Fwd: MSSI Support for SSR2-RT

For Your Information >To: Theresa Swinehart <theresa.swinehart(a)icann.org> >From: Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg(a)mcgill.ca> >Subject: MSSI Support for SSR2-RT >Cc: Khaled Koubaa <Khaled.koubaa(a)board.icann.org>, SOAC Chairs ><soac-chairs(a)icann.org>, Board SSR2 Caucus <board-caucus-ssr2(a)icann.org> > >Dear Theresa, > >This letter is being sent on behalf of the SO/AC Chairs. > >Based on discussions with the SSR2 Review Team (RT) at ICANN60, a >confidential survey conducted by the SO/AC Chairs of RT members, and >one-on-one discussions between RT members and their respective SO/AC >leaders, our understanding is that there are two areas where the RT >believes that they could benefit from enhanced MSSI support. > >1. Better records of RT meetings, both face-to-face and >teleconferences. Currently MSSI support provides a record of >decisions made by the RT and Action Items (for both RT members and >MSSI staff). In addition to these current efforts, the Review Team >requests that high-level notes of discussions be captured during the >meetings, similar to the notes that are taken by staff for many CCWG >meeting discussions as well as for GNSO PDPs, and comparable to the >records of Board discussions that often form a part of Board >minutes. The SO/AC Chairs consider that this request is reasonable. > >2. Improved response to RT requests. RT members have expressed >a concern that ICANN (via MSSI staff) has been slow in providing >answers to questions and further information. Clearly this is a >subjective issue, both in regard to how quickly responses should be >provided and to what extent requests are reasonable and able to be >addressed within the expected response time. Nevertheless, as it has >been identified as a concern of RT members and is potentially >hindering the RT's effectiveness, we believe that this should be >addressed. The SO/AC Chairs suggest the following: > >a) For all requests for information (which are already logged >as MSSI Action Items), MSSI to the extent practical should estimate >expected response time and track response time. > >b) When a response cannot meet expectations, the RT should be >notified with an amended expectation and explanation for the >extended time needed. > >c) If the RT or RT leadership believes that the response or >response time in any given instance is unsatisfactory, this should >be raised with MSSI staff. > >d) If the question cannot be responded to or requires >clarification, or if ICANN org for some other reasons does not feel >the request is appropriate, MSSI must flag this as a "critical >issue" to be addressed. Such "critical issues" may also be raised by >RT leadership, RT members, MSSI or other ICANN staff in the event of >a disagreement on resources or information availability. To the >extent possible, a rationale should be clearly expressed to enable >the RT to understand the situation. > >e) Any such "critical issue" should be explicitly noted as an >Action Item. A small group consisting of the Board Liaison to the >RT, one member of MSSI staff and one from the RT leadership (or one >that the RT leadership appoints) will work to either ensure that >adequate resources are made available or RT expectations are reset >at a more appropriate level or whatever other action is appropriate >to allow the issue be resolved. Immediately when a "critical issue" >is raised, the OEC and SO/AC Chairs should be notified, and both OEC >and SO/AC Chairs should, if at least one of the three persons in the >subgroup so requests, help by having a representative participate in >the discussions. > >f) the process above should be considered for inclusion in the >Operating Standards. > >We would appreciate your thoughts on these proposals. > > >Sent on behalf of: > >Alan Greenberg, Chair, ALAC >Paul Wilson, Chair, ASO >Katrina Sataki, Chair, ccNSO >Manal Ismail, Chair, GAC >Heather Forrest, Chair, GNSO >Tripti Sinha, Co-Chair, RSSAC >Brad Verd, Co-Chair, RSSAC >Rod Rasmussen, Chair, SSAC > >
