For your review - survey results
by Marika Konings April 5, 2017

April 5, 2017

Dear All, Thank you all for participating in the survey on such short notice. I am happy to report that all SSC members appointed to date provided their input (note, we are still waiting the appointment of one NCSG rep). Here you can find the aggregated results: https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-L2VBBBLB/. As some of you expressed concerns about sharing the individual scoring publicly, I have not made that information available at this stage. You may first want to come to agreement on how to handle that information (for example, if there is concern about sharing it publicly, maybe it could be shared on an individual basis between SSC members with the commitment that the information is not shared outside of the group?). To facilitate your review and discussion, I’ve also created the attached excel sheet in which I’ve aggregated the scores for Q3 and Q4 and ranked based on the survey results and also listed the ranking based on Q5. You will note that the top 6 on that basis is identical for Q3&4 and Q5, but there are some differences following that which you may need to discuss. I hope this is helpful. Talk to you all soon. Best regards, Marika Marika Konings Vice President, Policy Development Support – GNSO, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: marika.konings(a)icann.org<mailto:marika.konings@icann.org> Follow the GNSO via Twitter @ICANN_GNSO Find out more about the GNSO by taking our interactive courses<http://learn.icann.org/courses/gnso> and visiting the GNSO Newcomer pages<http://gnso.icann.org/sites/gnso.icann.org/files/gnso/presentations/policy-…>.

FW: RDS/WHOIS2 Review Applicantions
by Marika Konings April 5, 2017

April 5, 2017

Dear All, Please find below the information requested concerning the scale used for the staff assessment of the applicants as well as those candidates for which the GNSO affiliation was not clear. Best regards, Marika From: Karen Mulberry <karen.mulberry(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday, April 4, 2017 at 17:45 To: Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org> Cc: Margie Milam <Margie.Milam(a)icann.org> Subject: Re: RDS/WHOIS2 Review Applicantions Marika, Here are the answers to the questions that the GNSO asked regarding the RDS/WHOIS2 candidates. 1. The scale we used to rate the applicant’s expertise was used to compared the expertise listed in the Call for Volunteers to what each applicant listed in their application. We looked at whether they had enough experience or were actively participating in RDS related working groups, before assessing the expertise they listed. Here is the scale that we used: · Meets All: 6/6 of the expertise criteria listed · Meets Most: 4-5/6 of the expertise criteria listed · Meets some: 1-3/6 of the expertise criteria listed 2. As these applicants reside in Asia we were not sure we could gather a response in sufficient time for the GNSO so we reviewed the applications posted on the wiki for any mention of their affiliation with the GNSO. Here is what we gathered: · Vignesh Pamu: he claims he participated in GNSO - Next Generation RDS PDP WG Face to Face Meeting (attended as Guest) and Thick WHOIS Implementation Review but does not appear as member or observer on both. · Pitinan Kooamornpatana mentioned participation within the GAC but none in GNSO, he is a member of Thai Generation Panel for the Label Generation Rootzone (LGR) for Thai Script, but I believe this is not part of GNSO. · Subham Charan clearly mentioned he has no ICANN experience. Conclusion: We determined that none of the applications appears to show any direct affiliation with the GNSO. I hope this meets the request from the GNSO. Sincerely, Karen Mulberry Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives (MSSI) ICANN

Re: [Gnso-ssc] For your review - RDS RT evaluation survey options
by Marika Konings April 4, 2017

April 4, 2017

All, so far the feedback is as follows: Preference for option 1: Julf, Frederick, Renata Preference for option 2: Poncelet Can you please weigh in as soon as possible so we are able to launch the survey with sufficient time before the next meeting? We will also need your feedback concerning how the results are shared. Renate has already indicated that she prefers the survey results, including individual responses to be shared publicly. Best regards, Marika From: <gnso-ssc-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org> Date: Thursday, March 30, 2017 at 20:20 To: "gnso-ssc(a)icann.org" <gnso-ssc(a)icann.org> Subject: [Gnso-ssc] For your review - RDS RT evaluation survey options Dear All, Following on from the call today, staff has gone ahead and created two (for now) possible approaches for a survey to review the candidates for the RDS Review Team: · Option 1 – See https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Preview/?sm=0hjSAi4ZCoUvdD2Kv0gANdf5YVqJkYkY…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.surveymonkey.com_r…> for a preview. This is a very straightforward approach which first asks two questions in relation to whether the candidate qualifies as a GNSO candidate (yes/no-don’t know) and whether the candidate has the necessary expertise and competence (yes/no-don’t know), followed by a ranking of the candidates. This approach is similar to the one used by the volunteers that reviewed the SSR2-RT candidates. · Option 2 – See https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Preview/?sm=3yLMDGyDuJTXv7WxGEXYmZTUiaAeDz3Z…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.surveymonkey.com_r…> for a preview. This survey goes into a bit more detail as it asks to rank the candidates based on how the meet 1) the skills and expertise as outlined in the call for volunteers, and 2) the desired attributes as outlined in the call for volunteers. This option could be further refined by asking a ranking for each individual skill / expertise and/or desired attribute, but that would make the survey significantly longer and would also take you more time to complete. The aggregated score could be used to obtain an overall ranking based on the responses from all. Note that these two options are in preview mode – any responses will not be recorded. Please share with the list which approach has your preference and/or which modifications or alternative approaches should be added to this list of options. Once the SSC has agreed on an approach, you will also need to decide whether you intend to share the individual survey responses with the SSC or only the aggregated results as well as whether you intend to share these publicly. As noted on the call today, the charter foresees that “To facilitate its deliberations, the SSC may decide to conduct some or all of its deliberations in private, but if so, it is expected to provide a rationale with its recommendations”. We would like to ask you to share your feedback as soon as possible so that ideally the survey will be launched early next week to allow for review and discussion of the results during next week’s meeting (please remember to fill out the doodle poll that has been circulated by Nathalie). Best regards, Marika P.S. You will also find attached the updated summary document which now includes a column for gender.
