Upcoming interviews - who is coming?
by kurt kjpritz.com July 2, 2025

July 2, 2025

Hi Board Readiness'ers: I hope you are all doing well: Two things: First, here is the list of upcoming interviews with those who have confirmed attendance. So that we can plan the interviewers / note takers, please let us know if you are planning to attend. (I apologise that the times listed are Brisbane times but I think you know when the interviews are in your tome zone by the interviewee. I am in UTC+10hours.) Interview Schedule Tue, 24 Jun, 6AM (UTC+10 - Brisbane) Roger Carney (Thomas, Kurt) Thu, 3 July, 2AM Paul McGrady (Prudence, Kurt) Tue, 8 Jul, 11PM Jeff Neuman (Justine, Prudence, Kurt) Wed, 9 Jul, 6AM Cheryl Langdon-Orr (Susan, Kurt) Mon, 14 Jul 11PM Becky Burr (Justine, Prudence, Kurt) Tue, 15 Jul. 11PM Christa Taylor (Justine, Prudence, Kurt) Prudence, can you take the lead on interviewing Paul McGrady? Also, please complete the poll for Marc Trachtenberg: https://doodle.com/group-poll/participate/dy23PLwe Second, I have had a request to be interviewed by the former Chair of the IDN EPDP. I hope you don’t think it inappropriate by me raising this with this team. While the Board hasn’t rejected any of the IDN EPDP recommendations, that team did have considerable interactions with the Board as they worked. It is potentially valuable to our study to see how that worked / didn’t work / avoided obviating the bottom-up process. On this second thing, let me know what you think. Best regards, Kurt

Hi Justine (& everyone): See email and attachment below. Sorry I did not copy you on this set of questions tailored for Board members. Regards, Kurt Begin forwarded message: From: kurt kjpritz.com <kurt(a)kjpritz.com> Subject: Re: Interview request - PDPs & Board Readiness Date: 8 June 2025 at 2:26:56 pm AEST To: Becky Burr <becky.burr(a)board.icann.org> Cc: GNSO-Secs <gnso-secs(a)icann.org> Hi Becky: I made an adjustment to the information packet that I sent earlier. Our team had developed a separate set of questions for Board members / liaisons, as opposed to those who were on the PDP team. I have added those questions to this packet. As with other Board member participants, we expect the questions to diverge from the planned list, once the conversations starts. As with other Board member participants. I have also included (retained) the questions to be asked of the PDP team as a reference for you. Let me know if I have confused you or if you have any other questions. As I mentioned earlier, the ICANN staff support will be after you to arrange a time.

I am writing to see if you are willing to be interviewed by a small team of GNSO Counsellors, who are investigating whether PDP processes can be amended in any way to improve chances of Board approval. (We call it “Board Readiness.”) In this case, we’ll be focused on the Subsequent Procedures PDP. It’s been some time but I am sure you remember your experiences there in a way that would be helpful to the study. The interviews generally take between 45 minutes and an hour, and, in any case, are limited to one hour. I have attached an “information packet” that might help you prepare. It includes a brief review of the EPDP history, the Board rejection reasoning, and a list of questions that we will follow in the interview. There are likely to be a few supplemental questions based on your responses and areas of interest that arise. If you agree, the ICANN Policy Support Team (copied here) will work with you to find convenient times. (If you think you might find time during the ICANN meeting, please let us know that.) We have completed an initial set of interviews with those who participated in the Registration Data (Phases I&II) EPDP and so have some practice. If you have any questions, you can reply to me or to gnso-board-readiness-smallteam(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-board-readiness-smallteam@icann.org>. Thank you again for considering to participate. Your input will be valuable to the study. Best regards, Kurt <SubPro PDP-information packet(v2).pdf>

Board readiness - Revised interviewee packet
by kurt kjpritz.com June 26, 2025

June 26, 2025

Hi All: You might remember that, after a trial interview with Susan, we thought that the questions should be amended in some way. The amendments I am suggesting here, apply to the first question about “surprise.” Under the initial brand question, I ask the interviewee to consider if s/he was surprised about pended or rejected recommendations for different “categories” of rejection: cost, Bylaw violation, need to consult with the GAC, wording clarification. I also slightly recorded some of the other questions to make them more germane to SubPro. Please read the page of questions and see if this makes sense to you. Staff comments very welcome. Thanks very much. Kurt
