Kind regards, Terri Agnew GNSO Secretariat Adobe Chat Transcript for Tuesday, 24 May 2016 Terri Agnew:Dear all, welcome to the Framework of Operating Principles Cross Community Working Group meeting on the 24th of May 2016 Terri Agnew:Member wiki page: https://community.icann.org/x/qAfPAQ Becky Burr:john - i am having a bit of a fire drill here. Can you chair this as I need to be in and out Mary Wong:If we can circulate a draft Final Framework document to the WG by 7 or 8 June, we can have the WG meet again on 16 June. Bart Boswinkel:Id they refer to special budget requests? Mary Wong:@Bart, I think so - not a special process, but the normal SO/AC communty budget request Mary Wong:The problem there may be timing. Bart Boswinkel:yes it is called special budget request. However it is questionable whether appropropriate Steve Chan:@John, I was thinking of the special budget request that Bart mentioned Bart Boswinkel:appropriate Steve Chan:or the regular FY budgeting process if that's feasible (e.g., the CWG effort is known well in advance) Terri Agnew:Welcome Alan Greenberg Terri Agnew:Cheryl has rejoined on audio Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):the oporator hears me just fine!!!! Alan Greenberg:Srry for being late. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):I am tlking Mary Wong:FWIW staff doew not recommend that our WG write or recommend a specific budget process for CCWGs. Mary Wong:Outside of the "normal" community budget request noted aboev, that is. Alan Greenberg:My audio is horrible. Dialing back in Alan Greenberg:back Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):it is evaluation, ongoing evaluation and management of such funding that the "new system" with Mx approaches Mary Wong:Note that the GNSO's F2F WG meetings take place in conjunction with (a day before or after) an ICANN meeting. Not intersessionally. Mary Wong:And not all WGs get a F2F meeting; it is a specific consieration/seleection made by the GNSO Council. Alan Greenberg:@Mary, presuming that such adjunct meetings are still allowed Mary Wong:@Alan, true - but at the moment the concern that has been raised in the GNSO is just in connection with Meeting B. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Alan the estemates . budgetry process we are working with the ICNN FINANCE SC on for the Accountability WS2 progrmme *does* include costs estimates right down to staff FTE commitments Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):disected by qtr! Alan Greenberg:Yes Cheryl, I am aware of that. But I think at the level of the WG, we need to differentiate between the two types of "extraordinary" expenditires. Alan Greenberg:As ALAC Chair, I have *NO* money that I can allocate to WGs. I think thatthe same is true for the GNSO and ccNSO. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):if activity in a CWG becomes a "cost' to an AC or SO that is another issue altogether Mary Wong:The GNSO WG Guidelines currently allow for the WG to request approval/funding for subject matter experts and briefings, on an as-needed basis. There is also the F2F one-day meetings that Alan is mentioning that are specifically approved by the GNSO Council for particular WGs at critical points in their deliberations (but limited funding goes to that because these have been "attached" to ICANN meetings to date). Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):ALAC does not have that srt of descretion Jim Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Alan has been fighting that battle for some tme recently Mary Wong:@Alan, the Chartering Orgs could always collaborate on a Community Budget Request for any particular Financial Year for a CCWG. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):issues will turn up oit of "budget Cycle" Mary Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):out of Mary Wong:@Cheryl, true, but then it may be for the COs to collaborate on any additional request out of cycle they believe a CCWG might need at that point. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):and that should probably work along the same lnes as the *new* until now untied method of a collaborative approach with WG Leadership and key staff to wotk with ICANN Finance and or Board to do estimates and budgets Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):and we could jusst reference that Mary Wong:@Cheryl, yes. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Bye for now then Bart Boswinkel:Bye all

Mary Wong:Avri sent me an email saying she would be late due to another call. Mary Wong:@Cheryl, sorry about the time - if it helps, it's 2 a.m. here in Singapore! Mary Wong:CONGRATS BECKY!!! Becky Burr:apologies, need to figure out how to turn the mic on. thanks everyone. Terri Agnew:Becky, private AC chat you with directions how to activate Steve Chan:I can see it as well Jim Galvin:I do not see in the AdobeConnect but I do have a separate copy open locally. Alan Greenberg:Not here! Becky Burr:likewise, I don't see it in Adobe Terri Agnew:you may need to update your Adobe connect plug in's with this link: http://tinyurl.com/icannactest Ensure all 3 steps pass. On the fourth step, install the add-on. This will run adobe connect outside of the web browser. Adobe connect prefers Firefox browser. Jim Galvin:I now see it in Adobe. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Happy to reinforce the language.... I think it is a poivotsl point Bart Boswinkel:This could also be re-inforced by combining this notion with stonger langauge around need for internal rules for a group to be agreed up before the actual work starts Mary Wong:@Bart, yes, absolutely. Mary Wong:In that regard, this group will also need to consider the feedback that seems to indicate little support for more formal operational rules n the Framework, but to include any such that are necessary in the Charter for the CCWG in question. Bart Boswinkel:Yes, and their is a difernce between the CCWG and CWG Terri Agnew:Welcome Avri Avri Doria:thanks Terri, sorry i am late. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Perfect Mary Some can be To be used unless otherwise ... ... ... in the Charter etc., Becky Burr:I agree John - I don't feel the need to do that Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Agree Alan Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):YES Jim thus our use of Principles nd Guidelines... Bart Boswinkel:ORiginally when this group started there were two outstanding core principles for a CCWG: one charter explicitly adopted by two or more SO/AC Bart Boswinkel: and the fumnal product wouldbe approved by the chartering organisations. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Future MAY bring new Interpretations of such Frameworks Mary Wong:Some of the comments on implementatin are reflected starting at the bottom of Page 10 of he Tabular Summary. Bart Boswinkel:It could be if charterd by the chartering organisations to do so Bart Boswinkel:at the time of adoption of the recomendation Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):I AGree with you Avri this is essential Bart Boswinkel:AS AVRi says it couldbe part of the recommendations to the chartering organisations Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):The work from te Implementation WG was pretty clear on this John Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): AAnd in the current CWG/CCWG we have activly ensured tht we have close input from ley people from the WG's to work with Implementation Mary Wong:An IRT can (should?) be separate from the CCWG; it's just composed partly of intersted CCWG memebrs. So a CCWG can (should?) be closed once its recommendations are completed/adopted. Mary Wong:Note also the RySG comments that (per Cheryl) the recommendations on implementation from the Policy & Implementation WG may be worth considering. John Berard:is there a term of art for a WG going into suspended animation? Mary Wong:AFAIK, no Alan Greenberg:It may choose to remain in place pending adoption by the Board and implementation. Mary Wong:Not policy, at least, not policy that is within the remit of a SO :) Bart Boswinkel:That assumes the chair and co-chair remain active Bart Boswinkel:as soon as a wg clsoes they are in-active Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Fair point Bart... but then we ned to replace them with competant alterntes Alan Greenberg:I have to drop off now. Good meeting. Bart Boswinkel:Going back to Jim's point and the drift of John's argument Mary Wong:Thanks Alan Mary Wong:Sevearl commenters seemed to think we need more clarity.. Mary Wong:It looks like there will be a Helsinki session. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Thanks everyone great progress ... good call ... Talk soon, catch up soon to plan for Helsinki. docs soon aafter some of you gather in Amsterdam please... Jim Galvin:WHen will we meet again? Jim Galvin:@mary thanks!

by Mary Wong Feb. 10, 2016

Feb. 10, 2016

Dear CWG members, To follow up on the call that was held last week, here is the amended timeline that was discussed; you’ll see that we have allowed for one additional CWG call (on 11 February) as well as an open community session during ICANN55 in Marrakech, which will be during the public comment period we hope to open for our Framework document. 21 January – CWG call to discuss any concerns/comments about the updated draft Framework document 5 February – deadline for final CWG comments 11 February – CWG call to discuss additional concerns raised between 21 January and 5 February 19 February – publication of Framework document for public comment, for the prescribed 40 day period (unless the CWG or the ccNSO or GNSO Councils request an extension); document will also be sent to all other ICANN SO/ACs to alert them to the proposed recommendations and to seek feedback 6-10 March – ICANN55 (schedule a community session to present and discuss community feedback on the Framework document) 30 March – close of public comment period; Framework to be updated if necessary based on public comments received Mid-April – updated Framework document sent to CWG for final approval End-April – final Framework document sent to ccNSO and GNSO Councils (the Chartering Organizations for our CWG) May/June – consideration and adoption of Framework by ccNSO and GNSO Councils For your convenience, the draft Framework document is appended to this email. Besides cleaning up some formatting, grammatical and typographical errors, we have also added language in a few places in Section 3 to reflect the discussion on the CWG call last week – these additions can be seen as “redlined” markup text in the attachment. Please also note that Section 4 contains a number of open questions for which your feedback will be helpful. You may also, as a CWG, decide to seek public comment on some of these questions as well. We will send around call-in details for the proposed CWG call on 11 February shortly.

LAST CALL before posting for public comments: updated draft Framework of Principles document
by Mary Wong Feb. 8, 2016

Feb. 8, 2016

Dear CWG members, As a follow up to my email of 27 January (see further below), I’m writing to ask if you have any other comments or suggestions on the updated Framework of Principles document that was also sent around at the same time, reflecting changes suggested on the January call. You’ll see from the suggested timeline that we are aiming to publish the document for public comment on 19 February and as such will need to have an agreed version before then. If, however, there are no further edits, we can cancel the CWG call currently scheduled for this Thursday 11 February and publish the document “as is” for public comment. If we do so, we will of course note that the final version of the Framework will take into account further comments from CWG members as well as the community, and we will also specifically request feedback on the open questions contained in Section 4. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: mary.wong(a)icann.org Telephone: +1-603-5744889 From: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org<mailto:mary.wong@icann.org>> Date: Wednesday, January 27, 2016 at 02:50 To: "cwg-framework-principles(a)icann.org<mailto:cwg-framework-principles@icann.org>" <cwg-framework-principles(a)icann.org<mailto:cwg-framework-principles@icann.org>> Subject: Proposed timeline and updated draft Framework of Principles document Dear CWG members, To follow up on the call that was held last week, here is the amended timeline that was discussed; you’ll see that we have allowed for one additional CWG call (on 11 February) as well as an open community session during ICANN55 in Marrakech, which will be during the public comment period we hope to open for our Framework document. 21 January – CWG call to discuss any concerns/comments about the updated draft Framework document 5 February – deadline for final CWG comments 11 February – CWG call to discuss additional concerns raised between 21 January and 5 February 19 February – publication of Framework document for public comment, for the prescribed 40 day period (unless the CWG or the ccNSO or GNSO Councils request an extension); document will also be sent to all other ICANN SO/ACs to alert them to the proposed recommendations and to seek feedback 6-10 March – ICANN55 (schedule a community session to present and discuss community feedback on the Framework document) 30 March – close of public comment period; Framework to be updated if necessary based on public comments received Mid-April – updated Framework document sent to CWG for final approval End-April – final Framework document sent to ccNSO and GNSO Councils (the Chartering Organizations for our CWG) May/June – consideration and adoption of Framework by ccNSO and GNSO Councils For your convenience, the draft Framework document is appended to this email. Besides cleaning up some formatting, grammatical and typographical errors, we have also added language in a few places in Section 3 to reflect the discussion on the CWG call last week – these additions can be seen as “redlined” markup text in the attachment. Please also note that Section 4 contains a number of open questions for which your feedback will be helpful. You may also, as a CWG, decide to seek public comment on some of these questions as well. We will send around call-in details for the proposed CWG call on 11 February shortly.
