Re: [CWG-Stewardship] Updated draft of responses in PTI Bylaws-AoI table
Hi, I assume it's the board votes that would determine who is more qualified and not any external sources, other than that, my +1 to Chuck's suggested edit.

Based on the discussions within the CWG, we propose the following course of action in order to get through the work as efficiently as possible. 1. Chairs will make a first attempt at answering / providing relevant input on the Sidley questions 2. Staff will review chairs’ input for consistency with the CWG meeting discussions 3. Answers / input to be shared with IOTF group for further review / development 4. Answers / input to be shared with CWG for further review / development 5. Answers / input to be shared via Client Committee with Sidley for incorporation into IANA Bylaws Thank-you Lise & Jonathan ------------------------------ I lean toward this approach. It seems to me that the PTI Board should have this authority on its own; also, it would cause delays if they had to wait to get ICANN approval, causing unnecessary delays. for so long as such powers were strictly limited according to the PTI mission/role etc. _______________________________________________ IOTF mailing list IOTF@icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/iotf -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Seun Ojedeji, Federal University Oye-Ekiti web: * *http://www.fuoye.edu.ng <http://www.fuoye.edu.ng> **Mobile: +2348035233535 <%2B2348035233535>* *alt email:seun.ojedeji@fuoye.edu.ng <email%3Aseun.ojedeji@fuoye.edu.ng>* Bringing another down does not take you up - think about your action! _______________________________________________ IOTF mailing list IOTF@icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/iotf _______________________________________________ CWG-Stewardship mailing list CWG-Stewardship@icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/cwg-stewardship _______________________________________________ CWG-Stewardship mailing list CWG-Stewardship@icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/cwg-stewardship
All, Thank-you for the additional thoughtful input. Lise and I have met to discuss these points and we feel that there is a delicate balance to manage here, taking account of key issues as follows: 1. This has been thoroughly discussed over a number of meetings (following the five step process outlined on 6 June 2016) 2. Key issues for many in the CWG are the very fine balance between independence of PTI and its legal affiliation to ICANN. The Nom Com selected appointees are seen by many as not necessarily being more “superior and trustworthy” as such but they are, by definition, independent of ICANN. It is this independence that is a key factor. 3. The opportunity for the CWG to draft specifications to the Nom Com for director qualifications thus ensuring relevant competence (including chair skills) of Nom Com selected nominee directors 4. Our timeline for conclusion (including the plan to publish bylaw documents for public comment imminently) 5. The opportunity for future review (in 2 years) On the basis of the above, we are proceeding as previously outlined.

All, Given point 1 &4 immediately below, Lise and I were reluctant to re-open this or any other point. However, having further reflected and discussed this, we can suggest an additional step. We propose to add a specific question to the PTI Bylaws Public Comment that seeks views on this point. We can ask for comment as to: whether: a. the PTI Chair must be selected by the board from the two nom com nominated directors OR b. should ideally be selected by the board from the two nom com nominated directors (unless neither is able to serve in that capacity or if one of the other directors (excluding the President) is best qualified for the role) Point (a) above ensures complete independence from ICANN but does not guarantee that the board elects the person whom they believe to be best qualified. Point (b) above ensures full confidence of the board in the chair. N.B. In any event, all directors have a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of PTI. Note that in the (b) scenario, the independent directors could effectively veto the chair since the ICANN nominated and appointed chair would (I assume) not have a vote in their own selection.

Lise and I have met to discuss these points and we feel that there is a delicate balance to manage here, taking account of key issues as follows: 1. This has been thoroughly discussed over a number of meetings (following the five step process outlined on 6 June 2016) 2. Key issues for many in the CWG are the very fine balance between independence of PTI and its legal affiliation to ICANN. The Nom Com selected appointees are seen by many as not necessarily being more “superior and trustworthy” as such but they are, by definition, independent of ICANN. It is this independence that is a key factor. 3. The opportunity for the CWG to draft specifications to the Nom Com for director qualifications thus ensuring relevant competence (including chair skills) of Nom Com selected nominee directors 4. Our timeline for conclusion (including the plan to publish bylaw documents for public comment imminently) 5. The opportunity for future review (in 2 years) On the basis of the above, we are proceeding as previously outlined.

I don't think i dig turning the nomcom nominees into the defacto source of chairperson-hood. It seem to me that we are seeing them as more superior and trustworthy that the rest which is not necessarily always the case. Ofcourse i am with the rest of the response to that question. Section 7.1: I am concerned by this conclusion "The Corporation will not need additional officers therefore the board does not need this capability." as i think its an unnecessary lock-in and can have unforeseen implications in future.

I don't think i dig turning the nomcom nominees into the defacto source of chairperson-hood. It seem to me that we are seeing them as more superior and trustworthy that the rest which is not necessarily always the case. Ofcourse i am with the rest of the response to that question. Section 7.1: I am concerned by this conclusion "The Corporation will not need additional officers therefore the board does not need this capability." as i think its an unnecessary lock-in and can have unforeseen implications in future. I will be fine with something that reads like below: "The Corporation should not need additional officers therefore the board may not need this capability. However such may be done with a unanimous votes from board subject to member(s) approval."

Bylaws-AoI table
All,
Thank-you for the additional thoughtful input.
Lise and I have met to discuss these points and we feel that there is a
delicate balance to manage here, taking account of key issues as follows:
1. This has been thoroughly discussed over a number of meetings
(following the five step process outlined on 6 June 2016)
2. Key issues for many in the CWG are the very fine balance between
independence of PTI and its legal affiliation to ICANN.
The Nom Com selected appointees are seen by many as not necessarily being more “superior and trustworthy” as such but they are, by definition, independent of ICANN. It is this independence that is a key factor.
3. The opportunity for the CWG to draft specifications to the Nom Com for director qualifications thus ensuring relevant competence (including chair skills) of Nom Com selected nominee directors
4. Our timeline for conclusion (including the plan to publish bylaw documents for public comment imminently)
5. The opportunity for future review (in 2 years)
On the basis of the above, we are proceeding as previously outlined.
Thank-you again,
Lise & Jonathan

Are you saying that you believe the chair must be one of the NomCom
appointees? If so, what if neither of the non-Nom nominated directors is as qualified as one of the ICANN appointed directors (excluding he PTI President) or if the NomCom nominated directors are not able to commit the extra time needed to be chair? Why limit the possibilities? It seems to me that we would want the best qualified leader to serve as Board chair.
I agree with Seun’s concern but I would be okay with language along this
line: “The Board chair should be one of the NomCom appointees unless they are unable to serve in that capacity or if one of the other directors (excluding the President) are more qualified.”

Good catch Chuck. Per your comment and Matthew’s agreement, I was supposed to delete the sentence beginning with “Member approval NOT required….”.
I’ll make the edit in the Google doc and await any further comments before circulating a new version in time for the CWG call.
Thank you,
Grace

The edits look good to me. Was the second option in Section 7.6.1 supposed to be deleted?
“Board may approve delegation of responsibilities or powers of President.
Member approval NOT required for the prescription of additional duties by the board to the President.[1] [2]
Member approval required for the prescription of additional powers by the board to the President.”

Dear all,
Per the discussion on today’s IOTF call, here attached is a redline version of the edits discussed on the call and a clean version to present to the CWG-Stewardship on Thursday. Thank you for your patience in the live editing process!
