Re: [Rt4-whois] First Face to Face Meetings - updated table
Thanks All, I appreciate all the email, and we have a much more complete table! While half our team will be in Cartagena, all of us are available in mid-January for a meeting. To hold a solid, substantive, face-to-face meeting, our time is January. I'll circulate some ideas and a request for a planning committee for the January meeting shortly (please feel free to send initial thoughts and ideas to me). I would also like to recommend that, for those of us who are attending the Cartagena meeting, we have a short social hour to introduce ourselves-- no agenda, no substantive discussion. Would anyone not attending the Cartagena meeting object or feel excluded by this type of get together? Please find the table attached.

Dear Kathy Many thanks for compiling this information on behalf of the group. I think your proposals sound sensible, particularly the idea of a social in Cartagena (sorry I'll be missing that, but I would not feel excluded at all because it's not a substantive meeting, but a get together), and am looking forward to seeing everyone in mid-January!

Is there any possibility of our getting together before January? I recall Brian Cute's statements last week concerning the importance of face-to-face meetings to advance the work at critical junctures. I think the beginning of an effort is one of those times and it is unfortunate that so many of our number are unable to travel to Cartagena.

fine with me, but *please* could wew start the process of agreeing on a date (or maybe 1 or 2 alternatives) *right now*? There's quite a bit of competition for timeslots, for some of us, and the more things which linger around, the more difficult it becomes to schedule the competing requests :-(
I'll circulate some ideas and a request for a planning committee for the January meeting shortly (please feel free to send initial thoughts and ideas to me).
I would also like to recommend that, for those of us who are attending the Cartagena meeting, we have a short social hour to introduce ourselves-- no agenda, no substantive discussion.
While I agree, that we should not go for a full-blown "formal" meeting if we plan to hold that in January, I'd like to put a bit more flesh onto the bones. In particular, I'd like to have the relevant/involved ICANN individuals join in (assuming that most of them will be in Cartagena anyway, but not necessarily able to join us in January!?). As an additional idea, we could try to work with ICANN staff on discussing our communcation infrastructure and maybe even agree on the next steps. I'd really like to have that available (stable, test-driven,...) *before* the January meeting.
Would anyone not attending the Cartagena meeting object or feel excluded by this type of get together?
If(!) the team agrees on this suggested "upgrade", could we have a show of hands, (Kathy - can you collect that, too?) from those NOT going to Colombia, whether they would be able and willing to join in remotely?
Please find the table attached.
I presume we should let the people in ICANN, doing the planning right know, asap what type and level of support we'd like to get in Cartagena, e.g a room and remote access,...
All the best,
Kathy

Hello All, I agree with Wilfired that we should use the Sunday that ICANN has already scheduled for a constructive meeting. By waiting until January for the full team to meet we will lose time in gaining momentum with the team. ICANN has drastically improved the remote participation tools and since we have at least half of the team already committed to the meeting we could have a fruitful discussion. If it is expenses alone that is limiting participation we have a budget for travel and we should use it. I have attached proposed guidelines for the team. I spent time reviewing other group's guidelines or rules on the ICANN website and have incorporated some of that into this document. I have also included Bill's Scope of Work and some of the issues brought up in the email threads. Please take a moment to review it and provide comment as I am sure I have not hit on all the details we need to think about. This is a starting point and by tracking it in a document I think we can work through the details and bring clarity to many issues quickly.

Hi All, I think we should take a vote on holding a one-day meeting in Cartagena -- on Sunday, 12/5. We learned on 11/1, in Olof's message, that there are facilities available for such a meeting. Given the lateness of the notice for those not already planning to be in Cartagena, I proposed an alternative for January in London. (I personally find remote participation for long periods of time very difficult.) Mostly, I feel we should not be split for our first meeting. So let me put out the vote: all in favor of a full-day meeting in Cartagena -- please vote YES. Opposed, please vote NO.

Hello All, I have broken out the Scope of Work and the proposed Drafting Team language from the original document I sent a couple hours ago at Kathy's suggestion. Hopefully, this will make it easier to read and we can come to agreement on the process as we move forward. I still think we should take advantage of the time many members are together in Cartegena and would propose we schedule a two hour meeting that includes remote participates on Sunday December 5th. If we have not come to agreement on the guidelines or Scope of Work by that time we could devote the time to an in depth discussion.

Happy to do that in the word doc, but before messing it up too much I'll go ahead and send a couple of questions around individually. Maybe that can make it easier for all of us to keep track of changes and to agree on what we want to see in the doc, then.

The first one will be on "quorum" and "majority". You have been warned :-) Wilfried.
Dear Team, I'd like to collect your views on the aspects of quorum, votes and majority. The draft "WRT Guidelines" propose: - Quorum - A majority of the total number of WRT Members constitutes a quorum. Proxy votes shall not count toward the presence of a quorum. In principle this is fine for me. Looking at the framework for e.g. the Address council, this very basic requirment is paired up with the Regional Diversity aspect, i.e. majority + all regions being represented. As we do not have the formal regional diversity in RT4, and neither the requirement, I wonder if there are some other aspects we want to consider. Actually, given *this* group, I would feel more comfortable with something like two thirds, but I can live with 50%+ as well. Getting to the voting stuff: - Voting [...] Motions that receive a majority of votes cast shall be deemed approved. I read that to say: majority of votes present in the meeting. I am sort of fine with a suggestion of simple majority, but as we should rather strive to achieve rough consensus, this may be a tad too loose, in particular considering proxy votes. I could easily image a motion to being accepted with far less than 50% of the votes in the team being in favour. I may be missing something here? Thus I'd like to propose 2 thoughts: + a motion passes when it reives a majority of votes present in the team, proxy votes are counted as regular votes, or + we keep the very relaxed regime of majority of votes present in the meeting but we either do not count proxy votes for determining majority (making them rather pointless, but still), and/or we restrict the decisions involving proxy votes to motions that have already been proposed, discussed and seconded in a previous meeting; or circulated on the Team's mailing list. (lead-time?) In the absence of other qualifiers for quorum, my personal preference would be to always determine majority based on the number of votes in the team. I would be grateful for your thoughts. Wilfried.
Hi all On issues like quorum and voting I am in favour of simplicity Quorum - majority of members Voting - on all the boards and committees I've been involved in formal votes have been rare. Like Wilfried I am in favour of the rough consensus approach but if deadlocked we should have a voting mechanism. I think this should be a majority of votes cast Best Emily Sent from my iPhone On 8 Nov 2010, at 15:13, "Wilfried Woeber, UniVie/ACOnet" <Woeber@cc.univie.ac.at> wrote:

Presumably alternates do not count either?

With a simple majority quorum, just over 25% of the members of this team would be able to make decisions. That seem quite a distance from consensus; ICANN's "normal" mode of operations.
Getting to the voting stuff:
- Voting [...] Motions that receive a majority of votes cast shall be deemed approved.
Do abstentions count as a vote or not? Before answering consider the following example: 12 members present 6 yes 4 no 2 abstentions How we decide this will determine the outcome of this, and other similar votes.
I read that to say: majority of votes present in the meeting.

If we allow proxies, and I'm not certain we should, the second proposal is one I could approve (and have used successfully before).
In the absence of other qualifiers for quorum, my personal preference would be to always determine majority based on the number of votes in the team.
I would be grateful for your thoughts. Wilfried.
In general, I would prefer that we attempt to achieve consensus on all issues. I've worked in a number of groups using this model and when all concerned give their best effort, it works wonderfully. All sides can be heard and it avoids the problem of "small majorities".

Thanks for the draft describing the Scope of Work! Looking at the AoC this is pretty much on the mark and should be, or rather has to be, our primary goal. At the same time I feel some "artificial restriction" in explicitely mentioning law enforcement and consumer trust, but ignoring all other parties that (may) have a legitimate interest in the working, and the accessibility of whois data. The most prominent example that springs to my mind is the community of operational security and incident teams. I'd like to suggest that we discuss the merits of including such aspects in the Scope of Work, as an aditional activity. On a more genral note, I think we should also "reserve the right" to come up with findings or recommendations that, if implemented, could be beneficial for all the stakeholders. Thanks for your input, Wilfried.
The draft "WRT Guidelines" propose: - The Chair – and any Vice-Chair(s) – must play a neutral role by refraining from pushing a specific agenda, ensuring fair treatment for all legitimate views and guaranteeing objectivity in identifying areas of agreement. I roughly agree, with the comment that this definition might disable the Chair as full member of the team. I think it takes a very well-managed person to remain fully neutral while at the same time participating in the discussion of a topic and expressing the personal point of view. We may want to consider a hand-over from the Chair to a Co-Chair / Vice-Chair for the duration of a discussion in which the acting Chair has a strong point of view to contribute. Regarding notes, reports, documentation and clerical ascpects, do we expect to make use of a Secretariat Role, either provided by ICANN or from within the team members? Regards, Wilfried.
This and, numerous other issues, are covered in Roberts Rules. I again suggest that we use them as the basis for our process. We can override them as we choose, a priori, but adopting them would enable us to move on to more substantive matters. Regarding chair neutrality, I take it as a given in a group such as this. Should the chair wish to express and opinion, they are entitled to relinquish the chair, state their opinion, and return to the chair when finished.

On a related note, I like Susan's movement forward on our Cartagena issues. I see it in three parts: 1. Is it acceptable to everyone to have a two-hour meeting in Cartagena (Sunday, 12/6) with remote participation? We should find the best 2-hour slot for maximum remote participation. 2. Does anyone oppose a public "meet and greet" session in Cartagena? Denise and Olof, is there a time available when Wilfried could join us? I truly don't see much that we can do at this session other than introduce ourselves and the Affirmation of Commitments. Susan and I were discussing that half an hour might be more than sufficient. 3. Has anyone changed their mind about a meeting in London? If not, we will start planning this as a major F2F meeting for the group.

I truly don't see much that we can do at this session other than introduce ourselves and the Affirmation of Commitments. Susan and I were discussing that half an hour might be more than sufficient.

Hello All,
I have broken out the Scope of Work and the proposed Drafting Team language from the original document I sent a couple hours ago at Kathy's suggestion.
Hopefully, this will make it easier to read and we can come to agreement on the process as we move forward.
I still think we should take advantage of the time many members are together in Cartegena and would propose we schedule a two hour meeting that includes remote participates on Sunday December 5th. If we have not come to agreement on the guidelines or Scope of Work by that time we could devote the time to an in depth discussion.
Susan

Hi All, I think we should take a vote on holding a one-day meeting in Cartagena -- on Sunday, 12/5. We learned on 11/1, in Olof's message, that there are facilities available for such a meeting.
Given the lateness of the notice for those not already planning to be in Cartagena, I proposed an alternative for January in London. (I personally find remote participation for long periods of time very difficult.)
Mostly, I feel we should not be split for our first meeting.
So let me put out the vote: all in favor of a full-day meeting in Cartagena -- please vote YES. Opposed, please vote NO.

Hello All,
I agree with Wilfired that we should use the Sunday that ICANN has already scheduled for a constructive meeting. By waiting until January for the full team to meet we will lose time in gaining momentum with the team. ICANN has drastically improved the remote participation tools and since we have at least half of the team already committed to the meeting we could have a fruitful discussion. If it is expenses alone that is limiting participation we have a budget for travel and we should use it.
I have attached proposed guidelines for the team. I spent time reviewing other group's guidelines or rules on the ICANN website and have incorporated some of that into this document. I have also included Bill's Scope of Work and some of the issues brought up in the email threads. Please take a moment to review it and provide comment as I am sure I have not hit on all the details we need to think about. This is a starting point and by tracking it in a document I think we can work through the details and bring clarity to many issues quickly.

Hi Kathy, all,
just a couple of thoughts.....
Kathy Kleiman wrote:
Thanks All,
I appreciate all the email, and we have a much more complete table! While half our team will be in Cartagena, all of us are available in mid-January for a meeting. To hold a solid, substantive, face-to-face meeting, our time is January.
fine with me, but *please* could wew start the process of agreeing on a date (or maybe 1 or 2 alternatives) *right now*?
There's quite a bit of competition for timeslots, for some of us, and the more things which linger around, the more difficult it becomes to schedule the competing requests :-(
I'll circulate some ideas and a request for a planning committee for the January meeting shortly (please feel free to send initial thoughts and ideas to me).
I would also like to recommend that, for those of us who are attending the Cartagena meeting, we have a short social hour to introduce ourselves-- no agenda, no substantive discussion.
While I agree, that we should not go for a full-blown "formal" meeting if we plan to hold that in January, I'd like to put a bit more flesh onto the bones.
In particular, I'd like to have the relevant/involved ICANN individuals join in (assuming that most of them will be in Cartagena anyway, but not necessarily able to join us in January!?).
As an additional idea, we could try to work with ICANN staff on discussing our communcation infrastructure and maybe even agree on the next steps. I'd really like to have that available (stable, test-driven,...) *before* the January meeting.
Would anyone not attending the Cartagena meeting object or feel excluded by this type of get together?
If(!) the team agrees on this suggested "upgrade", could we have a show of hands, (Kathy - can you collect that, too?) from those NOT going to Colombia, whether they would be able and willing to join in remotely?
Please find the table attached.
I presume we should let the people in ICANN, doing the planning right know, asap what type and level of support we'd like to get in Cartagena, e.g a room and remote access,...
All the best,
Kathy

In favour, and hoping that we can deal with the time-slot collision. Olof? I'd like to join in.
3. Has anyone changed their mind about a meeting in London? If not, we will start planning this as a major F2F meeting for the group.
My feeling is that there is rough consensus to go for a "full" meeting in January, probably in London.

Hi Susan Thank you for sending through your proposed Scope of Work and Drafting Team language. I have reviewed the documents, and made some suggestions and comments which are attached (using tracked changes). On the Scope, I think we need to pull out the different elements of the AoC's language here, because it's pretty rich, and there are numerous elements which we need to understand. In particular, I think that the phrase "promotes consumer trust" deserves some scrutiny - what is meant? who are the relevant "consumer" stakeholders - is this a legal definition of consumer as a sort of non-trading individual, or is it all those who "consume" domain name services, ie all internet users. What elements tend to promote consumer trust? Is it a single thing, or do different factors promote trust, depending on which stakeholder group you are part of? In other words, I see a large part of this group's task as stakeholder mapping, and identifying legitimate interests. In this way, we can inform ourselves about which are the relevant stakeholders (ie law enforcement and which ever stakeholders we think are contained in the concept "consumer trust"), and how their interests support each other or may be in conflict. If we can identify those conflicts, we can then look back at ICANN's policy and ask to what extent it is successful in meeting those needs. I'd also like to wave a little flag for benchmarking good practice. There's a lot of ccTLD good practice out there, and it might be worthwhile for this team to catalogue this for the purposes of benchmarking against ICANN's policy.

I tend to agree with Emily on the Scope of Work issue. I think it raises a number of questions of interpretation and definition. It is the most substantive of the issues we spun off for separate work, and the one with the least work to date. So my personal thought that we move forward quickly to finalize and adopt the excellent procedural work done to date (this meeting, or next): - Voting/Consensus mechanisms - Chair/Vice Chair Re: Scope of Work, I would urge that we ALL help in the direct development of the Scope of Work - perhaps by dividing into small groups in which each member plays a part. That will be the best way, I think, to incorporate the views and perspective of gTLDs and ccTLDs, IP and IDN, and others, right from the start. I see this as the first major substantive piece work of the whole Team.
