Public session at ICANN 51?
by Alissa Cooper Sept. 29, 2014

Sept. 29, 2014

I know you’re all getting tired of emails from me, but I have a question (well, a few questions) … Should the ICG host a public session at ICANN 51, to provide a status update and hear from the community? (My answer: yes.) How long should the session be? 90 minutes? I’m asking now because we need to start working with the ICANN 51 agenda folks if we want to make it happen. Thanks, Alissa

worth noting
by Milton L Mueller Sept. 29, 2014

A complaint has been filed against the names community's working group. http://forum.icann.org/lists/icg-forum/msg00011.html Alissa made some similar comments on the IETF ianaplan list. Although I have publicly explained why they set it up that way, frankly I find the CWG Structure hard to defend. I wonder whether others more closely involved with the IANA CWG chartering process could explain whether it is possible to make some amendments. The group is slow enough to form as it is, I tremble at the thought of amendments that would lead to further delays, but it might actually save time if it prevents challenges to its legitimacy further down the road.

Agenda items for Oct 1 call
by Alissa Cooper Sept. 25, 2014

Sept. 25, 2014

For the Oct 1 call, I think we have a few potential agenda items: * Minutes approval for Sept 17 call * Review ICANN 51 schedule and logistics * Discussion of FAQ These are contingent on documents becoming available for review before the call, so we can adjust this if necessary next week. My hope is that we will have a draft FAQ available for review and that will take the bulk of the time on the call. Alissa

Provisional ICANN 51 schedule
by Alissa Cooper Sept. 25, 2014

Sept. 25, 2014

Here is the provisional schedule for ICANN 51: Meeting with ALAC [1] Tuesday, 14 October 15:45-16:45 PT Room: Olympic https://community.icann.org/x/TMLhAg http://la51.icann.org/en/schedule/tue-alac-work-ii (Unconfirmed) Meeting with GAC [1] Wednesday, 15 October 10:30-11:30 PT Location TBC Community Discussion with the ICG [2] Thursday, 16 October 10:00-12:00 PT Room: Los Angeles http://la51.icann.org/en/schedule/thu-icg-community ICG Dinner Thursday, 16 October 20:15-22:00 PT Location TBC ICG Mtg #3 [3] Friday, 17 October 09:00-17:30 PT Room: Westside http://la51.icann.org/en/schedule/fri-icg [1] I have reached out individually to ICG members off-list to ensure that we have people at each of these meetings who can speak about the processes being used to develop the names, numbers, and protocol parameters proposals, respectively, and how to participate in those processes. Participation from the rest of the ICG members is desirable but not required if you have scheduling conflicts. I have also reached out to CWG folks to see if a CWG-ICG meeting might be arranged and will share more information when I have it. [2] Patrik is working on the agenda for this session. [3] Patrik, Mohamed, and I will share a draft agenda for this meeting prior to the start of ICANN 51. Alissa

Social gathering at ICANN 51
by Alissa Cooper Sept. 25, 2014

Sept. 25, 2014

Mohamed, Patrik and I were thinking it might be nice to set aside some time for ICG members to gather socially during ICANN 51, outside of our scheduled meeting time. We’d like to propose a gathering in the evening on Thursday, October 16 (the night before our face-to-face meeting). Questions for the group: Are you in favor of a social gathering? Would you prefer that we each cover our own costs individually, or that ICANN cover the whole group’s costs (budget permitting)? Feel free to respond to me off-list for privacy reasons if you’d prefer, on-list otherwise. Thanks, Alissa

Comments for the operational communities
by Alissa Cooper Sept. 24, 2014

Sept. 24, 2014

We have received a set of comments that I think would be appropriate for us to re-direct to all of the operational community processes: http://forum.icann.org/lists/icg-forum/msg00009.html I can take care of sending them to the IETF IANAPLAN working group. Adiel/Paul/Hartmut, could one of you forward these to the RIRs? Could I get a volunteer from the naming community to forward them to the CWG? Thanks, Alissa

Plan for side meetings / ICANN 51
by Alissa Cooper Sept. 23, 2014

Sept. 23, 2014

Dear all, I’d like to summarize where we are with respect to ICG side meetings with specific communities, at ICANN 51 and beyond. First, we have extended our open session with the community by 30 minutes, to 120 minutes. Patrik is working on the agenda for that session. The intent with the extra time is to provide more time for Q&A with the community, and perhaps to address specific questions that may have come up earlier in the ICANN 51 meeting week. Second, there is strong support for the development of an FAQ so that we can have a shared resource when answering questions that may arise in various sessions and venues. I have asked Manal and Martin to develop a first draft of the FAQ and my hope is that we can book time on our October 1 call to discuss and refine it. There is limited time between now and ICANN 51, so I think the goal here should not be perfection, but to have talking points that we find useful as a group. To that point, whether we formally “publish” the FAQ on our web site or just use the draft for our own purposes at the meeting can be decided at some future time — the goal for now should be to have an internal resource. Also, there has been some discussion about the inclusion of questions/answers concerning the process to be followed after we receive proposals. I will send a separate email about that. Third, we have received two explicit requests for side meetings at ICANN 51 — one from ALAC, and one from the GAC. As our discussion on this topic has evolved, I believe we have rough consensus to proceed with scheduling these meetings, provided that certain conditions are met (most of the discussion has focused on the GAC request, but I think some of the arguments that have been given from a variety of people posting to the list and on the call extend to ALAC and other groups as well). These conditions have been mentioned (to some extent I’m paraphrasing Patrik) and I think we should make use of them: (a) Side meetings are public, minuted, and, to the extent possible, translated. (These conditions will be met by the ALAC and GAC arrangements.) (b) We announce that we are accepting meeting invitations from interested parties (at ICANN 51 and beyond) and that we will respond if requests seem justified and resources permit. (c) For the round of meetings at ICANN 51 focused on how to participate in operational community processes, we ensure that at least one ICG member each from protocol parameters, numbers, gTLDs, and ccTLDs are available to join the meetings, and we welcome participation from as many other ICG members whose schedules can accommodate the meetings. In general, we assume for side meetings that having a small group of us represent the ICG is fine, while having a larger subset of us participate is preferred. My plan is to proceed with the tasks necessary to fulfill the conditions above — responding to ALAC and GAC about scheduling, getting an announcement posted, and figuring out who will be available to attend the meetings. There have also been some suggestions that we should try to get meetings scheduled with the CCWG and the ccNSO. If you are participating in those groups, believe that a meeting would be beneficial, and can help with scheduling, please make that known on the list and I will follow up with you. Thanks, Alissa

Just to be clear — I imagine the social gathering will consist of drink and/or food, which is where the costs would come from.
