Hi Martin, Thank you for your feedback and recommended way forward during the call scheduled for later today. I will have these questions uploaded in the AC room. As a reminder, the CSC and CSC Review team are scheduled to have the discussion the first 30 minutes of the call (19:30-20:00 UTC). Donna has to drop off afterwards. Agenda attached for your quick reference. Thank you, Ria From: <csc-review-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Martin Boyle via CSC-Review <csc-review@icann.org> Reply-To: Martin Boyle <martin.boyle.hertford@ntlworld.com> Date: Saturday, October 14, 2017 at 6:10 PM To: "'Austin, Donna'" <Donna.Austin@team.neustar>, "csc-review@icann.org" <csc-review@icann.org> Subject: Re: [CSC-Review] Questions for the CSC Thanks Ria for capturing these question from the call on Wednesday: these are useful extra questions to add to the two that were posted for the call with Elise. Just one remark about these posted questions: the second (the CSC’s proposals) was not really directly addressed and, anyway, it was probably not really a specific issue to raise with PTI. With CSC it is probably worth dividing the session into two parts starting with their views on the way the CSC is working and separately in the conversation to look into the motivation for proposed changes. Does that make sense? Listening to the transcript again it seems to me that there were a few “hidden” questions in the session – answers implied a question. We do need to try to capture at least some of these ideas! I would also note that Donna started the session with a very open question that allowed Elise to expand on the points she saw as important: I found this particularly useful because Elise was able to identify the issues that she saw as particularly important. (We should remember the power of open questions throughout our dialogue!) The question was, How do members and liaisons see the CSC going? (I re-phrase the question in CSC member terms, but I think that that was the gist of the question!) So I would tentatively suggest a framework for our discussion with the CSC as: 0. What do the members and liaisons on the CSC see as the value of the CSC? CSC was expected to ensure cooperation between the stakeholders who rely on the effective operation of the IANA naming functions: is it achieving this? 1. Is the CSC effective in handling its business (as seen as by the committee as a whole and by representatives of different stakeholder groups)? If there are any issues, are they associated with the charter? The CWG-IANA saw the CSC as a primary part of the accountability model for the IANA naming functions: how do you think it is performing in this role? 1. How well do you think that the interaction between members and liaisons, and between the CSC and PTI meet the expectations of the different stakeholder groups? 2. Is there a need to differentiate responsibilities of PTI liaison and reflect in charter? Is the balance between members and liaisons correct? Does the workload demand too much from members? Do you expect the workload to change now that the CSC has bedded in? Does the size of the committee need to be reconsidered? Do the roles and responsibilities of members and liaisons need to be revisited? 3. In relation to voting and non-voting – What goes to a vote and what doesn’t (and why)? Are the views of the liaisons being taken into account before a vote happens? 4. The CSC meetings are held once a month, and there are regular updates for the community 3 times a year. Given the need for the CSC to be engaged early in addressing any performance issues, how would you like to see the framework for interactions between CSC and PTI developed? Would there be issues if the frequency of calls reduced or calls were shorter? 5. Does the CSC mandate need to be re-visited? If so, how and why? 2. A discussion on the CSC proposals (and their wider implications) for charter changes. Just some initial thoughts. I would note that a lot of the questions won’t need to be asked explicitly, the question serving simply as a reminder to us, so we shouldn’t really need to take up the whole meeting!

It might be helpful if we could provide the CSC with the questions in advance, so if you could respond by midday tomorrow PDT, that would be great.

Here are the questions that were posed to Elise on yesterday’s call: Interaction between members and liaisons – how well does it work? Is there a need to differentiate responsibilities of PTI liaison and reflect in charter? In relation to voting and non-voting – What goes to a vote and what doesn’t? Are the views of the liaisons being taken into account before a vote happens? The CSC meetings are held once a month, and regular updates 3 times a year. Does once a month still work? Should scope CSC expand? Please let me know if I’ve missed anything.

Bart and Maria, would it be possible for you to pull out the questions that we posed to Elise today. I think they would form a good basis for questions to ask the CSC when we speak to them next week.

However, it did seem to be a very useful meeting and I am grateful to Elise for her clear answers to our questions (and thanks to Donna for her good work chairing the session and asking the questions).
