I am still unclear about how these DTs are being created. The
guidelines published on https://community.icann.org/x/pAknAw say the
following:
Composition
The proposal for a Design Team must
include:
- A lead participant responsible for
delivering the work product to the CWG
- A list of potential participants as well
as their Statement of Interest (SOI) and qualification for the
design team (1 paragraph)
The Design Team Lead is responsible for
coordinating the work, updating the CWG at its weekly meetings
and most importantly delivering the results.
Unless there are clear requirements to the
contrary a Design Team should typically involve [5] participants
but not more than [7].
Yet, I do not understand how the "list of potential participants" is
put together. Is there a public call for participants? If there
isn't then how is someone to know this DT is being created? Indeed,
absent a call for participants, I would say we run the risk of
creating unbalanced Design Teams. I totally understand the skillsets
needed for the Design Teams but when I say "unbalanced", I mean that
a group of people wishing to push one particular agenda forward
could create a Design Team.
I would therefore appreciate clarification from the Co-Chairs
regarding the "list of potential participants".
Kindest regards,
Olivier
