[NCUC-DISCUSS] For Information and Review -- Latest Community Work Effort Inventory ­ Post-Marrakech

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi everyone,

before and during our meeting marrakech with ICANN board, there was
question about the workload within ICANN and the prioritization of those
efforts. I indicated in that time that community leaders raised the issue
and tried to work on how to make workload more visible, better tracked  to
be able to prioritize it. you will find below some updates from ICANN staff
with that regard, with the reaction of snapshots of all efforts from
supporting organizations and advisory committee, asking for feedback. for
those interested, please check the link below and share your comments.

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Rafik

I am pleased to share with you the link to the latest community “*SOAC Work
Effort Inventory Report – ICANN55 Snapshot*”.  The latest post-Marrakech
snapshot, reporting ongoing community work efforts from all of your
communities, can be found here on the ICANN Community wiki -
https://community.icann.org/display/soacemgmt/SOAC+Work+Effort+Inventory+Report%3A+ICANN55+Snapshot
.



This latest report lists existing community work efforts collected from
your individual staff liaisons. It also reflects form and substance
improvement suggestions (e.g., types of information being collected and
displayed) from a number of you after reviewing the post-Dublin Work Effort
snapshot. In particular, we have improved the linking capability between
the report and each of the individual work effort templates that populate
the inventory. We are still experimenting with how we might accurately
collect and track commitments of staff and community time devoted to the
various work efforts.



Many of you will recall that this inventory effort is intended to make
possible more informed discussions about the work of your individual
communities and how those efforts might be synched and/or prioritized on an
organization-wide level.  For those who are new to this effort, there is a
link to background information on the wiki that accompanies the snapshot.



This document continues to be a work-in-progress and your further feedback
on the form, style, breadth and substance of the information is most
welcome. I believe specific discussions about the value of the data
collected and how it can best be applied (for information and/or
prioritization efforts) need to take place. I have asked David if we can
pull the community leader prioritization sub-group back together in the
next several weeks to collectively discuss the value of the information
currently being reported and to determine if there is still a path to using
the snapshot information for prioritization conversations.



Although this topic is on the preliminary agenda for your call this Tuesday
with senior ICANN staff, due to other more urgent items, it is unlikely
that we’ll have too much (if any) time to discuss this effort in real time.
I invite you to share your thoughts on the report with me and David
directly via email or in the public comments section of the wiki page at
the link above.



One of the reasons for only sharing the link information with you this
time, rather than the document itself, is get your feedback from a typical
community user perspective – as someone who is going directly to the
information via the wiki. We also hope the wiki may also give us a better
opportunity for shared dialogue on this effort via the wiki comments
space. To expand the opportunity for input, please feel free to share the
link with interested members of your own communities. I’ll be tracking (in
the aggregate) page views of the wiki space to gauge when and how often
people access the report information and will share those stats with the
subgroup.



Looking forward to hearing feedback from you all on this effort!



Best regards,



Rob Hoggarth
