WG Self-Assessment Questionnaire (Draft v3)
by Ken Bour July 5, 2013

July 5, 2013

SCI Team Members: After our last teleconference (2 July), I continued my own evaluation of the questionnaire looking for ways to sharpen and improve it including addressing your feedback received thus far. I developed a new Draft v3 for your review at: https://community.icann.org/x/eEZ-Ag. In this version of the questionnaire, I made the following substantive changes: 1. The "Expertise" question (Section II) was modified in an attempt to address Ron's observation about the expected variability in team members' knowledge/skill. 2. Tangential to Ron's concern, I added a new disclaimer in the note just before Section II to explain how respondents might approach the challenge of assigning individual ratings to complex dimensions. 3. In Section V, I substituted "Engagement" for "Participation" and changed the wording of the first question to address Wolf-Ulrich's feedback entered as a comment to Draft v2. 4. I elected to break out Personal Dimensions and Demographics into two independent sections. Each one represents a logically distinct category; furthermore, the table headings simply did not apply correctly to the Demographics questions. 5. Added a third question to the Personal Dimensions which I labeled "Willingness-to-Serve" for want of a better noun. This question seeks to understand whether the WG experience influences one's propensity to serve again in the future assuming all other conditions (e.g., topic, need/fit, availability) are favorable. In other words, are we systematically building or eroding volunteer capacity? I look forward to your feedback on this third iteration of the WG Self-Assessment instrument. As you may know, I will not be present in Durban; however, if the team wishes to continue working on this project and would like my involvement, I am willing to join in any/all sessions remotely if technical conditions (e.g., room connections) permit. Regards, Ken

Tomorrow's Conference Call
by Ken Bour July 2, 2013

July 2, 2013

SCI Team Members: I noticed that a 10 minute agenda item has been scheduled to discuss the Working Group Self-Assessment. I have sent two emails to the SCI List in which I described progress toward the development of an assessment instrument, which are located on ICANN's Community Wiki: 1) 10 June (Original Draft) 2) 12 June (Draft v2) There has been some feedback and follow-up discussion on the SCI List about these versions which I hope you have time to review. For technical reasons, Julie does not think that she will be able to link directly to the Wiki pages during the Adobe call and asked me to remind you to look at the following links, if you can, prior to the call tomorrow. . The main WG Assessments page is located under the GNSO tab, Working Group Resources space: https://community.icann.org/x/2Cp-Ag . The latest version of the questionnaire (v2) is located here: https://community.icann.org/x/bC5-Ag In just 10 minutes, there won't be adequate time to walk through all of the material I have developed (e.g., Design Considerations <https://community.icann.org/x/USt-Ag> , Learning Objectives <https://community.icann.org/x/hit-Ag> ). Unless I hear differently, I plan to dive right into the Draft v2 design that represents my latest thinking on the subject and incorporates feedback that I have received from a few SCI members. Thanks, Ken Bour

by Julie Hedlund July 2, 2013

July 2, 2013

Dear SCI members, As discussed on today's call, we will continue discussion on the list on re-submission of a motion. There was agreement on option 2 (see below), but not on which criteria to include (see comments from Anne and James in their emails below). Please send your comments to the list. This also will be on the agenda at our next meeting. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director Procedure for Re-Submission of a Motion: Option 2 -- Set one or more high-level criteria (in this order): 1) Provide a reasoning to justify the resubmission of a motion. Complete no later than the deadline for submitting a motion -- 8 days prior to the next GNSO Council meeting. 2) Publish the text of the re-submitted motion. Complete no later than the deadline for submitting a motion -- 8 days prior to the next GNSO Council meeting. 3) Require a seconder of the motion from each house as a prerequisite for placing the re-submission of the motion on the consent agenda. 4) Allow a councilor to ask for the re-submission of the motion to be taken off the consent agenda and to request a Council vote on whether to accept the re-submission. --------------------------------------------------------------- From: <Aikman-Scalese>, Anne <AAikman(a)lrlaw.com <mailto:AAikman@lrlaw.com> > Date: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 2:42 PM To: Ron Andruff <randruff(a)rnapartners.com <mailto:randruff@rnapartners.com> >, James Bladel <jbladel(a)godaddy.com <mailto:jbladel@godaddy.com> >, "gnso-improvem-impl-sc(a)icann.org <mailto:gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org> " <gnso-improvem-impl-sc(a)icann.org <mailto:gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org> > Cc: 'Jennifer Standiford' <JStandiford(a)web.com <mailto:JStandiford@web.com> > Subject: RE: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] REMINDER Re: Action item from SCI Meeting 06 March Re-Submitting a Motion Ron, I had wanted to report to SCI that in its full meeting in Beijing, the IPC agreed to the first two criteria listed in Item 2 of the "one or more high level criteria" to be set for resubmitting a motion.

We can report that RrSG members strongly favor Option #2. Additionally, Registrars agree with the proposed criteria listed, -except- for item #2.4, which they note could be redundant if Items #2.1-#2.3 are followed. Finally, RrSG members would like to see the inclusion of some limitations (per year or minimum time frame) on how frequently a motion may be re-introduced. We look forward to further discussions on our next call. Thanks-- J.

Draft v2-WG Self-Assessment Questionnaire
by Ken Bour June 26, 2013

June 26, 2013

SCI Members: I have been thinking about the topics raised by Mikey and Avri in their first impressions of the Draft Self-Assessment Questionnaire. Something was definitely missing from the original formulation, which led to an “Aha!” moment spurring me to create a second design which, I hope, addresses a few of the comments expressed thus far. I have reconstituted the questionnaire (still five sections but renamed), reorganized some of the original questions, and added a few new ones. In order not to lose track of the first iteration, I made a completely new page and will henceforth house all questionnaire versions under a new heading: Questionnaire Drafts/Versions (https://community.icann.org/x/ai5-Ag) In this new Draft v2 iteration (https://community.icann.org/x/bC5-Ag) I am attempting to take into consideration the dimension raised by Mikey that was only partially accommodated in Draft v1. To evaluate any dynamic system, we could subdivide it into three basic or core components: Inputs → Processes → Outputs. In the first version, I captured many of the processes, the outputs, but only a few of the inputs, namely, team member representativeness, tools, and outside experts. I did not ask about the other critical inputs that impinge upon the success of a WG, e.g., its charter/mission (including time or other constraints) and team member expertise. That led to a reconceptualization of the external resources questions into three buckets: administrative, technical, and human. This Draft v2 also shifts the rating scale to 7 points and adds “Background Contributor” to the Role list as suggested by Avri. I thank Mikey and Avri for their ideas/suggestions and look forward to additional feedback from the team… Ken
