Dear All, The notes, recordings and transcripts for the WP1 Meeting #2 - 25 February will be available here: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=52889694 Notes 1. Report of activities given on CCWG call - Roelof and Steve walked CCWG through the work conducted. Feedback on AoC reviews merged into Bylaws: - Balance (gender and geographic) and diversity baked into Bylaws - Headcount but believe It should not be limited to one per SO/AC - Sam and Sebastien recommended separate document - Kavouss suggested division of Bylaw -> Concerns about complications this might create. -- Removing Selectors from review process is a sticky point. Need to be prescriptive about Review Team composition to preserve balance and diversity - More robust description of composition is needed. Everyone should have opportunity to participate in these RTs. Agreement that it is not simple a copy and paste - refinement is needed. -- Restructuring Bylaws is a far bigger task - Need to open it up to SGs for diversity -- Issues of representation are complex - GNSO is a mini multistakeholder group -- CCWG Meeting confirmed for 23-24 March to be held in Istanbul - rapporteurs will help design agenda 2. Review of Drafts Section 2 - Non-Triggered Accountability Mechanisms with regard to the AoC and related reviews Note on ATRT review: provision added on termination of review (as deemed necessary), access to documentation, frequency of reviews (5 years as opposed to 3 years) -- Concerns about termination - potential loophole? It is counter to what we are trying to achieve. -- Objective is to empower community -- Note on SSR review: Similar to ATRT - Chair of Board not a member. -- Consider AoC as a whole into account (public interest etc) Note that in Senate Hearing, ICANN CEO said ICANN jurisdiction must remain in the USA. --- Roelof walked WP1 through his template Section 1.A Black Changes to ICANN's Bylaws Questions need our attention Belief that geographical and gender diversity not something we should go explicitly after - not necessary to go into Bylaws - others disagree. Feedback on composition needed. --- Roelof walked WP1 through his template for Section 1.B Board or Management Action in conflict with ICANN Bylaws or Articles of Incorporation --- Roelof walked WP1 through his template for Section 1 C Block adoption by ICANN Board of strategic plan or budget Independent review needs to have a standard of review - this mechanism is a veto for budget/strat plan - this demands a super majority rather than a simple majority. It would be extraordinary to block budget. Clarify that independent advice from expert. We would lose multistakeholderism if allow simple majorities - should avoid them unless there is a very good reason. Roelof will change language of draft to super majority. --- Volunteers Wp1-3A - Jordan ACTION ITEM: Jordan will contact Keith Drazek to get update on 5 Wp1-6 - no need to focus on this now (WS) -- A.O.B - Wp2 will have a meeting prior to CCWG meeting in Istanbul on 22 March Potential WP 1 dinner on 22 March - Senate Hearing - recording to be shared - comments invited.
