Sound quality is very poor and is now lost.

jitter on audio

We can now

now it is better

Eleeza you do NOT have to apologise, it is us who have invaded your children’s space because of this situation.

I for one, really appreciate your efforts and flexibility to accommodate this work from your space.

Indeed Kaveh .. well said ..

+1 to Kaveh :-)

Right!

agree Kaveh

@Kaveh, @Akinori, @Lito and all - thank you for your kind words. I think all of us in org and the community appreciate everyone’s flexibility and understanding!

You can find the public comment proceedings page, as well as the full paper that is being summarized in this presentation, here (public comment closes on 2 August): https://www.icann.org/public-comments/multistakeholder-model-next-steps-2020-06-04-en

The Consensus Playbook originated in a request by the GNSO Council, under last year’s Additional Budget Request process. The complete Playbook was developed by an external vendor for the use of the whole community (as appropriate). It was circulated to all SOACs recently: https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/pdp-3-4-consensus-playbook-21apr20-en.pdf

There is ALAC session on UA

<Question> The report assumes that achieving Consensus can be accomplished through the Consensus Playbook and PDP 3.0. It sort of brushes aside the notion of providing incentives to compromise and not rewarding those that stick to their siloed position. What work can be done to provide those incentives?</End Question>

just noting the “Framework for Effective Recommendations” work that will feed into this work

<Question> Hi to all. Is there a simple list of bullets of specific proposals and/or initiatives to enhance MSM? A link, perhaps? Gracias

@Jeff’

I’m not aware that people do belong to multiple SOs or ACs…

There might be the odd one or two but it’s not endemic AFAIK

@Chris, yes. entities can be both ccTLDs and gTLDs (both with different interests)

Chris, I think it is more common between NCSG and ALAC.

@Jeff’s point is particularly relevant, as it comes from someone that as Co Chair of a PDP knows well how hard it is to break non-consensus.

Organisations are members of more than one SG or C in the GNSO, but can only vote in one.

+1 Chris. I can't see this as a major issue...

Multi-Membership may be applied by one Company which is then represented by different persons

Donna is correct

I don't see what external incentives (carrots) would help. There has to be an intrinsic reason why people see themselves better served by finding consensus than by continuing a standoff.

<question> What are the steps taken to enhance the multistakeholder participation/model on Universal Acceptance<question>

All good points re multiple membership…I stand corrected..

Here’s the link to the Public Comment: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/multistakeholder-model-next-steps-2020-06-04-en

ok Thannks

What Strategy ICANN planning to adopt to increase non English speaking people in ICANN activities?

thanks Eleeza.

all fine

yes

ICANN May include other languages apart from current seven UN languages?

thanks

what is the criteria to include any language in ICANN Activities

+1 Sheeva

shiva

(question) In the two years of discussions, 21 issues were distilled to 6 issues. We now have 3. How can we avoid not dropping off the last 3 which are just as important (question)

+1

<Question> We talk about increasing non-English languages, which is commendable. But these translation services have never been available in policy development processes, which is the heart of what ICANN is supposed to be facilitating. Are there any efforts to get translation services for the policy working groups as well?<End Question>

did the work plan take in account reviewing working group outputs ? such atrt3 outputs

@diana Marita had also asked a question but it was skipped

Yes sorry we are getting to that. my apologies

Jeff's question can be taken boradly beyond the WGs

@Philippe - Absolutely. We tend to provide translation services for plenaries, but not for actually working sessions whether that is the working groups, the councils, etc.

<Question> With the recent reorganization, where does improving the multi-stakeholder model fall within ICANN Org's responsibilities? <End Question>

+1 Marita's question

kk

@Jeff Agree. And it also depends how much involved we'd like the non English speakers to get involved. Monitoring the activities vs getting involved (I'm oversimplifying obvisouly but you get the point - no simple solution here but certainly a rpoblem to consider)

Thanks @Martin...

well noted @Matthew...

<Question> regarding ATRT3 I noted that when you developed the next steps document you were relying on draft recommendations, e.g. on reviews. But the final recommendations differ greatly from the draft recommendations. How will you take that into account?

<comment>+1 Marita. While we are not dropping the other 3 issues, they seem to have lost priority and that is really sorry to hear <comment>

Sorry, I was not implying that there was a lessening of priorities. Just wanted to know where it fell. Thanks for the response

^QUESTION^ The Consensus Playbook indicates that it's important to limit the number of participants in PDP Working Groups in order to enhance effectiveness and work more quickly and efficiently. How does the work plan for the MSM Model propose to address this issue when individuals have expressly been included as "stakeholders" in internet policy apart from the existing constituencies and recognized stakeholder groups? ^QUESTION

The Board has been an active participant in all of the ATRT3 deliberations and activities... far beyond being mearly an observer/liaison.

《QUESTION》ICANN is mandate to act in a accordance with its Bylaws principales, especially the diversity like using multilanguise. why icann did never try to respect this principal within groups activities 《and question》.there's no initiative

<Question> Given ICANN will not host another face-to-face meeting for at least 9 months, how will this effort be prioritised and progressed?

《question 》 why it can't be possible the adopt this principale in future WG activities《and question》.

(comment) I think the community needs to know that all 6 priorities will stay in focus and on the table. There is no evolution if that does not happen (comment)

<comment> @Anne has pointed out an inherent conflict in the policy process and achieving consensus. On the one hand we are striving to increase participation. On the other hand too much participation makes it difficult to achieve consensus on anything. This also ties hand in hand to the incentives to compromise. <End Comment>

Agree with Jeff. It is a complex conundrum to find a solution that will assist the consensus model of policy development.

To say the least @Donna

the language services here will be a great initiative for future integration

@Maarten, yes, it will be part of the Board and org discussion with the community during the 3rd plenary session at ICANN68

+1 @Jeff, but <comment> but we should not limit the role of individual participants/stakeholders. Maybe these could be the freest-thinking people in ICANN. And I think that is a good think. In fact, I think allowing the perspectives of individuals in global policy-making is perhaps ICANN’s MSM’s greatest innovation. In a covid and post covid world where states are reasserting themselves, keeping the role of individuals is more important than ever.

thing not think (excuse typo)

@Javier - Exaclty

Reminder again that public comments close on 2 August - this is an extended (60 day) proceeding that hopefully will allow many community members and groups to participate.

cool

individuals could create a group if charter permits

+1 @Javier

Perfect in Spanish!!!

well stated @Javier

Thank you!

thank you

Thanks everyone!

ALAC and At-Large has used these excellent Languages Services for years, they are excellent

Thanks everyone!

thank you all.

Thanks!!!

<Question> How does ICANN intend to ensure balanced regional and cultural representativeness within the multi-stakeholder system, knowing that many regions or countries are not or not very represented in different work groups ?

thanks everyone)
