Question on discussing issues related to ICANN while a member of the ATRT
by Avri Doria Feb. 28, 2013

Feb. 28, 2013

Hi, As someone who blogs and uses other social media both for communicating and gather information, I just want to confirm that we have no restrictions on the use of social and other media in the process of our work. This seems natural to me in a process that includes full transparency except for confidential personal information, but before proceeding I did want to make sure others felt this way as well. Avri

Egalitarian listing of ATRT2 members?
by Steve Crocker Feb. 26, 2013

Feb. 26, 2013

During the organization call Friday I was using a print out of the members. It had separate sections for the Volunteer Review Team members, the Independent Experts and the Ex-Officios. My preference is for all of the team members to be considered uniformly part of the same team, leaving behind the history of how we were selected. However, if the team prefers to retain the distinctions, it's certainly workable. This is a small point, but since I found myself reacting internally and, to some extent, tripping over it while I chaired the call, I thought I'd mention it. Preferences? Thanks, Steve

Chairs etc.
by Avri Doria Feb. 23, 2013

Feb. 23, 2013

Hi, Just to write down the point I was making about a "chair and alternate chair" concept. I find this is becoming an increasingly poplar notion both in ICANN and outside. One of the disadvantages of co-chairs, is that people on the outside of the group really don't know where to address the final responsibility for a group when there are co-chairs. If they are both equal, do you have to address both of them all the time? If one has made the call, do you get to go to the other for a revised all? One of the disadvantages of a chair/vice chair arrangement is that the vice chair can rarely take any action without first consulting her boss, the chair. This limits the usefulness of the vice chair role. With a chair and an alternate chair, you find that the point-person is established and in case of diverging opinion between those with responsibility, you know who the tie breaker is. But it allows the two to work together and cover each other's tasks. What most often seems to happen is that they end up dividing responsibilities according to their inclinations and talents. I beleive it has the advantage that both other arrangenemts offer without the disadvantages. Just a thought, avri

Fadi Chehadé will attend second day of March 14-15 meeting
by Steve Crocker Feb. 22, 2013

Feb. 22, 2013

Folks, I should have mentioned one of the scheduling issues related to the March 14-15 meeting is Fadi's schedule. Fadi has always been adamant about attending the ATRT2's first meeting and places a high priority on the ATRT2's work. He is traveling but will make a point of returning to L.A. to be with us. He won't get home in time for the first day, but he will be with us on the second day, Friday. I see the group is already engaged in vigorous discussion, so I feel like we're well launched. I'm delighted. Cheers, Steve

Tools
by Avri Doria Feb. 22, 2013

Feb. 22, 2013

Hi, This is a repeat of a comment I made on the Adobe chat with a bunch of extra. I recommend that in addition to this email list, we set up an ongoing archived chat space. I don't care what technology gets used, e.g. skype, google, jabber ... I have found that in other groups I am on, good conversations get going around the group asynchronously, so that all get to participate in their own time. It allows, however, for greater approximation of the flow of conversation than email does. Of course, it is not a decision making tool, just a discussion tool. I also recommend that we have and use the confluence wiki services ICANN has, including allowing for members of the group to do collaborative work on necessary pieces of writing. Again this allows for asynchronous collaboration in our own time frames. I also recommend that in the future we turn the voice capabilities of the Adobe connect service on. This allows for those who are having telephony difficulties to have another possibility for full participation in the meetings. And of course we need to use the top of the line service that ICANN has to offer for remote participation when one of us cannot make a meeting. One thing I did not mention, has to do with the transparency of our work to the rest of the community. With rare exception, I think everything we say or do should be visible to the entire community. That means I suggest that all of our lists and chats have open archives and that our calls use a mechanism similar to the one used by the GNSO council where the calls and face to face meetings are streamed for non-members to listen in on. As for the rare exceptions, we should be explicit and transparent about the what and when of those exception to full transparency. thanks avri
