Julf Helsingius:Could be a quick and efficient call... :)
Maxim Alzoba:Hello All
Maxim Alzoba:I think we might wait for 3 miuntes more
Maxim Alzoba:or 2
Julf Helsingius:sure!
Maxim Alzoba:ok
Frederic Guillemaut:Hello All,
Marika Konings:Susan just confirmed she is dialing in now
Julf Helsingius:yes
Terri Agnew:Welcome Susan
Susan Kawaguchi:I am so sorry
Terri Agnew:Welcome Poncelet Ileleji
Poncelet Ileleji:Thanks Terri
Terri Agnew:Welcome Osvaldo Novoa
Osvaldo Novoa:Hello all, sorry I am late, my previous meeting delayed me.
Maxim Alzoba:Question: does EC have secritariate? who was supposed to send all notifications?
Maxim Alzoba:ok - answered, they use ICANN help with this
Mary Wong:@Maxim, to further clarify - the EC Adminisration receives and sends notices, and they will have staff support to help monitor the timings and publication of these notices. For the EC as a whole, each Decisional Participant (e.g the GNSO) will rely on its existing staff to exercise its powers as a Decisional Participant in the EC.
Maxim Alzoba:@Mary, Thanks
Osvaldo Novoa:The Decisional Participants representatives in the EC Administration are like the secretaries of the Decisional Participants in the EC Administration. They have no excecutive powers.
Poncelet Ileleji:Thanks for clarity Osvaldo
Mary Wong:To follow up on Trang's comment, this is also the case for the two new designated Directors from the ALAC and ccNSO respectively - the EC Admin does not get to vote on their appointment.
Maxim Alzoba:next please
Maxim Alzoba:example
Mary Wong:@Maxim, staff will be following up with the EC Admin on actual running of the Community Forum in Joburg, but as Samantha is saying, each Decisional Participant (in this case the GNSO via, presumably, the Council) can provide input and guidance to its respective EC Admin representative.
Maxim Alzoba:Question : are rules of Mediation fully formed?
Marika Konings:It is likely that the GNSO Council would ask the SSC for assistance on such types of appointments
Marika Konings:following which the GNSO Council would consider those recommendations and direct the representative accordingly
Samantha Eisner:@Maxim, see section 4.7 of the ICANN Bylaws: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resources_pages_governance_bylaws-2Den_-23article4&d=DwICaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=DRa2dXAvSFpCIgmkXhFzL7ar9Qfqa0AIgn-H4xR2EBk&m=XiFu4QMZnYS9cRyk6lk9NIuqFh8hsMYNFwxZ3-lA8gc&s=cuVrBrumU9CBXQ0vaiYsBuYvJL0k-tQ0_ZCqA3TB6gA&e=
Maxim Alzoba:thanks
Samantha Eisner:Thanks for having us
Emily Barabas:a. GNSO Chair - The Bylaws provide that the GNSO Chair or another person may be designated. What criteria should be used to decide whether another person should be designated? Is the GNSO Chair the default designation or fallback choice if no other person can be designated?
Emily Barabas:b. Qualifying Criteria - If another person should be designated, what are qualifying criteria? Process to review/evaluate qualified candidates? Who should be considered qualified? Should the call for volunteers be limited (for example to GNSO Councilors) or open call? Can a general process for appointments/nominations be followed?
Emily Barabas:c. Alternate Rep - Is there a need to consider an alternate in case the representative is not available or make an interim appointment should the designated representative step down?
Emily Barabas:d. Term and Renewal What should be the term for the representative? Annual certification is required by the Bylaws but that does not necessarily need to align with the term. Is there a term limit? What should be the renewal requirements? What is the timeline for the selection / approval process?
Julf Helsingius:Should we ask the bylaws drafting team what the intent is/was?
Poncelet Ileleji:I agree @Julf
Maxim Alzoba:@Julf, I think we need to give mic to Susan then we come back to your question
Samantha Eisner:@Julf, as I mentioned during my remarks, the Chair was identified as a fallback so that there was sure to always be someone available from each of the Decisional Participants
Julf Helsingius:ack!
Samantha Eisner:There is no indication of term limits, only a requirement for annual certification, so it's up to each Decisional Participant on how frequently they wish to assess who is serving as their representative
Marika Konings:Susan, if you would like a dial-out, please let us know
Susan Kawaguchi:sorry microphone challenged tryigng to fix it
Marika Konings:Maxim, Sam has her hand up
Susan Kawaguchi:Terri please dial out to me
Samantha Eisner:And in terms of alternates, it is really up to the Decisional Participant if they wish to have a process for that, but there would have to be a notice available to the community of the alternate stepping into the role
Marika Konings:she may be able to provide some clarification
Terri Agnew:@susan, dialing
Susan Kawaguchi:no it isn't working
Susan Kawaguchi:I am so sorry
Terri Agnew:Susan is on the telephone
Marika Konings:Yes
Maxim Alzoba:@Susan we hear you
Osvaldo Novoa:We commented before that the representative should have experience in the GNSO Council, a former member, not an actual member.
Osvaldo Novoa:I favor a former GNSO Council member
Julf Helsingius:Former or current
Marika Konings:obviously you would have a closer connection to the decisions and those that would need to be passed on with someone who is actually on the Council
Maxim Alzoba:+1 Julf (Former of current)
Osvaldo Novoa: I agree with Juff
Frederic Guillemaut:former / current, yes
Osvaldo Novoa:The representative has to be confirmed by the GNSO Council, so he or she needs the support of the Council.
Marika Konings:what would qualify as former? How many years ago? Or if someone has been on the Council at any point of time?
Poncelet Ileleji:@Marika I will say at least 2 years on Council
Poncelet Ileleji:Prior must not neccesary be on Council now
Mary Wong:There is also no separate travel support or funding for the EC Administration.
Maxim Alzoba:and third option - rep of GNSO bodies (with support of those bodies) and with ultimate support of the GNSO Council
Frederic Guillemaut:we need to have a choice, so 5 years might be better.
Maxim Alzoba:I recommend no less than 1 year (6 months usually required to get grip)
Osvaldo Novoa:I think that the Council has to be informed of everything that happens in the EC Administration, in order to instruct adecquately the GNSO representative, but there is no need for the representative to be up to date on what happens in the Council. The representative cannot take any decisions, just communicates the decisions of the Council.
Mary Wong:Note also that just as the Council meets via teleconference, the EC Admin will probably do the same. It's not clear that the EC Admin will need to meet at every ICANN Public Meeting in any case.
Marika Konings:travel support slots are allocated by SG/Cs so they would need to consider making one of their slots available
Julf Helsingius:didn't we reserve 90 min for this call?
Julf Helsingius:Ah, thanks!
Maxim Alzoba:same time next week ?
Maxim Alzoba:RySG call has started and I need to be there
Julf Helsingius:next week same time works for me
Maxim Alzoba:Could we do usuall time of the meeting poll?
Maxim Alzoba:next week works for me - though it is my PTO :(
Poncelet Ileleji:OWorks for me too
Poncelet Ileleji:sorry for typo
Maxim Alzoba:I think we need to be back to our questions next week
Marika Konings:We'll go ahead and schedule the call for the same time next week
Terri Agnew:will get invite sent out shorlty for call next week , same time
Frederic Guillemaut:i will not be available next wednesday
Osvaldo Novoa:Thanks all and bye
