Fwd: Discussion Paper - Producing a New Form of the RAA
by Carlton Samuels Oct. 15, 2011

Oct. 15, 2011

This is an important issue for advice so this heads-up is quite appropriate..and useful. It is in English but.... Thanks to Alan Greenberg, ALAC liaison to the GNSO, for this early warning. Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On 14 October 2011 14:13, Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg(a)mcgill.ca> wrote: I am forwarding this note from Kurt Pritz related to options for amending the Registrar Accreditation Agreement.

This paper suggests possible options for consideration by the community to move the RAA amendment process forward in a cooperative and timely manner. This paper was prepared in response to a request from the Board to categorize proposed amendment topics and summarize possible options for next steps. The recent efforts by the GNSO Council to address some of the law enforcement recommendations demonstrate progress and are encouraging. There are many other proposals to be addressed. We believe that this paper can be useful in identifying additional alternative paths. To be clear, this is not intended to interrupt current work or advance ICANN Board or staff opinion in the policy discussions. The paper is meant to be responsive to requests for information. It is also meant to signal that there will be a high level of staff support to facilitate the development of RAA amendments and any related policy activities. Two additional points: You will find that the categorization of topics is not as straightforward as we all might prefer. As described in the paper, it is difficult to determine whether a proposal is a policy issue or is within the picket fence without considering specific amendment language. Finally, the paper indicates a preference for undertaking substantive discussion now, to develop specific recommendations for amendments through negotiation or policy development or both. We hope that this Discussion Paper will encourage further dialogue in Dakar with the GNSO Council, the Registrar Stakeholder Group, and the ICANN community with regard to identifying an acceptable path forward. I am sure this paper is likely to raise questions also. I think an exchange of questions and answers is important to realize the full benefit of the thought that went into this ? a writing does not always capture or describe all the ideas generated. Please direct those questions to Margie Milam, who will share them with the cross-functional team that worked on this for your consideration.

Re: [lac-discuss-en] [ALAC] [ALAC-ExCom] ALAC/At-Large Improvements Project -- important update
by Beau Brendler Oct. 13, 2011

Oct. 13, 2011

Why don't we appoint someone from the RALO level (who is not on ALAC) to work with each RALO chair to help resolve issues from below. That would not necessarily help evaluate the performance of the nomcom appointees, but it would help evaluate the bulk of the ALAC elected people. People in each RALO and the chairs could be invited to e-mail that person with concerns which could, in turn, be discussed with the chairs and evaluated. Then that material could be presented in a quarterly report or tri-annual report at the ICANN meetings to the excom. I wouldn't want to use the term ombudsman, but maybe that person could also work in conjunction with the ombudsman's office (since we are, in effect, dealing here with HR issues, but with no HR department, and with, after all, volunteers) to make sure proper procedure and good manners are followed. My guess would be that someone from the secretariat would make a good candidate for such a new "position." And maybe that "position" could come with some kind of stipend to sweeten the deal a little bit. Whoever did it would have to have a good sense of what's right and wrong, good common sense, and preferably some HR experience or interest. Most organizations that lean on a lot of volunteers have a "volunteer coordinator" position that is paid staff, who deals with these sorts of issues. We have no such thing. Instead we keep hand-wringing about it year-in and year-out. The ICANN staff currently assigned to us have their hands full with meeting procedure and whatnot, and it wouldn't be appropriate for ICANN to be evaluating performance in this manner anyway. I mean, we are talking about a lot of volunteers here, at least 30 or so, who are providing free labor worth hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. To not have a basic system of evaluation and "job performance" for a fluid administration of people who have enormous learning curves, and are sometimes thrown into these positions without much preparation, is absurd. It's also a poor return on investment. And asking everyone to do busy work or be judged on the number of (often pointless and time-wasting) conference calls they show up for is a substantial penalty on the people who actually do good work -- it is not the solution to a problem. Just a thought.

I am not sure they are difficult to assess, but they are most definitely subjective.

Not only is this counterintuitive but inimical to the public interest. Yes to JDs and 'objective' performance criteria. Just like the case of civil elections returning common fools and confirmed halfwits from time to time, let's hew to the process for the corrective. The response for non-performance for those who are voted in is to be voted down. Or, at minimum, encourage those who vote to see the errors of their ways with education and information. For those appointed, the obvious response is to improve vetting before appointment. Or, in egregious circumstances, institute a program for recalling the commission. On principle, I cannot and will not agree to any setup where a valid and in all cases legally-conforming vote is responsible for conferring authority and that is overturned because of 'non-performance' without recourse to the voters.

Oct. 13, 2011

As I have already stated, I cannot vote for any report that recommends "sanctions" on volunteers, even if they are yet to be determined. The state of mind that delivers this gem can only be repudiated for cause. There is a dangerous flirting with principle and even so, I was willing to hold my nose and vote for a report that equates travel support required to execute a voluntary mission as a "gift" that can be withheld by ICANN, the corporation! It doesn't require any deep introspection to see how this posture devalues the time, effort, the knowledge products and yes, even funds that volunteers gift to this thing of ours, this names and numbers policy development complex. So here it is. Within the framework that we operate, I can sometimes overlook people being wrong headed. But I am unanimous the whole concept of "sanctions" for a volunteer engaged in a voluntary effort really is offensive to reason. I personally cannot stomach too many of those. This one is rejected. I shall vote NO.
