Marilyn,
Thanks for sending around the list of AoC
Candidates. My DOI is that I, myself, am a candidate.
Do we have any idea when the CVes,
motivation letters and GNSO answers will be circulated? Also, considering that
Peter (Chairman) said that he and Janis will take a decision this week for
announcement at the Board meeting, is it possible that the CSG Ex Com could ensure
that they get shared tomorrow with the constituencies so that this can be
thoroughly discussed and recommendations made in time?
Secondly, is the CSG Ex Com presenting a
recommended process for our SG candidates and the guidance to Wolf-Ulrich for
his role within the evaluation team/council? From the list I see that there
are several CSG candidates…
Thanks,
RA
Ronald N. Andruff

Subject: [bc-gnso] FW: final and
updated agendas/update re CSG session/apologies to the BC list/use THIS set of
materials
Steve, Sarah, Tony, Antonio, Claudio, Wolf, BC members,
Guys, sorry, things are moving quickly here.
Wolf has met with me and Antonio during the AoC Review
Team open session and we have identified with his input a serious problem with
the amount of time previously allocated to the discussion of this topic.
Accordingly, as noted earlier, on today's 6 p.m. call
which is open to all members of all these constituencies Wolf will take ten
minutes to outline the timeline, including that the evaluation team will meet
Thursday. The rest of the agenda will be the open roundup.
Secondly, Tony and I consulted with Wolf and have modified
the CSG agenda accordingly to allocate 30 minutes to discussion. I
realize that there are three applicants for these seats within the BC.
We will not evaluate any candidates in this session. I will urge all
of our members to be very sensitive to the fact this is an open session.
In the meantime, the CSG execomm members can discuss how to accelerate
the development of a process to develop the advancement of names from this SG.
I understand that members are extremely interested and are
asking for insight and involvement in a CSG process. This email is conveying
that feedback to the CSG ExComm members.
I will remind all that there is a second one hour call on
Tuesday, which presently presents an opportunity for discussion about topics
that arise on Tuesday. This call/meeting can be reconfirmed on Monday's
call/meeting at 6 p.m.
the final list of candidates AND updates on agenda for the
CSG segment. The other material in the agendas with the briefing re the
Breakfast is unchanged.
My apologies to the BC list that I am changing the CSG
agenda. The phone numbers remain unchanged, so don't lose the earlier
email, but use this version of the agendas.
Finally, an update to all of you, I have invited Markus
Kummer,Executive Secretariat of the IGF as a guest to the breakfast tomorrow.
I did that after talking to a few folks about the topics for the
breakfast and apologize for the surprise and that I didn't have a chance for
full consultation.

Subject: FW: [bc-gnso] Notes form GAC-GNSO joint meeting
Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2010 04:45:05 -0500
This briefing is an update that is available to be
distributed, as you chose, by the ISP and IPC representatives.
I have provided a briefing on the breakfast because of the
mutual interest, even for those who are not here in person.
secondly, we have confirmed business guests, and I've cc'd
them as they are invited tothe breakfast, and all other sessions.
For others who are inviting guests, I need the names from
you for seat assignments. See request for onsite assistance to place the
seating cards and make last minute adjustments and assist in on site hosting. I
also need 'volunteer sherpas' to take care of the special guests and we are
likely to be asking that of you on site.
===============================================
UPDATE ON BREAKFAST -- CROSS CONSTITUENCY BREAKFAST WITH
BOARD AND SENIOR STAFF AND GUESTS FROM SG 'SECTORS'
Please arrive a little eary to be sure you are in the room
by 7:50 a.m. since the Board and staff and guests will arrive at 8 a.m. The
Breakfast will end at 9:45 a.m.
there are there topics for the breakfast -- the third was
collaboratively developed with Peter Dengate Thrush on Saturday.
Remember that there are a number of non member guests --
some from ISPs, including from India and Kenya and AfrISPA. A few of our local
Business guests from the Computer Society of Kenya from Sunday's dinner will
join Waudo Siganga, our WITSA member of the BC. This breakfast is
intended to be a dialogue between people, and the Board has repeatedly told me,
as has the Chair, that they wish to listen and to have a dialogue.
I want to mention to all of you remote participants that
although the Board did have a competing commitment with the GNSO policy council
dinner, Peter Dengate Thrush, Chair, accepted the invitation from Waudo and me
to bring some of the Board members to the Reception and to make remarks, with
the other Board members and the ICANN staff starting the dinner with the GNSO
Policy Councilors. The V.Chair of the Policy Council graciously met with Peter
and me to collaborate on that arrangement.
the Board who came were thrilled to meet the local
business community and their enthusiam for theort of our local BC member, and
the support that we provided was very well received and several board members
congratulated me for the initiative of the BC. Since the "tool kit"
of services and support by staff to enable us to focus more on outreach and
recruitment is on our agenda for discussion with the Board during the
breakfast, we can expect a more receptive and interested 'ear' and attitude to
our desire to do more ourselves but with appropriate ICANN support to our
efforts to grow and enhance the participation, overall in the CSG's
constituencies.
SEATING: There will be a sort of rough allocation of
assigned seats, with my effort to put new people with one or two 'sherpa', that
is a seasoned member of one of the constituencies/or two, who will join them at
their table with the Board/Staff and ensure that everyone gets introduced,
socializes a bit, etc. STAY TUNED TO GET AN ASSIGNMENT.
I am inviting Steve DelBianco, Tony Harris and need one
more volunteer to help with distributing the seating assignments. You
will need to arrive at 7:15 a.m. at the Venue.
The room for the breakfast will be distributed shortly, as
soon as I get it from ICANN.
THREE TOPICS for table discussion: Some board
members and staff will be leaving at 9 and 9:30 a.m. for other commitments.
There will be non members [potential members] at each table. After
the breakfast, please escort these folks into the CSG meeting, if they are
available to join us. I would ask that the 'sherpas' play a bit of a introductory
role to your colleagues, as needed.

INSTITUTIONAL CONFIDENCE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ICANN'S ACTING IN THE PUBLIC

relevance to the three constituencies and to ICANN.
