Re: [council] GNSO Standing Committee for Continuous Improvement – Ideas and Possible Approach
by Heather Forrest Jan. 11, 2021

Jan. 11, 2021

Many thanks, Philippe, Pam and Tatiana, for initiating this discussion about the formation of a new standing committee. I have some general reluctance based on the experience of the prior SCI, as well as specific thoughts about the Action Decision Radar. - While the Action Decision Radar is admittedly frighteningly long, here are relatively few items on that list that fall squarely into the bucket of "improvements", as opposed to policy development. I can see only these: - Council to decide when to launch review of Policy & Implementation recommendations review - Council to monitor for assignments related to the Evolution of Multi Stakeholder model (currently a watch-and-wait) - Council to monitor for ATRT3 implementation assignments; awaiting Board adoption of ATRT3 recommendations (to be updated following Board adoption, but as yet this too is a watch-and-wait, and is related to another item on this list, which is planning/scoping the GNSO3 Review) - SSR2 Results to be reviewed - The first item on this list, a review of the SCI's recommendations of June 2015, must, in my view, be undertaken prior to any formation of a new Standing Committee on Improvements. This review should not be a 'kitchen sink' type review, but rather an identification of any SCI recommendations that remain unimplemented (and an analysis of why/whether timely and appropriate to implement now, etc) and an identification of those which were implemented but perhaps may not be working optimally or as expected. This group could also be tasked with *identifying* any other potential improvements. Like Wolf-Ulrich, my concern is that the rationale or justification for forming a new SCI-like body isn't yet made out. The numerous dot points on the SCCI Ideas and Possible Approach document <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HBCXMkLb7vFkWClgCpsr8WjYScz3UDh4/edit> are not yet sufficiently tangible to justify forming a new group, in my opinion. - The Council in place at the time the SCI recommendations were approved in 2015 had difficulty bridging the gap between the SCI's recommendations and actual Council practice. Many members of the SCI had never served on Council and were not familiar with the workaday processes of how Council operates. While I am always in favour of efforts that have Councilors and broader GNSO community members working together, we need to ensure that we don't end up with a relatively inexperienced group that makes idealised recommendations for how Council can do its work better. I'm not suggesting that we do a post-mortem on the SCI 5 years after its closure, but simply that we as a community reflect carefully before launching any new initiative. - I prefer the idea of task forces on a particular topic to another SCI. This enables those with expertise on particular matters to selectively volunteer their time to relevant efforts, while a generally-themed SCI-like body may actually repel such subject matter experts. A small committee within the GNSO (not necessarily Council) could be set up to oversee this work. Unless there is a clear link to Council's remit under the Bylaws as manager of the PDP or to one of the narrow EC Responsibilities in which Council plays an administrative function, I do not see many of the tasks in the proposed remit of this new body as falling resolutely within Council's remit. I'll copy this final comment into the SCCI Ideas and Possible Approach document to ensure these views are captured there. I think this is an opportunity for the Council and GNSO SG/C leaders to work more closely together. One of the ways to make Council more efficient and effective is to slough off those tasks which are GNSO-related but not PDP- or EC-related to the GNSO community. The more Council takes on, obviously the less well it can do everything it already has on its plate, and in any event, the Bylaws do not envisage such an all-encumbered body as the GNSO Council is becoming.

The concept paper proposes an Operational Design Phase (ODP) that is to become part of the policy and implementation life cycle. The ICANN organization will conduct the ODP for consensus policy recommendations that are approved by the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council. The purpose of the ODP is to provide the Board with relevant information to decide, as required by the Bylaws, whether a recommendation is in the best interest of the ICANN community or ICANN. An initial draft of the ODP paper was distributed to the Supporting Organization and Advisory Committee (SO/AC) chairs on 2 October 2020. Following community input during ICANN69 and several written community submissions, ICANN org updated the draft and shared it with the SO/AC chairs on 17 December 2020, requesting community input by 22 January 2021. ICANN org will use the webinar to present the updated paper, answer any questions, and provide a forum for feedback. All feedback will feed into an updated final version of the ODP Concept Paper. The ODP framework will ultimately be incorporated into the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF<https://www.icann.org/uploads/ckeditor/CPIF_v2.0_2019CLEAN.pdf>). For more information, please, see also the ODP wiki space: https://community.icann.org/x/04omCQ.
