Dear Bruce, Please find the following citations from the Board's comments (just as few examples) on CCWG 3d proposals see belows *I**ntroductory Part * “*The Board will have to consider whether its concerns were addressed and * *whether the final recommendations (including the specifics within those recommendations) are in the global public interest” * Recommendation 1 Part A “With regard to Paragraph 55, bullet 4, on the community involvement in defining the public interest, the Board supports that the development of a definition of the “global public interest” should involve the full community, including the Board. That is aligned with the work that is already underway and consistent with the strategic plan. The language suggested by the CCWG for the Articles of Incorporation should be modified, however, to reflect that once developed, the organization will be guided by a clear definition of global public interest. The suggestion that “global public interest” should be left to “interpretation” could lead to unpredictable and conflicting results, and the Board sees an important role in helping to define the global public interest as it relates to ICANN’s Mission” “ PART C *To reinforce the importance of the concerns raised above, should the Board’s comments not be directly addressed, the Board would have to consider, as specified in the 16 October 2014 resolution, whether it believes the specifics of the recommendation meet the global public interest * * Recommendation 5 “the Board would have to consider, as specified in the 16 October 2014 resolution, whether it believes this recommendation meets the public interest and whether there would be a need to initiate a formal dialogue with the CCWG over the proposed edits to the Mission Statement. The Board’s concerns could be addressed in other ways”. Recommendation 7 “*To reinforce the importance of the concerns raised above, should the Board’s comments not be directly addressed, the Board would have to consider, as specified in the 16 October 2014 resolution, whether it believes the specifics of this recommendation meet the global public interest and whether there would be a need to initiate a formal dialogue with the CCWG over the timing of addressing the human rights issue. Set forth here is a proposal that would address the Board’s concerns. **The Board’s concerns could be addressed in other ways*. ““ Recommendation 12 *Include the principles that were included in the Board’s October 2014 resolution on consideration of Work Stream 1 efforts, including: a requirement for consensus recommendations; dialogue if the Board believes that any of the recommendations * * are not in the global public interest; requirement **that a 2/3 vote of the Board is required to reject any recommendation after consultation; and agreement that the Board will not change the consensus recommendations on its own. * In these Examples the Board expressed its desire to change, revise, modify or replace certain parts of a given Recommendations* .* However, it made an ULTIMATUM that, if such changes, modifications, replacement and ... are not accepted ,it WILL REJECT THESE TEXTS ON THE GROPUND THAT THEY ARE INCONSISTENT WITH PUBLIC INTERTESTS ? Since the board is not sure what would be the interpretation of public interest see below “Global public interest” should be left to “interpretation” could lead to unpredictable and conflicting results, and the Board sees an important role in helping to define the global public interest as it relates to ICANN’s Mission” How ,on the one hand clearly specifies that there is no clear and agreed definition for “GPI” and .on the other hand makes a recourse to the undefined definition and intimidate that should the CCWG does accept Board’s suggestion it will VETO THEM on the ground that they are inconsistent with “GPI”? May you please clarify the matter? Kavouss 2015-12-30 14:44 GMT+01:00 Roelof Meijer <Roelof.Meijer@sidn.nl>:
Chris, Nigel,
Let me get this clear: you guys can¹t participate in the calls in January because you¹re both on a boat trip?
And Nigel wants to abandon the boat because Chris is in too? I can understand that, but would have expected it to be the other way around (not meaning the boat abandoning Nigel)
Cheers,
Roelof

I'm very personally in the same boat.
I have attempted to add some value to the process, but in view of the nature (probably by design) of the proposed work-plan, I'm on the point of abandoning all but the most superficial of participation.
I'm sure others are in this boat with me ...

Hi Mathieu,
Thanks for this. Do you have a proposed topic agenda yet. I won¹t be able to make all the calls (and I expect others will be in the same boat) so it would helpful to have an overarching agenda for the calls as soon as possible. Apologies if this has been sent already and I have missed it.
Cheers,
Chris

Dear Kavouss, Dear Paul, All,
Some of you have raised concerns about the work plan and the decision to schedule two calls a week, announced in my 24th December email.
Participants to our meeting #73 will remember that this issue was discussed during that call (https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56986612). Key take away was the need for plenary discussions rather than multiplying subgroups.
While we certainly recognize the different views expressed about the timeline for delivering our final report, we are also trying to organize our calls in a manner that enables inclusive and informed debate about the comments received. 24 hours of calls in January "only" represent two hours of discussions per recommendation (leaving aside other types of issues that we dedicate time on during our calls). Two hours to fully understand concerns and find a way forward that is acceptable to all.
We hope that, by using a topic based agenda and providing a thorough analysis of the comments received ahead of the call, we can make the best use of everyone's time during these calls, so that they can remain driven by the willingness to understand each of the concerns in good faith and find common ground, as we have demonstrated in the past that our group can do.
If needed and desired within the group, we might have to rely on intensive days (possibly on a week end) as some of you suggested, but we are aware of the challenges of such an approach and would like to avoid that as much as possible.
As a follow up to the discussion that took place during our meeting #73, we will put these proposals for discussion during our next meeting, on January 5th, and look forward to your further contributions and suggestions.
Best regards, Leon, Thomas & Mathieu _______________________________________________ Accountability-Cross-Community mailing list Accountability-Cross-Community@icann.org <mailto:Accountability-Cross-Community@icann.org> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/accountability-cross-community
