Dear Mathieu, Thank you for the one pagers, I don´t know how the CCWG is going to collect reactions to the one pagers. But here are my initial reactions on two of them, as they are close to my own comments to the initial draft. 1. I have something to add to the internal accountability in the corporation which is not reflected in the one pager. I want to refer to the recommendations of the ATRT2 regarding the revision procedures. The present procedures have been regularly dented, because it is difficult to argue when there is a a staff vs. a Board action/inaction to object. The final decision on the revision process is controlled by staff. Furthermore, there is even less scope in the revision process to have transparency about the arms length separation of staff action/inaction between the different steps of the activities of the corporation (i.e. policy development -normally related to the GNSO Council-, policy implementation -normally related to GDD- and contract compliance). As I commented to the initial draft, there is little on the Revision process and even less on its direct inter-relation to the ITP. I can hardly think that a global concept like “accountability culture” will cover all bases for this very specific accountability issues. Either this is a new additional block, or I can hardly see any chance for a fruitful discussion under the present time limitations. 2. The challenge for a common standard of accountability for the whole community is not only part of the “road ahead” section of the Net Mundial statement in general terms, but is also present in the varied definitions of consensus that we have ween in the CCWG but did not make it to the draft, as well as the standards for SOI that the present PDP on the framework for Cross Community Working groups, as presently under discussion. Again the respective one pager is obvious to all this background. 3. I have not read the other two one pagers but if they are as general as the first two, I don´t understand how the CCWG will move forward on those relevant issues. Do you have any suggestion like small subgroups that would drill deeper on them and look for the meat of the issue? Is there a chance to add one or two more blocks to the initial 4 ones? there are some other hints in the Sunday evening address by Larry Strickling, in terms of the relevance of certain issues towards the standards set by the NTIA that should help address this new list of issues in a more effective way. Look forward to your comments. best Carlos Raúl Gutiérrez +506 8837 7176 Skype: carlos.raulg On 22 Jun 2015, at 17:47, Mathieu Weill wrote:
Dear Colleagues,
As discussed last friday when we reviewed the public comments, some of the feedback we have received require us to consider whether and how we should address several topics : - staff accountability culture - Board duties and roles - enhancing diversity - enhancing SO/AC accountability
In order to kick start discussions on these topics, we have assembled one pagers attempting to describe each issue (based essentially on comments we have received) as well some of the potential actions that were suggested. Please note that these are discussion papers and in no way reflect any "position" on the matters.
It is anticipated that we could have initial discussions on these topics In our upcoming work sessions. But this mailing list is also an appropriate place to share your reflections on these matters, as I noted Jordan already did on another thread.
Best regards,
-- Mathieu WEILL
