AW: CSG membership in SCI
by KnobenW＠telekom.de June 7, 2011

June 7, 2011

Hi Marika, you're right that there might be potential for different interpretation regarding the member structure as set in the charter which I'm convinced was never intended. In my understanding the term "SG" relates to the CPH structure and the term "constituency" to the NCPH. Membership is voluntary. E.g. the IPC did not yet join the team. This means that at present - members (primes + alternates) are counted for voting: 2 RySG, 2 RrSG, 2 NCUC, 2 BC, 2 ISPCP, 1 NCA; 11 in total - theoretically 2 IPC, 1 NCA-alternate could be added; then 14 in total We should clarify if there are different opinions. It was the common understanding of the team to hold the chair/VC election immediately. I think there is no need to wait for other groups who had already the opportunity to join. Nevertheless it's open to them to join the team at a time they prefer. Kind regards Wolf-Ulrich [WUK: ] ________________________________ Von: Marika Konings [mailto:marika.konings@icann.org] Gesendet: Montag, 6. Juni 2011 09:28 An: Knoben, Wolf-Ulrich Cc: Glen de Saint Géry Betreff: CSG membership in SCI Hi Wolf, Although I think it was the intend of the SCI drafting team to give each SG in the contracted party house and each constituency in the non-contracted party house a member on the SCI, the language as written says '1 representative from each constituency/SG'. As the NCSG has a representative, in addition to the NCUC, I presume that the same option is available to the CSG should it choose to do so. Has this been considered? Or alternatively, the SCI might need to clarify the intend of the language as it would give the non-contracted party house 6 members vs. 2 of the contracted party house, although at the same time the SCI is not a reflection of the Council structure. Also, I've asked Glen to send another reminder to the IPC in relation to their representatives on the SCI. Would it make sense to extend the timeline for the Chair / vice-Chair vote until the membership of the SCI is complete (or at least an indication of whether additional members are expected or not)? With best regards, Marika

Chair / ViceChair election
by KnobenW＠telekom.de June 5, 2011

June 5, 2011

All, at the meeting yesterday we agreed to elect a Chair and ViceChair by E-Mail voting. There are 3 candidates for either position: Avri, Philip and myself. My proposal for a (simple) election process: 1. all members (primes + alternates) shall have 1 vote; staff not included; makes 13 votes at the time being 2. Vote first for Chair; after Chair election vote for ViceChair 3. Chair election - simple majority vote - in case of a tie a 2nd round should decide by majority vote between the two tied 4. ViceChair election - between the 2 candidates left - simple majority vote Question: since this is a "Standing" committee which is supposed to exist on a longer term mshould we limit the Chair and ViceChair term? E.g. 2 years term with the eligibility for future terms. Glen may serve as the election "manager". Please comment. After having reached an agreement we should start the election. Kind regards Wolf-Ulrich

SCI 1st meeting
by KnobenW＠telekom.de June 3, 2011

June 3, 2011

All, The following is a short summary of the 1st SCI meeting: Time: 01 June, 18:00 - 19:00 UTC 1. Statements of Interest (SOI): it was agreed to use the online process recently developed by staff. Julie will inform the team once the wiki access rights are established. 2. Team organization: the WG guidelines recommend that a liaison to the chartering organisation (GNSO council) may be established which plays a "neutral" role. It was discussed whether this role could be taken by the SCI chair or another member in order to avoid potential conflict of interest. It was suggested to establish an informal link to the Board Structural Improvements Committee (SIC) which oversees the entire ICANN improvements activities. The chair shall contact the SIC once the working program is set up. 3. Chair / ViceChair election 3 candidates for either position: Avri, Philip, Wolf-Ulrich It was agreed to vote by E-Mail Note: An election process proposal was separately sent out for comments. 4. Regarding the working program the following points were made: - What and where are the trigger points for bringing the team to activity? - Voices were raised in favour of working in a reactive manner - a standardized way to "raise an issue" with respect to the rec's in scope should be established - conversation with WGs having finished their work should be carried out to find out benefits and malfunctions in the related processes - more detailed implementation status of the rec's in scope required - Chair and VC once elected should come up with a proposal for the work program The next meeting will take place at the ICANN meeting in Singapore. Kind regards Wolf-Ulrich
