FW: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] Request concerning ICANN Organization Senior Executives’ Q&A with the Community at ICANN64 and Other Updates
by Katrina Sataki Feb. 28, 2019

Feb. 28, 2019

Dear Colleagues, Here is some more detailed information about the Q&A session with ICANN Org Senior Executives. As I mentioned during the recent Council call, one of the questions we could ask is: “The Strategic and Operational plans suggest that each Department within ICANN Org have their own strategy and plans, as well as their own approach to deal with risks and opportunities. How do ICANN Executives ensure that Departments collaborate to execute the common strategy, and avoid overlap? Further, how do ICANN’s Senior Executives ensure that the global risks and opportunities to ICANN are taken into account by each Department? “ Please feel free to edit this question/suggest other questions by 28 February! Thank you! Kind regards, ]{atrina From: So-ac-sg-cleaders [mailto:so-ac-sg-cleaders-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of David Olive Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2019 1:39 AM To: so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org Subject: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] Request concerning ICANN Organization Senior Executives’ Q&A with the Community at ICANN64 and Other Updates Dear Community Leaders: 1. Request concerning ICANN Organization Senior Executives’ Q&A with the Community at ICANN64 For ICANN64 in Kobe, you will see from the latest block schedule circulated by Tanzanica that a 1-hour community session with ICANN org’s senior executives has been scheduled for Thursday 14 March, from 14.45-15.45 local time. This session will take place immediately after the ICANN Board session on Governance (from 13.30-14.45) and is intended to be an interactive discussion during which ICANN org’s senior executives will respond to community concerns and questions. On behalf of ICANN org’s executive team, I would like to invite you and your respective community groups to each submit 1-2 questions or topics that you would like to see addressed either by a specific executive or by the whole executive team. To facilitate your planning, you may wish to review the latest ICANN org executive team report to the Board from January 2019: <https://www.icann.org/uploads/board_report/attachment/85/ICANN_Org_Executiv…> https://www.icann.org/uploads/board_report/attachment/85/ICANN_Org_Executiv…. We will be grateful if you can submit your questions or topics by Monday 4 March 2019 to my colleague Maria Otanes ( <mailto:maria.otanes@icann.org> maria.otanes(a)icann.org) 2. Other Updates I understand that, in the run-up to ICANN64, you will each have received a number of requests from various parts of ICANN org as well as the ICANN Board. At previous SOAC Community Leadership meetings, we have also discussed the responsibilities and challenges that you face in managing the flow of requests and information. I am therefore pleased to let you know that we hope to launch the first issue of the ICANN Community Leadership Digest in time for the Kobe meeting. This will take the form of a regular email digest that will contain all requests, public comment opportunities and other updates from ICANN org. We hope that this will greatly facilitate your ability to manage the information flow and communications with ICANN org and the Board. In the meantime, please allow me to remind you of the various deadlines and pending requests for the upcoming Kobe meeting: * Questions for the Board for ICANN64: due 18 February (see <https://mm.icann.org/mailman/private/so-ac-sg-cleaders/2019-February/000411…> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/private/so-ac-sg-cleaders/2019-February/000411…) * Community representatives for the ICANN64 Newcomers Sessions: due 22 February (see <https://mm.icann.org/mailman/private/so-ac-sg-cleaders/2019-February/000412…> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/private/so-ac-sg-cleaders/2019-February/000412…) * Request from the Second Security, Stability & Resiliency Review Team (SSR2): <https://mm.icann.org/mailman/private/so-ac-sg-cleaders/2019-February/000414…> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/private/so-ac-sg-cleaders/2019-February/000414… * Request from the Technical Study Group (TSG): <https://mm.icann.org/mailman/private/so-ac-sg-cleaders/2019-February/000415…> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/private/so-ac-sg-cleaders/2019-February/000415… Last but not least, I hope that your community groups will find the new ICANN Pre-Meeting Prep Week helpful in preparing for ICANN64.

Get ready for the workshop on Sunday, 10 March, now!
by Katrina Sataki Feb. 28, 2019

Feb. 28, 2019

Dear Colleagues, Time is flying... And so will you very soon. In slightly more than a week, on Sunday, 10 March, at 9 am local time, we will meet for our workshop. Our agenda is pretty packet; therefore, please do not be late! As you know, during our first face-to-face meeting of the year, we need to decide how to share the workload to accomplish everything we need to do. Some discussions last year showed that sometimes Councillors do not volunteer to fill certain positions because they fear they would not know what to do in those roles. One of the best strategies to learn something is to do. Therefore, to eliminate at least some of the fears, this time we will run two hands-on exercises. To get comfortable, we will start with introductions. For this part, please try to remember when did you join the ccNSO and think about "hopes and fears" with respect to your current role as a Councillor. This does not have to be a dead serious exercise! After the intro part, I will briefly go through the list of all the Roles and Responsibilities (see attached). Next on our agenda - Triage Simulation Exercise. We will break into 4-5 groups. Each group will discuss a couple of requests that the ccNSO has received in the past, i.e. will simulate Triage Committee members who usually do the evaluation for us. In the attachment you will find three old cases (dates are removed to keep the template simpler). Please read and think about these requests beforehand. The idea of the exercise is to 1) discuss the requests, 2) develop criteria to evaluate the importance of the issue in question for the ccTLD community, and 3) discuss how to handle the case. When ready, each group will present their criteria and suggestions. Those criteria will be used by the Triage Committee and the Secretariat for evaluation of future requests. After a short break we will have another hands-on exercise: we will simulate the Rejection Action process. Each workshop participant will get a randomly assigned role to play during the process. In preparation for this exercise, we developed a simplified summary (see attached) of the enormously complex RA process. Please review it to refresh your memory. I will say no more at this point! I hope that by the end of the workshop you will be fighting for the opportunity to be the Chair, Vice-chairs, Rejection Action Petition Manager, RA Petition Review Committee, Triage Committee, etc. We might even need to draw lots :) Thanks a lot to David Kolb who agreed to facilitate our discussions (and avoid bloodshed)! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask now or save them until the workshop. In case I do not write any more emails: have a safe trip to Kobe and see you soon there! Kind regards, ]{atrina

Based on the community leaders’ planning calls to date, there seems to be general agreement that these two topics ought to be combined into a single session that will take the place of a previous proposal to focus on innovation in TLDs. As we approach the final run-up to ICANN64, I hope that this email will serve to kick off further discussions as to the objectives, scope and format of this combined session. I have cc’d Cyrus Namazi – ICANN org’s designated senior executive for this topic – as well as Sarmad Hussain, who leads ICANN org’s IDN program, so that we can better assist you with developing and running a successful session. Members of the Policy Team (including me and Carlos Reyes) will also be available to assist you with coordination, logistics, programming and overall management of the session. As such, we will need the following information at your earliest convenience: * A session description (for posting on the public schedule and meeting website) – this is the most urgently needed item at this point so even a placeholder description that can provide basic information to attendees looking at the meeting schedule will be fine; and * Your preferred format and room setup (e.g. will it be run as a panel with a moderator; how many speakers/panelists and who they are; how you wish to handle audience interaction and Q&A etc.). We hope this email is helpful and look forward to your further discussions. Thank you all! Best regards, Mary

Risk Mitigation Process under Fast Track Process
by Bart Boswinkel Feb. 25, 2019

Feb. 25, 2019

Dear all, One of the topics introduced on the last Council call was on the work of the joint ccNSO-SSAC joint working party regarding the Guideline for the Risk Mitigation Process, as part of the Fast Track Implementation Plan. As said on call the SSAC was asked whether they had any objection to the way forward as proposed by the working party and accordingly SSAC has no objection to the approach proposed. Please note this is NOT about changing the Fast Track Implementation Plan. The ICANN Board has already adopted the changes the joint ccNSO -SSAC working party has proposed in 2017. To recap, the working party proposes: the amended Guideline (included) A test of the Guideline with the only case pending ( .EU in Greek), document included Recommending ICANN (Board, or the Organisation, whomever is mandated) to take a final decision (see included draft cover letter) Expression of support of proposed approach by ccNSO Council and non-objection by SSAC (note the SSAC position was framed this way top overcome procedural issues), reflected in the draft cover letter, You are now asked to express whether you support, abstain of have objection to the approach proposed by the joint working party. Please respond to the list by 27 February 2019, 17.00 UTC (preferably earlier). Kind regards, Bart
