Dear Colleagues, As I am sure you are aware, the CCWG is conducting face to face meetings today and tomorrow in Paris (https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=53778863 ). They have a significant amount of work to get through and appear to have tried to streamline some of it by modifying a standard process. One of our representatives, Dr. Eberhard Lisse, has raised an objection to this process modification at the meeting. He also requested that I share is concerns with the Council. Please see his concerns in the email below. Best regards, Byron -----Original Message----- From: Dr Eberhard W Lisse [mailto:el@lisse.NA] Sent: July 17, 2015 3:23 AM To: Byron Holland <byron.holland@cira.ca> Cc: Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel@icann.org>; Katrina Sataki <katrina@nic.lv>; Keith NZ <keith@internetnz.net.nz>; Lisse Eberhard <directors@omadhina.net>; accountability-cross-community@icann.org Subject: Report to Council in terms of CCWG Charter Byron, please bring the below to the attention of Council members, as I can not post to the Council List In terms of the Charter I wish request an opportunity to discuss with the Chair of the chartering organization or your designated representatives that the Co-Chairs of the CCWG Accountability have decided to declare the Face to Face Meeting here in Paris TWO meetings, in order to be able to read issues on which there is consensus in the room, twice. I have raised in the room (and had on the mailing list while in transit) because 1) it was sprung on us by the Co-Chairs late, while most attending where in fact in transit instead of being decided by the members in two readings (well) in advance; and 2) it is an unheard of attempt at circumventing the two reading rule; and 3) the call for this F2F was short notice when many members already had made other arrangements, such as vacation; some of them now being represented by individuals not having previously participated in the CCWG, I for one do not even know the ccNSO alternate Maarten Simon. There are however at least 23 members and/or alternates present in the room as I write this. I objected against it for the record, as the sole objector. greetings, el
