Cher NCUC,
Comme vous le savez peut-être, la direction du NCSG a décidé de lancer
notre processus d'examen stratégique du SG, faisant suite aux discussions
sur la fusion qui figuraient sur nos listes il y a quelque temps. Comme
indiqué sur la liste NCSG, nous formerons un groupe de travail pour mener
une évaluation sur NCSG / NCUC / NPOC, nos ressources et nos difficultés,
puis proposerons des règlements / procédures opérationnelles / amendements
à la charte.
L'appel de volontaires pour ce groupe de travail est maintenant ouvert
jusqu'à la semaine prochaine - le 5 octobre - et veuillez soumettre votre
déclaration d'intérêt au cas où vous seriez disposé à aider dans ce
processus.
Meilleures salutations, Bruna Santos NCUC Chair

hardships and then come up with a bylaws/Operating Procedures/Charter

Subject: NCSG Strategic Review call for applications
To: <NCSG-DISCUSS at listserv.syr.edu>


Dear NCSG members,

Following the discussions on the list and two calls (on August 5th and
August 14th) on the matter of what was first termed the “constituency
merger,” the three executive committees (NCSG, NCUC, and NPOC, hereafter
collectively “the Leadership”) have decided to issue a call for volunteers
for a Strategic Review Working Group.



SCOPE

The tasks of the Working Group will be the following:

1.       Conduct a thorough fact-finding operation aimed at identifying the
problems related to, among other things, low engagement of the membership
in policy activities, effective use of stakeholder group financial and
“benefit” resources (such as travel slots), the number of administrative
positions, effective representation of NCSG and its constituencies in other
ICANN bodies. The Working Group will be free to collect its own data, in
the form of interviews or polls of the membership, for example, and need
not limit itself to what has been discussed so far both on the mailing list
and during calls. In that sense, the problems listed here are examples
drawn from the discussions, but the aim of the Working Group should be that
of a thorough survey.

2.       Identify, to the best of its abilities, the causes for such
problems.

3.       Provide a clear and detailed pathway to solutions that will remedy
those problems by acting upon the causes. If necessary, depending on the
magnitude of the changes implied, solution proposals shall be accompanied
by a transition plan with a detailed timeline.



COMPOSITION

The Strategic Review Working Group will be composed of NCSG members in good
standing. The Leadership will strive to have an equal number of NPOC and
NCUC members, with representation from unaffiliated NCSG members as well,
mindful of gender balance. To the extent possible, the Leadership will try
to ensure geographic diversity as well. The Leadership aims for between six
and ten members in total.

The qualifications required are (a) demonstrated commitment to the work of
NCSG or its constituencies, in the form of policy, administrative, or
outreach work and (b) good knowledge of NCSG charter and NCUC Bylaws and
operating procedures or NPOC charter. Selection of candidates will be
undertaken by the Stakeholder and Constituencies Leadership.

We invite those of you who have already expressed their interest in joining
this effort to submit your application.

Applications should be submitted by 23:59 UTC, seven business days after
this call is published on the NCSG list (not counting the day of the
publication,) to chair at ncsg.is.



PROCEDURES AND DELIVERABLES

The Working Group will be responsible to elect its own Chair.

All three elements above will be formulated in the form of a final report
that will be presented to the whole membership. Its factual findings will
be subject to full consensus, while the rest of the report, especially the
solutions, may consist of options or alternatives.

Indeed, given that the implementation of the report is up to the Leadership
– and potentially to the membership - the final report is not subject to
the prior approval of the Leadership, nor is it subject to a vote.

The Working Group is expected to provide regular updates to the membership
as to the fulfillment of its tasks.

All communications of the Working Group will take place on a dedicated and
publicly archived mailing list, and its calls will be recorded and the
recordings made available to the membership.



TIMELINE

The Leadership will finalize its selection five business days following the
close of the call. Once the composition of the Working Group will have been
announced, the Leadership will supervise the Chair selection process, which
should take place within five business days.

The Working Group is then expected to hold (biweekly) calls and complete
its fact finding by 31 December 2020. The final report should be delivered
no later than 31 January 2021.

Stephanie Perrin

NCSG Chair
