Hi All

"yet another" meeting LOL

Hello all

you must have had your fair share of NCUC meetings Milton ;)

sounds like Bruna has had more than her share ;-)

haha

Bruna: I'll be glad to report whatever we'll be up to in ccpdp4 by then

Support the policy updates and the three topics

yes to policy udpates

Maybe we should add some details on the “strategy review” work…to give members some background/update on the “merger talks”

I would like to add the constituency merger/bylaw modification to the agenda

Ah, so "strategy review" is same thing?

which strategy?

the merger talks Benji

Okay @Mili

Bad echo

we can't hear you Mili there is background noise

Mili, we can’t hear you

Ohh sorry

My question is about the joint outreach sesssion

do we have it this time?

FYI I have another meeting at 11:30 so will leave soon

Cuz if we do, then we can keep the NCUC for newcomers much shorter

I think the human rights session was kind of a consolation prize, they got their proposals for abuse sessions accepted, we did not get our proposal for a human right HIT accepted.

None at this time for the Fellows

Makes sense

Milton has anyone reached out to you to appear on the Abuse panel? I gave zuck your name as a potential person….

Ha ha. No.

Unsurprising.

Suggestions welcome

Tatiana would be good

Can you please talk her into it? I will propose her name if she agrees

We need someone on the IRT to replace Amr in my opinion. I am trying to talk Stefan into it

I don’t know whether Rafik ever completed his promised job description for policy committee chair, but I have not finished my promised job description for the NCSG Chair. I will at least get you my draft Bruna, might help move that along.

;) it will come in due time steph ...

Ben: noted!

bye all

bye milton!

yes

bye Milton

bye Milton thx for joining

I agree…with Ben and Franco.

We can maybe start with creating a living doc that records ongoing work and each year ECs can add to it. This way the history will be there and be a good reference point for new ECs

We have on the website existing documents listing project work, that is out of date. We could perhaps find volunteers to keep that work out of date?

Up to date I mean…

2. I also feel we should have periodic EC meetings a month before and after every ICANN meeting (be it physical or virtual). These can be added to the calendar as soon as new EC is in place

Apologies for being unable to use my mic

One of our biggest problems in my view is that the leaders are stuck with so much work that when their terms are up they just run….

Leaving no-one to brief or help their successors

I know =/

hahah

Its a good idea, Ben. We could do a quarterly membership meeting (virtual).

if members attended at least those zooms that are already happening. take ncsg policy meeting for example, not high attendace

fair point Olga

yes that, and I understand there may be a need for other types of meetings, but also having a meeting just for the sake of one, is not very productive. So it would be nice to have a quarterly meeting, to the extent we have something interesting for the membership

We can barely come up with agendas for the public meetings….so I don’t think more meetings will solve a problem

Transition document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LZLzNcg9c4tqQ5SmsZ_6VBvCUrq4lVpa-Gk7z0FmqWw/edit?usp=sharing

Would a basic reading list help?

doesn't it already exist somewhere? but yes there should be one

We can add this reading list to the website

It will also be a good resource to add to newcomers kit

Once I leave the Chair, I could do a blog with a basic intro list of required reading for each PDP. Sometimes the wiki space has so much stuff on it, people take one look and run away.

At the Montreal meeting, we spoke about dividing the EC in teams (membership issues, outreach, event etc). Should we strengthen that?

A job that a non expert could do is do a daily blog post on what is going on in the GNSO that day…for instance today we had Council. Tuesday we had our policy committee.

We attempted at doing that, but this plan was never really taken forward. But I like this idea, Mili.

Mike and Ben were fundamental for the Policy writing course

yes sure

sure the transition meeting + kickoff for new term. This can be agenda setting. Set the goals and persons in charge

We record it in a doc…so at all times everyone knows who is doing what

Transition would be a great idea. I am sticking around to help, and I would like to reinforce the message that for the past two years, we have had a group of leaders at NCSG who all got along. We cooperated and worked together well even if we did not always agree. Given our history of much bickering among constituencies, we need to cling fast to that sprit of cooperation

When there are fights going on, it takes all the time of the leaders to deal with those fights.

Very true…it can be draining

Yes and no-one is every happy so it really is a waste of our precious time

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LZLzNcg9c4tqQ5SmsZ_6VBvCUrq4lVpa-Gk7z0FmqWw/edit?usp=sharing

this is shaping to be rich!

Sure Bruna, we can track that aside from the reminders I send.

I have to run to another call! sorry :X let me know about action points and ill listen to the recording for the rest :) bye all and thx

Bye Raph

What are we doing about the ABRs we need to start work? I am including the NCSG one because of course you are inheriting it....
