordan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jordan Carter <jordan@internetnz.net.nz> Date: 2 July 2015 at 15:29 Subject: WP1 Work to Do - Now to July - Please Read To: "wp1@icann.org" <wp1@icann.org> Dear all Thanks for the contributions on our work planning call for Work Party 1 today. *Please read this email carefully and add your thoughts. * A separate note later today or early tomorrow will outline the WP1 meetings we need to have between now and 14 July. We have three pieces of work to do by the end of the month. They are listed below, and then some detail fleshed out in the rest of this email, along with the *call for volunteers...* Three things need to be done: *1. Prepare draft content for our Second Public Comment report, for discussion at Paris & finalising by end month* *2. Start the bylaws-preparation process, using the AOC reviews as a test case* *3. Prepare responses to all the public comments from PC1* *On 1:* the chunks of work we need to do are to prepare updated content that takes account of: - the feedback received in PC1 - the discussions with the community and in our group at Buenos Aires - further analysis and refinement we make as WP1 This draft material should be done in time for the Paris meeting, and so has to respect the document freeze on 14 July. We need to do this for the following areas, and we need a Lead Volunteer for each area: Community Mechanism - balance of power / votes / influence Community Mechanism - whether there is a Council, or just a vote counting mechanism Community Power - Budget/Strat Plan / Operating Plan Community Power - Blocking ordinary bylaws changes Community Power - Approving Fundamental Bylaws changes Community Power - Removal of individual Directors Community Power - Recall of the whole ICANN Board Affirmation of Commitments - inclusion of AOC reviews in bylaws Affirmation of Commitments - other matters (what happens to AOC, etc) Not on this list is the Model itself (empowered designators, empowered SO/AC) - my understanding is that the lawyers are being asked to develop material on this, and that it will be central to our meeting in Paris. *If there are areas of work omitted above, please raise them ASAP*. *:: Call for Volunteers ::* If you would like to *volunteer* to lead any particular piece of work for the above, *please do so ASAP* - by email to me, or to this email list. Ideally, there will be one volunteer for each of the lines above. I have some people who have agreed to be "voluntold" - Avri and Matt Shears are in this category. But for the start, free choice! The task will be to be lead writer on a tracked changes version of the PC1 content, showing what you propose to change for the Second report. The approach asked is to: a) analyse the public comments and the discussions in BA b) propose draft text changes that take this into account The example Steve delBianco circulated earlier today is a way to do it. Your drafting will lead to discussion of your proposed content in WP1. We will do as much as we can to improve the drafts and get consensus, but we will debate all the material through in Paris is my current knowledge. On *item 2 - bylaws drafting - *Steve has started this process with the AOC and we will discuss this content on our next WP1 call. On *item 3 - public comments replies -* I propose that people take some account of this as they do the drafting work, and be prepared to spend some time on completing this task (responses to the comments we got in PC1) *after* the Paris meeting. I look forward to your thoughts as to any gaps in the proposed work, and to your volunteering excellence. cheers Jordan -- Jordan Carter Chief Executive *InternetNZ* 04 495 2118 (office) | +64 21 442 649 (mob) jordan@internetnz.net.nz Skype: jordancarter *A better world through a better Internet * -- Jordan Carter Chief Executive *InternetNZ* 04 495 2118 (office) | +64 21 442 649 (mob) jordan@internetnz.net.nz Skype: jordancarter *A better world through a better Internet *
