Well we had use of one guy from one of these expert groups to help LACRALO to find a good agreement and the guy was quite good one.  David PLUMB - David Plumb dplumb@cbi.org

He had quite interesting previous experience dealing with strikes that went bad etc etc..

He had helped a lot our community. So it is not strange to ICANN to hire such people.

Interesting Javier. We did say this in our previous submission -- there are professionals in this field ICANN should be using for thorny issues. That's why I am asking that these suggestions already submitted be brought forward. Maybe I could add this as an example of good suggestions in the other submissions that were never addressed.

Hello to all. IMHO, an aspect that seems absent from this discussion is the possibility of professional facilitation in thorny issues, to the extent compatible with MSM.

 

This idea might go a bit against the grain in terms of community self-governance which cannot be underestimated, but there are profesional entities out there that are experts in getting diverse and even enemy groups to sit down and negotiate (from peace / reconciliation agreements among guerrillas and states, to more run of the mill, less bellicose disagreements).  I’ve seen these entities in action (I remember one called REOS Partners 

https://reospartners.com/) and I believe these professional approaches could help a contentious working group be more purposeful, efficient and effective-Maybe pack months of work into a few days.  

 

If this notion  is seen completely out of the ICANN  MSM self-governance comfort zone, perhaps one of these professional organizations could help train ICANN community volunteer/leaders and perhaps also ICANN staff, on these communication and consensus building techniques. ICANN org would get great ‘bang for the buck’ in investments such as these, which would both enhance participation and speed-up processes in WGs & PDPs.
