In keeping with Avri's invitation to have a discussion on list about the
election, I wanted to say a few things. First, a huge thank you to
Robin for nominating me, and for everyone else who has shown their
support. I am really honoured, especially as a relative newcomer to
ICANN, to have your support.
Secondly, I agree with all those who have pointed out we have lots of
great candidates. This is a testimony to current leadership, who are
encouraging folks to run, and keeping us all engaged and interested.
Thanks for that!
Thirdly, and if this sounds like campaigning, I dont mean it to. For
those who only know me from my role in the Experts Working Group on
WHOIS, you may think I am not consultative. This is far from the case,
I am more inclined to ask everyone questions, their opinion, the history
etc till they want me to go away. The EWG was under a kind of Chatham
House rules that forbade us discussing the document and our private
deliberations. This made it very difficult for me, the newbie, to
figure out what the proposals on the table would mean in practice. I
may have been the only chump on the group who stuck to the rules, but I
am extremely grateful to Kathy Kleiman and Tamir Israel for fielding my
vague hypothetical questions when I was trying to figure out impacts
(ever asked a lawyer for an opinion on something without showing them
the text? :-)). At any rate, I have been ruminating quite a lot about
what I consider to have been a flawed process, that went on for a year
and a half almost. Time for behaviours to change and adapt to this way
of doing business. While I agree with the need for getting experts to
give ICANN advice, it has to be transparent, and those experts need to
be clearly accountable to the multi-stakeholder community, not the
Board, nor unduly influenced by staff. The contrast between the way we
worked on the EWG, and the way the two groups I sit on now work (Privacy
Proxy Accreditation working group, and the Policy and Implementation
Working Group) is very striking. It may not always move as fast, but
that's democracy for you.
ANyway, I just wanted to get this off my chest. Please don't consider
it a trashing of the work of the group, we did a lot of hard work and
produced some good recommendations. The experts we had on the group
were all very smart and knew their fields. I do think the process was
flawed however, and I cannot actually think of a way that I could
personally have improved it....but ideas are welcome if you have any.
Kind regards,
Stephanie Perrin
PS more webinars are scheduled in September on the EWG report, for those
who are not sick of it yet.
