Item 2. Update from
Sam Eisner (ICANN Legal) re: Briefing note on fiduciary and legal constraints
Item 3. Update from Erika and Russ review of public comments and identification of which items should be considered in relation to the development of the charter
Many of the comments fell into the category of not being
clearly an issue for either the DT or the subsequent CCWG. This has been noted
in each of the comments. Hope is that this will make it easier to take a view
on each comment. Additionally, legal involvement is required on several of
these issues. A number of the comments raised issues relating to 'guiding
principles' which should shape the process. Finally, this will require to be
considered by the DT as a whole.
Action items #1: (i) document to be uploaded as google doc by
staff, (ii) add additional column to allow for DT comments, (iii) DT to individually
review sub-team views and discuss at next meeting including identifying whether there is agreement/disagreement/supplement the sub-team view and considering where issues
should be dealt with in the charter.
Item 4. Review and
consideration of next steps in relation to charter section questions and
example language
Proposal for DT to discuss key issues on draft charter with
default approach on different questions identified to be provided by staff to serve as a strating point for discussion:
Action item #2: Staff to provide current default approach to different questions identified for different charter sections
Key issues to be determined:
- whether the sum of money is considered finite or additional funds may be added to in the future?;
- what principles (such as not constraining the CCWG too
closely, legal, fiduciary or other important criteria) does the DT wish to include in the charter to direct the CCWG in its work;
- consider whether to restrain the CWG to focus on developing the
process by which the money is dispensed, not on dispensing the money itself; and
- understand legal and financial constraints which must
apply to the use of these funds
Action item #3: Board liaisons to come back with legal (law and ICANN constitution) and other documentary (i.e. tax and financial report) constraints which apply and must be incorporated in the Charter as constraints that the CCWG will need to respect.
Item 5. Confirm
meeting schedule and discuss possible meeting in Helsinki
Agreed to skip meeting on 28 April to following week (5 May 2016 @ 1300 UTC) and
to meet for 2 hours. (12 May 2016 @ 2100 UTC to remain as scheduled)
