We are in consultation mode and see how we can go from there since no decision was discussed or made. nobody said that we will endorse it in the next 2 hours!! I think there is enough understanding that consultation within different groups takes time and need to be done properly. lets focus in substance and found if there is any point we disagree with in the statement and tell other ICANN groups.

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. avri On 26-Sep-14 07:39, Rafik Dammak wrote: > Hi, >=20 > lets go back to some basics here, > Keith from registries stakeholder group shared the statement and asked = if > we can have a joint statement between all ICANN groups. we have such > document to review, to comment and suggesting concrete and specific twe= aks. > We are in consultation mode and see how we can go from there since no > decision was discussed or made. nobody said that we will endorse it in = the > next 2 hours!! >=20 > I think there is enough understanding that consultation within differen= t > groups takes time and need to be done properly. lets focus in substance= and > found if there is any point we disagree with in the statement and tell > other ICANN groups. >=20 > Rafik >=20 > 2014-09-26 18:15 GMT+09:00 Adam <[log in to unmask]>: >=20 >> On Sep 26, 2014, at 5:38 PM, Robin Gross wrote: >> >>> Well this isn't a departure from what we said a month ago and a month >> before that. >> >> >> It's a new statement. >> >> Adam >> >> >>> Nothing new here that we haven't already gone over to exhaustion >> before.

Following last week's exchanges about how we handle membership applications and manage the membership databases NPOC offered to explore the those issues that could be addressed within the Charters of NCSG, NCUC and NPOC, and come back with some comments and suggestions. Here are the comments and suggestions, as a contribution to doing two simple things better. For the record, I am primary author of the comments. Sam L. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *NPOC Comments on Improving the Handling of Membership Applications and the Management of the Membership Database:* NPOC will open discussion on several issues in this comment, and suggest ways forward to greater clarity in the membership application process, and ways forward on the simple technical issue of maintaining NCSG, NCUC and NPOC membership data bases. Revising and improving how we handle the membership application process and membership databases are technical issues within the existing charters of NCSG, NCUC and NPOC and need to be kept separate from other membership issues that are charter related. This comment deals with the application process and the membership databases. Briefly reviewing the membership process, applicants apply for membership in the NCSG stakeholders group, and may (are urged to) apply for membership in one of the two constituency groups (NCUC and NPOC). Within the membership guidelines any non-commercial person or organization can also apply to the NCUC constituency group, but only not-for-profit organizations can apply to the NPOC constituency group. *The membership application process:* If one reviews the membership information and application processes on ICANN, NCSG, NCUC and NPOC it is clear that a constituent interested in membership can be left a bit confused. There is a need for a single common application form, located at one or more websites, with a common return to relevant membership committees, initially for NCSG consideration and NCUC/NPOC information, and subsequently for NCUC/NPOC consideration. There is also a need for more clarity about the membership options, and for fields within the common form that allow an applicant to at that time request (or not request) subsequent consideration for NCUC or NPOC membership. This is a well-defined task that could be addressed by a small ad hoc committee made up of ICANN staff and NCSG, NCUC and NPOC members. Such committee would not address membership issues that are Charter issues but could identify and report such issues back to NCSG. *Maintaining the membership database:* NCSG, NCUC and NPOC are part of ICANN and should be using Internet best practices for maintaining usable and up to date membership information. There are existing Internet best practices that can be drawn on to achieve those objectives. First, from a technical standpoint, from a user standpoint, and as reflected in the expressed views of Internet savvy NCSG members, there should be one master NCSG database with fields indicating NCUC and NPOC membership. This would allow those with approval the ability to access one or more of the NCSG, NCUC and NPOC views of the database. The majority of the fields in the membership database should be populated directly by field information from the membership application form. NCSG, NCUC, and NPOC may wish additional fields, either embedded in the overall NCSG database or added as custom fields to an extracted subset of membership data, possibly for special events or initiatives. The master NCSG database will always serve as the membership list of record. There are a number of issues with regard to the management of the membership database that require some discussion so that NCSG can take a position on them. They include: 1.Dialogue between the effort to construct the proper fields for the membership application and the field information desired by NCSG, NCUC and NPOC. 2.Where should the membership database be hosted? Should it be on an ICANN server or elsewhere? 3.Who should have what levels of access to the membership database? 4.Should members have password protected access to their own profiles in order to update information (especially important for organizations)? 5.Should profile access by via the ICANN dashboard? There may be other issues with regard to the membership application and the membership database that reside within the terms of reference of the respective NCSG, NCUC and NPOC charters. Some may come out in the dialogue on the issues and tasks listed in this NPOC comment. After a NCSG dialogue on these database issues it may be appropriate to strike a small ad hoc team to work up a concrete proposal to make recommendations to address the issues Sam Lanfranco, Chair, NPOC Policy Committee --------------020907050005000203030208 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-MIME-Autoconverted: from 8bit to quoted-printable by mx2.syr.edu id s8R3hSJZ007938 <html> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"content-type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3DUTF= -8"> </head> <body bgcolor=3D"#FFFFFF" text=3D"#000000"> NCSG colleagues,<br> <br> Following last week's exchanges about how we handle membership applications and manage the membership databases NPOC offered to explore the those issues that could be addressed within the Charters of NCSG, NCUC and NPOC, and come back with some comments and suggestions.

The primary goal of the CWG is to produce a consolidated transition proposal for the elements of the IANA Functions relating to the Domain NameSystem. Participating as observer Participation in the CWG is open to members and observers. In addition to members, who are appointed by the chartering organizations, anyone interested in the work of the CWG, can join as an observer. Observers are expected to actively participate and attend all meetings. The only difference between a member and an observer is that any consensus calls or formal decisions that may need to be made will be limited to CWG members appointed by the chartering organizations. However, this does not take away that it is the expectation that the CWG will operate as much as possible with the views and consensus support of all participants in mind as the importance of considering all input and views on this important topic is recognized. Observers may be from a chartering organization, from a stakeholder group or organization not represented in the CWG or currently active within ICANN, or self-appointed. How to join If you are interested in joining, please contact Grace Abuhamad ( [log in to unmask]), or the secretariats of your Supporting Organization or Advisory Committee. All participants (members and observers) will be listed on the CWG's webpage. All observers are also required to submit a Statement of Interest (SOI) following the procedures of their chartering organization, or where that is not applicable for observers, the GNSO Procedures should be followed (see https://community.icann.org/x/cYLg). Next steps The CWG is currently in formation. To date, the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), the Country Code Supporting Organization (ccNSO), the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) and the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) have adopted the charter, and are in the process of appointing members. *The CWG will have its first meeting <https://community.icann.org/x/6grxAg> (via teleconference) on 6 October at 13.00 UTC, followed by a F2F meeting in Los Angeles during the ICANN meeting <http://la51.icann.org/en/schedule/mon-iana-stewardship-naming> (scheduled for Monday 13 October from 12.15 =E2=80=93 13.45 local time (19.15 =E2=80= =93 22.45 UTC), with remote participation). Both sessions will be recorded and transcribed.= * Background The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has requested that ICANN"convene a multistakeholder process to develop a plan to transition the U.S. government stewardship role" with regard to the IANA Functions and related root zone management. In making its announcement, the NTIA specified that the transition proposal must have broad community support and meet the following principles: - Support and enhance the multistakeholder model - Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet DNS - Meet the needs and expectation of the global customers and partners of the IANA services - Maintain the openness of the Internet. NTIA also specified that it would not accept a proposal that replaces the NTIA role with a government-led or an intergovernmental organization solution. On June 6 ICANN proposed the creation of an IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) "responsible for preparing a transition proposal reflecting the differing needs of the various affected parties of the IANA functions." It was determined that Stewardship Transition proposals for each of the IANA functions should be developed by the directly affected communities, the IETF and IAB for IANA functions related to InternetProtocol Parameters; the NRO, the AS= O, and the RIRs for functions related the management and distribution of numbering resources; and the GNSO and ccNSO for functions related to the Do= main NameSystem. These efforts will inform the work of the ICG, whose responsibility is to develop an overall integrated transition proposal from these autonomously developed components. Two of IANA's global directly affected communities, the addressing and Internet protocol parameter communities, have responded to the NTIA's announcement and the formation of the ICG, by establishing working groups to provide input on their specific needs and expectations with respect to the IANAStewardship Transition. This CWG was formed as an integral part of this transition process, and to develop a proposal for the elements of the IANA Stewardship Transition that directly affect the naming community.

Here are the comments and suggestions, as a contribution to doing two simple things better. For the record, I am primary author of the comments. Sam L. ------------------------------ *NPOC Comments on Improving the Handling of Membership Applications and the Management of the Membership Database:* NPOC will open discussion on several issues in this comment, and suggest ways forward to greater clarity in the membership application process, and ways forward on the simple technical issue of maintaining NCSG, NCUC and NPOC membership data bases. Revising and improving how we handle the membership application process and membership databases are technical issues within the existing charters of NCSG, NCUC and NPOC and need to be kept separate from other membership issues that are charter related. This comment deals with the application process and the membership databases. Briefly reviewing the membership process, applicants apply for membership in the NCSG stakeholders group, and may (are urged to) apply for membership in one of the two constituency groups (NCUC and NPOC). Within the membership guidelines any non-commercial person or organization can also apply to the NCUC constituency group, but only not-for-profit organizations can apply to the NPOC constituency group. *The membership application process:* If one reviews the membership information and application processes on ICANN, NCSG, NCUC and NPOC it is clear that a constituent interested in membership can be left a bit confused. There is a need for a single common application form, located at one or more websites, with a common return to relevant membership committees, initially for NCSG consideration and NCUC/NPOC information, and subsequently for NCUC/NPOC consideration. There is also a need for more clarity about the membership options, and for fields within the common form that allow an applicant to at that time request (or not request) subsequent consideration for NCUC or NPOC membership. This is a well-defined task that could be addressed by a small ad hoc committee made up of ICANN staff and NCSG, NCUC and NPOC members. Such committee would not address membership issues that are Charter issues but could identify and report such issues back to NCSG. *Maintaining the membership database:* NCSG, NCUC and NPOC are part of ICANN and should be using Internet best practices for maintaining usable and up to date membership information. There are existing Internet best practices that can be drawn on to achieve those objectives. First, from a technical standpoint, from a user standpoint, and as reflected in the expressed views of Internet savvy NCSG members, there should be one master NCSG database with fields indicating NCUC and NPOC membership. This would allow those with approval the ability to access one or more of the NCSG, NCUC and NPOC views of the database. The majority of the fields in the membership database should be populated directly by field information from the membership application form. NCSG, NCUC, and NPOC may wish additional fields, either embedded in the overall NCSG database or added as custom fields to an extracted subset of membership data, possibly for special events or initiatives. The master NCSG database will always serve as the membership list of record. There are a number of issues with regard to the management of the membership database that require some discussion so that NCSG can take a position on them. They include: 1. Dialogue between the effort to construct the proper fields for the membership application and the field information desired by NCSG, NCUC and NPOC. 2. Where should the membership database be hosted? Should it be on an ICANN server or elsewhere? 3. Who should have what levels of access to the membership database? 4. Should members have password protected access to their own profiles in order to update information (especially important for organizations)? 5. Should profile access by via the ICANN dashboard? There may be other issues with regard to the membership application and the membership database that reside within the terms of reference of the respective NCSG, NCUC and NPOC charters. Some may come out in the dialogue on the issues and tasks listed in this NPOC comment. After a NCSG dialogue on these database issues it may be appropriate to strike a small ad hoc team to work up a concrete proposal to make recommendations to address the issues Sam Lanfranco, Chair, NPOC Policy Committee --047d7bfd021ab76b9b050407783a Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <p dir=3D"ltr">Hi Sam,</p> <p dir=3D"ltr">thanks for those comments, however I am putting some remarks= below because some assumptions you made<br> </p> <div class=3D"gmail_quot<blockquote class=3D" style=3D"margin:0 0 0 .8ex= ;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> =20 =20 =20 <div bgcolor=3D"#FFFFFF" text=3D"#000000"> NCSG colleagues,<br> <br> Following last week's exchanges about how we handle membership applications and manage the membership databases NPOC offered to explore the those issues that could be addressed within the Charters of NCSG, NCUC and NPOC, and come back with some comments and suggestions.

regarding the key functionalities for NCUC (which also apply for NPOC). I will address them in order, with a bit of commentary to help set a context for thought: *1. How would data base additions feed directly into our (NCUC) website listing of members? * Ideally, and easy to do, there could be a single operation (extracting a subset of a membership spreadsheet (or database) that produce the NCUC list. The labor-intensive way would be for NCUC (and NPOC) to simply do an extraction and update every time there are new NCSG members. It could be automated but that would take more effort on both the ICANN staff and whomever controls the NCUC and NPOC websites. The key would be a single membership list source, provided to NCSG (&NCUC and NPOC) as a constituency service by ICANN. The more automated the better. * **2. How to handle subscriptions to mailing lists?* I have run dozens of mailing lists (using listserv like Milton from Syracuse) and as a principle we always have someone from the stakeholder group with co-manager/moderator authority. That should be the case here. For the brief time I was NPOC membership chair I had great difficulty determining the subscriber list for npoc-voice. Automating population of mailing lists from a membership spreadsheet is a bit of work. I would propose that keeping the mailing lists up to date simply be a membership committee, or communications committee, task, since the numbers are small. The key issue here is access as a manager. My view is that the lists should be hosted by ICANN, but managed by the support and constituency groups. The other view, using the good offices of Syracuse (Milton) for this list, and IPJustice.org (Robin) works well, so choice here should be a NCSG decision. * **3. How to compose/verify voter lists for elections?* The key issue is that an eligible voter list be accurate. That starts from an accurate overall membership list, and accurate mailing lists so that a step involving qualifying voters (just a simply email response) works as it should. This is why I suggested that NCSG members have access to a membership profile page somewhere (within the ICANN dashboard?), a profile page is first populated by data from a successful application, feeds the membership database, and can be updated by the member. This is useful when a member is not just from an organization, but formally represents that organization and may be replaced over time. Profiles could be updated, with notice of update sent to those who maintain the mailing lists. The update would get captured to NCUC and NPOC with periodic/frequent NCUC and NPOC membership updates from the master NCSG membership list. Each of these is a quite simple improvement in handling these three areas, is common practice elsewhere, and certainly for ICANN, NCSG, NCUC and NPOC should be our best practice goals. After all, we deal with the Internet. We are not a consortium of potato farmers (which by the way do these tasks much better). It is a tribute to the hard work of ICANN volunteers and staff that things have been cobbled together as they have, and the work gets done. But, on occasion we have to pause, thank all for the hard work, and look to do things better. I am sure that many of us who have labored in these trenches over the years have seen the product of our hard infrastructure work be replaced, in an instant, by a simpler and more efficient solution. I usually congratulate the step forward and take pleasure in the fact that the digital discards simply vanish and do not land in land fills.

The other view, using the good offices of Syracuse (Milton) for this list, and IPJustice.org (Robin) works well, so choice here should be a NCSG decision.<br> <b><br> </b><b>3. How to compose/verify voter lists for elections?</b><br> The key issue is that an eligible voter list be accurate. That starts from an accurate overall membership list, and accurate mailing lists so that a step involving qualifying voters (just a simply email response) works as it should. This is why I suggested that NCSG members have access to a membership profile page somewhere (within the ICANN dashboard?), a profile page is first populated by data from a successful application, feeds the membership database, and can be updated by the member. This is useful when a member is not just from an organization, but formally represents that organization and may be replaced over time. Profiles could be updated, with notice of update sent to those who maintain the mailing lists. The update would get captured to NCUC and NPOC with periodic/frequent NCUC and NPOC membership updates from the master NCSG membership list. <br> <br> Each of these is a quite simple improvement in handling these three areas, is common practice elsewhere, and certainly for ICANN, NCSG, NCUC and NPOC should be our best practice goals. After all, we deal with the Internet. We are not a consortium of potato farmers (which by the way do these tasks much better). It is a tribute to the hard work of ICANN volunteers and staff that things have been cobbled together as they have, and the work gets done. But, on occasion we have to pause, thank all for the hard work, and look to do things better. I am sure that many of us who have labored in these trenches over the years have seen the product of our hard infrastructure work be replaced, in an instant, by a simpler and more efficient solution. I usually congratulate the step forward and take pleasure in the fact that the digital discards simply vanish and do not land in land fills. <br> <br> Sam m<br> <br> <i><font color="#330099">On 27/09/2014 3:02 AM, William Drake wrote:<br> </font></i></div> <blockquote cite="mid:[log in to unmask]" type="cite"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <i><font color="#330099">Hi</font></i> <div><i><font color="#330099"><br> </font></i></div> <div><i><font color="#330099">Thanks Sam.</font></i></div> <div><i><font color="#330099"><br> </font></i></div> <div><i><font color="#330099">For the techies here (especially Tapani, who seems the most familiar): Off the top of my head on my first coffee of the morning, a couple question arise: If we have an integrated db for all of NCSG, how if at all would it affect the key functionalities for NCUC, e.g. having data base additions feed directly into our website listing of members (and subscribing new members to mail lists), and the conduct of our elections?

It would not need to have any visible impact on those, although some changes might be useful. > Could we set this up in a way that Maryam just handles it for > everyone? How various tasks would be delegated is more of a political than technical issue, but I was thinking along the lines of "click-to-approve" interface for NCSG, NCUC and NPOC, who could decide within themselves if it's the Chair or treasurer or whoever who uses it. Everything else should be more or less automatic. > How would we handle a hosting transfer? That would depend on where it'd be transferred.

I can see three obvious alternatives: * NCUC's member database now lives in NCUC's own (virtual) server, and it could just as easily handle entire NCSG. (Websites of NPOC and NCSG could still live elsewhere, just accessing the database in NCUC's server.) In this case there'd be no need to transfer hosting, only updating the database (adding new fields and NPOC and other non-NCUC members of NCSG). * A dedicated virtual server for the purpose could be purchased. Moving the database (so that NCUC's server would also access it remotely) would be trivial (assuming a similar i.e. Linux server). * ICANN might want to offer a server (or just database in one) for NCSG. In this case we'd need to work with ICANN technical staff; I spoke about it with some of them last year, and they were a bit cautious about giving NCUC direct access to a database in their machines, so transfer would depend on them. > > 3. Who should have what levels of access to the membership database? That is a good question. First, whoever maintains the machine it lives in will rather inevitably have full access from a technical point of view (there are some means of splitting that but they're rather cumbersome and hard to do well, probably not practical). The choice here is between ICANN staff if we use their servers and "our own people", i.e., whoever NCSG gets to do the job. Second, from administrative point of view access can be restricted as narrowly as we want. E.g., NPOC Chair (or whoever they nominate as membership manager or whatever) could be limited to seeing only NPOC members' and applicants' data and changing their NPOC membership status, similarly for NCUC, whereas NCSG Chair &c could see all members, and someone (perhaps just one person for NCSG) should have "secretarial" access, i.e., ability to edit contact details &c. > > 4.

Should profile access by via the ICANN dashboard? I have no strong opinion on that but I'll have to note it is both technical and political question and increase our dependency on ICANN. -- Tapani Tarvainen ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2014 19:57:18 +0300 Reply-To: Tapani Tarvainen <[log in to unmask]> Sender: NCSG-Discuss <[log in to unmask]> From: Tapani Tarvainen <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: NPOC Comment Re: Member Admission Process and Member Databases In-Reply-To: <[log in to unmask]> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> On Sat, Sep 27, 2014 at 09:13:52AM -0400, Sam Lanfranco ([log in to unmask]) wrote: > *1.

That's what I had in mind, and indeed it is how NCUC website now works: while the database is now in the same machine, it is used in such a way that it could be moved elsewhere without any changes (apart from setting the database location in where it's called). If you want spreadsheet-style it is easy to extract CSV files from the database, but I think it'd be better to have a simple web interface for browsing the database (or subset thereof) directly. (For NCUC there already is a script to produce voter list in the form ICANN voting system needs them.) > **2.

But almost trivial from a real database and mailing list software that can be easily scripted (like Mailman running NCUC's lists) and with direct access (not just web interface!) to it. If the database is considered to be the definitive source of addresses and list memberships, syncing them over to Mailman takes about three lines of code (been there, done that). It could be done with LISTSERV(tm) as well, but it's somewhat more complicated (especially without admin level access to the machine running listserv). Ditto with ICANN-managed lists, easy automated updates would require level of access they may not want to give us. > **3.

That's close to what I had in mind, but I'd tie the profile page directly to the master database. That way it'd be always up to date, any changes members make to their data would be instantly visible to anyone viewing the database (including public lists in websites). I'm not sure how easy that would be if se use ICANN dashboard (again, depends on what kind of access ICANN would give us). As for verification, the scheme I wrote last year for NCUC worked pretty well, although it could be automated even more. Something like this: A specified time before election (or triggered manually if preferred), send an automated email to all members, showing their current details and including URLs (buttons) to click either to just confirm their activity or to change their details. A second reminder could be sent a specified time later to those who haven't replied to the first. And of course Chairs (&c) could at any time view the status and if desired take manual action as well. -- Tapani Tarvainen ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2014 19:38:58 +0000 Reply-To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Ol=E9vi=E9_Kouami?= <[log in to unmask]> Sender: NCSG-Discuss <[log in to unmask]> From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Ol=E9vi=E9_Kouami?= <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: [bestbits] Nomination to MAG X-To: Ephraim Percy Kenyanito <[log in to unmask]> In-Reply-To: <[log in to unmask]> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=14dae9cc9c68585f730504112fb6 Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> --14dae9cc9c68585f730504112fb6 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi all ! +1 @Ephraim Percy Kenyanito.

Rather than making a long response I=20 would like to extract the key points [numbered] for follow up. The objective is to manage these two processes while making NCSG and its=20 constituency groups, best practice users of the Internet to. This will=20 reduce administrative demands on the various executives and volunteers,=20 freeing up more time to deal with substantive and policy issues. One overarching issue has to do with how much ICANN support and=20 involvement does NCSG want. Is it is an issue of trust, of efficiency,=20 or of optics that suggests that little be hosted on ICANN servers? This=20 needs to be discussed, and decisions arrived at. There are pluses and=20 minuses whichever way one goes here. At the moment there are at least=20 three independent server sites support NCSG and constituency services. 1.We are in agreement with the idea that there should be one application=20 form for NCSG that clearly states the constituency (NCUC/NPOC/neither)=20 membership options. The form can reside on NCSG, NCUC and NPOC websites=20 and report back to admissions email boxes. With regard to application=20 improvements, there is no suggestion for over engineering, and in fact=20 the opposite. A clear and concise application form will expedite=20 application by interested parties, and expedite the admission processes=20 at both the NCSG and constituency levels. 2.Glad to hear that application improvement is being discussed,=20 including a review of appropriate fields for the admission process, and=20 what fields may be needed by NCSG, NCUC and NPOC. The key point is that=20 fields should serve both the admissions process and the ongoing work of=20 NCSG and the constituencies. Proposals for changes here (record forms=20 and fields) should be shared with NCSG members to gather member feedback=20 and draw on member expertise. 3.With regard to maintaining the membership database:Best practices for=20 maintaining the membership databases should put membership updating in=20 the hands of members. While NCSG and the constituency groups may always=20 have to chase laggards with faulty membership data, the process should=20 have self-administered membership profiles, to facilitate ease of member=20 access and to free up executive time and talents for more important work. 4.The aution not adding fields not directly related to applications or=20 aimed for specific purpose of course makes sense. Fields can be added=20 when parts of the database are imported, for local (NCUC/NPOC) use. One=20 way to facilitate that is for member profiles to contain fields for more=20 information than just what is on the membership application. This=20 doesn=E2=80=99t burden the application process, facilitates profile updat= es, and=20 doesn=E2=80=99t take up NCSG executive time. 5.The question of where to host the membership database and services is=20 important and part of the overarching issue referenced above. Hosting=20 it, or not hosting it at ICANN, has maintenance implications, access=20 implications, and possibly political (optics) implications. 6.The issue of database access is not complicated. Below the high level=20 editing access, there can be only edit/view/export access. NCUC and=20 NPOC can export some/all of the database and add whatever they need. The=20 NCSG Charter makes the NCSG EC and Chair responsible for maintaining and=20 updating the membership database, but that does not mean that they=20 should use valuable EC and Chair time to manually do what is an=20 administrative task. However that is done, membership profiles would=20 help. The current process of having members update records by contacting=20 the NCSG chair is needlessly burdensome and inefficient. 7.With regard to where profiles should reside, that doesn=E2=80=99t reall= y=20 matter. The prior issue to be resolved is what services should be=20 mounted at ICANN, or elsewhere, and how profile access should be=20 managed. The profile approach respects the KISS principle, gives more=20 power to the stakeholder, and reduces labor demands on the executive and=20 administration. The overall goal is to do these things efficiently and effective, and=20 free up executive and volunteer effort to deal with policy and other=20 matters of substance.

However that is done, membership profiles would help. The current process of having members update records by contacting the NCSG chair is needlessly burdensome and inefficient. <o:p></o:p><br> <br> <o:p>=C2=A0</o:p><span style=3D"mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-lat= in"><span style=3D"mso-list:Ignore">7.<span style=3D"font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style=3D"mso-spacerun:yes">=C2=A0</span>With regard to where profiles should reside, that doesn=E2=80=99t really m= atter. The prior issue to be resolved is what services should be mounted at ICANN, or elsewhere, and how profile access should be managed. The profile approach respects the KISS principle, gives more power to the stakeholder, and reduces labor demands on the executive and administration. <o:p></o:p><br> <br> The overall goal is to do

ICANN's claims about the need to narrow the scope of the = accountability work to only those accountability issues that relate = specifically to the IANA stewardship transition should be rejected. = There is no logical reason to limit the scope of the group's work, = except to stifle the community from exploring accountability issues that = ICANN would rather not be explored. ICANN's attempt to limit the scope = of accountability efforts is an example of where ICANN's conflict of = interest unfortunately influences its handling of the issue in the = overall process. >=20 > Only Stakeholders Should be Included in Consensus Calls >=20 > Decisions on the coordination group should be made by the = stake-holders whom ICANN was established to serve, not appointed = "experts", ICANN staff, or board. Experts should serve in an advisory = role, providing expertise to the stakeholders as requested, but should = not comprise the decision making body nor consensus calls. ICANN Board = and Staff should serve in liaison and informational roles in = coordination group and not comprise the decision making body nor = consensus calls. Stakeholder representatives should be provided = "alternates" to assist with work on the coordination group. ICANN often = claims to be legitimate because its governance decisions are made via = bottom-up processes. "Bottom-up" decision making requires that those = people who are impacted by the decisions should be making them. It is = the democratic principle of self-governance which ICANN should be = incorporating into its structures including the organization's critical = accountability efforts. The community should drive this process, not = staff nor board of ICANN, and not appointed experts. >=20 > Provide for Independent Accountability Mechanisms >=20 > The importance of an independent mechanism that ensures ICANN will be = accountable to the community it serves cannot be underscored enough. = None of ICANN's existing accountability mechanisms are independent from = the board and thus all accountability improvements depend on the = agreement of ICANN's board of directors to implement. While trust is = important and a necessary precondition to productive engagement, trust = alone is insufficient for building a robust governance system that is = capable of remaining accountability irrespective of the individuals = serving in official or decision making capacities. The goal is to build = a system that doesn't have to rely on trusting the specific individuals = who make decisions. We should build a governance system with robust = checks and balances and independent mechanisms that ensure = accountability in the absence of trust and regardless of motivations. >=20 > Board Rejection of Accountability Recommendations >=20 > Neither ICANN's Board nor staff should be allowed to reject the = recommendations of the group without going through the community = engagement process described in the cross community submission.

To link them gives the impression that joining a constituency is the norm and is an expectation is not a requirement. It isn't. It is an extra membership that one should consider carefully once they have been a NCSG for a while. I do believe that there should be a single database with sufficient access control to allow anyone in the world to see who is a member of the NCSG and of any of its constituencies to meet transparency requirements, with all other information restricted to the member and a secretariat function. avri On 27-Sep-14 16:07, Sam Lanfranco wrote: > Rafik, >=20 > Thanks for the useful questions and comments, and thanks to Tapani for > his comments and his expertise.

There could be: 1. An NCSG membership application, also listing the options for NCUC and NPOC membership, and a place on the form where applicants can apply. 2. An NCSG membership application, information about NCSG or NPOC membership options, the requirements, and where to go online to apply. The extent of decoupling and which process to use should be NCSG membership policy decisions.

I tend to agree with this, even if it means a bit more effort from NCSG. Having our own database in our own server would be ideal in this respect (like NCUC does now). Feeding data back to ICANN's Confluence wiki could be easily automated to some extent, as desired (even though Confluence is, eh, not quite as flexible as one might hope). > > 3.

That would be very easy to arrange. They might also have write access to constituency membership status (could be in a separate table) or whatever constituency-specific tables they desire. > > 4.

True. It would need some work to implement that, but not all that much, given that we don't really need ultra-high-secure system. > members just need to update records by informing the NCSG chair during the > check-in election process. if an organization don't do that during a > check-in period, it is unlikely to do it in other time. Yes, but it would be easier on them as well as on you if they could simply update it in a web form. If a check-in message contains a direct link to such a form, it would be even easier. > > 5.

Historically trust (and "optics" as you put it) has been a big factor there, but efficiency is also relevant, in particular that ICANN tends to move somewhat slowly and their staff, while compenetent, doesn't always understand our needs or don't have the resources to provide the flexibility we'd like. -- Tapani Tarvainen ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2014 09:42:25 +0300 Reply-To: Tapani Tarvainen <[log in to unmask]> Sender: NCSG-Discuss <[log in to unmask]> From: Tapani Tarvainen <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: NPOC Comment Re: Member Admission Process and Member Databases In-Reply-To: <[log in to unmask]> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> On Sat, Sep 27, 2014 at 11:42:26PM -0400, Avri Doria ([log in to unmask]) wrote: > Hi, > > I still believe that the two applications processes > > - to join the NCSG > - to join a constituency > > Should be completely de-coupled. > > To link them gives the impression that joining a constituency is the > norm and is an expectation is not a requirement.

Technically it is easy enough to do either way, regardless of the database solution used. It is also easy to change at any time, just remove the tick boxes for joining constituencies in the NCSG application form, or change their shape or whatever. Given the way constituencies now work (and SG doesn't) in recruiting new members to their own ranks it makes sense to keep constituency application in the same form, but I suspect that's exactly what you want to change... anyway, as noted, it's not a technical issue. > I do believe that there should be a single database with sufficient > access control to allow anyone in the world to see who is a member of > the NCSG and of any of its constituencies to meet transparency > requirements, with all other information restricted to the member and a > secretariat function.

Thanks all for the endorsements and more especially from the young people and those from the global south as this are two constituencies that I am blessed to be part of. Please find my somewhat long and detailed statement below. To respond to Bill, thanks for your endorsement and I =E2=80=8Bdo ascertain that=E2=80=8B I have the energy and bandwidth to provide great ideas in defending user rights and advancing policy and advocacy engagements in this respect. Name: Ephraim Percy Kenyanito Region of residence: Africa Nationality: =E2=80=8BKenyan =E2=80=8B Gender: Male Personal statement and IG-related work: I am a Policy Fellow working with the Policy team for Access ( https://www.accessnow.org/ ), where I focus on the connection between internet policy and human rights and specifically works on Internet Governance Reforms. Since joining Access, I have extensively supported Access in analyzing and contributing to international and national African policy positions at major internet governance fora, including the recent NetMundial meeting, the International Telecommunication Union, and the African Union Convention on Cybersecurity, among others and have assisted to extend and defend rights of users through ICANN Civil Society related events. I a member of the interim steering committee for the Youth Coalition on Internet Governance (a Dynamic Coalition of the IGF). I am also an affiliate at the Internet Policy Observatory (IPO) ( http://globalnetpolicy.org/about/ipo-affiliates/ ) (created by the Center for Global Communication Studies at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania). Being only 21 years in July 2013, I was the youngest fellow of the African School on Internet Governance, held in South Africa and run by Association for Progressive Communications (APC) and NEPAD (the technical body of the African Union). In the mean time, I am scheduled to graduate from Law School in 2015 and I am also a Global Civics Student at the Global Civics Academy (www.globalcivics.net ) Prior to Access and Internet Policy Observatory, I have worked with Transparency International (Kenya Chapter) in the Advocacy and Legal Advisory Centre (ALAC Eldoret Office) programme as a Law Student Intern for two years. The programme offers free legal advice to victims and witnesses of corruption and at the same time empower members of the Kenyan public to advocate for transparency and accountability in management of public affairs and is active in advocating for Freedom of Information and Data Protection Laws in Kenya. =E2=80=8BPost IGF 2011 in Nairobi Kenya, Transparency International-Kenya h= as played active role in using ICTs in human rights, to the point of organizing a hack-a-thon which brings developers together to through a weekend marathon of developing apps that can be used in human rights work. The programme also uses a toll free call centre, social media and FM radio programmes to empower and promote community participation in monitoring public service delivery. I am a previous attendee at IGF at (as an on-site participant and remotely) both at the global and African regional level and more recently in the last IGF 2014 Istanbul, I engaged assertively =E2=80=8Bas an on-site=E2=80=8B =E2=80=8B=E2=80=8B=E2=80=8B panellist =E2=80=8B=E2=80=8B on the following sessions: Developing countries participation in global IG- http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/wks2014/index.php/proposal/view_public/114 Youth Coalition on Internet Governance- www.intgovforum.org/cms/147-igf-2014/1861-igf-2014-youth-coalition-on-inter= net-governance-meeting Net Neutrality Main Session- https://igf2014.sched.org/event/11c53224e232d7f3298247f3ec624e44 I am a member of a number of academic, end-user and activist mailing lists, and I plan to feed to consult report back about MAG discussions regularly. I plan to also write regular blog posts in assisting with this purpose. As a 22 year old youth, I believe that the youth are not leaders of tomorrow but of today and involving youth in IG processes ensures that there is no generational gap as regards to Internet Policy advancement. =E2=80=8BI have often believe that young people ought to be at the forefron= t in advancing democratic and positive institutional reform. =E2=80=8B My position is consistent with Civil Society views such as BestBits on the need for diversity in terms of age ( =E2=80=8B=E2=80=8B b =E2=80=8B=E2=80=8B estbits.net/2014-mag-nominations/ ) and Internet Governance Caucus that =E2=80=9C..Targeting youth groups or the younger generation of professional= s will have, in the long run, an effective impact..=E2=80=9D ( http://igcaucus.org/answers-cstd-questionnaire-improvements-igf-19-november= -2010 ) This gap on youth involvement in IG has repeatedly been identified during subsequent, IGFs and more recently in IGF 2014, attendees pointed out that youth are about 3% minority in the IGF community (September 5th 2014 11.00 Taking Stock =E2=80=8B =E2=80=8B / Emerging issues), which is consistent with 23 November 2010 IGF MAG Meeting (http://igf.wgig.org/cms/mag/102-igf-2010/transcripts2010 ) where it was stated, =E2=80=9C...I think that we should have an opportunity to pr= ovide it -- to provide opportunities for youth representation from African countries, Asian, former USSR, other countries, to make it the IGF's better mandate...=E2=80=9D My views for IGF reform are that Civil Society needs to take a more prominent role in the IGF decision making and this is outlined at this BestBits statement: <http://bestbits.net/igf-2014-submission/> <http://bestbits.net/igf-2014-submission/> and in this IG- Caucus 2010 statement that is still relevant to-date: http://www.unctad.info/upload/CSTD-IGF/Contributions/M1/CSIGC.pdf Bio Ephraim is a Policy Fellow working with the Policy team for Access ( https://www.accessnow.org/ ), where he focuses on the connection between internet policy and human rights and specifically works on Internet Governance Reforms.

Despite the effort, the information is not very useful: * Uneven criteria for calculating number of speakers. E.g. while the number of Spanish speakers has been calculated on the basis of the population of the the countries where Spanish is the official language, the number of English speakers has been calculated on other (unknown) basis. * That leads to a gross understatement of the number of Spanish speakers (perhaps others too, but I have no reliable figures), by excluding e.g. the 40+ million people in the US that have Spanish as their mother tongue.[1] * But even if those figures were correct (or based on the same assumptions), they are of little use. When trying to analyze linguistic diversity in the Internet, we should take into account two factors: (a) The number of people proficient enough in a language to clearly understand contents written in that language, and (b) The volume of contents available for each language. * There is another, seemingly unsurmountable problem: while Internet penetration rates are calculated on country basis, such distribution is often uneven across language borders. E.g., Internet access for primarily Quechua-speaking communities in Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, where Spanish is the majority language, is well below the related national averages.[2] Regards, Enrique [1] The total number of people having Spanish as their first language or usual communication language beyond their family/community group could be estimated around 487 million, give or take 1 %. [2] And I won't even tuch the issue of contents, which are less than minimal for a language spoken by about 9 million people. ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2014 17:41:46 +0000 Reply-To: Mamadou LO <[log in to unmask]> Sender: NCSG-Discuss <[log in to unmask]> From: Mamadou LO <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: "INTERNET WORLD USERS BY LANGUAGE" X-To: Enrique Chaparro <[log in to unmask]> In-Reply-To: <[log in to unmask]> Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="_69e107d9-a687-4839-942c-4f9a4de389f6_" MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> --_69e107d9-a687-4839-942c-4f9a4de389f6_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Thanks Enrique!

Since switching from being primarily an ICT for Development researcher to participation in Internet governance discussions at the WSIS meeting post Geneva in 2003, I have associated with civil society and participated as civil society in many venues. Using the 3 way split established in WSIS and required by the IGF, I associate with Civil Society. I am a member of the IGC and of the NCSG, participate in Bestbits and work part time for APC. I have requested that APC endorse my nomination. I believe NCSG is also considering it. I also associate with both of the Tunis Agenda cross cutting groups: Academia and the Internet Community. In terms of this call for the MAG, I am only being considered by Civil Society and would not agree to being considered by more that one of the groups. I believe I have been vocal and assertive in behalf of public interest concerns as I understand them, whether they were my issues or the issues held by others in civil society. * Willingness and commitment to consult with and report back to CS networks (including beyond those focused on internet governance where appropriate) on MAG discussions. I am most willing to do so and believe that when I have had roles in civil society, have shown that I have done so. Reporting back to my community (ies) is a responsibility I take seriously. I have on occasion been slower at doing it than is optimal, but I keep trying to improve. While Civil Society does not come with one opinion, I think it is important for an appointee from a stakeholder group to do her best to make sure that the variety of the stakeholder group's views is expressed on issues as best as possible. One cannot just argue ones own view, but must make sure that all views expressed in the stakeholder group are given sufficient expression in discussions and in consensus building. * Previous attendee at IGF at a global or regional level. I have attended all of the IGF meetings since it was created. For the first 5 years I attended as a member of the IGF Secretariat. The last few years I attended as a civil society participant. As I have mentioned, I also consider myself to be part of the Internet Technical Community. In Bali, I briefly wore a badge that indicated I was Technical Community, but it did not feel quite right, so I got a another badge made that said Civil Society. I have also attended several IGF-USA and EuroDIG. I am a member of the IGF Support Association (IGFSA) Executive Committee. * Willing, available and able to participate effectively and constructively in the MAG deliberations. I am willing, will makes myself available, and believe that I am able to participate effectively and constructively in the MAG. I believe that the MAG has lots of work to do, together with with the community, to enable the IGF continue to improve. It is exciting that it is starting to work on outcomes and continuing work between annual meetings. This is a trend I believe must be reinforced. I also believe that the MAG needs to make greater use of its UN DESA advisory capabilities to bring the community the sort of progress and processes they expect from the IGF.
