Re: [Ws2-guidelines] Call for INPUT on Draft Guidelines Report - Due 23:59 Sunday, January 29
by Lori Schulman Jan. 31, 2017

Jan. 31, 2017

Hello, Hearing no further input from the group, and per the email below, this team has mandated that I submit the report for an initial read by the plenary on February 8, 2017. I am cancelling the call on Wednesday, February 1. I will keep the February 8th call so I can report back from the plenary meeting that will be held earlier in the day. I will remove the watermark from the document, date it tomorrow and include the words "for initial read". I will forward a copy to the secretariat with a copy to this group. Thank you everyone. Lori S. Schulman Senior Director, Internet Policy International Trademark Association (INTA) +1-202-704-0408, Skype: lsschulman [cid:image005.jpg@01D270D2.1801CD20] From: Lori Schulman Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2017 9:17 PM To: MSSI Secretariat <mssi-secretariat(a)icann.org>; ws2-guidelines(a)ICANN.org Subject: Call for INPUT on Draft Guidelines Report - Due 23:59 Sunday, January 29 Dear Subteam, Attached, please find the updated draft report for review and input. I have inserted all of the changes per today's call including providing a definition for "Indemnified Party" so as not to be confused with Decisional Participant. The definition appears in Section II rather than the Executive Summary as we discussed in call because it flows better. I have kept the Executive Summary as simple and straight forward as possible. We agreed that all substantive feedback is due by 23:59 on Sunday, January 29 in order for the document to be ready for an Initial Read by the Plenary on February 8, 2017. We also agreed that all of the work will be done on the list to avoid another call. If we get the work done as agreed, I will cancel next week's call. We also have the call on the 8th a few hours after the plenary. Shall we keep that call so I can report back or shall we wait until the following week's call for a report? I look forward to hearing from you.

A few comments and suggestions. I don't think that any of them are really controversial, but I have been wrong on that before!

Notes, recordings, transcript for WS2 Guidelines for Good Faith Subgroup_ Meeting #9 _ 25 January 2017
by MSSI Secretariat Jan. 26, 2017

Jan. 26, 2017

Hello all, The notes, recordings and transcripts for CCWG Accountability WS2 Guidelines for Good Faith, Meeting #9 - 25 January 2017 will be available here: https://community.icann.org/x/o4fRAw A copy of the notes may be found below. Thank you. Kindest Regards, Yvette Guigneaux Multi-Stakeholder & Strategic Initiative Assistant ICANN | Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers 12025 Waterfront Drive, Playa Vista, CA 90094 yvette.guigneaux(a)icann.org<mailto:yvette.guigneaux@icann.org> | www.icann.org[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.icann.org&d=DgMFAg&…> ________________________________ Notes (including relevant parts of chat): 1. Attendance Lori Schulman: (6 participants at start of meeting). 2. Changes to SOI (none) 3. Discussion of Current Version of Draft Report including conclusions from ICANN Legal Lori Schulman: ICANN Legal has responded and I have included this in the report and added two footnotes. I have answered SL questions on the list and believe these were covered in our earlier discussions. Lori Schulman: (going through document). Exec Summary. Alan Greenberg: Decisional Participants - participants should be capitalized the same everywhere. Additionally, we are not providing indemnity to Decisional Participants - its the representatives etc (people) and this should be amended everywhere. SO AC councils or equivalent .... or reps to the empowered community. Lori Schulman: Will include the definition of Decisional Participant in the Exec summary and then will refer to the definition elsewhere. Alan Greenberg: recommendation 2A - want to clear up who is doing the investigation. B Members of SO's - cannot work for the gNSO which has thousands of members - use wording from above re Councils - C does a secret ballot meet the requirements of transparent? need to clear up. Page 4 "working group" is a technical term in ICANN may be better to simply use Group. avri doria: 'entire members' doesn't even make sense as a stand along phrase. how do we define a partial member. probably enough to say the membership. Alan Greenberg: Could there be a problem with divisions of opinion within SOs and ACs as each SO/AC puts specific processes in place, and issues over whether or not they are according to the set of guidelines? Would normal consensus procedures be adequate to resolve such differences here or is there need for something beyond the individual SOs and ACs to be involved? Alan Greenberg: My thoughts are that since an SO/AC has to build a coalition to remove nomcom appointees, it would be up to the other SO/AC's to determine adequacy of any procedures. I believe that we may have touched on this in earlier discussions. Lori Schulman: Discussion of SL questions and responses by LS. Alan Greenberg: uncertain if SL is talking about within an SOAC or between SOACs. Internally its the SOAC's issue. Between it is the usual mechanisms to come to an agreement. there is no formal process for SO and Ac's to resolve issues between themselves - if they want something to happen they will need to find a way. We may have overlooked the need for a secretariat for the empowered community. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): not our job to describe the collaborative processes just refer to the requirements for it Avri Doria: may not need a secretariat - chairs of SOs and ACs should be encouraged to work together. Issue about "turthful" caution. Concerned how truthful gets adjudicated. Also have problem with SHOULD - when I hear should means it is not always required. Alan Greenberg: AD comments have merit. Truth is not absolute but if you make the assertion you need to believe it. What are the right legal words for this. avri doria: well if the purpose is indemnification, we need to be legalistic. of course i am not a lawyer. Lito Ibarra: Avri, the interpretation of the word "Should" is why I asked if ALL of the conditions below (1 to 6) need to be satisfied, if applicable. Lori Schulman: Valid criticism. Would not object to deleting it and re-drafting. avri doria: btw, no comment i make is a 'die in the ditch' comment. Lori Schulman: SHOULD is related to the fact that directors can be removed for ANY reason. given we have so many IF's in the specific points we could change SHOULD to MUST. Alan Greenberg: But if the person has never been seen in purple pants, and you have no evidence, it is NOT a valid reason avri doria: so it is for any true reason. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): written and verifiable Avri Doria: "detailed in writng" comment. Lito Ibarra: Although English is not my mother tongue, "must" is a good option Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): must works for me avri doria: for 2b recommend replacing entire members with membership Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): yup... believed to be...... avri doria: 2c recommend replacing transparent voting with transparent use of a voting method Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): then validation can also include All Lito Ibarra: Yes to "believed to be..." Cheryl Langdon-Orr: If you go to Beleived to Be covers "allegations" but does not have to be typed in our recommendations. this provides "wiggle room". "Purple pants" analogy. Lori Schulman: So this is not ready for submission for a first reading by the plenary as it needs to be edited per the comments today. If I make these changes could we approve it over the coming week so it could be sent to the plenary? Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): polishing from today's work required list review then call for consensus pre 1st works Julf Helsingius: Works for me too Cheryl Langdon-Orr: 72 hours for any substantive changes. Julf Helsingius: I agree! Lito Ibarra: 72 hours is ok avri doria: yeah, one of these, silence is consent 72 hours. they can comment during the mtg. Lori Schulman: I will make the changes today and put this up on the list. Any substantive changes have to be brought up on the list by 23:59 Sunday. If none this will be the version for a first reading by the plenary. Cheryl Langdon-Orr: Great group to work with and kudos to Lori for doing should an incredible group. Adjourned.

W2 Guidelines Draft Report v1.3
by Lori Schulman Jan. 25, 2017

Jan. 25, 2017

Dear All, Attached please find the updated draft with Cheryl's comments and the ICANN Legal response incorporated. Sam Lanfranco, one of the groups observer's has posed 2 questions to me that we may want to discuss on today's call. As an observer, Sam does not have posting rights but I thought it would be appropriate to report his questions to see if the subteam wishes to respond. The questions may non-issues but I wanted to get the team's sense of things. I think that both questions may non issues. My thoughts are below in red. * Could there be a problem with divisions of opinion within SOs and ACs as each SO/AC puts specific processes in place, and issues over whether or not they are according to the set of guidelines? Would normal consensus procedures be adequate to resolve such differences here or is there need for something beyond the individual SOs and ACs to be involved? My thoughts are that since an SO/AC has to build a coalition to remove nomcom appointees, it would be up to the other SO/AC's to determine adequacy of any procedures. I believe that we may have touched on this in earlier dicussions. * If there a dispute over whether or not guideline based processes, as developed, are followed within a particular SO/AC action, how would that be resolved? The SO/AC would resolve that internally if challenge is internal. If challenge is external, then if the SO/AC is relying on a coalition, it will have to support its actions. If potential coalition partners question the process, it will have to be reconciled with the SO/AC. Talk Soon. Lori

Notes, recordings, transcript for WS2 Guidelines for Good Faith Subgroup_ Meeting #8 _ 18 January 2017
by MSSI Secretariat Jan. 18, 2017

Jan. 18, 2017

Hello all, The notes, recordings and transcripts for CCWG Accountability WS2 Guidelines for Good Faith, Meeting #8 - 18 January 2017 will be available here: https://community.icann.org/x/oZnDAw A copy of the notes may be found below. Thank you. Kindest Regards, Yvette Guigneaux Multi-Stakeholder & Strategic Initiative Assistant ICANN | Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers 12025 Waterfront Drive, Playa Vista, CA 90094 yvette.guigneaux(a)icann.org<mailto:yvette.guigneaux@icann.org> | www.icann.org[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.icann.org&d=DgMFAg&…> ________________________________ Notes (including relevant parts of chat): 1. Attendance 2. Changes to SOI - none 3. Report from January 11 Plenary Meeting Lori Schulman: Confusion about our report being a first reading or not at the last meeting. Apologies for any confusion. 4. Discussion of Current Version of Draft Report Lori Schulman: INTA ICANN internal group looking at the report - if any suggestions I will decide if useful to take to the sub-group. (description of changes to the document). avri doria: what is the importance of the indemnification to these guideline. i do not understand. Lori Schulman: if an SO or AC is working to remove a director the director or the entire Board could sue the SO or AC for defamation and then if the SO or AC has acted in good faith they would be protected. avri doria: i understand the importance of indemnification. but not sure i under why it affects the guidelines Lori Schulman: If you follow the guidelines then it presumes good faith. This is about mitigating the risk to the community. avri doria: ok, got it, thanks Alan Greenberg: There will always judgement calls in this and if people want to be prudent they will be conservative in interpreting these guidelines. if we are ever going to use this there will be very little facts to verify - as such I am ok with a little vagueness on this. Lori Schulman: agree. Alan Greenberg: if removing an Nomcom director you will have to convince other SO or ACs and this will probably require a substantial file - which is not necessarily the case for an SO or AC nominated director. Lito Ibarra: Question: It seems to me that the core of the guidelines is in point 1, letter b (list of conditions that should apply). The question is all 6 conditions should apply, not just two or three, right? Lori Schulman: correct all are necessary. Alan Greenberg: Some of those are only if applicable, so they only apply in certain cases Lito Ibarra: That's right Lori Schulman: That is correct, if one does not apply then the SO or AC should state so and why. Julf Helsingius: I am pretty happy with it as it is Alan Greenberg: We should reread a final time and if there are no significant issues it should go to the plenary. Herb Waye: Bylaws limit Ombudsman concerns regarding the membership on Board - does out stuff affect this. Alan Greenberg: removing a director affects membership but the Ombudsman is not have part of this process. The Ombudsman can participate in informal discussions before removal discussions. Herb Waye: I know the Ombudsman cannot touch Nomcom members. Alan Greenberg: Correct no one can go to the Ombudsman about them not being nominated to the Board - I would extend this to Board removal in our process. Herb Waye: will discuss with ICANN legal next week. Lori Schulman: Does the ICANN Ombudsmanm have an enumerated set of issues it can deal with or is it more open. Herb Waye: it leans towards openness - just no internal admin matters (HR), Board Membership and Contractual Agreements with suppliers. Lori Schulman: if a complaint about a director does not involve talking about removal the Ombudsman can be involved - but the moment it is about removal the Ombudsman cannot participate. Action Items: will redraft with a place holder for the ICANN legal opinion and redistribute to the sub-group today. I will also follow up with ICANN legal to get their input so we can release it to the plenary for a first ready on 1 February to provide 7 days prior to the plenary meeting. Next meeting is Wednesday 25 January 1900 and we should have this slot reserved every week to Copenhagen. 5. AOB Lori Schulman: any AOB- None Adjourned. Action Items: * Lori Schulman: Edit report as discussed and include a place holder for ICANN Legal advice and redistribute to the sub-group for reading today. * Lori Schulman: Follow up with ICANN legal to get an opinion on report. Would like this ASAP as the group would like to publish the report for first reading by the plenary on 1 February (7 days prior to the 8 February plenary). * Staff: Please reserve all Wednesday 1900 to Copenhagen for sub-group meetings (done).

W2 Guidelines Draft Report v1.1 For Submission to Plenary
by Lori Schulman Jan. 10, 2017

Jan. 10, 2017

Dear Team, I noticed an error in last night's version of the report that I have since corrected. The correction is attached. Yvette, please replace the version on the wiki with this one. I note that Sam submitted comments and questions and I will include them in my report to the plenary. Thank you.
