Enhancing MSM
by Javier Rua June 15, 2020

Hello, and thanks for the chance to comment. In regards topics 5 & 6 (Culture, trust, and silos /Roles and responsibilities) one aspect that seems absent from all discussion is at least having a conversation on professional facilitation in thorny issues. This idea might go a bit against the grain in terms of community self-governance; agree this aspect cannot be underestimated, but the truth is that there are profesional entities out there that are experts in getting diverse and even enemy groups to sit down and negotiate (from peace / reconciliation agreements among guerrillas and states, to more run of the mill, less bellicose disagreements). I’ve seen these entities in action (I remember one called REOS Partners https://reospartners.com/) and I truly believe these professional approaches could help a working group be more purposeful, efficient and effective-Maybe pack months of work into a few days. If this idea is completely out of the ICANN Multistakeholder self-governance comfort zone, perhaps one of these professional organizations could help train ICANN community volunteer/leaders and perhaps also ICANN staff, on these communication and consensus building techniques. ICANN org would get great ‘bang for the buck’ in investments such as these, which would both enhance participation and speed-up processes in WGs & PDPs. Thanks again! Javier Rúa-Jovet ALAC
