I dont understand how the group can function for a month without a chair. Also, I dont think we will fail finding a good chair among the already existing members. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Tijani BEN JEMAA Executive Director Mediterranean Federation of Internet Associations (FMAI) Phone: + 216 41 649 605 Mobile: + 216 98 330 114 Fax: + 216 70 853 376 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- De : gnso-newgtld-dg-bounces@icann.org [mailto:gnso-newgtld-dg-bounces@icann.org] De la part de Stephane Van Gelder Envoyé : mercredi 6 août 2014 13:56 À : Michele Neylon - Blacknight Cc : gnso-newgtld-dg@icann.org Objet : Re: [Gnso-newgtld-dg] Agenda for First Meeting of the Discussion Group for New gTLD Subsequent Rounds Michele's suggestion makes sense. Unless there's a feeling the group cannot function for a month absent leadership, which I would find surprising. Best.

The proposed agenda is: * Roll Call / Statements of Interest Suggestion: only reading SoI for people that do not have GNSO SOIs (or have updates to), to shorten up this part. * Applicability of ICANN principles of transparency and openness * Items for initial review - GNSO Resolution forming this group, GNSO Working Group Guidelines, GNSO Policy Development Process (to serve as a reference point for the DG) * Discussion of Work Plan Review of Interim Chair's Draft Work Plan and discussion of alternatives and tools for completing work * Election of DG Leaders The DG may elect to have co-chairs or vice-chairs. Once selected, the DG Chair(s) will need to be confirmed by the GNSO Council. May I suggest that no attempt to see vice-chairs as representation of that constituency in the group ? It's so much simpler to have 2 (either chair/vice-chair, co-chair/co-chair, chair/alternate chair) leaders instead of a complex structure... since *-chairs only have coordination but no definition role, it's of no use to see too much into the roles.
