RE: [gnso-irtpc] Invitation to Participate in Survey on Working Group Guidelines
by Ron Andruff March 11, 2013

March 11, 2013

Dear Alain, Thank you for your thoughtful and informative comments. Mikey is right when he says dont worry, we all went through this. All of the old-timers as well as newcomers have experienced feeling this huge chasm of lack of information and fear of speaking up for perhaps sounding foolish And you are correct to a certain extent that there is some merit in growing in ICANN through putting in the years, but with the maturing organization we have today, with all the newcomers, we simply dont have enough mentors to do the job effectively. So now is a good time to address this issue and I believe that the tool kit that we and staff have been talking about for what feels like a long time is within our grasp. An organization can only function effectively when all members are versed in the distinct language of the organization, in my view. The other issue that you touched on made me aware that it seems to be a recurring one amongst all of the volunteers of ICANN and that is our mutual attraction to the great experiment of the multi-stakeholder model. For my part, that is one of the most exciting parts of ICANN and what has kept me in this community for some 13 years or so. It is obviously the same for you, someone more new to the community. So maybe you have identified the glue that brings this disparate community together If everyone kept that element at the forefront of their thoughts when engaging in ICANN work, we would probably have a lot less friction in the organization and find our way to more effective bottom-up decision-making. Thanks again for bringing these ideas to light. Very helpful. Kind regards, RA Ronald N. Andruff RNA <http://www.rnapartners.com> Partners, Inc. _____ From: owner-gnso-irtpc(a)icann.org [mailto:owner-gnso-irtpc@icann.org] On Behalf Of Alain Berranger Sent: Monday, March 11, 2013 11:16 AM To: Ron Andruff Cc: gnso-irtpc(a)icann.org; Julie Hedlund Subject: Re: [gnso-irtpc] Invitation to Participate in Survey on Working Group Guidelines Hi Ron, I think the survey is just fine to improve/refine the current WG guidelines (For me they do the job in the main, so I think it is more about refining). In my opinion and related to this, I think that what needs attention at ICANN (among many things) is a broader subject than refining the WG guidelines. I am thinking of a more systematic manner for ICANN to get the various categories of newcomers up the learning curve (I know many are working on this - witness inter alia the ICANN Academy discussions - they seem to have fallen of the radar!..and of course the Fellowship Program is quite effective I think). Understanding the stakeholders' landscape and their learning needs requires a thorough analysis of our various stakeholders profiles, their ICANN-related motivation, and basically an understanding of their training needs. If we meet those training needs (in many different ways I suppose), then we will optimize the value, the reality, the sustainability and the functionning of the multi-stakeholder model. Of course, I am of the school of ardent supporters of the MS model as a key distinguishing feature of ICANN and maybe even its key to long-term growth and sustainability. Indeed, I am of the opinion that participating in a WG is a great way to learn (and network to learn) but it is a time-consuming one and seen as risky for many new stakeholders (time commitment, fear of the unknown and of rejection, etc...). When faced with this, and after getting to know Mikey in San José after having joined the IRTP-Part C WG with the view of learning, Mikey told me something like: "don't be discouraged, welcome to the club, we all went through this, it takes at least 2 years, etc...". Beacuse of Mikey's advice, and at time mentoring, I am sticking to the plan, but sure would welcome so learning opportunities a bit more structured! (Thanks Mikey for all the time you have given me!). That said, I wonder now really if this is the better way to go... pay your dues kind of argument... I think that leads to a kind of strong commitment if ones sticks to the strategy, but how many do? and at what cost? I am of the opinion there could be a more systematic way for newcomers to go through some learning modules in a certain systematic order, rather than ad hoc diving in the website or wikipedia, ICANN meetings, WGs...

FOR REVIEW: Invite re: Survey on Working Group Guidelines
by Julie Hedlund March 9, 2013

March 9, 2013

Dear Ron and SCI members, Below for your review is a draft email to go from Ron Andruff to the IRTP Part C Working Group. As the SCI agreed, it would be helpful for a Working Group that recently completed its work to take the survey. The IRTP-C Working Group was suggested as an option. James Bladel and Avri Doria were the Co-Chairs of the IRTP-C Working Group. Perhaps James and Avri could indicate on this list whether they agree with this approach. If so, below is a draft message to go from Ron to the Working Group list for your consideration.

FW: [council] For Information - GNSO "Basics" Materials

Dear SCI members, As the need for more information for councilors and community members was a topic of a comment on the Working Group Guidelines Survey and also has been mentioned a few times on the SCI list, you may be interested in the update from Rob Hoggarth below. Also, the question arose yesterday about where one can find the GNSO Council Operating Procedures. These may be accessed as follows: 1. From the ICANN main page at: http://www.icann.org/ click on the Groups tab on the top menu bar 2. From the Groups page click on the GNSO tab on the menu bar on the left-hand side of the page 3. From the GNSO page at: http://gnso.icann.org/en/ click on the Council Activities tab on the top menu bar and scroll down to click on Procedures On the Procedures page you will find the latest version of the GNSO Council Operating Procedures and latest links. For faster access you may wish to bookmark this page: Current GNSO Operating Procedures and Related Documents * GNSO Operating Procedures v2.5 (13 September 2012)<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/gnso-operating-procedures-13sep12-en.pdf> * ANNEX 1: GNSO Working Group Guidelines<http://gnso.icann.org/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-08apr11-en.pdf> (separately downloadable PDF) * ANNEX 2: Policy Development Process Manual<http://gnso.icann.org/council/annex-2-pdp-manual-16dec11-en.pdf> (separately downloadable PDF) * GNSO Working Group Guidelines Summary<http://gnso.icann.org/council/summary-gnso-wg-guidelines-06apr11-en.pdf> * APPENDIX 1: GNSO Council Voting Results Table<http://gnso.icann.org/council/appendix-1-gnso-council-voting-results-08apr1…> This separately downloadable PDF has been developed for Council use and shows the exact number of votes needed in each House for every threshold that has been approved.

I am pleased to report that we have completed the first set of materials and are readying to post them on the updated "Basics" page of GNSO.icann.org. Rather than fill your mailbox with all six modules at once, I have posted them to the GNSO Council Resources wiki page at - https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocounres/General . The redesigned GNSO Basics page - http://newgnso.icann.org/en/basics/getting-started – should be up on the GNSO web site within a few days. We hope it will be a helpful resource. Please feel free to access the new materials from the wiki attachment links and offer any comments in the space. Staff is particularly interested in hearing about any new/additional topics that you think should get the "basic" treatment. Best regards, Rob
