Short summary of GAC/GNSO discussions
by Stéphane Van Gelder March 14, 2011

March 14, 2011

Hi all, I thought it might be useful for me to just jot down some of the points that were made during our joint meeting with the GAC yesterday, as this is probably something that we would want to continue discussing. The GAC suggested that we "reverse the liaison" and provide a point of contact from each GNSO group to them. The GAC restated their difficulty in participating in working groups as they are unable to participate in a personal capacity. The GAC suggested we might think about producing common GAC/GNSO communiqués. The GAC expressed the need for a "GNSO 101", i.e. some guide to the way the GNSO works. They also indicated that they were about to start discussing their "working methods" internally. Thanks, Stéphane

From: Diane Schroeder <diane.schroeder(a)icann.org> Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2011 15:14:32 -0700 Subject: Public Sessions on Recent Board-GAC consultations - Community Input Sending on Behalf of Peter Dengate Thrush To: Chairs of ALAC, GNSO Council and the Chairs of the GNSO Stakeholder Groups: As you know, ICANN is holding workshops Monday and Wednesday to discuss the remaining issues discussed during the recent Board-GAC consultations. After the initial consultation the Board has graded these new gTLD issues as to whether the GAC and Board are: in agreement, in agreement in principle with some changes to be made, or in disagreement on each of the issues raised by the GAC. The purpose of these workshops is to receive community input on how the outstanding issues should be resolved, especially those where the GAC and Board are in disagreement. We invite you or a person you nominate to speak regarding how the outstanding issues should be resolved. We are looking forward to your leadership in focusing the discussion toward practical solutions. Please respond to Kurt Pritz regarding your plans. Sincerely, Peter Dengate Thrush

Latest version of the Board topics
by Stéphane Van Gelder March 13, 2011

March 13, 2011

The role of the GNSO community in addressing any new items that come out of the GAC/BD discussions on new gTLDs. More specifically, to the extent that there are any inconsistencies between the policy advice given by the GNSO and what the ICANN Board agrees to with the GAC, how will those matters be handled. Also, how should the GNSO community factor GAC advice earlier into the policy development process, and should it try to? Volunteer Fatigue/Prioritizing – and how to deal with it.

Confluence announcement
by Glen de Saint Géry March 13, 2011

March 13, 2011

Dear All, As you might be aware, ICANN is in the process of transitioning all Socialtext Wikis over to Confluence Wiki (by Atlassian). Next up are the GNSO related workspaces (WG wikis, GNSO Council wiki, etc.) We expect this to be a gradual transition with a final completion date of 30 June 2011 at which stage all Socialtext Wikis will have been migrated and will retire. What does this mean for you? In due time you will be informed by the responsible ICANN policy staff that your respective workspace has migrated and you can start using the new Confluence wiki. At that stage you will also receive your log-in details which will give you editing rights to your respective Confluence pages. All the informationthat was available on the Socialtext wiki will also be available on the newConfluence site, albeit with a different layout format. How can you lean more about Confluence? To learn more about Confluence and the new functionalities offered, please see http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+User%27s+Guide. Attached you will also find an introduction to the basic functions of Confluence. Confluence Training Session: For those interested, a training session will be organized at the next ICANN meeting in San Francisco. If you are interested to participate, please inform the GNSO Secretariat at gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org> as soon as possible. If you already want to have a look at the new ICANN Community Wiki space, please see https://community.icann.org/. Please note that for now you'll only find the ALAC wikis and access to board resolutions there. To access the existing GNSO wikis at Socialtext, please go to https://st.icann.org/st/dashboard. We hope that the transition will be smooth, without any major interruptions, and anticipate that the move to Confluencewill enhance the options for on-line collaboration as a result of the enhanced features offered. If you have any questions, please let me know. With best regards, Marika
