CIP-CCG
by Sean Copeland Oct. 30, 2024

Oct. 30, 2024

Dear fellow council members, I've attached a presentation related to the CIP-CCG cross-community group. Please review it and respond with any questions or comments. I believe it will be on our agenda for Thursday. The ccNSO has two voices, and Irina, in her role, has been invited to provide her valuable insights. Chris is also a part of this group and, while not directly asked to provide commentary, is well-positioned to offer additional insight. For background, it is essential to know that moving from an external group conducting interviews and making recommendations to one adopting continuous improvement is, at its heart, a culture shift. This means creating and implementing mechanisms to facilitate feedback, flexibility, and ease of adoption. There is a natural tendency in an organization to be reluctant to change and embrace new ideas. While this may not be true within the ccNSO, other groups' responses still need to be seen. Continuous improvement exercises have shown that this approach relies heavily on active and consistent engagement within the community. It is critical to use tools that ensure unbiased feedback, especially from new members who may not feel they have a voice. It's important to note that the degree of ‘standardization' that ICANN Org may seek could pose challenges and lead to inconsistency across the broader community. A 'light-touch' approach is advocated from the perspective of the ccNSO. Similarly, there could be an opportunity for individuals from different communities to facilitate, resulting in cross-learning. This could be a powerful way to gain insights into significant issues in other communities. When reviewing the slide show, please remember that “continuous” can take on multiple meanings, including the allocation of time, people, and potentially financial resources to be successful. Regarding the ccNSO, engagement with members, including those who may have only been seen at one event and are not actively participating in workgroups, has been positive. Communication is crucial to ensuring that continuous improvement is effectively utilized. Despite the current fiscal issues ICANN is experiencing, teaching facilitation along with leadership could significantly reduce costs compared to hiring an external party for a top-down review. This approach requires careful planning, clear communication, strong leadership, and a commitment to a new culture. The GRC is confident in the ccNOS's culture to address these areas. A light hand from Org will benefit the broader community and the ccNSO. That said, the effort should be fully supported. Should the council wish to present this slide show to the broader ccNSO community, a webinar can be organized; however, it may be premature. Please let Irina or me know if you have any questions or concerns. Respectfully,

Fwd: [soac-chairs] Formation of WSIS+20 Discussion Group (action item from SOAC Chairs Roundtable on 15 August)
by Alejandra Reynoso Barral Sept. 2, 2024

Sept. 2, 2024

Dear Councillors Please find below the WSIS+20 Discussion Group description. After consulting the Council members who participated in the various calls may I propose that we select Jordan & Peter as members, with Biyi as alternate? Best regards, Alejandra ******************************************* Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. Sing like nobody's listening. And live like it's Heaven on Earth. ******************************************* ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Mary Wong via soac-chairs <soac-chairs(a)icann.org> Date: Thu, Aug 22, 2024 at 11:05 PM Subject: [soac-chairs] Formation of WSIS+20 Discussion Group (action item from SOAC Chairs Roundtable on 15 August) To: SOAC-CHAIRS(a)ICANN.ORG <SOAC-CHAIRS(a)icann.org> Dear SOAC Chairs, As an action item from the discussion under Any Other Business during the Roundtable on 15 August, ICANN org is pleased to convene the WSIS+20 Discussion Group. The idea for a discussion group emerged after an exchange of letters between the ccNSO and the ICANN organization (15 July <https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/reynoso-to-coste…> and 25 July <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/costerton-to-reynoso-2…>).The discussion group will be informal (i.e., no charter) and lightweight (i.e., limited membership) to foster trusted collaboration and efficient coordination. Please refer to the information below for more details. My colleague Carlos Reyes will facilitate the discussion group with the subject matter expertise of our Government and IGO Engagement team. Please email carlos.reyes(a)icann.org with the name(s) and email addresses of the two participants from your Supporting Organization or Advisory Committee who will be joining the discussion group. If we may, we would like to ask for your responses by *Friday 5 September* at the latest. With thanks to Alejandra and the ccNSO, we hope this new endeavor benefits both the ICANN and technical communities in the evolving global Internet governance landscape. Cheers, Mary _____________________________ *WSIS+20 Discussion Group * *Purpose* The WSIS+20 Discussion Group will serve as a conduit for the ICANN organization and the ICANN community to discuss and coordinate approaches to explain, promote, and defend the multistakeholder model of Internet governance in the context of the WSIS+20 review process. The discussion group will provide a platform for information exchange and shared understanding between the ICANN organization and ICANN community on matters related to the WSIS+20 review process. This may include the development of consistent messaging for use with stakeholders of the WSIS+20 review process to bolster the credibility of the technical community and ensure its successful, continued engagement in the evolving global Internet governance landscape. *Scope* The discussion group is not a policy development or advisory group within the ICANN community or a chartered cross-community working group. The discussion group will not define the strategy of the ICANN Board or ICANN organization. The discussion group will not develop deliverables such as recommendations, though its members are encouraged to share suggestions, best practices, and other informational resources to their appointing ICANN community groups. The discussion group is separate from the WSIS+20 Outreach Network, which is a broader effort (as outlined in its goals <https://www.icann.org/en/government-engagement/wsis20-outreach-network>) beyond the ICANN community that the ICANN organization currently facilitates. *Membership* ICANN community participation in the discussion group is optional. Each Supporting Organization and Advisory Committee may designate up to two participants. Discussion group participants should be willing to participate and contribute their knowledge about the WSIS+20 review process. Discussion group participants will be members in their individual capacity and not representatives of their appointing ICANN community group. *ICANN’s Role* The ICANN organization will convene the discussion group and will invite participation from the ICANN community. In addition to facilitating the discussion group, the ICANN organization will have a distinct role in that it will share its thinking and analysis to inform the approaches that the ICANN community and the technical community may consider in the context of the WSIS+20 review process. *Support* In addition to its distinct role as a participant, the ICANN organization will provide subject matter experts and operational support to the discussion group. Operational support may include a mailing list, virtual meetings, and a workspace (e.g., GoogleDrive or Atlassian Confluence wiki), as determined by the participants. There are no budgetary resources or travel support for the discussion group, which will cease to exist at the conclusion of the WSIS+20 review process. _______________________________________________ soac-chairs mailing list -- soac-chairs(a)icann.org To unsubscribe send an email to soac-chairs-leave(a)icann.org _______________________________________________ By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy (https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy) and the website Terms of Service (https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos) You can visit the Mailman link above to change your membership status or configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on.
