Hi,

I am happy to have a sub team session at ICANN60.  I will be remote.  I am not available for a subteam meeting this week or next.  The week after ICANN is the INTA Leadership meeting so I am not available then either. I have 4 conferences in the next 3 weeks so scheduling will be super tough.  I will dial in if I find myself free but it is unlikely.

1. Sub Team meeting(s) next week

I have no objection to using Wednesday’s call for a sub-team meeting, and do plan to be on the call, subject to the following:

• This is/was going to be our last WG meeting before AD.  I thought we were going to use some of the meeting to discuss the agendas for our AD meetings?  If there won’t now be a WG meeting is it the intention that this happens on the list instead?
• Similarly, I had rather assumed we would be reviewing the data staff have been collecting on the Claims, as we did for the Sunrise last week.  If that is not the case, will we do this instead in AD?
• I presume that this subgroup was set up, at least in part, because it is viewed as impractical to undertake the work through the full working group.  With that in mind, if the WG meeting is to be repurposed I think it is important that there is a cancellation sent out as soon as possible.  I have no objection to more members of the WG joining the sub-team call, but I’d prefer to see them join the call because they are willing to make a commitment to participating in the sub-team’s ongoing work, not because the fancy “observing” on a one-off occasion.

Regarding Friday’s proposed call, again, I am available to join but I think we need to be clear how many people can actually make this time slot (which is inconveniently early for US W Coast) and will be able to actively participate (ie able to join the Adobe and able to speak) and assume “no response” is a no.  It might be preferable to do a doodle poll and find a time which works better for people.

2. Sub Team session at ICANN60

I support spending time in AD actively progressing the sub-team’s work.  I think most (although not all) of the volunteers will be present, and hopefully the non-attendees could join in Adobe if they are free – in which case the Saturday 17.00-18.30 might be the best, from a time zone perspective, although of course for a non-meeting attendee it is the weekend!

Having said this, it looks as though the room allocated to the WG on Thursday may be significantly smaller than for the other sessions.  Is that correct?  If so, this would seem better suited to a sub-team meeting than to the full WG plus onlookers.   

Whichever slot is selected, could the ICANN schedule please be updated to make it clear that this is a sub-group working session.  Of course it will still be open, should others like to attend, but it will not be conducive to getting the work done if people come in and out thinking they will get an update/overview on the work of the PDP.

Thanks

Susan

Dear Sub Team members,

Following a meeting between the Working Group co-chairs and staff to prepare for ICANN60, we will be grateful if you can respond to the following questions as soon as possible:

1. Sub Team meeting(s) next week

As the first Sub Team call today had to be canceled due to lack of attendance, the co-chairs are proposing to repurpose the Working Group meeting scheduled for Wednesday 18 October into a Sub Team call (with the agenda intended for the call today, below). This call will be open to all Working Group members to observe, but will allow the Sub Team a full 90 minutes to begin its work.

In addition, the Sub Team can hold its second meeting next Friday 20 October, in the same time slot as today (i.e. 1400 UTC) for 60 minutes. This will allow the Sub Team to make as much progress as we can before the open community sessions take place in Abu Dhabi at ICANN60.

As such, can you respond to let us know if you plan to attend the Wednesday 18 October as well as (if you agree to a second meeting) the Friday 20 October calls?

2. Sub Team session at ICANN60

The Working Group co-chairs also propose that one of the four Working Group sessions scheduled for ICANN60 be used for a Sub Team meeting. This will be an open session where other Working Group members and community participants can also attend. Ideally, this will be one of the two sessions scheduled for Saturday 28 October (either 15.15-16.45 or 17.00-18.30).

Can you let us know if you will be attending any/some/all of the Working Group sessions at ICANN60, and whether you plan to do so in person or remotely?

(Note: the other Working Group sessions are scheduled for Monday 30 October from 15.15-16.45, and Thursday 2 November from 13.30-15.00.)

Thank you!

Cheers

Mary
