Notes
1. Welcome/Introductions (Michael Karanicolas, Chris Wilson)
·
Introduction of participants
2. Overview of Subgroup's Work & Timing (CW)
·
CW: distributed a Powerpoint presentation last week. Listing of the 4 core issues. Review of timeline.
3. Primary Identification of Issues
·
Improving DIDP Ed Morris - overuse of the 12 categories by ICANN to deny requests. Would ICANN be open tor reviewing the 12 denial reasons as a more effective way of proceeding. Phil Corwin supports EM and finds trying to use the DIDP very frustrating - should the Ombudsman (an independent party) review to see if the test is met? Michael Karanicols: review mechanisms are critical to this type of process.
·
Improve ICANN's transparency with respect to governments. Chris Wilson: there has been some discussion on the3 CCWG list on this topic.Michael Karanicols: the non-disclosure agreements will be an important topic.
·
Improvements to the Whistleblower policy. Avri Doria: there is a pending recommendation from ATRT2 that has been approved by the Board to review the Whistleblower policy. Wondering if this group can motivate getting a professional review done for this. Samantha Eisner: Review is completed 2 parts, first recommendations vs best practices and then possibly extending coverage. Michael Karanicols: hope this group will undertake its own review in addition to this.
·
Transparency of Board deliberations. Sonigitu Ekpe: important to have Board meeting recorded unless for specific exceptions. Farzaneh Badii: what are the exception to Board transparency ? Michael Karanicols: this is some of the things we will be looking at.
4. Logistics going Forward (Chris Wilson)
·
Weekly calls? Maybe start weekly and then reduce. David McAuley (RySG): Maybe calls every other week for a few calls and we can see if that is good.
·
email engagement will be critical
·
Time of Day - David McAuley (RySG): It seems only fair to move around the clock given vast time zone differences. Times that are available aRE 0500, 1300 and 1900 UTC.
·
Stick with Thursday every other week and rotate the time of day. No objections. Co-chairs will confirm time and day of meetings going forward.
5. AOB (Michael Karanicols)
·
Next call will be in two weeks.
· Meeting Adjourned.
