Notes

1. Opening Remarks (roll call, SOI)

Greg on audio

 

2. Plan for the week 

Two big dates this week that will guide the work

·  28 July: Documents Freeze 

·  31 July: Publication of 2nd draft proposal

Plan is to send the remaining documents for lawyers review by COB today. 

 

3. Clarification of process for 2nd Public Comment

·  Aim to have set of implemetable recommendations for the community

·  May need a call on Thursday 12:00 UTC to finish going through report

·CoChairs sense there is a lot of support for the "overall package" of the report, but that there are concerns about specific parts of the proposal. Important for the community to see the support in the group as they review the draft for Public Comment

·Minority statements are reserved for those who disagree with the "overall package" as opposed to specific sections/parts.

·  Last resort will be formal consensus call and/or vote by members 

 

4.Review 2nd draft proposal for Public Comment (section by section, to be continued on Thursday at 12:00 UTC if needed) 

Documents for today's call are listed on Meeting page: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/sgDTBQ

We will list edits/action items and consensus level for each section. 


Section 3A: Mission, Commitments, & Core Values

Action (Becky/WP2): provide rationale for Core Value 7 to the CCWG. If the text with rationale is not acceptable, put the text in brackets. 

·Suggestion 1: use WSIS wording:  "... based on the full participation of all stakeholders, from both developed and developing countries, within their respective roles and responsibilities." Any objections to using WSIS wording? Yes, Sebastien Bachollet: the other organizations function differently from ICANN so their language is not appropriate. --> Decision not to move forward with suggestion 1

·Suggestion 2: rewrite Core Value 7 to reflect the following: "... responsibile for public policy and duly taking into account the public policy advice of governments ad public authorities." Any objections? Yes, Robin Gross --> Decision not to move forward with suggestion 2

·  Suggestion 3: Agree with deleting "within their respective jurisdictions"? Yes: majortity; No: 3 --> Decision to move forward with suggestion 3

Recap: look into legal advice and, depending on what comes back, may turn this into WS2 item. 

 

Section 3B: Fundamental Bylaws

Outstanding question on what would be required to change ICANN's headquarters. 

Current language in Articles of Incorporation:

9. These Articles may be amended by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the directors of the Corporation. When the Corporation has members, any such amendment must be ratified by a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the members voting on any proposed amendment.

Action (Sidley/Adler): Review question and confirm: whether 2/3 of the Board and member is legal. Answer will likely be yes. 

Any objections to what is written in this section 3B? No. 

Action (Jordan): edit the sentence to clarify the language: "... and the approval of community mechanism as sole member" 

 

Section 4.1: IRP

·Note: Becky will walk the group through issues and resolutions. The text is not available yet, so agreement here is agreement to the decisions made, not to the accuracy of the text in implementing those decisions. CCWG needs an oppoirtunity to check the text correctly reflects the report provided by Becky. 

·Period of consideration of IRP issues? normal time would be 6 months. If loonger, the panel would need to issue a report with estimated schedule for completion. 

·To what extent are decisions binding? if in violation of bylaws, the multistakeholder model would have influence in how to address. 

·Any objections to the IRP section? No, but Tijani Ben Jemaa and Alice Munyua have concerns about the 6-month period of consultation (issue with gaming the system). 

·  To clarify, there is no IRP on GAC advice (only IRP is for ICANN implementation). 

Action (Becky/WP2): Review text to address Tijani's concern and recirculate to CCWG

 

Section 4.2: Reconsideration

·Ombudsman's role and independence is being evaluated as part of WS2 to ensure propoer independece

·  Any objections to this section? No

Section 5A: Community Mechanism 

Action (Malcolm): write an email to Jordan/WP1 nd Leon about legal question regarding model and associated models. 

Action (Jordan): remove asterisks in voting mechanism document or clarify their purpose (where each AC stands at this point in their decision to participate)

·Any objections to this document?  Robin Gross: concern about how the votes are distributed across the communities.

  Grace Abuhamad: (06:06) https://icann-community.icannatlassian.orgnet/wiki/x/NIpCAwsgDTBQ

  arasteh: (06:06) Pls compare what is now available and what was available two wedks ago

...

  Carlos Raul: (06:23) all papers under https://icann-community.icannatlassian.orgnet/wiki/x/NIpCAwsgDTBQ

  jorge cancio (GAC): (06:24) @Greg: there was an email exchange and I explained why IMHO the insertion of "within their jurisdictions" is not warranted as Govts together issue international public policy - in this case public policy advice. "Within their jurisdiction" seems to limit govts role to national policy.

...

  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rptr): (06:32) dear Kavouss: if you can look at this document, please look and see what you think: https://icann-community.icannatlassian.orgnet/wiki/download/attachments/5288842197715774/5A2-Community-Mechanism-Voting-PenultimateDraft-trackchanges.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1438079109926&api=v2
