NCAs in the new GNSO Council structure
Hi, as discussed yesterday in the conference call, and to start the discussion in our list, I am including possible options for assigning the role of the three NCAs in the new structure of the GNSO Council: Option a: The NCAs talk it through and figure out which roles seem right to them. Option b: Random selection. Option c: The council members decide with random selection of which House chooses first. Option d: The two Houses collaborate and decide among them where the NCAs will be assigned. Option e: The new, inexperienced NCA rep assumes the non-voting Council seat and one of the above options is used to assign the two House seats. Option f: The experienced NCA rep assumes the non-voting Coundil seat and one of the above options is used to assign the two House seats Option g: (Combination of option a and d) The two Houses collaborate and decide among them where the NCAs will be assigned, with a refusal option by any of the NCAs. Please iclude other options thay you may think of and share your comments about this in the list. We should decide about this in our next GNSO conference call on 24 September. Best regards Olga
If I understood Avri correctly yesterday, the immediate concern is to address where this coming year's NCA's sit, as it is possible (but not a sure thing) that next year the NomCom itself will take on the role. So any decision made now could be with the understanding that it is for this year only, with the three known NCAs. Or it could be a generalized solution that will work every year if the NomCom does not do it. One last thought is that if option e is adopted, I do not think that it would be fair to say that Andrey Kolesnikov is destined to fill that role for his entire two years. He applied for the position based on the old structure and rules. Alan At 04/09/2009 02:47 PM, Olga Cavalli wrote:

Alan, My understanding is that it is a one time effort for the initial seating of the NCAs on the new Council. The revised Bylaws call for the NomCom to do this task in the future. The problem this year is that they received the request very late in their process.

Yes, I understood that, but I added a caution about the long-term solution, as Avri seemed to indicate that their might be some reconsideration of that. But perhaps I read too much into it. But even if it were a long term requirement that the choice be made in the GNSO, nothing requires us to select the ongoing method now - we first need to address this year's issue. And assuming the NomCom does take on the responsibility next year, we will need to think about whether this year's allocation is locked in for the next year (where at least 2/3 NCAs will remain on the GNSO), or whether all three will be (re)assigned.

Thanks Olga. I like Option D, with Option B in the event the Houses cannot agree. I also assume that the Houses' collaboration would include inputs from the NCAs as to their inclinationss. -Mike Mike Rodenbaugh Rodenbaugh Law 548 Market Street San Francisco, CA 94104 +1.415.738.8087 www.rodenbaugh.com -----Original Message----- From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Olga Cavalli Sent: Friday, September 04, 2009 11:48 AM To: GNSO Council Subject: [council] NCAs in the new GNSO Council structure Hi, as discussed yesterday in the conference call, and to start the discussion in our list, I am including possible options for assigning the role of the three NCAs in the new structure of the GNSO Council: Option a: The NCAs talk it through and figure out which roles seem right to them.

Thanks for providing this very useful summary Olga. I like option E. I think you made a powerful argument for it during the Council call. I would then hope we could work together to assign the other two NCAs through option D. Thanks, Stéphane Le 04/09/09 20:47, « Olga Cavalli » <olgac@fibertel.com.ar> a écrit :

Hi, being an NCA, I would like to add my thoughts in relation to our role in the new GNSO: - Option a: The NCAs talk it through and figure out which roles seem right to them. Could be a valid option, but one of the NCAs will be new in the council, so he could hardly figure out which role to select. - Option b: Random selection. In my oppinon it brings no value in it.
-
Option c: The council members decide with random selection of which House chooses first.
This is another version of the random selection.
-
Option d: The two Houses collaborate and decide among them where the NCAs will be assigned.
This could be an option but perhaps it should add a possible refusal by the
NCA, in the case that he/she is not in favour of serving one of the houses or becoming a homeless. What I want to say is that it sounds unfair just say where NCAs go and not having any feedback about their expectations.
-
Option e: The new, inexperienced NCA rep assumes the non-voting Council seat and one of the above options is used to assign the two House seats.
It should not be for the two years, it takes out the stress to voting in
the first meetings, where there is a lot to read and sometimes it is hard to decide. The problem I see with this approach is that the fact of voting necesarily pushes towards understanding, reading, asking, which at the beginning is challenging and good for the future performance of the NCA in the council. If you are new and you do not have to vote, then you do not have that incentive and you may loose some momentum. - Option f: The experienced NCA rep assumes the non-voting Coundil seat and one of the above options is used to assign the two House seats There is value in active participation without voting, so this option could be valid. - Option g: (Combination of option a and d) The two Houses collaborate and decide among them where the NCAs will be assigned, with a refusal option by any of the NCAs.
