Connectivity - SSR2 Review Team - Meeting #30 | 21:00 UTC | Tuesday, 03 October 2017
by MSSI Secretariat Oct. 3, 2017

Oct. 3, 2017

Hello SSR2 Review Team - Good day. I just wanted to touch base regarding connectivity for our next SSR2 Review Team - Meeting #30 | 21:00 UTC | Tuesday, 03 October 2017. We have conquered many of the noise disturbances previously present and would like to ensure continued connectivity on future calls. For the best results in regions with connectivity, we suggest doing the following... * Connect to the Adobe Connect (https://participate.icann.org/ssrreview) 20-30 minutes before the scheduled call - the Adobe Connect room will be open and I will be available to assist you - in addition we can resolve any microphone/static/connection issues ahead of time - including connecting with international operators if need be. The goal is to have all connection concerns resolved by the top of the hour for the benefit of the team. * Be located (if possible) in an area that has proper broadband connection and is quiet - thus creating a strong signal connection, making it possible to see and hear in the Adobe Connect Room. * Feel free to Skype me either before, during or after the call - my skype address is yvette.guigneaux.icann - this way I can respond to you almost immediately for whatever you may need - including having the Adobe Connect Room dial out to you if need be. As your SSR2 Review Team Secretariat, I am determined to create an atmosphere where you can clearly participate in the Adobe Connect Room. Thank you everyone and I look forward to seeing you all on our upcoming call. :) Kind Regards, Yvette Guigneaux (MSSI) Multistakeholder Strategy & Strategic Initiatives Projects & Operations Assistant.

LA meeting: NDA and SMEs
by Jennifer Bryce Oct. 3, 2017

Oct. 3, 2017

Dear SSR2 Review Team members, In preparation for the face-to-face meeting scheduled in Los Angeles on 9-10 October 2017, we would like to highlight a few items for your information: Non-Disclosure Agreement There have been concerns raised in recent conversations regarding the need for SSR2 RT members to execute a non-disclosure agreement (or NDA) in order to access certain information or documents that are not publicly available but are likely to be pertinent to the RT’s work. When the reviews were incorporated into the Bylaws, the need for NDAs to facilitated openness and transparency amongst the review team was specifically identified at Section 4.6 (a)(vi)(A): (vi) Confidential Disclosure to Review Teams (A) To facilitate transparency and openness regarding ICANN's deliberations and operations, the review teams, or a subset thereof, shall have access to ICANN internal information and documents pursuant to the Confidential Disclosure Framework set forth in the Operating Standards (the "Confidential Disclosure Framework"). The Confidential Disclosure Framework must be aligned with the following guidelines: (1) ICANN must provide a justification for any refusal to reveal requested information. ICANN's refusal can be appealed to the Ombudsman and/or the ICANN Board for a ruling on the disclosure request. (2) ICANN may designate certain documents and information as "for review team members only" or for a subset of the review team members based on conflict of interest. ICANN's designation of documents may also be appealed to the Ombudsman and/or the ICANN Board. (3) ICANN may require review team members to sign a non-disclosure agreement before accessing documents. ICANN organization, in beginning its preparations for conversations with the sub-team, noted that there might be certain information discussed for which an NDA would be appropriate. If the sub-team wishes for all conversations at its October 9-10 meeting in L.A. to be on information that is publicly available, that can be arranged. If the subgroup wishes to have the ability to discuss more sensitive information with the ICANN organization reps while onsite, then if topics of conversation come up that are deemed to be confidential, those who have not yet signed the NDA will be requested to step out of the room for that portion of the conversation. We will accommodate either path the sub-team wishes to take for the onsite meeting. Separately, there is the possibility that the sub-team will request documentation for which an NDA would be required. ICANN is committed to following the Confidential Disclosure Framework in identifying the minimum amount of information as “Confidential” as possible. If the sub-team prefers, the decision to sign an NDA can be deferred until such time said documentation is ready to be distributed upon signature. Subject Matter Experts Below, please find the list of subject matter experts who will attend the upcoming meeting in Los Angeles: Steve Conte -- Director, Office of the CTO Programs James Caulfield -- VP, Enterprise Risk Management Christine Willett -- VP, GDD Operations Francisco Arias – Sr. Director, GDD Technical Services Russ Weinstein – Director, Registry Services Darren Kara – DNS Engineering Strategy Manager Gary Petzer -- VP, Strategic IT Program Management Samuel Suh -- VP, Back Office Solutions Maguy Serad -- VP, Contractual Compliance Services Thank you for your time, and please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions you might have. -- Jennifer Bryce Senior Reviews Coordinator Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: jennifer.bryce(a)icann.org Skype: jennifer.bryce.icann www.icann.org

by Don Blumenthal Sept. 28, 2017

Sept. 28, 2017

https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-09-27-en The postponement is important itself, but I’m noting it as a marker of ICANN SSR performance. It identified the potential problem in advance and had a plan to address it. It also provides possible points of inquiry; *e.g.*, specifics of the response plan. Don

NDA Form
by Alice Jansen Sept. 26, 2017

Sept. 26, 2017

Dear SSR2, As you requested during the planning call for ICANN SSR Sub-group LA meeting, below is the clarification in connection with the NDA. The NDA form, dated 28 August 2017, is the final form from ICANN organization’s perspective. ICANN legal worked with Kerry-Ann Barrett and James Gannon, the Review Team members authorized to work out the modifications to the NDA form, and incorporated feedback from Kerry-Ann and James. Unless the Review Team has additional concerns or suggested edits, the finalized version of 28 August 2017 NDA form should be used by the Review Team members. The form is attached here for convenience. If Review Team members do not execute an NDA prior to coming to LA for the ICANN SSR Sub-team meeting on 9-10 October, these individuals will be asked to leave the meeting during discussions that have confidential components. Additionally, individuals that have not executed an NDA will not have access to documents deemed to be confidential. Thank you, Best regards Alice
