Hi all, Mohamed, Patrik and I have sorted out how we will be dividing up various chair responsibilities going forward, and we wanted to share the results of that with you so that you know which of us you can expect to be hearing from about specific topics and which of us you should get in touch with about specific discussions. Of course, we will be working together as a team and will continue to be contributing as individual participants, but we wanted to identify point people for specific tasks so that nothing falls through the cracks. Here is the rough breakdown that we arrived at: Secretariat liaison - Patrik - Meeting planning: venues/rooms, interpreters, logistics, travel - Web site / communications - Mohamed will assist - IT needs (e.g., comments forum, Dropbox, etc.) - RFP work with Adiel Future meeting planning - Draft agenda creation - shared between Mohamed, Patrik, Alissa - Alissa will chair meetings when available, delegate otherwise - Sept 6 meeting: Mohamed and Patrik will share chairing duties Shepherding work items (setting deadlines, sending reminders, liaising with task owners) - Communities RFP - Mohamed - Secretariat document(s) - Patrik - Consensus document - Alissa - Charter - Alissa - Timeline - Alissa - IGF statement - Mohamed - Future work items will be sorted out as needed We also wanted to set expectations about private emails that we may receive from you in our capacities as chairs. If you email us about ICG administrative matters, we may forward those to the secretariat, or loop the secretariat in on the email thread. If you email any one of us about ICG matters that are not for discussion on this mailing list, we may loop in the other two chairs on the email thread. If you do not want us to loop in the other two chairs on any particular side discussion, please make that clear in your email so that the recipient among us knows to keep it private. Thanks, Alissa
