Subject: Re: [NCSG-Discuss] [] Joint SO-AC-SG-C Submission on ICANN's Enhancing ICANN Accountabitliy Plan / Registries comments
Hi,
I find I do not share the same zeal others have for some of the points on the joint statement list. I wish it focused more on Scope and Approval and less on varying formulas for building open community efforts.
I have lots of issues with what is written. I agree with Adam in thinking the claim that we have figured out how to do Cross Community Working Groups (CCWG) is a bit premature. Beyond what Adam has said, we do not have a good method for initiating such a group. This one is Board initiated; why is that so bad? I think that while a working group (WG) should have change control of their charter, starting with a draft charter someone else prepares is ok. And I think having the chartering
organization(s) approve the charter is also ok. In this case, I would recommend that the Supporting Organizations & Advisory Committees (SOAC) & the Board can approve any charter, if they wish. But CCWGs should be the ones that have change control of their charters. I will possibly send in an individual comment to that effect. Others who have their own points of view should consider their own brief comments.
But I also see value in working with the other Supporting Organizations & Advisory Committees (SOAC) & GNSO Stakeholder groups (SG). Given that the NCSG has not prepared its own comment, and has been working with the rest of SOAC & SGs this far on statements, not doing so now is probably a political statement we don't want to make. We should probably join the rest of them in this too.
As time runs out today/tomorrow, I think we should sign on.
