thanks Mike, just got around to reviewing this. this describes a basket of staff services that would be made available to constituencies and stakeholder groups -- and i like what is here. just to highlight the important bit from the document here's the list of services that's being proposed, in priority sequence: Assembling background and reference materials for Working Groups Support for organizing face-to-face meetings (e.g. date/time, location, equipment, telephone bridge and, in certain venues, arranging accommodations) Support for organizing teleconferences (schedule, announce, monitor) Preparing minutes of formal meetings and teleconferences Assisting volunteer leaders by identifying/scheduling liaison contacts within ICANN Web site hosting and content maintenance (i.e., keeping site up to date with relevant documents and information) Organizational record keeping (e.g., statements of interest, archives) Maintaining up-to-date member contact info, mailing/discussion lists Producing MP3 recordings of meetings Assisting in conducting elections for officers i think it would be a really good idea for us to fold this into our discussion about the role of our Secretariat in the future. if this were to come to an up/down vote at the next Council meeting, i'd support a vote in favor of proceeding with the working-group's recommended list. thanks Philip, for representing us on this team. mikey On Nov 5, 2009, at 10:28 AM, Mike Rodenbaugh wrote:
Fyi from the Operations Steering Committee. Philip has been representing on this, so he may have some comments, and of course comments are welcome from anyone interested. Apparently these will come to a Council vote in December.
