Special Public Comment: Discuss Solutions to Your Biggest
ICANN Problems
25
August 2009
A radically different public
comment period opened today for 30 days to allow community discussion of a
summary document of the joint AC and SO meeting in Sydney.
The comment period is an
experiment in online collaboration and uses Jive software to allow simple
interaction and discussion between community members on particular topics. The
hope is to increase the speed and effectiveness of consensus-building while
allowing for broader, simpler participation in ICANN's processes.
You will need to register
with the site to post comments, responses and blog posts as well as rate
other's comments and vote in polls. But we have included a traditional
email-only input method as well.
The AC/SO Summary is a
one-page summary of the joint meeting of ICANN's Supporting Organizations and
Advisory Committees in Sydney. That meeting drew out six main issues as well as
seven suggested solutions to fix those issues. The online comment space will
therefore restrict itself to discussion of those issues and their related
solutions. There is also a discussion space for people to comment on the
software itself.
The top two issues identified
by the community in Sydney were frustration and exhaustion at the huge volume
of work, and the lack of visibility of the impact of volunteer input on
decision-making.
The top three suggested
solutions were: prioritization of the workload; better scoping of issues at the
start of policy processes; and improving accessibility to issues by providing
summaries.
Now we need you as the
community to flesh out these broad points into specific ideas and suggestions.
The discussion space will be
shut down after 30 days as the experiment closes and a report will then be
written covering what happened as well as the feasibility of using Jive or
similar software for future community discussions.
So if you want to make your
voice heard not only about how ICANN can improve but the ways in which those
improvement discussions are held, then please login on today and start
interacting. The comment period will end 24 September 2009.
You can log-on to the
collaborative space at: https://jive.dev.icann.org/community/acso.
If you would prefer to email
in your comments, please send them to acso-discussion@icann.org.
