3) Stewardship Transition and Accountability Processes
General observations
CCWG Proposal to be send to chartering organisations 18 February.
CWG-Stewardship requirements are most likely met. CWG will inform Chartering organisations of their findings.
Costs associated with process: Byron and other chairs SO/AC on call organised by ICANN (board and staff)
Costs have escalated. Initial budget 7 million (very loose estimate). Currently at 15 milliion, Expectation is that once dust has settled it will be at USD 25 million.
Little understanding. Cost discussion will be an issue in Marrakesh. Suggestion to include item in SOP WG agenda .
3.1 CWG Stewardship
Last week ISTACC call (coordinating group of ccNSO appointed members ICG, CWG and CCWG)
Focus of the call aound budget and think about implementation, what will need to happen in short term. Final design team aound SLE. Challanges around getting data for transition.
Independent consultant. ICANN is working on it. Some data points are difficult to collect, and some are sensitive. Work on SLE is not yet complete CWG itself has picked up on this issue
This topic wil be covered in Marrakesh on Wednesday afternoon.
3.2 Update CCWG Accountability
Reiteration of publication date. Discussion on WS 1 proposals will be topic Tuesday and Wednesday afternoo
ICANN has asked for decision on Tuesday 8 March. Byron has pushed back. ccNSO not able to provide a decision on Tuesday and will stick to original scheme.
Short-circuiting may cause more issues then are resolved by an early decision. Implies decision by Council on Wednesday afternoon .
3.3 Update ICG, if any (Keith)
(quoted from chat:) ICG will be meeting on 1 March, to consider the inputs from CWG and CCWG on Accountability and I’m hopeful ICG will be able to deliver the full and final plan (with ccNSO approval) to ICANN Board at Marakesh. There is no formal meeting at ICANN of the ICG, but the ICG will be reporting in to the ICANN community on the Monday at Marrakesh.
3.4 ccNSO decision-making process
Significant discussion over time, and fair amount of effort to keep community and Council informed. Significant time dedicated during meetings on the CCWG.
Council meetings at regular times, including two special Council meetings. The decision-making process will be very similar to decision making on CWG-Stewardship Proposal
4) Council Updates
4.1 Chair Update
-
ISTACC call, notes are avaialble.
-
Call organised by ICANN Board on escalating costs CCWG, in particular Cherine Chalaby vocal. Interesting: due to the size of overrun, Board needs to approve. Unclear/lack of clarity when Board was aware of total amount. Even between Board and Staff unclarity when and how
it was shared. Secondly: Not clear and part of discussion: Who is responsible and how costs incurred by WG are managed, get approved and are allocated. It appears ICANN wants to push these responsibilities to SO/ACs and WG chairs. Discussion around project management, costs. Having the discussion is healthy. Uncluear is how discussion is going to play out.
-
Stakeholder engagement. how to include new stakeholders, volunteer burn-out as driving force.
