Criteria for review of Board resolutions
by Fiona Alexander Aug. 16, 2013

Aug. 16, 2013

Below is what we have begun the review with. Please let us know if there are other criteria to consider. Review of the ICANN Board Resolutions on three (3) overarching criteria in order to determine the quality of such decisions and whether they make sense to ordinary citizens not heavily involved in the ICANN process: 1. Does the Board provide a clear explanation of its decision? Are there substantive actions to be taken to further improve the ICANN process? 2. Does the Board provide a clear and reasonable rationale for its decision? Is that rationale easy to understand to an ICANN outsider? 3. Does the Board provide an explanation of how it took into consideration public comments (if any)? If comments were considered, how did they affect the decision?

this is great news!!! Carlos Raúl ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ICANN News Alert <communications(a)icann.org> Date: 2013/8/16 Subject: ICANN News Alert -- Affirmation of Commitment Reviews Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT-RT) | Call for Volunteer Members: Representing ICANN Advisory Committees and Supporting Organizations; and Serving as Independent Experts To: crg(a)isoc-cr.org ** [image: ICANN] <http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-16aug13-en.htm ------------------------------ Affirmation of Commitment Reviews Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT-RT) | Call for Volunteer Members: Representing ICANN Advisory Committees and Supporting Organizations; and Serving as Independent Experts 16 August 2013 *Volunteer applications due by 1 October 2013* Overview In line with the Affirmation of Commitments<http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/aoc/affirmation-of-commitments-30s…>(AoC) requirements, and as directed<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-18jul13-en.htm#2…>by the ICANN Board, ICANN invites interested individuals to apply for volunteer Review Team Member positions – either in representation of a Supporting Organization or Advisory Committee, or as an Independent Expert – to serve on the Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT-RT). The Review Team will work in two phases: - Phase One will occur as soon as the Review Team is appointed, and involves evaluating various metrics to be collected by ICANN as proposed by the GNSO Council, ALAC, and others, as appropriate, and developing recommendations for the set of metrics to be collected by ICANN in preparation for the upcoming review of the New gTLDs, as described in Phase Two. - Phase Two will occur after new gTLDs have been in operation for one year, and involves examining data to assess the extent to which the introduction or expansion of gTLDs has promoted competition, consumer trust, and consumer choice. Additionally, the Review Team will evaluate the effectiveness of the application and evaluation process, as well as the safeguards put in place by ICANN to mitigate issues involved in the introduction or expansion of new gTLDs. - Once the proposed metrics are delivered to the Board at the conclusion of Phase One, the Review Team's work will be suspended until the new gTLDs have been in operation for one year. In the interim, ICANN will develop the systems and collect the metrics approved through this process. - The composition of the Review Team will be confirmed at the start of Phase Two, but is expected to comprise the same members from Phase One. Because of the phased approach and the extended duration of the work for this review, Review Team members may be replaced as appropriate. *Candidatures are to be submitted to rtcandidatures(a)icann.org by 1 October 2013 – 23:59 UTC.* Schedule for Phase One Announcement and call for volunteers 16 August 2013 Applications due 1 October 2013 SO/AC endorsement of applicants due 4 November 2013 Announcement of Team members 22 November 2013 Phase 1 project kick-off December 2013/January 2014 Submission of recommended metrics (estimated) July 2014 Tentative Schedule for Phase Two 1<http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-16aug13-en.htm#foot1> Phase Two project kick-off ICANN 51 Meeting (October 2014) Review Team work and submission of Initial Report (estimated) October 2014 – ICANN 52 Meeting (June 2015) Final Report submitted (estimated) September 2015 Please read the detailed Call for Applicants<http://www.icann.org/en/about/aoc-review/cctrt/call-for-volunteers-16aug13-…>for more information and details on the application procedure and the CCT-RT mandate. ------------------------------ 1<http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-16aug13-en.htm#note1>Due to uncertainty about the timing of when new gTLDs will be operational and the availability of the data needed to perform the review, these dates are estimates.

Apropos today's Reconsiderations and Appeals discussion
by Avri Doria Aug. 16, 2013

Aug. 16, 2013

Good morning, Just reading a quote from Akram Atallah, president of ICANN’s Generic Domains Division, this morning on http://domainincite.com/14208-interview-atallah-on-new-gtld-objection-losers “Of course, as with anything ICANN, they have some other avenues for asking for reconsidering the decision,” he added. “Basically, going to the Ombudsman, filing a Reconsideration Request, or even lobbying the board or something. Murphy then goes on to discuss whether the reconsideration process is valid in this case and does point out that no reconsiderations process has ever resulted in a changed decisions. Do we need to figure this ICANN staff understanding of the reconsideration process into our discussions? We also probably need to talk about the Ombudsman's role in this repsect as part of our ombudsman discussion. avri

Staff response to follow up questions to HR re: Multilinguism
by Larisa B. Gurnick Aug. 16, 2013

Aug. 16, 2013

The Team has follow-up questions with respect to ICANN staff's multilingualism. Below are responses from Steve Antonoff, Director of Human Resources: 1. Do we have metrics of staff multilingualism? Is this data public? Denise clarified that the ATRT 1 recommendation implementation focused on Senior staff. However, do you track this information for all staff? * From time to time we survey staff but have not done so, therefore we do not have metrics for the entire staff. We have not published publicly. * In order to track we need some automation that is currently not available in our current tools. We are evaluating some new tools that would give us the capability to do this - we are probably a year away. 1. Is our educational program (foreign languages) documented? Do we have metrics we may share with the Team relative to the number of training sessions that have taken place and the number of staff that participated? * The educational program is not formal in the sense that we track attendance, measure improvement, etc. We encourage multilingualism and provide tools to staff who wish to pursue. We currently don't have the capability to track. * We have posted the language training through busuu.com on the staff wiki under "Talent Development Offerings". In addition to busuu.com ICANN owns a number of Rosetta Stone systems that have been purchased to accommodate specific requests. For example, we now have a copy of Rosetta Stone Turkish which is checked out to a staff member. We have also paid for classroom training as well when appropriate - for example we paid for a Belgian staff member who was fluent in French and English to take Dutch classes, we've paid for a staff member in Los Angeles to study Spanish locally in a classroom setting, etc. 1. Can we compare the number of Senior staff that was multi-lingual around the time that ATRT 1 issued its report (Dec 2010) to where we are today? * Measuring multilingualism of senior staff as of December 2010 to today is possible but will have to be done manually and will take some time. Expect to have this ready by 23 August. Larisa B.
