Notes: (including relevant portions of the chat):
- Intro stuff: agenda review, attendance, SOI check
· Apologies received from Jordan Carter & George Sadowsky
· Roll call will be taken from the AC room
· Agenda approved
· No SOI updates
- Review mandate
· Reviewed mandate from Annex12
- Review of where we are
· Formal request for documentation made, still pending
· Had initial discussion with Goran in F2F in HYD
· Jordan & Avri have discussed basis for cooperation between Staff and Community, and are preparing a write-up of those discussions to share with the group asap
· Denise: Do we have more details on how/when Goran is planning to document staff's role?
· Avri: Should be part of the answers we are waiting to receive from ICANN
· Greg: general message I heard from Goran is that the staff is here to serve/support the community. Performance reviews is a key point for this group to deal with.
·
Alan Greenberg: Performance reviews of people who are here to serve the volunteer community, but with no input from the volunteer community, is :"interesting"
· Jeff Neumann would like to bring up another point. It feels that sometimes staff are at a loss and don't know what their path forward is. It is frustrating when something needs to be implemented and doesn't get implemented by ICANN staff.
· We need answers on what exists, in order to review and further discuss.
·
Pam Little: Could we get a commitment when our questions will be answered?
· Phil Corwin would like to bring up another point: means for GDD staff tio be sensitized to policy implications of certain contract negotiating positions and a procedure for them to inform policy staff and GNSO Council in advance to gather feedback on impact and appropriateness.
- Review of what we need to get done and how we will get it done.
· Avri presented next steps per her presentation
· Reviewed the Staff Acct dashboard slide, that will be updated monthly.
- Schedule and can we still meet the short track schedule
· Avri thought the group was on the longer track, but for now the group is on the shorter track.
· Seems difficult to meet the shorter track timeline, given the remaining work.
· Alan, Greg, Cheryl agree the group cannot meet the shorter schedule.
·
Robin Gross: There are so many different ongoing working groups going on right now. It is just not possible to get it all done on the timeline ICANN wants.
- AOB
· No AOB.
