UPDATE : Continuous Improvement Program Community Coordination Group (CIP-CCG)
by Caleb Olumuyiwa Ogundele June 5, 2024

June 5, 2024

Hello Everyone, This working group update is specifically for NPOC Membership but since we usually have or share the same position, I thought is good to share also with NCSG Members to ask for their feedback. This is the first update and I hope to write the second update in a few days time after the content of this email is digested as it promises to be a very long email content. The representation in this group has myself (Caleb) representing NPOC with Wisdom as the NPOC alternate while Manju is NCSG (through the GNSO Council) and Benjamin is NCUC. In case I miss anything, please jump in Manju, Wisdom, and Benjamin. But first, let me introduce what the working group is all about while we seek feedback *What is the Continuous Improvement Program Community Coordination Group (CIP-CCG)?* ICANN's commitment to continuous improvement led to the formation of the CIP-CCG on December 12, 2023. The purpose of the group is to improve the effectiveness of ICANN's Organizational Reviews process. This aligns with ongoing efforts to strengthen ICANN's multistakeholder model. The CIP-CCG will create a framework for continuous improvement within ICANN's Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees, and Nominating Committee. While this group was formed to help transform ICANN's Organizational Reviews into a Continuous Improvement Program, implementing Recommendation 3.6 from the Third Accountability and Transparency Review (ATRT3) <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=273454168> was the offshoot of this group formation. Developing this Continuous Improvement Program is part of a broader effort to enhance the effectiveness of ICANN's multistakeholder model, aligning with ICANN's Interim President and CEO's Goal 11 <https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-interim-president-and-ceo-shar…> related to refining the review processes. To read more about this check this link <https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-reviews-program-update-and-int…> *The key responsibilities of the CIP-CCG are:* 1. Establish a shared understanding of what "continuous improvement" means in the context of ATRT3's Recommendation 3.6. 2. Evaluate different methodologies for effective Continuous Improvement Programs. 3. Agree on the methodology best suited for ICANN's purposes. 4. Formulate a Continuous Improvement Program Framework to be used by ICANN's Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees, and the Nominating Committee. * ICANN Principles of Continuous Improvement to NPOC (But relevant and same content for NCUC/NCSG)* Historically, ICANN Organizational Reviews have asked whether the Supporting Organizations (SOs), Advisory Committees (ACs), and the Nominating Committee (NomCom) have a continuing purpose within the ICANN community. Rather than articulating this as a single principle, ICANN org proposes it as an overarching consideration that is addressed through five separate principles that would guide the successful execution of the Continuous Improvement Program (CIP). 1. Principle 1: The SO/AC is fulfilling its purpose. 2. Principle 2: The structure of the SO/AC is effective. 3. Principle 3: Are the operations of SO/AC are efficient? 4. Principle 4: Is the SO/AC is accountable internally to its stakeholders, and externally to the wider ICANN community? 5. Principle 5: The ICANN community collaborates to further the mission of ICANN and the effectiveness of the ICANN multistakeholder model. We have been tasked to ask the community for some feedback. While I hope to collate some of your thoughts and take back to the WG. To make this email brief, I will break this email into several parts for us to digest the content while I post other updates in a day or two from now. *Caleb Ogundele* Email: muyiwacaleb(a)gmail.com

Re: [Npoc-discuss] NPOC Election Candidate Q&A via Email
by Juan Manuel Rojas May 29, 2024

May 29, 2024

Thanks, Glenn and Judith, for your questions. I will try to answer both at the same time because they are similar and aligned in thought. As all my colleagues have mentioned, we have worked together on many aspects. In policy, we highlighted the relevance of the Transfer Policy Review within our Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group. This was something I personally emphasized in some of our policy meetings. Topics such as the Application Support Program and Subsequent Procedures (SubPro) were discussed by us at our membership meeting in San Juan. We worked together to bring people to our table to discuss these issues and to address our concerns. We arranged bilateral meetings with ALAC leadership, SSAC members, and others. As a result, NPOC led the NCSG public comment on these matters, primarily through the efforts of Bolutife and Emmanuel. Additionally, we have updated our membership list by contacting each member to confirm their information is current. This was a "to do" task from previous years that we finally completed. The vast majority of our members were very excited to be contacted, and some are already re-engaging in our discussions. We hope this can bring back people who were previously engaged in ICANN to share their experiences and knowledge with us, thus strengthening our constituency. In terms of communication, we have worked on several administrative areas to improve efficiency. We have implemented some automation tools to facilitate this process. For our next membership meeting, we will have guests from Africa, and we will also be discussing the NetMundial results. This effort helps us understand the main concerns from the African perspective regarding gTLDs, and we would like to invite everyone to join us. I forgot to mention that I am involved as the NCSG representative for the Transfer Policy Review, as an alternate on the Subsequent Procedures IRT (ASP SubTrack), and as the NPOC representative on the Council Committee for Overseeing and Implementing Continuous Improvement (CCOICI) JUAN MANUEL ROJAS, M.Sc.

Yes we have extracted those list and thank you for bringing this to my attention and up publicly as I think it deserves some credit for work done and some attention for the fact that we made lots of progress on this. For those who might be wondering, we had some technical issues with our membership report extraction platform (obviously not a fault of mine or anyone on the EC ) for a while now which we have made progress on. Apparently some bugs in the codebase since it is a platform we all inherited and have to work with despite it's limitations. I believe under your leadership as the then Chair you knew this challenges existed which was reported overtime. Thanks to the dedication of the NCSG EC and support of staff that helped resolved some of outstanding issue. Again, I believe there was a call for folks to join the NCSG tech team to volunteer. You can also volunteer to make those continuous improvements progress that we have made so far.

Several members of the EC have asked you to produce a comprehensive list of them for the last three years, but you have not been able to do that, which is a very core of your duties. I actually start to doubt that you can not even produce it even if you wanted to. This would be a very serious defect for a person that has been the membership chair for the past five years already? I want to know whether Caleb has been able to keep track of our members, which is his most important duty, and produce the list of members as per the current cand past chairs' request. -Raoul On Tue, 28 May 2024 at 15:21, Andrea Glandon via Npoc-discuss <npoc-discuss(a)icann.org> wrote: Hello all, The candidate Q&A will be conducted via email for NPOC.
