Re: [council] Preliminary planning for ICANN58
Hi James, Thanks for this. Remarks in line.
(1) Do we prefer a Single or Split Constituency Day?
No preference. I would like to highlight a problem for NCSG Councillors though. We represent the members of two constituencies - NPOC and NCUC - on Council. Meetings of these constituencies are held at the same time making it impossible for us to attend both meetings of the constituencies whose members we represent on Council. If consideration could be given to somehow scheduling Constituency meetings so these two groups do not completely overlap I would be grateful. It would make it easier at least for this Councillor to feel he is adequately representing all those he is charged to represent on Council.
(2) What is the right number of High Interest Topics (HIT)? The current Block Schedule drafts contain five HIT sessions.
One. At most. HIT's belong at the IGF and other fora. If there are burning issues directly involving ICANN and ICANN policy that masses of ICANN meeting attendees are interested in learning about and discussing fine. I just don't think this happens very often. The A and C meetings are too long. Events that are not directly tied to policy making and the functioning of our California based public benefits corporation should be reduced with an eye towards elimination.
(3) Any thoughts on the best way to solicit topics for HIT sessions, and how to choose the top 5?
Open call with attention paid to the number of requests for certain topics. High interest should, well, mean that there is high interest in a topic by a large number of community members.
(4) Similarly, any thoughts on how to address the inevitable conflicts between working sessions and HITs?
If HIT's are to continue then I would suggest they should be of sufficient interest that attendees would want to attend the sessions in lieu of other nonessential activities. I would thus schedule HIT's, based upon the Hyberabad meeting, in the 18:30 and beyond time slots. Competition would largely, although not exclusively, be cocktail receptions and other optional activities rather than sessions directly related to the functioning of the corporation.
(5) Any other specific feedback you’d like us to bring to the SO/AC meeting
I am concerned that private trade associations such as the Domain Name Association were able to schedule sessions under the auspices of ICANN SG's. I would suggest this practice be prohibited before it proliferates. I have already had inquiries from NCSG institutional members concerning their desire and ability to hold similar meetings at ICANN using ICANN hosted facilities and resources. We need to stop this practice now before it wreaks havoc on our meeting schedules. I would also like to echo a comment made earlier by Ruebens: when in doubt please make meeting A a more like meeting B than like meeting C. I would go so far as to suggest we actually make meeting A exactly like meeting B and have only have one large non policy focused (the AGM) meeting a year. Ed
Please respond by next week with your ideas, and we’ll take them back to the planning group. Thanks—

ICANN hubs: LA, Istambul and Singapore. I assume that those places are central located in terms of airlines logistics, already have a minimum of ICANN staff available, facilites, etc. and would greatly reduce the cost to set up meetings (A recent meeting of the CCT-RT in Washington DC had to fly in as many ICANN staff members as RT members, which calls for more reasonable places to meet, particularly for mainle “working” meetings like the Policy Format calls for).

Just a note that the Meeting Strategy Working Group examined the idea of “rotating hubs”, and rejected them. Mostly by folks from smaller and/or more distant locations who were concerned that ICANN would be permanently absent from their region. I don’t agree, but that was their finding. Thanks – J.

Hi Carlos While your suggestion makes perfect sense the reality is that the smaller meeting B, ie Policy Meetings, were designed to enable ICANN to host meetings in locations predominately in the African and LAC regions that can no longer host the larger ICANN meetings. Prior to the establishment of the Meeting Strategy Working Group (MSWG), Nick Tomasso published a proposal suggesting that hub locations be used, although Nick called them Consolidated Meeting Locations, and adjusted the rotation through regions. Nick's proposal was rejected and the MSWG was established. Nick's proposal is available at: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/meetings-proposal-02oct12-en.pdf The MSWG also discussed the idea of hubs as well but agreed to continue regional rotation.

Absolutely. Altho I’d love to see some data that correlates attendance at an ICANN meeting with an uptick in new volunteer participation. We’ve often heard the CEO or Chair announce (in London, and most recently Hyderabad) that the current ICANN meeting is the “largest in its history.” But I haven’t yet seen where overall attendance translates in to a deeper pool of volunteers for policy work.

I don’t agree, but that was their finding.

Ah ok, so the ICANN hubs. That makes a lot of sense from a cost and logistics perspective.

ICANN hubs: LA, Istambul and Singapore.
I assume that those places are central located in terms of airlines logistics, already have a minimum of ICANN staff available, facilites, etc. and would greatly reduce the cost to set up meetings (A recent meeting of the CCT-RT in Washington DC had to fly in as many ICANN staff members as RT members, which calls for more reasonable places to meet, particularly for mainle “working” meetings like the Policy Format calls for).

And if holding meeting B in Africa and LAC encourages stakeholders from those regions to engage with the GNSO’s PDP, then all the better.
Thanks.

Hi Carlos
While your suggestion makes perfect sense the reality is that the smaller meeting B, ie Policy Meetings, were designed to enable ICANN to host meetings in locations predominately in the African and LAC regions that can no longer host the larger ICANN meetings.
Prior to the establishment of the Meeting Strategy Working Group (MSWG), Nick Tomasso published a proposal suggesting that hub locations be used, although Nick called them Consolidated Meeting Locations, and adjusted the rotation through regions. Nick's proposal was rejected and the MSWG was established.
Nick's proposal is available at: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/meetings-proposal-02oct12-en.pdf
The MSWG also discussed the idea of hubs as well but agreed to continue regional rotation.

Ah ok, so the ICANN hubs. That makes a lot of sense from a cost and logistics perspective.

Dear Donna, I´m aware of the background and the great design work based on past experience. But I just have to say that the new meeting meeting ‘strategy’ was largely designed to pelase everybody and before we could measure the impact of the new empowered community CCWGs, overlapping AoC reviews, and 1000+ new gTLDs and GDD exclusive gatherings, which require an increasing number of small meetings along the year at great cost and expense. Having said that, I must confess that Helsinki was a great surprise in “policy-efficiency” and reduced non-sense I would like to emulate as far as possible. Looking forward, we should take the best of the new meetings format (and forget such ones as Hyderabad). Nobody said we can keep improving. Lets hope for an ICANN58 where we can work effectively.

My two cents .. If something is working don’t break it, but if it’s not working then we should fix it. We’ve had one year of the new meeting strategy and strengths and weaknesses have been identified. Also, as Carlos points out, the strategy was designed in “another” reality, so maybe it isn’t a terrible idea to tweak..

Thanks Donna! The present PDD workload fully justifies a timeline of 2 policy meetings per year for at least 2017 and 2018! Let´s be creative to include efficient quality time during Policy meetings for AoC reviews and CCWGs in the same 4 day framework (so far those smaller meetings not being integral part of the “new strategy”) and the payback in terms of volunteers time and ICANN´s resources would be amazing!!!!

Dear Donna,
I´m aware of the background and the great design work based on past experience.
But I just have to say that the new meeting meeting ‘strategy’ was largely designed to pelase everybody and before we could measure the impact of the new empowered community CCWGs, overlapping AoC reviews, and 1000+ new gTLDs and GDD exclusive gatherings, which require an increasing number of small meetings along the year at great cost and expense.

Hi Carlos
While your suggestion makes perfect sense the reality is that the smaller meeting B, ie Policy Meetings, were designed to enable ICANN to host meetings in locations predominately in the African and LAC regions that can no longer host the larger ICANN meetings.
Prior to the establishment of the Meeting Strategy Working Group (MSWG), Nick Tomasso published a proposal suggesting that hub locations be used, although Nick called them Consolidated Meeting Locations, and adjusted the rotation through regions. Nick's proposal was rejected and the MSWG was established.
Nick's proposal is available at: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_ system_files_files_meetings-2Dproposal-2D02oct12-2Den.pdf&d=DgIFaQ&c=M OptNlVtIETeDALC_lULrw&r=4A3LwUUER9_CePZ11QJsr56eryGQiPHEqv4TL7JH87w&m= yA8iJGrUhu-hw5NhgxHt3EdCjsUkyvV5bP20-TWqVuM&s=VjxwKKLRyU0NB1BxRKcSSn4e jJsmlDbbj4MD-FjZHzs&e=
The MSWG also discussed the idea of hubs as well but agreed to continue regional rotation.

Thank you James. But here we are working on the 2nd derivative: ICANN hubs for Policy (short) Meetings. Don´t know if this was also discarded.
