Avri, Not being in the OSC operations WT but having an interest in the topic, I will reply to a few points made in this thread if you will allow just one more incursion in this mailing list... I am however copying the Council list as I see this as a long term issue, and one which the Council will have to address. On the points raised by Liz, as I suggested before I think a kind of test-run could be tried on selected WGs or DTs to start with, as long as the aim is to find a solution to the problem as a whole. More generally, Liz is absolutely right to point out that organising meetings in timezones outside the US will place a burden on ICANN's US-centric staff. That is absolutely something that we must think about, but it's also something that serves to highlight the US-centric problem even more. Because ICANN has limited staff outside of the US, it will find it hard to provide support for those volunteers in the SOs and ACs that are from other timezones. We therefore seem to be hitting against a contradiction in the ICANN model, which on the one hand strives towards maximum regional representation (just look at the diversity of volunteers on the Council and in any other ICANN structure, or look at the work done on geo regions for instance), but on the other hand doesn't have the logistics to back that up. There is no doubt in my mind that if we are to try to make volunteers' life easier when they are outside the "convenient" US or European regions, we will also need to find ways to have those volunteers adequately supported by ICANN staff. An interested discussion, and one which we obviously need to give a lot more thought to before we are able to suggest workable solutions.

Re: DOODLE / GNSO Council Restructuring drafting team / next call
by Stéphane Van Gelder Aug. 18, 2009

Aug. 18, 2009

I¹m taking this to the Council list because, although Adrian responded to a restructuring DT message, he makes a point which I feel we absolutely must address. I fully understand his reluctance to participate in calls in the middle of the night (Australian time). Our duties as GNSO Councillors already take up a huge amount of time and effort which detracts us from our ³normal² working lives and I don¹t think anyone can be expected to stay up for meetings during at nights or the wee hours of the morning. This is obviously a bigger problem for Asia Pac reps as our meeting times are manageable for Europe or the USA. But it is a problem for the Council as a whole nonetheless, as these are Councillors which are often unable to carry out their duties as much as they would like. I don¹t have a solution to this oft discussed problem, but I just wanted to add my voice of support to Adrian and Councillors who find themselves in the same bind - as long as this support doesn¹t lead to meetings being scheduled at times which are convenient to them but not to us of course ;-) Stéphane Le 18/08/09 03:19, « Adrian Kinderis » <adrian(a)ausregistry.com.au> a écrit : > I have completed the Doodle (but I am not sure why I bother). > > For the record, whilst I am of course interested in participating (and it is > my duty as a Councillor) I will continually reject meeting times that impact > my ability to perform my work at 100% (i.e. I will not participate in any > calls between 11pm and 6am local time). > > > Adrian Kinderis > Chief Executive Officer > AusRegistry International Pty Ltd > Level 8, 10 Queens Road > Melbourne.

Additional topic and motion for this weeks agenda
by Avri Doria Aug. 15, 2009

Aug. 15, 2009

Hi, Since I was not able to send the proposed letter on increased travel support due to the absence of consensus, I have added it as an AOB topic to the agenda and have included a possible motion. Since this letter has been on the table and list for consensus consideration for over 2 weeks, I hope that it is acceptable to put it forward for this week's meeting. the motion (as yet not made or seconded): Motion made by: Seconded by: Whereas: The plan is to seat the new council in Seoul, and current council members may not longer be council members at that time Resolved: Send the following letter: Letter to Kevin Wilson, I have been mandated by the GNSO council, by a vote of XX to YY, to request support not only for the members of the new bi-cameral council to be seated at Seoul, but also for those current council members who may not be continuing on the new council due to the reorganization. The reason this request is being made is to provide continuity to the GNSO council at this time of restructuring, reorganization and 'improvement.' Thank you Avri Doria for the GNSO Council -- thanks a.
