[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCPH Intersessional meeting in DC 12-13 January 2015

Fri Nov 14 14:35:44 CET 2014

Hi Bill,
I would be happy to attend and need no travel funds (since I live in 
DC). I think these meetings can be very strategic, and if organized 
well, very useful. I think it would be a good idea to mix our marvelous 
new participants with those of us who have lived in the trenches over 
many years.
Best,
Kathy (Kleiman):

> I have mentioned several times at our Constituency Day meetings and on 
> the list that there is a intersessional meeting of the NonContracted 
> Parties House (NCPH) scheduled for Washington DC Monday-Tuesday 
> January 12-13. If resources can be found, there could also be a sort 
> of outreach session in the morning of the 14th geared toward DC civil 
> society groups, think tanks, etc.  The latter is very much TBD.

> We did one of these two years ago in LA, and the documents are here

>  The records of meeting we held just two days ago, which of course has 
> the latest news, are attached to this message.

> You don't need to have a Confluence wiki log-in to access these docs, 
> but I think you do need one if you want to comment/edit etc.  I 
> believe that anyone who wants to be active in GNSO-related work can

> maryam.bakoshi at icann.org <mailto:maryam.bakoshi at icann.org>, 
> Glen at icann.org <mailto:Glen at icann.org> or nathalie.peregrine at icann.org 
> <mailto:nathalie.peregrine at icann.org>
>
> Anyway, the purpose of this meeting will be to take stock of common 
> concerns among members of the non-contracted parties, i.e.
>
> /Commercial Stakeholder Group/
> Business Constituency
> Intellectual Property Constituency
> Internet Service Providers Constituency
>
> /NonCommercial Stakeholder Group/
> NonCommercial Users Constituency
> Not for Profit Operational Concerns Constituency
>
> The trilateral negotiation between commercial, noncommercial, and 
> staff can be a bit thick at times, but the basic idea is that this is 
> an occasion to do things like a) try to improve dialogue and 
> collaboration between the SGs on procedural responsibilities we share, 
> like selecting a board member, a Vice Chair for the GNSO council, etc 
> (these have been very painful in the past); b) provide an opportunity 
> for brainstorming among the new representatives of the stakeholder 
> groups and constituencies; and c) a chance to intensively interact 
> with Fadi and staff on matters of common concern.
>
> ICANN provides us with travel support as follows:
>
> 21 travel slots split between NCSG, NCUC and NPOC:
> - NCSG 9  (normally, the 6 Councilors + the chair and two people from 
> the NCSG EC, or perhaps the PC)
> - NCUC 6  (normally, the chair and the five regional reps on the Exec. 
> Committee)
> - NPOC 6  (normally, the chair and whomever from their EC they select, 
> I don't know how it works)
>
> Rafik has written to the NCSG PC to see who will be available to 
> attend.  Now I am writing to NCUC, and not just the EC, since we don't 
> know for sure who will be on the 2015 EC until the election process is 
> further along.  Plus we may wish to modify things, below.
>
> For NCUC, it is a bit difficult to say now who we would be sending 
> because the election process is just getting underway and further 
> nominations are (hopefully!) pending.  So far we have one nomination 
> for 5 of the 6 slots (still nobody from LAC, and just until Sunday to 
> get one, plus any competitors for the other seats).  By next Monday 
> 17th nominations are closed and we know who the candidates are.  Those 
> who do not face any competition for the respective seat can be assumed 
> to be on the 2015 EC unless a majority of members abstain, which would 
> be odd.
>
> In which case I'd be able to forward their names to Constituency 
> Travel, which is very desperate for us to submit names so they can 
> start working on travel arraignments, especially since unlike the 
> business groups a number of our people will be from countries that may 
> require visas.
>
> What I need to know ASAP (Please reply off list) is:
>
> 1) Whether each of the candidates for the new EC would be interested 
> in attending if elected.  Travel would be arrival in DC on Sunday 11 
> January with departure either 13 Tuesday or 14 Wednesday, depending on 
> whether we do an outreach thing Wednesday and there is funding, 
> possible, flight itineraries, etc., all TBD
>
> 2)  Whether there are other member would be interested in attending if 
> a slot opens up (i.e. an EC member is unable to attend).  Probably it 
> would be preferable if a replacement person were from the same region 
> as the non-participating EC member, but this is not mandatory.
>
> To get a sense of whether this meeting might be of interest and and 
> something to which you can contribute, one might want to have a look 
> at the documents at the web pages linked above.
>
> Any questions, let me know.
