Thanks Heather. No objection and even less so if there's a risk to delay this any further. Timing is I think important and it's very good as it stands.

Objet : [council] Fwd: [soac-chairs] Draft Statement SSR2

Dear GNSO Council colleagues,

Following the Board's meeting with SSR2 and then meeting with SO/AC leaders this afternoon, we have reached the point of further modifications to the SO/AC communication below.

As James noted in our Wrap-Up meeting today, this is very much a negotiated effort, and drafting by committee has had all the usual challenges. We have added the note of thanks and tried to strengthen the forward-looking concerns. The draft below has our, Brad Verd and Kristina Sataki's inputs. It is now making the rounds.  It is a product of drafting by committee, so it still needs a look with fresh eyes for typos etc.

My view is let's try not to re-open negotiation unless it's absolutely imperative. I'm inclined to suggest that any lingering GNSO-specific concerns that we want to hammer home can go into a GNSO-specific response. Any objections?

Best wishes,

Heather

STATEMENT FROM SO/AC CHAIRS ON THE SUSPENSION OF THE SECURITY AND STABILITY REVIEW

The Chairs of ICANN’s Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) acknowledge the 28 October 2017 announcement from the Board of Directors, pausing the work of the Security, Stability and Resiliency Review Team (SSR2-RT), and the Board's having tasked the SOs and ACs in sessions this week with addressing concerns raised by the Board, Organizational Effectiveness Committee (OEC), and the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC).

Collectively, we accept responsibility for getting SSR2-RT restarted as expeditiously as possible. During various sessions throughout ICANN60, our groups have met with the Board and/or members of SSR2-RT to hear their concerns. We intend to continue to consult with our respective communities, and each other, to assess and address issues relating to the scope, composition and participation, resource utilization, and overall work plan of the Review.

Additionally, the Board’s unilateral decision to suspend the work of a key accountability mechanism has raised questions that go to the independence of SSR2-RT, and specific reviews going forward. As a follow-on effort, we intend to examine the selection and scoping process for review teams, and develop a clear and predictable process for raising and addressing concerns about review teams. We also intend to carefully consider the Board's action, with a view to preventing similar instances in the future. We look forward to working collaboratively with the Board, SSR2-RT and the broader community on this task.

Finally, we wish to acknowledge the efforts of our colleagues on the SSR2-RT to date, and thank them for their continued commitment towards security, stability and resiliency. 
 

[Signatures] Alan (ALAC), Patrik (SSAC), Katrina (ccNSO), Thomas (GAC outgoing), Manal (GAC incoming), James (GNSO outgoing), Heather (GNSO incoming), Tripti Sinha(RSSAC Co-Chair and Brad Verd (RSSAC Co-Chair), (Etc.)

Cheers,
Brad

    I don't’ know if anyone has the pen on the document, and in order to have the statement reviewed and agreed in time for the public forum I would need to see the current version of the statement.  I assume the changes which I have seen on this thread are accounted for and we have ensured there are no further suggestions.  In light of the time schedule one possible way forward is that we could create a google doc and work to consensus in that manner.

    Cheers,

        I think there’s a common understanding that we as chairs cannot decide (anything) without consulting our communities first. However, I think that we do not need to consult our communities if that’s ok for us “to consult with our respective communities” (

        I am in favour of issuing this statement today. After our meeting with the Board perhaps?

        Thanks!

            All,

            Today we have the public forum 15:45-18:30.

            Do we think we can send a note today, and if so before the public forum? I do understand that even if you as individuals think the text "is ok", you must pass the text via your respective communities and because of that sending the note "now" is not possible for any definition of "now" :-)

            So no stress. I just want to be aware of your respective timelines, so that I know this (if possible) before my meeting with ICANN Board 1030-1130 today and specifically the public forum at which I might as SSAC Chair have to go to the microphone.

            FWIW, I am ok with the text.

The reason why I was suggesting those words is for exactly that reason - that accepting responsibility means the board is giving us the responsibility.  I believe those words should go into the bylaws should they be adjusted. Tasking, in my opinion, is a less authoritative word and simply assigns a task with a defined goal. Responsibility is greater. Not that I disagree that that may happen but it needs to be in the bylaws.
