Fwd: ICANN75: Mandatory Funded Traveler Registration for Roberto Gaetano
by Roberto Gaetano Aug. 3, 2022

Aug. 3, 2022

Dear all I would like to draw your attention to the message below. Earlier today I have received it in my capacity of NextGen Mentor, and I assume that the NextGen Mentees have received the same. For the NextGen Mentees this is likely to be one of the first contacts with ICANN.org<http://ICANN.org>, so they will be shaping their opinion on the organization on this. The message arrived a few hours ago, but I am reading it only now, at the end of the business day, when I am looking at tasks that I am doing a volunteer - I imagine that for a few Mentees this would be the same. I am asked to complete my registration by tomorrow. The registration process includes several actions, that I do not repeat here because you can read them below, highlighted in red - with apologies to the folks that have emails in plain text only. I assume that people are expected to read docs like standards of behaviour, anti-harassment policy, etc. before signing them - and also reflect on what that means for them. Remember what happened at ICANN74 with the waiver - I, for one, will read the (hopefully updated) waiver before signing, and this will take time. But this needs to be done in 24h. On the other hand, I can expect an approval only after 2-3 business days - being today a Thursday, this means 4-5 calendar days. Being committed to the ICANN standards of behaviour, I will not add any comments to this note.

Fwd: [OFB-WG] ACTION items posted - OFB July 21 call
by Holly Raiche Aug. 2, 2022

Aug. 2, 2022

Hi Satish/Vanda At the upcoming OFB WG meeting, part of the proposed agenda will be on the ICANN Operating Initiatives. In our comments on the ICANN budget last year, we made several comments on the MSM Initiative, but almost nothing on the other initiatives, including the top priority ones for ALAC - including UA/IDNs. One of our goals for this year is to comment on the ICANN budget in light of our own priorities. And UA is one of them. The next meeting is 1800 UTC on this Thursday. Satish, I am well aware that is not a good time for you to talk about UA, but I’d really appreciate it if either or both of you could just send 10 minutes on the topic and the meeting can discuss the issue and what we might say in the context of the budget. Very much appreciated to you both - and stay safe Holly > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Ricardo Holmquist <rihogris(a)gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [OFB-WG] ACTION items posted - OFB July 21 call > Date: August 2, 2022 at 2:41:00 AM GMT+10 > To: Holly Raiche <h.raiche(a)internode.on.net> > > Dear Holly, > sorry for being late on the answer, just being one trip after the other. (like 6 countries in the last two weeks). And yes, working. > > About the agenda, I agree with you about the PTI/IANA Budget, I can produce some slides for the meeting after the webinar. > > About the Operating initiatives, I totally agree with you to have Satish/Vanda for UA and Joanna for Internet Governance. The ideal will be to have an exchange of ideas, so they understand that at the planning time ICANN decides where to spend their resources (money and people), and if these UA, MSM and Internet Governance are the priorities of At-Large, we need to at least check what the Plan says, for the coming years, and for the 5 years ahead. > > About the final point, ICANN responses to our comments. My perception is that ICANN does not change a bit of the Plan, once it is drafted, but yes, they will answer all your questions/comments in the meantime. Some of the answers are good, some of the answers are incoherent with the comment. But good or bad answer, the draft stays the same. <-- that is my very personal view. View that I don't want to ventilate in a public meeting, or with the Finance / Planning team of ICANN in the meeting. For me, it is what it is, after two years, I didn't expect otherwise. But yes, I will keep making comments and questions. > > In relation to the previous point, I think it is very important yours, and Marita comments asking ICANN for a better preparation of the At Large involvement on the priorities exercise. I think it is the only real opportunity to raise our hand and say the priorities, so ICANN can address resources. Although the exercise is very guided to some focus points, it still allows us to raise priorities from our side. > > Regards, from Catania > > Ricardo Holmquist > > > > > > >> >> I am working on finalizing the agenda for next week. Please comment on the suggestions >> >> My proposed agenda: >> >> Review of upcoming issues for comment >> >> Pilot Holistic Review Terms of Reference (ToR) OFB-WG (10 Minutes) >> >> This has been an important issue for ALAC for some time. I have prepared two slides on this and will seek nominations from the WG for a small team to develop a response to the Terms of Reference and report back at the next meeting. >> >> Improved GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Charter Amendment Process OFB-WG >> Updates to the GNSO Operating Procedures OFB-WG (5 Minutes) >> We need to discuss whether we think ALAC should respond to both of these (will be open for public comment in August) and if so, establish a small team to report back to the next meeting to recommend whether we should respond and if so, along what lines >> >> FY 24 IANA Budget (10 Minutes) >> >> My inclination is to NOT discuss this in detail at this meeting. ICANN will be holding a seminar on 11 August where we can get initial understanding of the budget. The NEXT meeting can be a presentation by ICANN Org on the budget with questions ( add link to the webinar on this agenda) >> >> >> Operating Initiatives (30 - 45 Minutes) >> >> We now have time for discussion on the operating initiatives. My suggestions: UA/IDNs. Satish and Vanda have done a lot of work already and Satish has already presented. The time zone for Satish for this meeting will not be good so ask Vanda (or Edmon)? Also, Internet Governance - and ask Joanna? Because the first budget that we will be looking at is the PTI, I am not sure either of those issues is relevant to PTI. That said, we need to hold these discussions before we look at the ICANN budget. >> >> The other suggested item is Marita’s suggestion to look at the ICANN responses to ALAC comments on the budget. I have already highlighted the responses for discussion if you would like to make that the discussion for this meeting. >> >> Looking forward to feedback so we can set the agenda and line up relevant speakers >> >> Thanks to everyone >> >> Holly >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >>> On Jul 29, 2022, at 3:04 AM, Silvia Vivanco via OFB-WG <ofb-wg(a)icann.org <mailto:ofb-wg@icann.org>> wrote: >>> >>> Dear Holly and all, >>> >>> Kindly see below the AI of July 21st call for your review and edits as you think appropriate. >>> https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Operations%2C+Finance+… <https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Operations%2C+Finance+…> >>> · Yesim Nazlar <https://community.icann.org/display/~yesim.nazlar> to schedule the next call for Thursday 04 August at 18:00 UTC.- COMPLETED >>> · Holly Raiche <https://community.icann.org/display/~holly.raiche> to add the TOR Pilot Holistic Review as Agenda topics to be discussed by this WG, in coordination with the ALAC on which group will deal with the topic. >>> · @Holly Raiche <https://community.icann.org/display/~holly.raiche> to meet with a couple of members of the OFB WG to discuss how to better understand from the Large perspective how we can support or participate in ICANN policy, and how we can respond to the two budgets in ways that will support At-Large's participation. >>> · Next steps for the WG are to look at the operating initiatives to identify, in light of the discussions we’ve had, including the strategic trends which ICANN ran and rethink our priorities, and then incorporate those into our response to the budget. >>> · The main Agenda item of the next meeting will be a follow up conversation amongst ourselves as to how we respond to the budgets and ABRs and Operating initiatives. >>> · Holly Raiche <https://community.icann.org/display/~holly.raiche> to coordinate with Silvia and Michelle to schedule a special session on August 11 or 12 on the IANA Budget >>> I am flagging the announcement “Register for the FY24 IANA Functions and PTI Planning Webinar”.
