Councillors and their time zones
by Katrina Sataki March 13, 2020

March 13, 2020

Dear Councillors, The first time we raised the question about possibilities to rotate calls was in 2016. At the time, we created a table with all the time zones of our Councillors and this table has been periodically updated ever since (it will be updated after ICANN67). The ccNSO Council is a collegial body. We all need to be able to participate and our collegiality is expressed in our quorum rule – at least 10 Councillors, and one Councillor from every region. Therefore, when we started looking for possible times, we came up with several criteria to identify hours we should avoid as much as possible because people need to rest as majority of us have a day-time job: 1) 23:00-4:00 – red zone, avoid 2) 18:00-22:00 and 5:00-7:00 – yellow zone, avoid as much as possible 3) 8:00-17:30 – green zone. When we looked at the table (see below), we tried to identify slots that would impact the least number of Councillors. For example, if we need to choose a slot that is in red zone for 6 Councillors or for 1 Councillor, we go for the second option. And then try to find another slot that would be in a red zone for the least number of Councillors but would work for that one Councillor who was impacted by the first slot. With two extremes – Guatemala and New Zealand – slots at 12:00 UTC and 18:00 UTC were the most optimal ones. As Debbie once put it (speaking about herself and Alejandra): “It’s the price we have to pay for living in Paradise” If there are other suggestions for criteria, please do not hesitate to share them. On the other hand, as Jordan noted, having 3 successive meeting at the same time is a one-sided burden (my apologies for that!), and we definitely need to make sure this does not happen. Kind regards, ]{atrina

Bart: 1 council member per region, 1 NomCom appointed Councillor. To be added to this overview for a structural basis. Their work is done, latest in April. 10. Update liaisons a. Update ALAC Liaison (written update) b. Update GNSO Liaison (written update) 11. Meetings a. Process for meeting cancellation. ICANN67: all sessions cancelled. Too little time to convert our planned sessions into something that could work during the Virtual Community Forum. Katrina participated in the public forum and some other sessions. Talked to others as well. Value of the virtual meeting depends on the time and effort put into preparing the virtual sessions. Cannot be run the same way as the face to face meetings. E.g. during the public forum, reading from a paper is even more challenging when the meeting is remote only. Not clear yet what will happen to ICANN68. We need to think about having a Virtual Policy Forum. Peter Van Roste (CENTR): attended a few of the larger ICANN67 sessions. They get the basics done. Give a forum for people to speak up. ALAC session had a quiz. ICANN succeeded in making this experience useful. Deserve congratulations from the community, to do this in a short amount of time. Observation that there is still a bit on the agenda that are simple downloads of info. E.g. working group updates, committee, registries. Would it make sense to make those better? Have an abbreviated version of the members meeting? Did we miss an opportunity? Alejandra: Sounds easy to say to move from f2f to remote. MPC tries to improve the engagement and interaction within the room. It was ambitious to say, we move forward anyway with a reduced schedule. Participants from all over the world. Time was too short to convert to a virtual-only format. Peter VR: Just an observation. We often find ourselves in a deadlock. People need to be in the room for it to be interactive. Simple download of info sessions can be moved to a different platform Katrina: Comments regarding the process itself? Which sessions are a must-have? Discussion with Council, community, WG/C chairs? How can we be more prepared to act in a similar situation in the future? Peter: CENTR will work with more than 2 categories. Need to have / those that are not impacted quality-wise by having them remotely. Giovanni:I believe we followed the right process for the ccNSO meeting when it comes with dealing with this kind of contingencies . Demi and Laura agree. I think we are mixing the meeting content with the process to rescheduling/postponing/moving a meeting to a virtual environment. We should focus on the process. the rest is for the meeting programming committee to decide Pablo:Virtual meetings when we need to make a decision and separation with knowledge transfer. Katrina:MPC to look into how they can be better prepared for similar scenarios in the future. Alejandra:We had a great agenda. Can be adjusted to a virtual meeting if needed. Maybe we should ask the MPC to consider preparing an agenda for a virtual meeting, and let possible presenters know this is likely to happen. Jordan agrees Katrina: Consider not having a 2-day ccNSO members meeting Ajay Data: UASG sessions at ICANN67 were held virtually. Shorter face to face meeting, longer virtual meeting? b. Next Council Meetings · 16 April 2020 – 12:00 UTC. NEW time: 18 UTC · 21 May 2020 – 18:00 UTC · June @ICANN68 · 20 August 2020 – 12:00 UTC · 17 September 2020 – 18:00 UTC · October @ICANN69 · 19 November 2020 – 12:00 UTC · 17 December 2020 – 18:00 UTC 12. AOB Stephen: Rethink the meeting schedule. Rotate between noon and 18 UTC. consider scheduling the meeting at a 6h rotation Katrina: there is a table with the timezones for all councillors. We chose those meetings, to have the least impact on the councillors. To ensure we meet the quorum requirements. 00UTC has huge impact on both african and european councillors. Jordan: this is the 3rd meeting in a row at 12 utc. Everyone should suffer sometimes. Katrina: proposes to re-send the table to the mailing list and have a discussion online. April meeting will be held at 18 UTC, which is 3 am for Young-eum Pablo: LACTLD celebrated a workshop on illegal content on the internet. 5&6 March in Cancun, fantastic event. Encourages other ROs to engage in similar events 13. Thank you and Welcome Thank you to Hiro for his 16 years of service on the ccNSO Council. His seat will be taken by Ai-Chin: welcome on board! Young-eum: appreciation to Hiro. Sorry that we cannot give him a proper thanks in person. Hiro: deep thanks, thank you for the nice words. Memories since the launch in 2004. ccNSO grew in terms of members, and in terms of content. Thanks to colleagues, current and past. 2 reasons for not running another term: for 6 years, he was looking for new blood. 2 candidates from AP region stepped forward, glad to have Ai-Chin as a capable replacement onboard. JPRS runs a root server and .jp. Hiro transferred from ccTLD manager to root server operator role. (SSAC). Kindly keep inviting me to your parties! Maria (Ria) leaves the ccNSO Secretariat, but will remain with ICANN org. Thanks to Ria. Claudia will join the ccNSO team and welcome Claudia. 14. Closure Thank you all. This call was rather formal.
