[NCUC-EC] Fwd: [GNSO-SG-C-Leadership] REMINDER: Feedback on proposal to form Community Coordination Group to work on select WS2 recommendations implementation

[Ken Herman]

Raphael, given that I probably don’t fully understand the issue, I agree with your assessment, except that I would actively oppose this. Although such a proposed mechanism might facilitate communication in some way, probably there are already established channels for communication and coordination. Groups of any kind require terms of reference and oversight and come with opportunities for conflict. In any event, it is not clear to me why ICANN org is not already doing what is suggested for this group. Therefore, I would oppose creating any new mechanisms unless there is a more clearly defined problem and alternative solutions are presented.

Dear all

 

Your views on this, please

 

Personally I would not oppose it but I don't really think that such a mailing list would either be used or useful. Reaching out for coordination is already possible for those who want to do it; if it doesn't happen it is not by lack of proper vehicle, but for a plethora of other reasons...

 

Anyhow, as I said, let me know. Thanks!

Dear GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency leaders,

 

I’m writing to ask if you can let Philippe know (if you haven’t already) whether your group supports the proposal to form a Community Coordination Group, to serve as the central contact point for collaboration, prioritization and information sharing on those few Work Stream 2 (WS2) recommendations directed at the community and that require cross-SOAC coordination. Specifically, those recommendations are Recommendations 1.1 and 1.7 (related to diversity), Recommendation 2.3 (on possibly establishing a uniform framework for certain Empowered Community actions), and – for information sharing purposes – Recommendation 3 (on each SO and AC incorporating the Framework for Interpretation on Human Rights into its respective policy development and advice activities). 

 

As you may recall, ICANN org first raised the idea of forming such a group during a SOAC Chairs Roundtable in late May, for each community to consider. This coming Monday, 4 October, the topic will be on the agenda for another SOAC Chairs Roundtable, where we hope to have confirmation one way or the other from all the community groups as to the utility of and support for this proposal.

 

If it helps, the group is not envisioned to be a decision-making body as such, since decisions will need to be taken by the individual community groups affected by a particular WS2 recommendation. We expect that the role of the Community Coordination Group will primarily be to share views across the community and act as the main contact point and communication vehicle for all the participating groups. Obviously, we also expect that all discussions taking place within the Community Coordination Group will be recorded and made publicly available.   

 

I hope this note is useful and that you will be able to convey your group’s view of the proposal to Philippe by Monday; especially if your group does NOT support the idea. Philippe is on this mailing list so feel free to reply to this note to everyone. Thank you!

 

Best regards,

Mary
