I support this element. Best regards Wolf-Ulrich From: joseph alhadeff Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2014 2:46 PM To: internal-cg@icann.org Subject: Re: [Internal-cg] Participation in ICG - 6 points to reach consensus on Just to recall that in respect of 6 I have suggested that "Write Access" needs to come with a document system that supports showing both edits and attribution of authorship.

In addition, I have seen feedback from: Adiel Akplogan Joseph Alhadeff Lynn St.Amour Manal Ismail Wolf-Ulrich Knoben Milton Müller Jon Nevett Jean-Jacques Subrenat Paul Wilson I.e. 10 people I know the view of. Everyone of those commenting agree with the following 6 suggestions for the first 5 issues: 1. Members and liaisons to ICG Suggestion: When consensus is to be reached, consensus is only among members (not members+liaisons). 2. Support staff Suggestion: We accept the proposal from ICANN to until further notice from ICG continue with this set of support staff: Theresa, Ergys, Alice, Jim and Hillary. 3. Interim appointed GAC member Suggestion: The IGC thank Tracy for the ability to participate. 4. Minutes of our meeting Suggestion: We postpone discussion on minutes and otherwise record taking of our future meetings to the discussion on the Secretariat. Suggestion: Until minutes from first meeting are complete, Sam Dickingson should be treated as support staff (together with Theresa, Ergys, Alice, Jim and Hillary). 5. ICANN backup contacts Suggestion: We support ICANN in this proposal, thanks Jamie and Grace for their ability to help, and I validate the situation that they have been removed from the mailing list and that way got special treatment compared with other ICANN staff. For the last issue, regarding "write access" to our documents the feedback is split. First a reminder what I wrote: 6. Write access to our documents Everyone is to be given read access to our documents. Question is who should get read/write access. We have a number of alternatives here, and which one we choose depends on what answers we get on the questions above. Alternative A: Members only Today members of ICG do have write access, and update of documents there depends on members doing explicit actions. Alternative B: Members + liaisons To make feedback loop from liaisons easier, we also give write access for liaisons. This do give ability for liaisons to write in documents, which might be preferable for example in the form of change tags in Word documents. Alternative C: Members + Support Staff By letting support staff write to documents members will be relieved from the task of updating documents and otherwise do purely administerial tasks. Alternative D: Members + Liaisons + Support Staff A merge of alternative B and C. In reality it implies (given my suggestion on issue 5 above finds consensus in ICG) that all members of this mailing list do get read/write access to the documents. Suggestion: Alternative D, i.e. all Members, Liaisons and Support Staff get read/write access to our documents. Out of the individuals I have heard from, I have the following feedback, in order depending on how supportive the individuals are of D and other alternatives: D, with additional information that in practice it is the only workable alternative: Patrik Fältström Paul Wilson Wolf-Ulrich Knoben Lynn St.Amour D, without any details: Jon Nevett Manal Ismail Jean-Jacques Subrenat D, with the constraint that it must be possible to trace who made what change: Joseph Alhadeff Prefer C, but can live with D: Adiel Akplogan Against D, and instead prefer A: Milton Müller I hope this helps.
