I don't think it is a Bylaws problem because they do add that we have to agree. Although I suspect we would agree, although with a lot of bad feelings, but I did ask Larisa what wuld happen if we did NOT agree. Would we still have funding and support to continue? And she said they had not thought about that...

I agree that this is a diversion that we could have done without and it will take resources, at least at the leadership level.

I think this raises a bylaws point. This is a review mandated by the Bylaws, which even set a time frame for its regular occurrence. Now putting it up for Community discussion whether we're having this review, whether it should change its scope or whether it should stop for a while, essentially puts the bylaws requirement up for Community discussion. We as individuals may serve "at the pleasure of the community" but the process itself is not at the disposal of any public consultation, so I believe this whole exercise is legally on not very sound footing.
 
And this idea that we then agree or disagree with the outcome of the public consultation seems courageous to me, in the "Yes Minister" sense – so what is the point off the exercise if we then just get to ignore the Community view if we so please? To help us make an informed decision on options that we never thought of ourselves or were invited to have a say in in the first place but that someone has benevolently designed in an effort to reduce our workload? I think we should participate in the webinar (we may be the only ones given that other RDS/WHOIS mess) and explain this.
 
But I should be working on surveys instead of commenting on this mess… that much for workload reduction.
 
Best regards
Cathrin

Dear Alan,
 
I think we should continue our work as planned.
 
I agree with Chris that the RT should respond to the call to the comments ASAP.

Hi Alan,

I absolutely agree that it is strange that ICANN seems to want to pause this without consulting us first. But as this is the cards we have been dealt, we need to figure out how to play them and in this case I vote for following the community consensus, if any.

As for Monday, it is a public holiday that I will be travelling on.

Best,

Volker

Volker,

Of course we serve at the pleasure of the community.

The question is process and timing. That this was done with no consultation with us, I find strange. But the really difficult part is that we are being told to keep on working (and I have confirmed that this is the intent) with a target of having a draft report complete just after the July F2F, and at THAT point, we may be told to scrap part of what we have been working on between now an then, or put the entire project on hold for some indeterminate time, and when it resumes it may be with a different team and much of the work will have to be redone.

We will discuss this further at the Monday meeting, and for those who will not be there, your input is appreciated ahead of time.

Susan has suggested that we go back to our appointing groups for their input.

the community, so I would not object to any 


consensus position either way. While a) is the most logical choice,


preserving most of our work efforts so far, the others also have
some 


merit due to the changes ahead. And as ICANN has just thrown another


curve-ball in the form of the proposed temporary specification, more


change seems to be on the horizon, which could further outdate our
work 


product.


 


Best,
