[NCUC-EC] (Virtual) 2nd EC Meeting of 2015

Dear Bill and EC colleagues


apologies for the late reply, but with the Global CyberSpace Conference coming up, the time for policy advocacy is temporarily shrunk.


I have a few minor amendments to the minutes of our virtual 2nd meeting, and a question--my approval pending on these been satisfied.


1) Re: 3. Reimbursements Under the Revised Travel Policy. I would like to add the following sentence after "terms of the revised travel policy": ", and make the decisions public on the NCUC website (including the names of the funded individuals and the reason for traveling)". Transparency is key, as not every member reads our list.


2) Re: 5. Misc​. There appears to be something missing in bullet point 4.


And, finally, the question: I am a tad confused by what stated in 4.  Management of ICANN Travel Slots. While the text reflects closely my preferences, it does NOT reflect the way we selected people to fund for Buenos Aires. Decisions are taken, but we should reflect this discrepancy in the minutes from the meeting. A sentence would do.


My approval is pending on these adjustments being made--if you agree, of course!

Best, Stefania

Hello

As discussed previously, let’s do an asynchronous virtual EC meeting just to create a formal record of recent decisions. Minutes will be posted when we’re done.  Please indicate you approval, or suggest modifications you think should be made prior. Let’s please do this by tomorrow, Sunday latest.



Executive Committee meeting, 2/2015

Location: Executive Committee Mailing List

Time: 10-12 April 2015

Participants:

Bill Drake (NCUC Chair)
Roy Balleste (EC North America representative)
João Carlos Caribé (EC South American representative)
Grace Githaiga (EC African representative)
Peter Green/ Zuan Zhang 张 钻(EC Asian representative)
Stefania Milan (EC European representative)

Agenda:

1. Budget

The EC noted with great appreciation the Public Interest Registry’s currently in process contribution of $15,000.00, and asked the Treasurer to provide it with an updated statement of our account once this has been posted.

2. Revised Travel Policy

The EC reaffirmed its decision taken on the list 9-10 April to approve and post the revised Travel Policy.  The call for proposals for the Buenos Aires meeting shall be posted to the members list in the next few days.

3. Reimbursements Under the Revised Travel Policy

The EC reaffirmed its decisions taken on the list in March to reimburse the applicable itemized expenses of Edward Morris for his travel to the Istanbul meeting of the CCWG on accountability; and of Stephanie Perrin for her travel to the Seoul meeting of data commissions, where ICANN policies were discussed.  These reimbursements shall be processed in accordance with the terms of the revised travel policy.

4.  Management of ICANN Travel Slots

The EC reaffirmed its decisions taken on the list in March to formally follow the practice that had evolved ad hoc in recent years with respect the management of the three travel slots ICANN provides to the constituency per ICANN meeting.  The first slot shall go to the Chair, who must run the Constituency Day meeting and any outreach or other constituency meetings, and represent NCUC in meetings with the SOACSGC chairs, the Board, etc.  For the other two slots, the first priority shall remain supporting members who are actively engaged in important work that will take place at a given meeting, be it intra-constituency managerial work or external policy work.  If slots remain after this organizational needs assessment, the support will rotated among elected (and as advisable, appointed) representatives so everyone gets a chance to participate and deepen their engagement.

5. Misc.

The EC noted with satisfaction a number of recent constituency-level activities, including

  *   The launching of the member-driven project to translate the NCUC outreach Brochure into multiple languages.
  *   The launching of the Members Blog space on the website.
  *   The the appointment of Peter Green/ Zuan Zhang 张 钻 to serve as a Pilot Program Coordinator for ICANN's CROPP.
  *   program, and the open call for CROPP proposals from constituency members.
  *   The integration of NCUC website results into searches begun on the ICANN website.
  *   The constituency’s response letter to the initial draft of the GNSO Review study.
  *   The submission of a FY15 ICANN budget request to attend the annual IGF meeting, and the submission to the IGF of two NCUC and one NCSG workshop proposals (in addition to multiple individual submissions by members).
  *   The effective ICANN pilot program providing part-time staff support to the NCUC, and the helpful assistance of Maryam Bakoshi in this context.

Adjournment
