Hi Patrik,
Sorry I missed commenting on your bellow email, on short leave with limited Internet access.
I do support your raised 5 points, for no.6, supporting option "D" with Joe suggestion to introduce authors auditing/changes tracking mechanism.
Alissa,My summary of the feedback is as follows.I created the proposal and because of that of course stand behind all suggestions.In addition, I have seen feedback from:Adiel AkploganJoseph AlhadeffLynn St.AmourManal IsmailWolf-Ulrich KnobenMilton MüllerJon NevettJean-Jacques SubrenatPaul WilsonI.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 FältströmPaul WilsonWolf-Ulrich KnobenLynn St.AmourD, without any details:Jon NevettManal IsmailJean-Jacques SubrenatD, with the constraint that it must be possible to trace who made what change:Joseph AlhadeffPrefer C, but can live with D:Adiel AkploganAgainst D, and instead prefer A:Milton MüllerI hope this helps. Regards, Patrik
