Dear all,

As we discussed today during the NCSG policy committee meeting, the
following questions have been chosen as topics for discussions with the
Board and have been communicated to Bruce Tonkin.

Thank you and looking forward to seeing you in our NCSG-Board session on
Tuesday, 17:00-18:00, in room Atlas.

Best wishes,
Marília

Question 1:

How does the Board’s Organisational Effectiveness Committee plan on
handling the feedback from the GNSO Review Working Party/GNSO Council on
Westlake’s recommendations, particularly where there is conflict between
what Westlake have recommended, and what the GNSO Working Party believes to
be a more desirable course of action?

Presenter of the question: Amr Elsadr



Question 2:

Does the Board agree on the need for greater "Awareness and Capacity
Building for Broader and Deeper Engagement in ICANN Policy and for a Secure
and Stable DNS"? If so, what are the parameters under which this should be
implemented?

Presenter: Klaus Stoll



Question 3:

The cross community working party on ICANN’s Corporate and Social
Responsibility to Respect Human Rights has been discussing a human rights
policy for ICANN, which would be needed to live up to the commitment to
respect human rights encompassed in the CCWG report. How does the board
envision a process for the development of a human rights policy for ICANN?
Would there be dedicated ICANN staff working on the development of a human
rights policy who could also function as a focal point on human rights? And
if so, who would this person likely be? Would a Board’s human rights
statement be part of endeavor, as suggested by the Board in your comments
to the 3rd draft report of the CCWG on Accountability?

Presenter: Niels ten Oever



Question 4:

ICANN has invested on hiring policy staffers in the last year and has an
enormous new capability for workflow, but the stakeholders do not. There is
no way to keep up with what is "in the queue" and coming down the pike. How
do we make the workload reasonable if we want the volunteer,
multi-stakeholder model to continue? Is it based on ICANN capacity or
stakeholder capacity?
