For your review - draft process to designate GNSO Rep to EC Admin
by Marika Konings June 14, 2017

June 14, 2017

Dear All, Per the SSC discussion, I reached out to our legal colleagues to obtain some further information in relation to whether it would be possible to have the collective of the GNSO Leadership team (GNSO Chair and Council Vice-Chairs) designated as the GNSO representative to the Empowered Community Administration. They pointed out that the Bylaw language states that “Each Decisional Participant shall deliver annually a written certification from its chair or co-chairs to the Secretary designating the individual who shall represent the Decisional Participant on the EC Administration”. As such, under the scenario that the SSC is currently considering, it would be a requirement for the GNSO Leadership team to make a determination who would serve in the role of representative to EC Administration so that this person subsequently can be designated by the GNSO Council. This, however, does not preclude those on the leadership team that have not been designated to step in if/when needed but it would be recommendable to include this possibility as part of the designation so there is clarity around this possibility of an alternate. Based on this information, the process, based on the scenario of having the leadership team make a determination of who from the leadership team would serve in the role as representative to the EC Admin could look as follows: 1. GNSO Chair election takes place at ICANN Annual Meeting 2. Noting that the Vice-Chair cannot be from the same Stakeholder Group as the Chair, Vice-Chairs may be confirmed prior to the Chair Election only if there is a single Chair candidate or all Chair candidates are from the SG. Otherwise, confirmation of Vice-Chairs may happen after the Chair election. 3. GNSO Chair is confirmed upon election as the interim representative to the EC Admin, until such time as the leadership team has had an opportunity to meet and decide who is taking on this role. In case the GNSO Council fails to select a Chair, the existing representative to the EC Admin will remain in that role until such time as a Chair has been elected. 4. As soon as possible upon confirmation of the leadership team, the leadership team will meet to decide who is to be designated as GNSO Representative to the EC Admin. Following this determination, this decision is to be confirmed by the GNSO Council as part of the consent agenda. The decision on the designation of the permanent representative to the EC Admin is then communicated to the ICANN Secretary and EC Admin. 5. Should at any point during term of the Chair and/or Vice-Chairs there be a change (for example, a resignation or a change in circumstances which may mean the representative is no longer able to perform in this role), the leadership team will communicate this to the GNSO Council as soon as possible together with the name of the individual on the leadership team who will take on this role so that a new designation can be made. 6. As part of the designation, it will be made clear that in case of absence or conflict, another member of the leadership team may step in to replace the representative on the EC Admin. As noted, this is a possible way in which the scenario of having a member of the GNSO leadership team (GNSO Chair and Council Vice-Chairs) serve as the designated representative to the EC Admin, but as always, please feel free to share any comments, edits or alternative scenarios you may have. Following your feedback, the proposed process could be written up in the form of a motion which can then be shared with the GNSO Council for its consideration ahead of ICANN59.

Frederic Guillemaut:Hello Everybody, Susan Kawaguchi:I am waiting for a dial out sorry for the delay Osvaldo Novoa:Hello all Marika Konings:It may also be worth noting that at the moment almost all reps are SO/AC chairs who are also involved in planning so that may help avoiding conflict as well :-) Terri Agnew:Welcome Lori Schulman Lori Schulman:My apologies for being late Poncelet Ileleji:Thanks for the note Marika Terri Agnew:Welcome Maxim Alzoba Maxim Alzoba:Hello All, sorry for being bit late (it took few minutes to connect) Marika Konings:Under A it would be considered a shared responsibility of the GNSO Leadership Team. Term limits would be linked to their term as Chair/Vice-Chair and/or appointment to the Council. Marika Konings:I think the GAC appointment may also still be interim, but I am not a 100% of that Marika Konings:one advantage of the Chair would be that he/she is already accustomed to the responsibility of representing the GNSO Council and are aware of this notion that they are their in a representative position and not an individual one Julf Helsingius:I agree Emily Barabas:The ccNSO rep is not chair, but a member of the ccNSO, as the chair was not interested in the position Emily Barabas:*member of the ccNSO Council Maxim Alzoba:yes Marika Konings:so default option for the ccNSO is the chair, with fall back option a member of the ccNSO Council in case the chair is not available / willing? Emily Barabas:Yes Emily Barabas:that is my understanding Marika Konings:one chair and two vice-chairs Marika Konings:all one year, but renewable Marika Konings:if I am not mistaken Marika Konings:allowing the leadership to figure it out would allow for spreading out to work Marika Konings:depending on their other responsibilities and work load Maxim Alzoba:my understanding of James was that 2 vice chairs were enough Marika Konings:No, I don't think so - I think he is term limited by the end of this year? Maxim Alzoba:in case GNSO Chair is not selected, then one rep. from GNSO Council ? Maxim Alzoba:why are we talking about the Term? I think it is bit early for that Julf Helsingius:We are talking about term in case all 3 of the current leadership all are ending their term Maxim Alzoba:Can it be resolved by "Appointed by GNSO Chair, or by GNSO Council in case where the Chair is not elected or can not act due to physical reasons"? Maxim Alzoba:and when new rep. is selected - question of Term is not important anymore Maxim Alzoba:GNSO Council will not allow us to decide for them anyway Marika Konings:having it as a joint responsibility for the leadership team would also have the advantage of ensuring that there is representation from accross the GNSO houses? Julf Helsingius:I am not that bothered with representation, considering the position has no power Marika Konings:right - but just in case if there is concern someone would go beyond what they are supposed to do ;-) Poncelet Ileleji:am not Maxim Alzoba:there could be only one -but given the absence of freedom to act - it is not so important, from which house comes the rep. Osvaldo Novoa:I would prefer not to, but I would go along with this proposal Lori Schulman:I am not sure abouth that Maxim Alzoba:we can not choose few Frederic Guillemaut:are we going to finalise the desicion now ? or will we have a draft at the end of the meeting . Maxim Alzoba:I am in favour of A Frederic Guillemaut:A is fine Maxim Alzoba:I will have to drop 5 minutes to the top of the hour (RySG call right next after this one) Julf Helsingius:I am in favour of A too Marika Konings:@Maxim - I don't think anything would prevent from the GNSO to designate the Council leadership and indicate that they amongst themselves would ensure that for every EC Admin meeting there would be one of them there to represent the GNSO? We can check with our legal colleagues whether that would be an issue, but it appears it is up to the Decisional Participants who / how to appoint. Julf Helsingius:I don't see it as a leadership role Julf Helsingius:it is more like a liaison Marika Konings:the proposal is that the leadership team would work out amongst themselves who would be the representative and/or how to share the responsibilities of this role. Maxim Alzoba:it would be nice If we do not forget to add notice of "there is a need of creation of a fast-replacement of the GNSO Rep. to EC Adm.(situations where the current Rep. can not show up / carry out actions required by the role)" Maxim Alzoba:About rotation: I am not sure how the Chair is going to rotate if he/she choose to be the EC Adm. Rep. from GNSO Lori Schulman:I think that the point of trust is good one Maxim Alzoba:James asked for simple solution , not for extremly complex one Maxim Alzoba:I think we need to add this as a side note - that the need was identified Maxim Alzoba:yes - whitout words on who needs to design it or how it should be designed (it is outside of our role) Lori Schulman:if we propose to go the scenario A route the we can note we considered the NCPH/CPH issue but recommend that it is not helpful here due to duties and need for clear, simple solution and trust in leadership Julf Helsingius:i agree Julf Helsingius:both, actually :) Lori Schulman:world peace Lori Schulman:sorry Julf Helsingius:good luck! :9 Frederic Guillemaut:it might take some more meetings Poncelet Ileleji:Should we have a time SChedule prior to communicating Lori Schulman:I will be at the WSIS but will see if I can break away Maxim Alzoba:few meetings , I think Frederic Guillemaut:i'll be available Lori Schulman:INTA is on 3 panels including ICANN panel Marika Konings:Yes, it probably would Marika Konings:staff could write up the recommendation in the form of a motion for the SSC's review? Poncelet Ileleji:Okay that sounds good to me Marika the suggestion +1 Julf Helsingius:nothing from me Frederic Guillemaut:good work. Lori Schulman:Thanks for your great Leadership Susan Lori Schulman:and Marika Maxim Alzoba:bye all, need to drop Frederic Guillemaut:Thank you, bye all ! Lori Schulman:ciao Osvaldo Novoa:Thank you and bye Julf Helsingius:Thank you everyone! Poncelet Ileleji:Bye everyone

Dear SSC members, Please see below notes and action items for the meeting today, 7 June 2017 at 14:00 UTC. These high-level notes are designed to help WG members navigate through the content of the call and are not meant to be a substitute for the recording or transcript. Recordings, call transcripts, full chat transcripts, slides and other relevant meeting materials are available here: https://community.icann.org/x/0zbwAw. Kind regards, Emily ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GNSO Standing Selection Committee meeting on Wednesday 7 June at 14.00 UTC notes: 1. Roll Call / SOI - In attendance: Frederic, Julf, Osvaldo, Poncelet, Susan, Lori, Maxim 2. Review responses from James to follow-up questions (see http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-ssc/2017-June/000171.html) 3. Review survey results (see https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-V83H7KLP/)[surveymonkey.com] - Responses were mixed, we didn't come out with a single clear path/direction - The intent was to inform deliberations and get a sense of the direction people were going. Answers were not all mutually exclusive. Use caution when looking at percentages, there are small numbers of responses and respondents could select more than one response for questions. 4. Consider the following possible scenarios: A. Designate GNSO Leadership Team (GNSO Chair & GNSO Council Vice-Chairs) to fill the role of representative to the EC Admin and determine amongst themselves who would attend which meeting Chat excerpt: Marika Konings: Under A it would be considered a shared responsibility of the GNSO Leadership Team. Term limits would be linked to their term as Chair/Vice-Chair and/or appointment to the Council. (term is one year, renewable) Marika Konings: one advantage of the Chair would be that he/she is already accustomed to the responsibility of representing the GNSO Council and are aware of this notion that they are their in a representative position and not an individual one. Marika Konings: allowing the leadership to figure it out would allow for spreading out to work Marika Konings: depending on their other responsibilities and work load - Pro: As the job is simpler than originally thought, and the job requires less of a time commitment than originally expected by the SSC, this option will keep things simple. - Pro: Since there is a chair and two vice chairs, one member could be the primary with another member of the leadership team as a fallback. - Possibility of designating outgoing chair. - Pro: having it as a joint responsibility for the leadership team would also have the advantage of ensuring that there is representation from across the GNSO houses. Chat excerpt: Julf Helsingius: I am not that bothered with representation, considering the position has no power Marika Konings: right - but just in case if there is concern someone would go beyond what they are supposed to do ;-) - there may be some sensitivity for some regarding representation. Chat excerpt: Lori Schulman: if we propose to go the scenario A route the we can note we considered the NCPH/CPH issue but recommend that it is not helpful here due to duties and need for clear, simple solution and trust in leadership Julf Helsingius: i agree Julf Helsingius: I don't see it as a leadership role Julf Helsingius: it is more like a liaison Marika Konings: the proposal is that the leadership team would work out amongst themselves who would be the representative and/or how to share the responsibilities of this role. Maxim Alzoba: it would be nice If we do not forget to add notice of "there is a need of creation of a fast-replacement of the GNSO Rep. to EC Adm.(situations where the current Rep. can not show up / carry out actions required by the role)" Maxim Alzoba: I think we need to add this as a side note - that the need was identified Maxim Alzoba: yes - whitout words on who needs to design it or how it should be designed (it is outside of our role) - Would we need replacement process in scenario A, as members of the leadership team would be able to serve as backup for one another? - Different people have different availability, may be helpful to ask leadership team if the shared responsibility is something they can manage themselves. - Is there any concern about/limitation on this approach? B. Designate someone from the GNSO Council, but not the GNSO Leadership team to fill the role of representative to the EC Admin as well as appointing an alternate from the GNSO Council. C. Designate a recent former GNSO Council member to fill the role of representative to the EC Admin as well as appointing an alternate who is a recent former Council member. - Con if former chair/member is selected: will not be funded to participate in ICANN meetings. 5. Discuss what next steps are: - Next steps – Group seems to be collecting around option A. Make sure option A is a workable solution from a process perspective, seek confirmation on mailing list that there is support for this option. - Ideally, we would submit a consensus recommendation in time for the Council's document deadline for ICANN59. 6. Confirm next steps & next meeting - Next meeting Wednesday 14 June at 14:00 UTC

Hi Lori, It is fine to share the questions either using the attached working document (which is also posted on the publicly accessible wiki) or by sharing the “preview” version of the poll: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.surveymonkey.com_r… . We just ask that you do not share the actual poll link once it is circulated, as we only want SSC members to complete it.

I think in this case, for question 1, it may be easiest to select “other” and simply describe your preference as you do below. We will not be analyzing the results quantitatively. The goal is primarily to understand what different SSC members are thinking at this point. To that end, as long as your response captures your point of view, it will provide useful input for the discussion. > > Kind regards, > Emily > > On 01/06/17 10:39, "gnso-ssc-bounces(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-ssc-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Johan Helsingius" <gnso-ssc-bounces(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-ssc-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of julf(a)julf.com><mailto:julf@julf.com%3e> wrote: > > Dear Emily, > > I am not sure how to handle the interaction of questions 1 > and 2. > > In question 1 we address the GNSO chair, and the questions > assume he/she is either first choice or the alternative > choice - but in question 2 there is the possibility of the > rep being selected from current council leadership - so the > chair is one possibility, but not the only one. > > In this case, should one answer "yes" to both choices in > question 1? > > Would it be clearer to add a possibility of "the chair is > not special" on question 1? > > Julf > > On 01-06-17 10:24, Emily Barabas wrote: > > Dear SSC members, > > > > > > > > As discussed yesterday, we will be opening a poll on some of the key > > questions the SSC is considering related to the EC Admin representative. > > Over the last two meetings, we have received input from Sam Eisner & > > Trang Nguyen (ICANN org) and James Bladel (GNSO Council Chair and > > interim rep) to support development of the selection process. > > > > > > > > The purpose of this poll is to get a sense of the direction of travel > > from the group and see if agreement is beginning to form on key > > questions related to this selection process. > > > > > > > > The poll is currently in “preview” mode so that you can review the > > questions: > > https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.surveymonkey.com_r… . > > If you enter a response at this point, it will not be recorded. *If you > > have any feedback on the questions or survey structure, please send > > comments by 8:00 UTC tomorrow. *Staff will then incorporate any feedback > > and open the poll. ** > > > > > > > > Note that an updated working document with questions and discussion > > points is attached for reference. > > > > > > > > Kind regards, > > > > Emily > > > > > > > > *Emily Barabas *| Policy Specialist > > > > *ICANN*| Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers > > > > Email: emily.barabas(a)icann.org<mailto:emily.barabas@icann.org> | Phone: +31 (0)6 84507976 > > > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Gnso-ssc mailing list > > Gnso-ssc(a)icann.org<mailto:Gnso-ssc@icann.org> > > https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gnso-ssc > > > > _______________________________________________ > Gnso-ssc mailing list > Gnso-ssc(a)icann.org<mailto:Gnso-ssc@icann.org> > https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gnso-ssc > _______________________________________________ Gnso-ssc mailing list Gnso-ssc(a)icann.org<mailto:Gnso-ssc@icann.org> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gnso-ssc

Poll "preview" - EC Admin representative
by Emily Barabas June 1, 2017

June 1, 2017

Dear SSC members, As discussed yesterday, we will be opening a poll on some of the key questions the SSC is considering related to the EC Admin representative. Over the last two meetings, we have received input from Sam Eisner & Trang Nguyen (ICANN org) and James Bladel (GNSO Council Chair and interim rep) to support development of the selection process. The purpose of this poll is to get a sense of the direction of travel from the group and see if agreement is beginning to form on key questions related to this selection process. The poll is currently in “preview” mode so that you can review the questions: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Preview/?sm=0kmHUwrR8LPXqqz64zxwbFIsitOE7P4M…. If you enter a response at this point, it will not be recorded. If you have any feedback on the questions or survey structure, please send comments by 8:00 UTC tomorrow. Staff will then incorporate any feedback and open the poll. Note that an updated working document with questions and discussion points is attached for reference. Kind regards, Emily Emily Barabas | Policy Specialist ICANN | Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers Email: emily.barabas(a)icann.org | Phone: +31 (0)6 84507976

Additional comments from James Blade (interim EC Admin rep)
by Emily Barabas June 1, 2017

June 1, 2017

Dear SSC members, Below are responses from James Bladel to questions raised during the second half of our call yesterday: * Are we sure there will not be conflicting time commitments for the Chair during ICANN meetings if the Chair also serves as EC Admin rep? Will ICANN always provide non-conflicted slots for meetings that EC Admin reps need to attend? JMB – Not any more or less concerned about ECA conflicts than any other type of competing session schedules that we typically see at ICANN meetings. I believe the Community Forum, if needed, provides sufficient notice for the Chair to avoid conflicts. * What provisions (if any) exist under the current, temporary EC Admin rep arrangement in the case that an alternate is needed? JMB—None that I’m aware of. As the Interim Rep, I presume a motion from Council could transfer this Interim role to one of the Vice Chairs, another Councilor, or anyone within the GNSO. And as said on the call, I think tying the role to the Chair, Vice Chair or Councilor does solve a number of other problems, like term limits, rotation, travel support, etc., as these procedures would already be in place for those roles. James also provided the page that was recently created by Staff regarding the ECA, which he had referenced in the meeting: https://www.icann.org/ec[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_ec&d=DwM…> Kind regards, Emily Emily Barabas | Policy Specialist ICANN | Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers Email: emily.barabas(a)icann.org | Phone: +31 (0)6 84507976
