Marika Konings:@Olga, no we cannot hear you Marika Konings:Have you joined by telephone or via Adobe Connect? Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:adobe but I have a mic which does not work, will change computers no worries Michelle DeSmyter:sounds good Michelle DeSmyter:please let me know if you need a dial out from the operator, we can certainly do that as well Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:thanks will try with the other computer Julf Helsingius:Good afternoon. Sounds like someone has mic on... Ahmed Bakht Masood:Hi every one Asha Hemrajani:Good evening Becky Burr:Hello all Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina 2:someone is typing.... Evan Leibovitch:yes Dietmar Stefitz:Hi to all Michael Flemming:Is there sound? Mei Lin Fung:I could not access the charter questions - CCWG input on charter questions – see https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_documen... Michael Flemming:Volume very low elliot noss:australia 5 numbers, UK 5 numbers, france 3 numbers, canada 0. the 51st state! Julf Helsingius:volume fine here Michael Flemming:My volume was low. Michael Flemming:Sorry Marika Konings:@Mei - the document was also circulated in Word format, so please feel free to add your input to that version. Asha Hemrajani:I cannot hear anything Evan Leibovitch:audio fine here Julf Helsingius:fine here too Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina 2:audio ok here Asha Hemrajani:Ok audio back for me Manal Ismail:Can't hear anything, is it only me? Michelle DeSmyter:Manal, I will private message you Tony Harris:Meetings should not coincide with GNSO Council Meetinga Stephanie Perrin:+1 Tony John Levine:People in Copenhagen will talk about this whether or not there is an official meeting. John Levine:So we might as well get a room with microphones so people can tell what we're talking about. Waudo:Can we coincide the (copenhagen) f2f with te=he normal fortnightly meeting - if there is remote facilities available John Levine:Yes, there was a doogle poll Marika Konings:The poll is available here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icannorg.beta.doodle.co... ) Evan Leibovitch:But let's not kid ourselves.... regardless of whether the meetings at ICANN events are official or social, Evan Leibovitch:those who cannot be there are compromised. Marika Konings:please note that for any official meetings, remote participation facilities are available. Evan Leibovitch:For the social events too? Marika Konings:and as always, any notes / action items will be communicated on the mailing list allowing for everyone to weigh in (similar to when someone may miss a 'normal' meeting) Marika Konings:@Evan - unless someone who is at the bar dials you in and buys you a remote drink, I'm afraid not ;-) Julf Helsingius:We do need that internet remote drink protocol Marika Konings:As the ICANN meeting in Johannesburg is the policy forum and only 4 days, it may not be possible to schedule a meeting for this CCWG, but it will depend on the priorities that SO/ACs identify for that meeting. Waudo:is there budget for external expertise? vanda:sorry delay, problems with internet. ready now I hope Waudo:can teh presentatio be done remotely? Marika Konings:@Waudo - the idea is that the CCWG would identify what resources, if any, are needed as part of the development of the work plan so it can then be determined what funds may be needed (and whether those can be found in the current budget allocation or whether a specific request needs to be made) matthew shears:Given experience in CCWG Accountability its essential to be absolutely clear about what we want from external advisors - otherwise costs mount rapidly matthew shears:has there been any attempt to identify best practices out there - examples we may be able to look to? matthew shears:apologies if this has already been done elliot noss:+1 to that jonathan Nadira ALARAJ:@elliot, does the ccTLD experince documented? elliot noss:.ca! elliot noss:forgotten not only with toll-frees, but also with cc experience :-) Nadira ALARAJ:Aha thanks Samantha Eisner:Thanks Elliot. With the revisions made to the Mission through the CCWG-Accountability, we now have a bit of a different way that we discuss the mission. We can look at the CCWG-Accountability materials and see if there is some helpful language in there to help frame the mission constraints as the group is kicking off and before a fuller conversation elliot noss:and I just referenced it! haha elliot noss:@samantha, thanks. interesting note Alan Greenberg:I have no idea of magnitude of ccTLD activities in this area, but suspect it might be 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller, at least on an annual or multi-year basis. elliot noss:@alan, it is. you are correct Tony Harris:One essential consideration is how the funded inititiatives are to be evaluated Marika Konings:The presentations provided by some ccTLDs during a previous workshop can be found here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_-... Marika Konings:I will also post these on the WG wiki Ahmed Bakht Masood:Thanks Marika Nadira ALARAJ:Thanks Marika elliot noss:handling costs? I would love to hear more Alan Greenberg:@Tony, yes, evaluation is a very critical component. Necessary and yet must not end up being a major use of the funds. Tony Harris:The European Commission had a funding round 11 years ago known as @lis and that might serve as a matrix Nadira ALARAJ:That would good to invite expertise to the group on topic basis Julf Helsingius:Erika Mann has experience with the Gates Foundation, I think. My experience with them is indirect. Mei Lin Fung:+1 Alan Greenberg Becky Burr:There are folks who know how to do this on a "one shot" basis. The broadband initiative at the beginning of the Obama administration as part of the economic recovery act is a good example. Becky Burr:The woman who ran that grant program has now retired but would likely be willing to share her experience Evan Leibovitch:I have direct experience with the World Bank's acting as an evaluaton mechanism to implement funding program criteria on behalf of foundations. Nasrat Khalid:My mic seems to be having issues. Apologies about that. Mei Lin Fung:Thank you Marika Alan Greenberg:To put this in perspective, the Gates foundation has assets in the order of $37b and annually gives out several billion. Nasrat Khalid:I just wanted to know if we have looked in to the development sector. The likes of the World Bank (My employer) but smaller scale organisations do work in the development sector that disburse such amount of funds on a regular basis. Evan Leibovitch:Nasrat, the WB (maybe different sections) has engaged in this themselves. Waudo:it seems a thin line between working on teh "mechanism"and considering the actual recipients Asha Hemrajani:Perhaps best to look for external experts/advice first from sectors or organizations who are doling out funds in the same ballpark as our fund (~$200 to $300 million) Alan Greenberg:@Asha, yes, and preferably in technology area. Asha Hemrajani:Yes couldn't agree more Alan Becky Burr:I beg to differ. ICANN's Mission is enumerated, and anything not enumaterated is outside the Mission Asha Hemrajani:+1 Becky elliot noss:could anyone who knows who is speaking from phone not chat please put a 1-line statement in chat? elliot noss:ie. "speaking is fred flintstone from the gates foundation" Julf Helsingius:I agree with Becky Marika Konings:@Elliot - speaking before was Mark Grauw from .NL Marika Konings:sorry, Marc Gauw elliot noss:@marika thanks! on cell it can be tough sometimes and when they are not on adobe connect we can't look on our own Mei Lin Fung:+1 agree with Jonathan's proposal that if CC's want to engage, they send a participant Dietmar Stefitz:+1 Marika Konings:so far everyone that has responded to the poll has indicated that they are able to participate in person or remotely Marika Konings:yes, correct, that is foreseen :-) Alan Greenberg:Hopefully Sam is available on 2nd March. Marika Konings:To activate your microphone, please click the telephone sign at the top of the AC pod Mei Lin Fung:mic not working Marika Konings:or if we can get you a dial-out, please let us know. Mei Lin Fung:I will post my comment in chat here Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina 2:agrree with Alan! Stephanie Perrin:+ 1 Alan. Peter Vergote (ccNSO):+1 Alan Mei Lin Fung:I'm with the People Centered Internet and vice chair for Internet inclusion at IEEE - in addition to the auction proceeds, may we consider tracking mechanisms to understand if the money has achieved the outcomes desired? T use the internet in being a model for competent use of funds for the purpose agreed to - and to phase fund outlays based on achievements in prior phases Mei Lin Fung:This could be a great contribution by being a model for tracking in Internet time, and getting input from those who are supposed to be the beneficiaries by video and crowdsource feedback matthew shears:+ 1 - typically those seeking fundng and successfu have toi account for how they used those funds Julf Helsingius:I echo Mei Lin Fungs concern about tracking and following up on results Mei Lin Fung:We want to go beyond typical - we are ICANN - we made possible the Internet - should we not steward the use of the Internet for all? Asha Hemrajani:All please note that we we have not budgeted for f2f meetings for this group at all in FY18 budget matthew shears:that unfortunate Marika Konings:Special budget requests are due by Friday - but these need to come from an SO/AC Dietmar Stefitz:I can set you up a Samll Conference like this for a ver Low Cost ! Stephanie Perrin:Governments have lots of experience in metrics regarding dispersal of funds. There are best practice models available; we should use them. Jon Nevett:Should a f2f of this group be funded from FY18 budget or from the auction proceeds? Mei Lin Fung:The Singapore Government Investment Corp has highly effective tracking Asha Hemrajani:Indeed Mei Lin :-) Dietmar Stefitz:These fudns can even come from teh Auction proceeds by itself, as did teh fees for other things Marika Konings:Maybe the CCWG should first need to consider its timeline and expected milestones to determine whether a F2F is even needed to deliber on those. Note that most ICANN WGs do all their work through weekly / bi-weekly meetings. Alan Greenberg:I think that is a discussion we could have, and have quickly. It would be good to hav from staff what the costs of a F@F meeting would be. Mei Lin Fung:Jonathan - can you read out my input from the chat above? Marika Konings:There is no external deadline which has been the reason why some other initiatives have had F2F meetings outside of an ICANN meeting Mei Lin Fung:Due to my problem with mic Mei Lin Fung:I wish to raise the point that this group consider effective tracking Asha Hemrajani:Sebastien is correct, budget requests can be made but these need to come from an SO/AC Alan Greenberg:ASha OR through the Public Comment process. Ahmed Bakht Masood:@ Marika: My mic is also not working. What are the time lines for auction Dietmar Stefitz:I agree with Sebastian ! Ahmed Bakht Masood:+1 Marika Konings:@Ahmed - there is no deadline. Marika Konings:It is up to the CCWG to set its schedule Ahmed Bakht Masood:Ok thanks Mei Lin Fung:Thank you Jonathan for appropriately representing the point I raised Dietmar Stefitz:I think there si no Problem, to get teh money out of the fund Marika Konings:ball park figure is 100,000 $ I believe Dietmar Stefitz:that's a real good figure Marika Marika Konings:but obvously it all depends on location, attendees, # of days, etc. Xavier Calvez:Correct Mariak. Based on the CCWG Accountability experience. Dietmar Stefitz:Low Cost flights for all! Becky Burr:But the point of this group is to develop recommendations about how to use the auction proceeds for consideration by SO/ACs Becky Burr:don't really think we have authority to actually cause the funds to be spent, for example, on f2f meetings Stephanie Perrin:+1 Becky Ahmed Bakht Masood:To reduce travel cost, F2F meetings can be done in conjuction with ICANN meetings, two / three days before or earlier Mei Lin Fung:Thank you Jonathan Peter Vergote (ccNSO):Agree to that Becky. We should focus on workplan and milestones first! Mei Lin Fung:for your good service as Co-chair and running this meeting Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina 2:Thanks Jonathan!! Nadira ALARAJ:+1 for Becky's Xavier Calvez:But it needs to be determined yet whether funding of travel to participants of this group is provided. elliot noss:thanks. bye all Nadira ALARAJ:Thank you Dietmar Stefitz:Thank you Jonathan bverd (RSSAC):thank you Julf Helsingius:thanks Ahmed Bakht Masood:Bye all Peter Vergote (ccNSO):Txs everyone. CU later
