FW: ICANN News Alert -- Special Public Comment: Discuss Solutions to Your Biggest ICANN Problems

All, See below. Please do participate!!!

From: ICANN News Alert [mailto:communications@icann.org] Sent: Wednesday, 26 August 2009 04:28 To: ceo(a)auda.org.au Subject: ICANN News Alert -- Special Public Comment: Discuss Solutions to Your Biggest ICANN Problems <http://www.icann.org/> ICANN News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-25aug09-en.htm _____ Special Public Comment: Discuss Solutions to Your Biggest ICANN Problems 25 August 2009 A radically different public comment period opened today for 30 days to allow community discussion of a summary document of the joint AC and SO meeting in Sydney. The comment period is an experiment in online collaboration and uses Jive software to allow simple interaction and discussion between community members on particular topics. The hope is to increase the speed and effectiveness of consensus-building while allowing for broader, simpler participation in ICANN's processes. You will need to register with the site to post comments, responses and blog posts as well as rate other's comments and vote in polls. But we have included a traditional email-only input method as well. The AC/SO Summary is a one-page summary of the joint meeting of ICANN's Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees in Sydney. That meeting drew out six main issues as well as seven suggested solutions to fix those issues. The online comment space will therefore restrict itself to discussion of those issues and their related solutions. There is also a discussion space for people to comment on the software itself. The top two issues identified by the community in Sydney were frustration and exhaustion at the huge volume of work, and the lack of visibility of the impact of volunteer input on decision-making. The top three suggested solutions were: prioritization of the workload; better scoping of issues at the start of policy processes; and improving accessibility to issues by providing summaries. Now we need you as the community to flesh out these broad points into specific ideas and suggestions. The discussion space will be shut down after 30 days as the experiment closes and a report will then be written covering what happened as well as the feasibility of using Jive or similar software for future community discussions. So if you want to make your voice heard not only about how ICANN can improve but the ways in which those improvement discussions are held, then please login on today and start interacting. The comment period will end 24 September 2009. You can log-on to the collaborative space at: https://jive.dev.icann.org/community/acso. If you would prefer to email in your comments, please send them to acso-discussion(a)icann.org.

Dear all, Below and attached are some preparatory documents for the Council call on Monday, 24th August. The agenda is available at http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/agenda-council-24aug09.pdf To agenda point: 2. Confirmation of Approval of Minutes and Actions from Council call 9th June 2009 and 24th June 2009 The minutes from 9th June are available at http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/minutes-council-09jun09.pdf The minutes from the 24th June are in attachment nr 1. The compiled actions from the last two calls are following: Action 41-01 The ccNSO Secretariat to make a call for volunteers to the ccNSO Delegation and Redelegation Working Group.

Action 42-06 Jian Zhang to send out a note to the Council on the setup of the Joint GNSO/ccNSO IDN Working Group. Action 42-07 Ron Sherwood to forward his update in written form to the Council. 3. Approval of timeline for ccNSO Council nominations + appointment of Election Manager Please, find the suggested timeline in attachment nr 2. 4.5 Meeting Programme Working Group Please, find the first draft agenda for the Seoul meeting in attachment nr 3 (the highlighted parts are yet to be confirmed). 4.6 Joint ccNSO/GNSO IDN Working Group Please, find the suggested JIG WG Charter in attachment nr 4 6. Approval of .cc ccNSO membership application .cc's membership application is available at http://ccnso.icann.org/applications/archive/msg00270.html 7. Approval of changed text in ccNSO Travel Guidelines The ccNSO Travel Guidelines are available at http://ccnso.icann.org/about/ccnso-travel-funding-04nov08.pdf The part which needs to be changed in order to reflect ICANN's new timing requirements on submitting the names of the funded travellers is following: Currently, the text says: Timing The Committee must reach a decision on who to fund 74 days in advance of the following ICANN meeting. Please, note that this implies an initial draft agenda for the upcoming ICANN meeting should be determined more then 74 days in adavance of the upcoming meeting, to enable the use of this facility by non-councillors. The call for travel funding applications must therefore start two weeks before the foregoing ICANN meeting and end one week after. The new suggested text says: Timing The Committee must reach a decision on who to fund 100 days in advance of the following ICANN meeting. The call for travel funding applications must therefore start two weeks before the foregoing ICANN meeting and end one week after. Kind regards, Gabi
