The chat history has been cleared
Nathalie Peregrine: Dear all, welcome to the GNSO Review Working Group call on the 6 October 2016
Nathalie Peregrine: Meeting page: https://community.icann.org/x/jRa4Aw
Nathalie Peregrine: Rafik Dammak has joined the call
Nathalie Peregrine: Mahendra Limaye has joined the audio bridge
Lori Schulman: I don't have sound at the moment so my apologies. Once again, this deadline looks too ambitious given the WS2 work and deadlines surrounding that.
Heath Dixon: Question: So the dependencies have not already been identified?
Julie Hedlund: @Lori: In the ICANN Board resolultion, the GNSO must submit the implementation plan to the Board by December 2016
Lori Schulman: I will report this back to my constituency but this pushing the same pool of volunteers is beginning to wear on me. I apologize for complaining but this a real concern.
Julie Hedlund: @Lori: Understood! Volunteer fatigue is a real concern.
Heath Dixon: (I put a question in the chat)
Heath Dixon: (don't have audio)
Heath Dixon: OK. Seems like an important consideration for timing (e.g., if there is a Medium item that is a dependency for a High, then we need to bump it up the queue). What's the timeframe for staff completing that work?
Julie Hedlund: @Heath: Staff will work to produce an analysis of dependencies as quickly as possible as a first step. It will be helpful if the WG could provide a deadline/goal for this work. I think we will discuss this today.
Heath Dixon: @Julie: Thank you.
Marika Konings: as far as I am aware, I don't think the GNSO Review recommendations are structure specific (and neither does the transition create a different structure, it just creates new responsibilities for the GNSO)
Marika Konings: the good thing is that Julie is also the main support for the group that is working on possible changes to the Bylaws and GNSO Operating Procedures as a result of the post-transition world, so she will in a unique position to recognise
any dependencies :-)
Lori Schulman: Agree with Rafik, possibly not a realistic deadline given Hyderabad prep....and all of the time we are spending on Visa applications. :)
Rafik: @lori I was also thinking that most of folks here will celebrate thanksgiving too ;)
Lori Schulman: Yes, we have several days off in US for Thanksgiving.
Rafik: do we have enough members for setting many subgroups?
Julie Hedlund: @Lori and Rafik: But the deadline is 21 November to the Council, so before Thanksgiving :-)
Heath Dixon: Seems like the only way we can succeed.
Lori Schulman: You are killing us.
Heath Dixon: That approach makes sense to me.
Heath Dixon: Question: Do we have an example of a plan at this high level that we can use as a guide?
Lori Schulman: My mid year leadership meeting takes place right after Hyderabad. I will be out commission completely from November 14-19.
Lori Schulman: I have back to back conferences between Hyderabad and the deadline. I will let my constituency know.
Lori Schulman: If Staff is willing to take the first piece of work that would certainly help us meet the tight deadline.
Rafik: lost sounds for some time
Lori Schulman: Glad to see my concerns on the slides....guess that are not new.
