by Nathalie Peregrine Feb. 27, 2018

Feb. 27, 2018

Dear all, The one-stop wiki page for all your Remote Participation queries is now available. This wiki page covers remote participation details for all GNSO open and public meetings. In addition to this, ICANN meetings’ team has put together a new ICANN meeting website which allows you to download all GNSO-related meetings to your inbox calendar in one go. 2 LINKS TO BOOKMARK NOW: ICANN61 Meeting Schedule[61.schedule.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__61.schedule.icann.org_…> GNSO Remote Participation wiki page[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…> Step 1 – Create a profile and your personalized ICANN61 schedule Go to the Meeting Schedule webpage and create a profile and login. Every session on the schedule can be selected and added to your individual schedule by clicking the Add box to the bottom right of each meeting, this adds it to your individual schedule which you can then email to yourself or add to your calendar. See next step. Step 2 - There are two ways to import your schedule into Outlook: once you’ve added all your chosen meetings to “My Schedule” go to Export. 1. Importing creates a one-time snapshot of your schedule and copies it into Outlook. If you subsequently make changes to your Pathable calendar, they will not be reflected in Outlook. 2. Subscribing creates a live feed of your schedule in Outlook. Outlook checks for changes every few hours and updates your calendar appropriately. * For Outlook calendars: http://support.pathable.com/knowledgebase/articles/81449-moving-your-schedu…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__support.pathable.com_kn…> * For Google calendars: http://support.pathable.com/knowledgebase/articles/1313-moving-your-schedul…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__support.pathable.com_kn…> Step 3 All Adobe Connect rooms (which can be found on the session information on the Meeting Schedule<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__61.schedule.icann.org_…> and on the GNSO Remote Participation wiki page<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…>) will provide audio streaming only Adobe Connect room microphones will not be enabled.

by George Kirikos Feb. 12, 2018

Feb. 12, 2018

Hi folks, FYI, attached is my Reply to the January 16, 2018 Response from the Co-Chairs (which responded to my January 11, 2018 appeal document). The appeal is now in the hands of the GNSO Council Chair (or her designated representative), and perhaps ultimately GNSO Council. Sincerely, George Kirikos 416-588-0269 http://www.leap.com/

Re: [Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Statement from the Co-Chairs
by Mary Wong Feb. 4, 2018

Feb. 4, 2018

Hello Phil and everyone, Staff has provided the GNSO Council leadership and the Council liaison to this PDP with copies of the email exchanges that took place this week on our mailing list, as well as a copy of the co-chairs’ 31 January proposal, as requested by Phil. We understand that the GNSO Chair, Dr Heather Forrest, is away next week so it is probable that we will not receive her response before her return. In the meantime, we invite Working Group members who have not yet weighed in on the question as to whether you support (or not) the use of a community facilitator to indicate your preference via this mailing list. Thank you. Cheers Mary and Steve From: Gnso-igo-ingo-crp <gnso-igo-ingo-crp-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of "Corwin, Philip via Gnso-igo-ingo-crp" <gnso-igo-ingo-crp(a)icann.org> Reply-To: "Corwin, Philip" <pcorwin(a)verisign.com> Date: Saturday, February 3, 2018 at 09:39 To: "gnso-igo-ingo-crp(a)icann.org" <gnso-igo-ingo-crp(a)icann.org> Subject: [Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Statement from the Co-Chairs The co-chairs are extremely disappointed by Mr. Kirikos’ rejection of what we believe is a very reasonable compromise proposal regarding a path forward for this WG. That proposal withdraws the request that the poll sought by the co-chairs to assist them in performing their Guideline duties be anonymous, and accepts consideration of his proposal (subject to WG support) for a facilitated session in which maximum participation of WG members will be encouraged. A review of the transcript of the January 18th call held between the co-chairs shows that there was no agreement on every element of a path forward, only an agreement to vet the concept of a facilitated session with the full WG. As noted from page 32 of the transcript, Mr. Kirikos - at least at the time of the second call - seemed to accept such way to move forward[1]. Notwithstanding Mr. Kirikos’ decision to reject our compromise offer and continue his section 3.7 appeal, the co-chairs continue to encourage feedback from other members on our proposal and thank those who have already responded. ICANN 61 is just five weeks away, and the co-chairs are concerned that further substantial delay in resolving the 3.7 appeal will make it logistically impossible to secure the assistance of a community facilitator for the WG’s session there if there is overall WG support for that approach. We will therefore request that staff provide the GNSO Council Chair with a copy of our compromise proposal, copies of Mr. Kirikos’ email responses on the WG list, a copy of this further response from the co-chairs, and copies of feedback on our proposal from other WG members -- along with a request from the co-chairs that the Council Chair or her designated representative decide his appeal as expeditiously as possible. Those materials will make clear that the issue of an anonymous poll is no longer in dispute, and that the appeal is now confined to an objection to the co-chairs’ exercise of their discretion to utilize a public and transparent poll of WG members to assist us in proposing consensus levels and initiate the consensus call process recommended in section 3.6 of the Guidelines, as well as address any potential allegations of WG “capture”. We thank WG members for their continued patience and feedback, and hope we can resume WG activities and complete our work as soon as possible and thereby conclude final recommendations on the topics of our WG.

Update on appeal filed under Section 3.7 of the Working Group Guidelines
by Mary Wong Feb. 1, 2018

Feb. 1, 2018

Dear all, For your information, the second call between George Kirikos (who filed the appeal under Section 3.7 of the GNSO Working Group Guidelines) and Working Group co-chairs Phil Corwin and Petter Rindforth took place on Thursday 18 January. Also on the call were Paul Keating and Paul Tattersfield (Working Group members who supported George’s appeal) and ICANN Ombudsman Herb Waye (in an observer capacity). The recording and transcript of the call can be found on the Working Group wiki space here: https://community.icann.org/x/iAS8B. On the call, agreement was reached to take the suggestion of requesting a facilitator’s assistance to the Working Group. Staff has completed our action item from the call, which was to advise the GNSO Council leadership and Working Group liaison to remove the planned agenda item concerning Phil’s and Petter’s December 2017 request from the Council’s 30 January meeting agenda. We confirm that the Council’s agenda has been amended accordingly. We believe Phil and Petter will follow up with everyone on the mailing list. Thanks and cheers Mary and Steve
