How about demanding a comprehensive account of conflict of interest steps taken/followed in the Fadi situation by Fadi, the Board members, and other senior officers? We actually want a fully vetted and prepped response on that.

Hello



I was also wondering, at Dublin we had raised our concerns about how representative the process is, and the Board had reaffirmed a commitment to go out on a limb to ensure that the participation diversity be increased. I recall both Fadi and Asha Hemrajani putting this on record.



Could we raise the question of what they've done to this effect, and if the impact, this time around, has been more meaningful?



Also, +1 to what Ed said, about not wanting ICANN Legal to come up with a nice legalese draft response.

Hi Kathy,



If I can respond partly to that. the issue of increasing workload was raised  more than 1 year ago by SO/AC leadership with Fadi and VPs like David during their meetings , with regard of lack of visibility and coordination of all ongoing processes with some initiated by staff. Some effort (in addition to other initiatives on other issues) started to compile the processes from SO/AC and trying to visualize them giving an insight about workload.



There was also some presentation in a session in singapore meeting last year to take community feedback.  David is managing those efforts . So I would expect he will give some updates about that. He also regularly attends our joint session with board.

I will try to find the material and share them if it helps.



Best,



Rafik

I would like to talk with them about work flow. ICANN has hired 100 policy staffers in the last year and has an enormous new capability for work flow, but we do not. There is no way to keep up with what is "in the queue" and "coming down the pike."



I would expressly invite David Olive (as lead of ICANN's Policy Development Support Team) to be part of this discussion as well. How do we make the work load reasonable if we want the volunteer, multistakeholder model to continue? Is it based on ICANN capacity or stakeholder capacity?



Best,

Kathy

Dear all,



One regular event at ICANN meetings is that we get to meet the Board,

talk with them about and ask them whatever we want.



The Board would, however, like to know in advance what we're going

to ask them, so they could better prepare for it.



If you have suggestions for topics for our meeting with the Board in

Marrakech, please let me know as soon as possible (feel free to post

to the list or me directly, as you prefer).



Thank you,
