Regarding GAC liaison position
by 陳曼茹 Manju Chen Aug. 1, 2022

Aug. 1, 2022

Hi all, I'd like to follow up with our discussions in last week's Council meeting regarding opening the call for GAC liaison position. As emphasized in my intervention, this proposal shall not be seen as unsatisfaction for the current GAC liaison. Jeff has done an amazing job and we are extremely grateful for his time and devotion. However, I believe we as Council should not have one individual carrying out 2 critical liaison roles—the GAC liaison and SupPro liaison, both require impeccable neutrality. Again, this is not about the capability/performance of the individual but the Council's responsibility of making the two jobs clearly separated. We have obligations to ensure transparency and accountability of such processes and appointments. I proposed we open the position of GAC liaison and call for volunteers. As the deadline for SubPro ODA has been pushed to December this year, it goes without saying that subsequent work and discussions will continue until next year. I think we can all agree that the Council will feel crippled without Jeff as our SubPro ODP liaison. I've also suggested during last week's meeting that it is time for the Council to review the job description of GAC liaison, specifically, considering adding term limits for the role. I believe this will be another step towards better accountability and transparency of the GNSO Council. Thank you for reading this lengthy email. I look forward to further discussions! Best, Manju

FW: [CORRESPONDENCE] Maarten Botterman to Philippe Fouquart and Manal Ismail - Closed Generics
by philippe.fouquart＠orange.com July 29, 2022

July 29, 2022

Dear Councilors, Please see the attached letter from the Board regarding the closed generics dialogue with the GAC. The Board seeks our respective views on two elements a) whether we have an objection against Melissa Peters Allgood, as the Conflict Resolution Specialist with org to serve as neutral facilitator for the dialogue and b) the structure/size of the group. Given that those two items were already discussed within the small team, we may hopefully wrap this up quickly; leadership will come back to the list with a proposal.

Update from the WS2 Community Coordination Group
by Olga Cavalli July 28, 2022

July 28, 2022

Dear Councilors, I trust this email finds you well. Please find hereunder the latest update from the WS2 Community Coordination Group. As a reminder, the WS2 Community Coordination Group is intended to serve as a forum to exchange best practices, lessons learned, as well as for sharing information and progress on a number of specific CCWG recommendations, namely, Recommendation 1.1 (on seven proposed elements of diversity), Recommendation 1.7 (on a process for handling complaints about diversity), and Recommendation 2.3 (on a standalone framework for exercising Empowered Community powers). The CCG has started its work by focusing on recommendation 1.1 (on seven proposed elements of diversity) – see below. If there are any concerns or comments about what is proposed below, please feel free to share so I can take this back to the CCG as the Council representative in this effort. Best regards, Olga Cavalli GNSO Council’s Representative on the WS2-CCG *From: *ws2-ccg <ws2-ccg-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Melissa Peters Allgood <melissa.allgood(a)icann.org> *Date: *Tuesday, 19 July 2022 at 16:39 *To: *"ws2-ccg(a)icann.org" <ws2-ccg(a)icann.org> *Subject: *[ws2-ccg] 12 July Action Item Updates and Proposed 4 August Agenda Thank you all for your participation in the 12 July CCG call. The session recording can be found here: https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/t_8jfH8v6aClDd_4fgvljIsF_nrumuoOFRnbkp0MZSQf… [icann.zoom.us] <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.zoom.us/rec/play/t_8jfH8v6aClDd_4f…> Contributions made on the call and on the list have demonstrated that CCG participants agree that the 7 elements of diversity detailed in the WS2 Final Report encapsulate a shared foundational understanding of diversity. While subsequent conversations are likely necessary to ensure all elements are clear, sufficiently meaningful, and can be implemented in each community as they stand, the best use of group time and consultant efforts might be found focusing on how individual groups navigate implementation of elements in various situations. *ACTION ITEMS* CCG members on the call agreed that the 7 elements of diversity detailed in the WS2 Final Report are a shared foundation of diversity within the ICANN community. Individual community groups are empowered to expand upon these areas of common understanding as best fits the needs of their respective communities. Those on the call further agreed that the ICANN community seeks to ensure there are no impediments to participation within the ICANN community based on the diversity elements of gender, age, and disability. Here you will find the relevant proposed language: *The ICANN community strives to ensure that there are no impediments or discrimination towards existing or potential community members based on the diversity elements of gender, age, and disability. * While discussing how to best utilize the DEI consulting team, community members requested more information. Attached you will find biographies and other information about Advisory83. *NEXT STEPS* In preparation for our next call, 4 August at 20:00 UTC, we ask you are prepared to share feedback on the following: - The proposed no impediment language regarding age, gender, and disability detailed above. - Any questions or clarification regarding the remaining 4 elements of diversity (geographic/regional representation, language, diverse skills, and SG/C) as a foundation of common understanding, noting that the SG/C element may not be applicable across the entire community. These elements are discussed in more detail in WS2 Annex 1: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ccwg-acct-ws2-annex-1-diversity… Some on the 12 July call discussed how elements of diversity may have varying levels of importance in different contexts, situations, and groups and we hope to move the CCG into this application work. Accordingly, we propose the 4 August call focus on ensuring that each of the 7 elements are a sufficient basis of common understanding for individual groups to apply within their respective communities and, time allowing, begin discussion around application of diversity elements to community work. We anticipate this will inform where the consulting team can best support your efforts. *PROPOSED AGENDA - 4 AUGUST* 1. Welcome 2. Discussion regarding proposed language for approaching age, gender, and disability. 3. Discussion regarding clarification and questions about the other four elements - geographic/regional representation, language, diverse skills, and SG/C - as a shared foundation to diversity within ICANN. 4. Org team to share a tool mapping diversity requirements in individual group operating procedure documents. We welcome your feedback on this approach and, as always, please let us know if we can assist in any other way. All the best, Melissa (on behalf of the org CCG support team)
