Re: [council] Informal conversation

Hmm ... isn't this one very good reason why we ought to have GNSO-GAC liaisons? Also, while I understand the difficulty the GAC may have with nit having one or two people represent the GAC formally, should we consider inviting them to appoint an observer or liaison to the task force or WG that Jeff is leading?

Good point Mary, I forgot the topic of a liaison. They say they can't do that, but actually suggest the reverse, i.e. that we send them a liaison! An interesting suggestion… Stéphane Le 27 oct. 2011 à 16:39, <Mary.Wong@law.unh.edu> a écrit :

Stéphane, thanks for having dealt with this already! I think that the suggestion that we send someone is most interesting and we should make a decision whether or not to grab this opportunity to open up an additional communication chanel in a timely fashion given the current difficult situation. I would very much welcome if we accepted the offer. Thomas ============= thomas-rickert.tel +49.228.74.898.0 Am 27.10.2011 um 16:48 schrieb Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@indom.com>:

Hi - my apologies for missing this meeting - it was 12am onwards here. Thanks for your work on this Stephane and Mary's idea of some mechanism(s) to help build relationships is a good one - whether as observer or liaison point. Or perhaps a standing item on the GNSO agenda could be: GAC - with a GAC rep/Chair given the opportunity to attend on specific topics of GNSO/GAC working methods? A practical suggestion on the IOC Red Cross matter: GAC makes a fair point on the intra-GAC issues (and, as Thomas says, GNSO councillors also face workload challenges). Could we suggest a small GNSO GAC working group on this specific issue? The group could take forward some of the issues raised and, perhaps, work together to suggest options/pathways forward for the two groups to consider?

Thanks Joy. We have decided to form a small group of Councilors to work on these issues. I have volunteered to lead the up. We did ask the GAC several times if they wanted to work with us in some form of group, but they have declined our invitation. Therefore, after the letter is sent, we will try to work these issues on our own in a relatively quick time frame and after approval from the Council, we will share our thoughts with the GAC. They seem to prefer this course of action. We have also asked for volunteers and Glen has volunteered to set up a mailing list. If you would like to volunteer for this group, please let Glen know.

The point was also made to me that we tend to assume that when we put something out, either on our mailing list or our website, that is enough for the GAC to be aware of it. I was told that it is not so, and that there is no substitute for direct communication. So in that regard, it sounds like our discussions in today's wrap-up about being seen to be more constructive and more proactive are spot on.
With that in mind, I would suggest that we perhaps want to send the draft letter on the IOC and RC names anyway. The idea being to show that we have done some thinking about this issue as well (someone made that point during the wrap-up, I forget who so apologies).
Also, I was told that unless we write to the GAC to tell them about the announcement made by ICANN and the registrars and published on the GNSO mailing list, they don't know about it. As this is a registrar specific issue, it is perhaps not for the GNSO as a whole to mention. But it is perhaps worth thinking about.
The main takeaway I got from the conversation is that we should look to improve the way we communicate with the outside world (this is not something I was told, it is my own conclusion).
Hope this is helpful.
Get home safe everyone. Enjoyed working with you this week.
Stéphane

Good point Mary, I forgot the topic of a liaison. They say they can't do that, but actually suggest the reverse, i.e. that we send them a liaison!
An interesting suggestion…

Hmm ... isn't this one very good reason why we ought to have GNSO-GAC liaisons?
Also, while I understand the difficulty the GAC may have with nit having one or two people represent the GAC formally, should we consider inviting them to appoint an observer or liaison to the task force or WG that Jeff is leading?
Thanks for the prompt action and reporting back, Stéphane.
Sorry to have been off the grid during the meeting; luckily I had an active Temporary Alternate. In a couple weeks I will be over some day job, health and travel humps and will have some bandwidth to allocate to Council matters. I would certainly be interested in doing something in connection with GAC, inter alia since I'm dealing with the same government folk on related matters in other settings anyway. Given the diversity of interests etc, I don't know if Council could comfortably settle on a single liaison. But if some formulation is found—one from each house, from each SG, or a rotating representation—I would certainly be interested in doing this for NCSG or anyone else who'd be comfortable with it. On a related governmental note, while several NCSG attempts to stimulate dialogue with the board on a devising a strategic community orientation toward developing country governments have gone nowhere, the issue remains rather live and relevant. By now I imagine everyone knows that after extensive coordination with Brazil and South Africa, India has formally proposed to the UN General Assembly that it should establish a United Nations Committee for Internet-Related Policies (CIRP). (This would be in addition to the ITU's Dedicated Group on International Internet-Related Public Policy Issues, which has just been elevated to full working group status.) Comprising 50 Member States chosen on the basis of equitable geographical representation, the CIRP would meet annually for two working weeks in Geneva and be staffed by UNCTAD. The mandate would be, inter alia, to • Develop and establish international public policies with a view to ensuring coordination and coherence in cross-cutting Internet-related global issues; • Coordinate and oversee the bodies responsible for technical and operational functioning of the Internet, including global standards setting; • Facilitate negotiation of treaties, conventions and agreements on Internet-related public policies; • Address developmental issues related to the Internet; • Promote the promotion and protection of all human rights, namely, civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights, including the Right to Development; • Undertake arbitration and dispute resolution, where necessary; and, • Crisis management in relation to the Internet. ICANN figures in this in more than the obvious ways. While CIRP would be supported by the regular budget of the United Nations, a separate Fund should also be set up "drawing from the domain registration fees collected by various bodies involved in the technical functioning of the Internet, especially in terms of names and addresses." I guess the JAS group forgot to include that bit... It will be interesting to see whether and how these initiatives, which could attract support from numerous members of the G-77 and China, might connect with GAC discussions. Anyway, Bill
