Oct. 28, 2017

Hi, During today's WS2 plenary meeting, the report passed its first reading with a few comments. The changes can be found in: <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vH5su7SDGE0i_rTstbYJ7tIaOFuRnV4dfqpwMTP…> 2 pdf files are attached: one marked up and one clean. _Change made_ - page 3 Roles and Responsibilities point 7. Added two explicit instances of ",as appropriate" - page 5 Recommendation 2 It was commented that point ii, was not a recommendation but an explanation. It was recommended that the explanation be removed. Instead, the recommendation has been be subordinate to one of the recommendation and no longer stands alone as a recommendation. - page 6 Recommendation 3 change 1 Sentence reworked to replace informal with ad-hoc. Not sure this is as correct as informal. But not sure that it makes a difference. - page 6 Recommendation 3 change 2 We were asked to add example conditions of when discussions could be confidential instead of transparent. Since the Transparency subgroup developed answers for the SOAC accountability subgroup to the same issue, the SOAC text was copied to this report. A footnote was added to say that the various example listings should remain consistent once the entire WS2 book was built. - page 6 Recommendation 4a. The consensus was that it should remain service level guideline instead of service level agreements. _Consensus Call for 2nd plenary reading submission _ Until 30 September 2359 UTC __ If anyone has any objections or strong recommendations for ways to change the edits being made in response__to the 1st reading comments please contribute specific changes on the list. If we change the file in a substantive way during this last call based on comments, I will restart the last call for another 48 hours after the change is published. Minor fixes will just be made without restarting the clock. Note: at this point substantive changes to the report or its content are discouraged as they would require another 1st plenary reading and would probably mean that we would not finish in time. __ thanks avri

Canceled: Staff Accountability Subgroup Meeting | 13:00 UTC | 28 September 2017

Hi, For those who may not have been on today's WS2 Plenary Meeting, the draft report passed its first reading. Thanks to all for coming to the consensus that made that possible. There were some minor changes requested. I am working on those today and will send out an updated copy of the report. Instead of getting the same group of stalwarts to discuss it on a meeting tomorrow and then doing a last-call on the list on it, and after consultation with Bernie and few of those stalwarts, I have decided to cancel the meeting. Hope to send out the updated report before the end of my day If we fail to get consensus on the list, I will schedule a meeting for next week or the week after. thanks avri

Consensus Call for sending Rev 1.5 to the full meeting for a first reading.
by avri doria Sept. 14, 2017

Sept. 14, 2017

Hi, Re: Update after the Staff Accountability Mtg 27 of 13 September 2017 and consensus call for sending Rev 1.5 to the full meeting for a first reading. During the meeting we worked through the comments and changes which had been pending from Mtg 26. In all but one case, we reached consensus on the document. The one instance of open discussion concerns recommendation 4a ** 1. * ICANN Organization should work with the community to: * * 1. Develop and publish service level guidelines (similar to the Service Level Agreement for the IANA Numbering Services) that clearly define all services provided by ICANN to contracted parties and the service level target for each service. * The original recommendations had been for a service level agreements (SLA). As there had been strong reaction on SLAs because of their legal nature and the difficulty involved in negotiating such SLAs, the recommendation was changed to guidelines. In response, there was consensus, though not unanimity, for recommending guidelines instead of agreements. During the consensus call, there was one request that we wait until there had been time for a group member to check with the groups in the Contracted Parties House of the GNSO, on whose behalf the original recommendation had been made. It was argued that guidelines were an unreliable mechanism and that it would be better to develop SLAs. Because of the tight schedule and the intermittent nature of sub-team member attendance, it was recommended by others that we send the sub-team consensus document on to the full meeting leaving the issue of 4a open for discussion in the full meeting. As the number of participants in the meeting was small, the compromise accepted by the group was to check the consensus with the members of the group who had not been in attendance (most of you). For that reason I am doing this online consensus call. The deadline for sending documents for consideration to the next full meeting (27 Sept) is 20 September (Bernie, please correct me if I have this wrong). This consensus call is scheduled to end 19 September at 1200 UTC. Note, there is only one other full meeting between now and the Abu Dhabi meeting on 18 Oct. *Consensus Question: is there consensus in the sub-team for sending the Rev 1.5 of the document* *<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vH5su7SDGE0i_rTstbYJ7tIaOFuRnV4dfqpwMTP…> (pdf attached)* *to the full meeting, with the request that they also determine whether we submit 4a with a recommendation for service level guidelines or Service Level Agreements.* Note: the alternative, if this consensus call fails, is that the agenda of the next Staff Accountability meeting on 28 September 13UTC to focus on this subject and that we submit in time for the last full meeting for Abu Dhabi. This would be very last minute and would give the sub-team limited time for resolving any pending issues that may emerge in the first reading before the Abu Dhabi meeting. If the consensus call succeeds, we will dedicate the September 28 meeting to responding to issues from the reading in the full meeting. Additionally, during the meeting several comments were made about the format of the document. I have done some cleanup and would appreciate that those of who do read the report let me know of any format &c. problems you might see, so that I can fix them. thank you avri
