ICANN offices, including the regional office for the Middle East and Africa (MEA) in Istanbul, remained closed for the greater part of last year. The Istanbul office partially reopened toward the end of September and began working in full operation as of 9 January 2023. Remote working has been the primary mode of operation across the entire region, with some in-person engagement beginning to resume in the third and fourth quarters of 2022. However, in 2023, we anticipate remote engagement to recede as the demand for face-to-face engagement is already on the rise. Read more.

FW: Prompt review please: draft input to Board on SubPro ODA
by McGrady, Jr., Paul D. 19 Jan '23

19 Jan '23

Thanks Kurt and the SubPro team. I agree with Kurt that the letter is too long. I’m concerned that it will slow down the Board’s consideration of the SubPro outputs. Also, I don’t believe there is time to independently verify some of the factual claims. I think it is fine that the substance come from the Small Team. But Council’s but the message to the Board should be to encourage a yes vote and the establishment of an IRT to figure out the best path forward, including a detailed analysis of the ODA. Along those lines, I have split the letter up (see attached) – one chunk from Seb speaking for Council and one chunk from the Small Team speaking for the Small Team. As for Kurt’s rewrite, while I very much appreciate the effort and agree that if we had more time a briefer document would make sense, I don’t know that we all have sufficient time to review Kurt’s new document before the Council call tomorrow. I hope this email and the attachment are helpful to other Council members to prepare for tomorrow’s call. Always happy to field questions on the list.

I read the draft. I found the analysis, thought and rationale to be excellent, and (having been on your side of the writing table) can understand the amount of work done in a short period of time. However, I think it is too long (Board members will not read it but rather rely on a staff summary), somewhat repetitive (I get the idea of a high-level cover letter and a detailed appendix, but the cover letter is too detailed and much of the material is repeated), and find it overly defensive of the SubPro report (which is not necessary in order to make our points). I know it is somewhat unfair for me to make theses observations when you and the others have done all this work without offering more. With that in mind, I have reorganised the report, attempting ameliorate the issues I listed above and focus on our key observations (primarily that the ODA legitimate concerns are implementation issues so let’s approve the final report and get on with the IRT). I sought to keep all the salient points and rationale while adding no new or differing ideas. I hope your and your team members find this helpful in some way and that youunderstand the constructive way in which it was intended. I’d be pleased to explain or discuss any of the amended writing. Feel free to use any, all, or none of the attached.

As we discussed during the SPS, the intent is to provide initial comments to the Board as it goes into its workshop next week, during which there will be a day devoted to discussion of SubPro and the ODA, probably on 22 January. With the holiday period, the small team have only had a short time to pull this together. There will be an opportunity to discuss and ask questions during our Council call on 19 January but could I please urge you to try to review the draft and send feedback over the mailing list in advance if at all possible. For the Board to have time to consider our input during their discussion next week, it needs to be sent promptly after our GNSO Council meeting.

Re: [council] [Ext] RE: CCOICI WGSA Recommendations Report
by Marika Konings 19 Jan '23

19 Jan '23

In the past, there was only a Working Group Self-Assessment at the end of a WG’s life (so after the Final report had been submitted to the GNSO Council). The CCOICI recommends the introduction of a periodic survey that would be conducted at the latest following the publication of the Initial Report, unless the charter determines differently. In this case, the report does state that “the Council and/or Council leadership can follow up with the WG members and/or leadership for any follow up conversations it deems necessary to assess if there are issues that need addressing”.

Regardless, I’m sure she will respond to your question when she has an opportunity. I can maybe share how this has worked in the past. Following the completion of the WG Self-Assessment survey, the staff support team would share the summary with the GNSO Council for review. Based on the feedback received, Council would then consider whether any updates should be considered to existing practices or procedures, and/or factor this input in when chartering future efforts. Of course, if there are specific suggestions for how this review should be done going forward, this could be something to consider further during the February meeting. I hope this is helpful.

I’m assuming they’d form the basis (if appropriate) for a Council debate that, if problems in the WG were identified, could lead to some sort of “correction intervention” but I’m not sure how that would be effected or indeed what it would be. Sorry if this is a really daft question – I’m just trying to understand what the practical outcome of the surveys would be.
