Actions & Notes: GNSO PDP 3.0 Small Team Meeting 17 December 13:00 UTC
by Julie Hedlund Dec. 17, 2019

Dec. 17, 2019

Dear All, Please find below the action items and notes captured during the PDP 3.0 Small Team meeting on Tuesday, 17 December at 13:00-14:00 UTC. Staff has posted to the wiki space the action items and notes. Please note that these are high-level notes and are not meant as a substitute for the recording and chat room records, which are posted on the wiki at: https://community.icann.org/display/GCP/2019-12-17+PDP3.0. Best Regards, Julie == Actions: See the spreadsheet at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AXJnTP-xX6eQWRTeOMopFD-iUr1tlGA5uy-… ACTION: By 20 December – Review rows 13-28 of the spreadsheet and provide comments on the mailing list. Indicate whether you agree with the text in columns D, E, and F. Reference what row number you are commenting on. #2: A Comparison Table of Working Group Models ALAC Comment: ACTION: Re: Participation: As to making someone an observer if they aren’t actively participating – not comfortable with that; difficult to gauge what is active participation and what is not; seems arbitrary. Suggest we don’t adopt it. ACTION: Re: Enforcement Mechanism: Revise to make it less prescriptive – some kind a reminder but don’t say who will send it and link it to the SoP so it is enforceable. Give Council the flexibility for how to enforce this requirement. Change text in Column E to: “Reminders will be sent to non-active members.” Webinar Comment (Jeff Neuman): ACTION: Work on revised language for Columns D and F. #4 Capture vs. Consensus Playbook Webinar (Jeff Neuman): ACTION: Need further messaging and clarification concerning the Consensus Playbook. Notes: 1. Review scorecard of community input to PDP 3.0 implementation -- New text is in column D and E – so most of the spreadsheet is new. -- Highlight are actions for the Small Team to consider. -- Covered #1 last meeting. -- Separated each sentence into numbers. #2: A Comparison Table of Working Group Models: GAC Comment, Column E – Small Team Action: 1) In the implementation document, spell out SSC as "GNSO Council Standing Selection Committee" 2) In the implementation document, consider adding "to be confirmed by GNSO Council" in "Vice-Chair(s)/Co-Chair(s)" row for Option A and Option B 4) In the revised charter template, consider adding a section to include expectations / requirements for additional expertise for working group members -- Okay with suggested response and action. ALAC Comment, Column E -- Small Team Action: 1) - In the revised charter template, consider adding a section to include rationale for the working group model selection - In the implementation document, consider adding the following sentence in the "Membership" row for the "Open Model" in Table 1: "GNSO Secretariats will send periodic reminders to members who have not been active for some time to renew their Statement of Participation." - In the implementation document, consider adding the following sentence in the "participants" row for the "Representative & Open Model" in Table 1: "GNSO Secretariats will send periodic reminders to participants who have not been active for some time to renew their Statement of Participation." -- Giving rationale: always good for transparency. Periodic reminders: IF we do this, can we monitor it for effect? It's a fair amount of work so want to be sure that it is worthwhile. -- Is this sustainable for the Secretariat? We would have to discuss this. -- Realistically the Secretariat/Support Staff would have to hunt down members and not get responses. If we do this we should run a test period. You could do a lot of work that may not actually help. -- Sending lots of reminder messages is not a good idea. We could ask them to check the wiki. Use the wiki as a tool for reminders. -- An Open Model is open: there has never been a requirement for high attendance for participation. Some members may never attend meetings and instead listen to recordings and participate on the list. We probably should be better about doing reminders around critical points of a WG and better scope around who is going to be involved in determining consensus. There will probably be issues at the Council level to determine the best working model for a group. -- Perhaps what we may want to build into this, because this is such a transformative change, that we circle back in 6 months on this one – what worked and what didn’t work. -- Also there is a page of GNSO Calendar , where all willing parties could check what is going on. -- But isn't our SoP clear that we expect you to actually participate? Sending mails etc. = participating. Reserving the right to not bother turning up until 23:59 then demanding equal say does not = good cooperation to me. -- We need to consider this recommendation, we do not have to follow it. -- There's isn't an enforcement Berry as we said we couldn't force anyone to be an observer. -- Re: Reminders: Suggest that we could partially accept the recommendation on reminders – we could have the Chairs do it during the meeting. ACTION: Re: Participation: As to making someone an observer if they aren’t actively participating – not comfortable with that; difficult to gauge what is active participation and what is not; seems arbitrary. Suggest we don’t adopt it. ACTION: Re: Enforcement Mechanism: Participation is part of the SoP; Chairs have the option to remove members if they aren’t participating. Revise to make it less prescriptive – some kind a reminder but don’t say who will send it and link it to the SoP so it is enforceable. Give Council the flexibility for how to enforce this requirement. Change text in Column E to: “Reminders will be sent to non-active members.” Webinar Comment (Greg Shatan and Justine Chew), Column E – Small Team Action: 1) In the implementation document, consider revising the "Consensus Designation Process" row in the "Representative Model" and "Representative & Open Model" columns (page 3) by adding the following sentence before "Similarly, groups that do not fulfil their entire membership allowance must not be disadvantaged as a result during any assessment of consensus": The Chair shall also apply necessary and appropriate weight to the positions of the representatives from other SOs/ACs as prescribed in the working group charter. -- Okay with suggested response and action. Webinar Comment (Jeff Neuman), Column E – Small Team Action: 1) In the implementation document for PDP 3.0 Improvement #5 GNSO Council Liaisons Supplemental Guidance, consider adding the following sentence in the introduction: The liaison's primary responsibility is to facilitate the managerial role of the GNSO Council in overseeing the activities of the GNSO PDP working group. -- Until the person says that he is speaking on behalf of my constituency as a representative or for the Council, I don’t see the reason why we should stop Councilors from joining the policy development. In the response: suggest we say that if the Councilor represents themselves then we don’t see an issue. -- Column F: Add language that we can’t limit who the appointing organization can appoint. -- Could we park this with Statements of Interest? Jeff’s point may be related to potential conflicts of interest. Worthwhile looking into it at a deeper level. -- In the role of the liaison we say it is not recommended to be a member of a PDP and a liaison at the same time. We could respond that if a Councilor is participating in a liaison role then he should be neutral, but if not we don’t see the reason to limit participation. -- Yes, that’s in improvement #5 - stating liaison needs to fulfill their duty in a neutral manner and it is strongly discouraged that they participate in their individual capacity during WG deliberation. ACTION: Work on revised language for Columns D and F. Webinar Comment (Brian Beckham), Column E – Small Team Action: In the implementation document, consider adding the following sentence in the introduction section: GNSO Council's determination of the membership structure and other components for any GNSO working group model should not conflict with the requirements in ICANN Bylaws, which are paramount. -- Okay with suggested response and action. #3 Criteria for Joining of New Members: GAC, Column E – Small Team Action: 4) In the implementation document, consider revising the following sentences on page 2: [Original] "...or if the Charter requires certain levels of representation and a representative has left and thus must be replaced. In the case where levels of representation may need to be maintained, the relevant SG/C of the member who can no longer participate for any reason may nominate a replacement, although that replacement should have the skills and capacity to participate." [Revision] "...or if the working group has a Representative Model or a Representative & Open Model, and an appointed member has left and thus must be replaced. In the case where levels of representation may need to be maintained, the relevant group that appoints the member who can no longer participate for any reason may nominate a replacement at any time during the lifespan of the working group, so long as the replacement should have the skills and capacity to participate. The group appointing the replacement should make the effort to appropriately prepare the new member." -- Okay with suggested response and action. #3 Working Group Member Skills Guide: GAC and ALAC Comments – No action required. Webinar (Benjamin Akinmoveje), Column E – Small Team Action: In the implementation document, consider adding the following paragraph in the Introduction section: According to PDP 3.0 Improvement #2, during the chartering process of a working group, the GNSO Council may require that members/participants must have a certain level of expertise to carry out the policy development activities, and independent evaluation (e.g., GNSO Council Standing Selection Committee) may be conducted as appropriate in the specific circumstances to confirm whether members do have the required expertise. Working Group members are also expected to abide by the Statement of Participation as an outcome from PDP 3.0 Improvement #1. The Statement of Participation, including ICANN’s Expected Standards of Behavior, are enforceable and the Working Group leadership and GNSO Council Leadership Team have the authority to restrict a member’s participation in the event of non-compliance. -- Okay with suggested response and action. #4 Capture vs. Consensus Playbook Webinar (Jeff Neuman), Column E – Small Team Action: 1) - Consider sending an "invitation to provide input" letter to GNSO SGs/Cs and other SOs/ACs for the Capture vs. Consensus Playbook after the draft has been delivered to the GNSO Council - Consider separating Improvement #4 from the overall timeline of completing the PDP 3.0 project, as it may overlap with the MSM Evolution workstream that the GNSO will lead. In addition, the process for contracting the external vendor has delayed the development of the playbook, thus Improvement #4 is at risk of completion before the SPS 2020 deadline -- Question: Not sure how we are going to develop the Consensus Playbook – as an expert draft or for comment. Answer: It is the result of the ABR and will be developed by an expert; was not meant to be a document for comment. -- Seems like we need more communication about the playbook. Need to keep messaging and clarifying. ACTION: By 20 December – Review rows 13-28 of the spreadsheet and provide comments on the mailing list. Indicate whether you agree with the text in columns D, E, and F. Reference what row number you are commenting on.

by Ariel Liang Dec. 17, 2019

Dec. 17, 2019

Dear all, To facilitate the initial review of WG charter template revision during tomorrow’s PDP 3.0 meeting (Tue 17 December at 13:00 UTC), please see the Google docs below. Redline (comment allowed): https://drive.google.com/a/icann.org/file/d/1c69yMieH-9MCfhSelpb5vc8dxvIY_I… Clean (read only): https://drive.google.com/a/icann.org/file/d/1j--eXY1faQFbtRiT7yuKb7DuEv5wkm… The revision attempts to address / reflect the following: * Relevant content from all of the PDP 3.0 improvement documents * Comments in the slack channel for charter template revision * Comments received from the ICANN community (GAC, ALAC, webinar, etc.) * Original comments / edits by Rafik, Pam, Marika and Berry on the charter template The redline is a bit overwhelming as there are many changes there, hence the read-only clean version may be easier for your reference. The areas with yellow highlights indicate that the charter drafting team needs to provide specific information, if applicable. Thank you! Ariel

Actions & Notes: GNSO PDP 3.0 Small Team Meeting 03 December 2019 at 21:00 UTC
by Steve Chan Dec. 5, 2019

Dec. 5, 2019

Dear All, Please find below the action items and notes captured during the PDP 3.0 Small Team meeting on Tuesday, 03 December 2019 at 21:00 UTC. Staff has posted to the wiki space the action items and notes. Please note that these are high-level notes and are not meant as a substitute for the recording and chat room records, which are posted on the wiki at: https://community.icann.org/x/ZZIzBw ACTIONS: - Rafik, Pam, and staff to proposes draft responses for the Small Team to consider. (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AXJnTP-xX6eQWRTeOMopFD-iUr1tlGA5uy-…) - Members should review slides in detail and may continue making comments to the deck until the end of the week. (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cKpme0QFIkCBWxCngIAio4Vqs80dOVq2UsD…) NOTES: Welcome & roll call Review input to PDP 3.0 improvements: https://community.icann.org/x/_ZgzBw Improvement 1 GAC If the appeal is during the WG process, and there is a dispute, there is a process under 3.7 to allow for dispute resolution, but if the GNSO is forming a new group, the Council should have a say as to which model is appropriate. If a volunteer would like to sign up to the WG, he/she would need to sign the accompanying statement of participation. There is a distinction in the first two bullets – the SOP is a condition of entering a WG. The third bullet suggests that there should be an appeal mechanism (perhaps this is targeted to the structure of a group about to be launched). When a group is being considered for launch at the Council level or when its adopting its charter, this is where the group’s structure will ultimately be determined. B/c GAC and ALAC have liaisons on the Council, the liaisons could speak up if there is disagreement about the proposed structure. With respect to the third bullet, there are three issues. The model may not be open, there are already appeal mechanisms, and in terms of Council business, why should there be an appeal? The GNSO Council does not interfere with the GAC’s internal processes. Capture in PDP 3.0 small team action: respond to comment with explanation. Improvement 2 GAC These comments are generally supportive of the improvement. The last bullet indicates that this is a good direction. See no other actionable comments other than to define SSC. Suggest breaking down each bullet point and then explain what the action item is (if any). Second bullet, for example, is already addressed in the leadership recommendations. That way, if the author asks why any of the bullets are not specifically addressed, there will be an answer of where this is already addressed. A bullet-by-bullet response would be time intensive. Capture in PDP 3.0 small team action: define SSC ALAC Selection of WG model: alternatives should be the exception and should be explained. Proposed response: agree that before RDS PDP, the open model worked. Since the work of RDS, there have not been many successful open WGs, which is why this structure was reconsidered. Capture in PDP 3.0 small team action: clarify the concern raised by ALAC re: limitation of participation of PDP. Add element about periodic reminders for participation. ACTION: Rafik, Pam, and staff to proposes draft responses for the Small Team to consider. Webinar preparation & slide review:https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cKpme0QFIkCBWxCngIAio4Vqs80d… [docs.google.com] Webinar is scheduled next week to allow for greater participation. For the presentation, Rafik will present the first half of the slides, and ICANN Policy Staff will present the second half of the slides. Members of the small group are welcome to speak up during the webinar to elucidate points, especially for improvements where they served as lead. The webinar is scheduled for 90 minutes, but the webinar is unlikely to take 90 minutes. Slides available for review as a Google doc here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cKpme0QFIkCBWxCngIAio4Vqs80dOVq2UsD… ACTION: Members should review slides in detail and may continue making comments to the deck until the end of the week. Slide 19: Berry could provide examples to help with a 90,000-foot level, and zoom in and out, as appropriate The presenters will endeavor to get through everything but also leave enough time for Q&A.

FW: ALAC Feedback: Invitation to Provide Input for PDP 3.0 Implementation
by Ariel Liang Dec. 3, 2019

Dec. 3, 2019

Dear All, For Small Team’s record, please see ALAC’s input for PDP 3.0 implementation attached. Thank you! Ariel From: Evin Erdogdu <evin.erdogdu(a)icann.org> Date: Wednesday, November 27, 2019 at 4:27 PM To: Ariel Liang <ariel.liang(a)icann.org>, ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org>, Steve Chan <steve.chan(a)icann.org> Cc: "gnso-secs(a)icann.org" <gnso-secs(a)icann.org>, Maureen Hilyard, Alan Greenberg, Holly Raiche, Justine Chew Subject: Update: ALAC Feedback: Invitation to Provide Input for PDP 3.0 Implementation Dear Ariel and All, There is one revision added to the statement (attached) in the second paragraph on the first page: The ALAC appreciates proposed reforms to the PDP process that may make the process more effective and efficient in achieving outcomes. However, concern was expressed that the “reforms” suggested by the PDP 3.0 could be used to actually limit the participation by the ALAC / At-Large Community. In striving for timely, inclusive, productive and broad-based participation in PDP 3.0, the ALAC wish to share some feedback with the GNSO Council. Please share this final, revised statement with the GNSO Council Small Team. Thank you for confirmation of receipt - and Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! Cheers, Evin
