Notes
A lot of substantive comments. Team will compiling comments into a comprehensive understandable document that articulates what we have heard from community as part of this process. This is the fundamental task.
Group comments together prior to addressing response/action – example A lot of support to changes to mission, commitment and core values – need to clarify mission.
Our goal will be to produce a synthesis doc on these four areas. (mission, commitments and core values, Fundamental bylaws, IRP, reconsideration)
Additionally, group has been asked to think more holistically – to what extent is enforceability is of value, what extent is the structural issues, like memberships are they worth it to the communities.
Overarching issue – whether this structure creates risk of endless litigation or dispute, to the extent that the dispute mechanism can be used for stalling.
Request for volunteers:
- Paul Rozenzweig, David McAuley and David Post have volunteered to work on IRP section
- Consider new ideas that were brought into the conversation. List these new ideas.
Call for ideas on how to organize, etc.
Suggested to separate specific points/new ideas and other points that have already been discussed in the ccwg that has not reached consensus. Then do a sort of head count. Make sure new ideas are identified – include who mentioned it.
Pens down by 16 June
- Using comment 98 as example. Work one comment as group, so when breaking out into smaller group, approach is consistent. Identify answers, questions and new ideas/questions.
We need to analyze input first - identify principles - break out comments Identify commonalities between points. Need to analyze by issue and not by commenter initially. Identify as many issues first and themes / commonality – then whether is in favor or against.
What is the expectations from the work party?
Start with “bigger” topics, and identify smaller ones along the way.
Need volunteers to find pattern match - Malcolm Hutty – to identify themes/patterns on mission and core values – and will move to Fundamental bylaws – time permitting (to circulate template – for consistency)
Virtual whiteboard used once patterns have been identified. EOD Friday.
Suggestion: As a matter of time, while Malcolm works on pattern match, other can start principal discussion issues already identified: Capture, Human Right, Enforceability, Jurisdiction vs state/place of incorporation. Start a principle debate, heavy thinking.
Jonathan Zuck, David Post, Paul Rozenzweig on IRP
Reconsideration - David McAuley will identify trends, will help with IRP as well
Jurisdiction vs state/place of incorporation – some say stay in US, to be evaluated, etc – discussed in ST WP. What is the distinction? Example of Richard Hill comment regarding moving to Switzerland. No change to status quo, not change to where ICANN is incorporated. Fundamental bylaw or not? Finding balance for those who agree or disagree. Need to be sensitive on how this matter is described.
What is process for responding? Further discussion or make it a statement or fact.
Facts or principles? State significance. Use both, pros and cons.
Use a neutral tone in response.
Clarify factual context
Call for volunteer for specific issues.
Greg Shatan – jurisdiction vs state of incorporation
Regarding capture, will be addressed by Steve, Avri and Cheryl – SD asked that WP2 principle although we speak to transparency and disclosure, notice, the issue with respect to SO/AC will develop their own rules and procedures, but must inform community if the mechanism proved to be deficient or “rogue”.
Human rights – Avri Doria and Greg Shatan
Enforcement – David McAuley, Greg Shatan, Jonathan Zuck
Suggested principled discussion hold off until pattern match and trends are identified.
Seek a non-American for Enforcement topic
By tomorrow - volunteers to go through section, identify patters and identify pro/against.new ideas Others can start looking at substantive issues.
Enforcement – reference recent email from Chris Disspain. Sorting facts. Fact seem to be in dispute still. Using a designator model enforcement? Courts? Membership model? Using judicial process, courts, binding arbitration, etc.

Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (15:28) @Malcolm and Avri -- right! If we have a principled response on, say, capture, that will make responding much easier.
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (15:30) Agree
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (15:32) Capture. Enforcement. Role of Courts. etc.

Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (15:40) +1 Malcolm
David McAuley (RySG): (15:40) thanks
Becky Burr: (15:40) thanks avri, i appreciate that
Pär Brumark (GAC Niue): (15:40) +1 Malcom
Greg Shatan: (15:43) Malcolm for President of ICANN
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (15:43) thanks, Malcolm, for that time box
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (15:44) I think IPC is most interested in the IRP so I could take that
Becky Burr: (15:44) you are on Jonathan
David McAuley (RySG): (15:46) Reconsideration i can volunteer
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (15:46) Avri -- can you and I do capture of AC/SOs?
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (15:48) that's right, Becky
David McAuley (RySG): (15:50) excellent question
Carlos Raul: (15:51) you should not start with Richard Hill for Breakfast....
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (15:53) principled or "factual"
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (15:53) bylaw
Malcolm Hutty: (15:57) Agree, Avri, it will be delicate. I suggest pulling out themes is the most objectively analytical way of treating response, as in "Topic: jurisdiction/location of incorp. View: Becoming international is a point of principle. Adherents x,y,z. View:Jurisdiction doesn't matter so much as maximising deference to IRP. Adherents: a,b,c.
Malcolm Hutty: (15:57) etc
David McAuley (RySG): (16:01) Good points Steve
Avri Doria: (16:01) it matters for jurisdiction as well.
Malcolm Hutty: (16:03) +1 Jonathan
Avri Doria: (16:04) Jonathan, that is not what i said. that is why isad we were between a rock and a hard place.
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (16:04) It was Avri who suggested that CA law is probably adequate to give the community enforceable powers we have proposed.
Malcolm Hutty: (16:04) One of the aims of my analytical approach is to separate out reptition/variations on the same argument from different arguments. Then we can focus on the strongest arguments for each view. And if we can provide alternative means of satisfying the "losing" side of an argument, we can get closest to a consensus
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (16:05) I understood and agree with you Avri. I just meant that if we somehow implied that we were "waiting" until the USG is out of the picture, we'll end up with another chlalenge, that's all
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (16:05) @Malcolm -- My bet is that you get your pattern match done in 2 hours, so please reserve the balance of your time for substantive work on facts/principles
Malcolm Hutty: (16:05) Perhaps phrase "losing side" was inapposite
Malcolm Hutty: (16:05) @Steve, let's hope so
Avri Doria: (16:06) just like i don't want an angry US congress, i dont want an angry Brazil.
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (16:06) agree Avri
Malcolm Hutty: (16:07) But before that I'll do 3 passes: these are the patterns, these are the people spoke to them, then evaluation they (each indidivually) were very suppportive to very concerned
David McAuley (RySG): (16:08) Thanks Malcolm and then once wellstarted pls send "template" along
Becky Burr: (16:08) thanks Malcolm that will be enormously valuable
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (16:09) THanks, Greg!
David McAuley (RySG): (16:10) lost Steve
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (16:10) we can't afford to lose Steve!
David McAuley (RySG): (16:11) +1 Jonathan
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (16:11) clamy
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (16:12) Greg and Avri would be perfect
David McAuley (RySG): (16:13) I can help Avri once done with Reconsideration
David McAuley (RySG): (16:13) or help elsewhere
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (16:14) with both facts and principles
David McAuley (RySG): (16:14) enforcement - volunteer
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (16:14) what's the timing
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (16:14) it's not all for tomorrow evening, right?
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (16:15) We need a non-American on the issue of Enforceability
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (16:15) happy to help on enforcement
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (16:15) Carlos?
Greg Shatan: (16:15) I trust Jonathan and David to do a wonderful job.
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (16:16) we'll still need HELP on the facts, however
Greg Shatan: (16:16) I think it would be helpful to recap the "assignment."
Greg Shatan: (16:16) I am always happy to HELP.
David McAuley (RySG): (16:16) +1 Greg
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (16:16) @Malcomlm -some of us have READ the comments already!
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (16:16) we need to reporte out decision criteria for the larger group. here are the facts, here are the ideological considerations, now vote
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (16:17) tag the trends
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (16:18) +1 JZuck. much of our work is to chrystallize the pending/terending qiestions for our proposal draft v2
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (16:19) and the jurisdiction issue probably
Carlos Raul: (16:19) please define enforcement first.......
Greg Shatan: (16:20) I am technically a Canadian citizen (as well as US).... Does that help?
Carlos Raul: (16:20) I dont remember it for my readig of the draft as a clear and separate category
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (16:20) No help, Greg!
Greg Shatan: (16:20) Free maple syrup for life.
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (16:20) land of lawyer is a totally different jurisdiction
Malcolm Hutty: (16:21) Enforceability is one of my big issues, and I'm not American, but I can't volunteer to start on it tomorrow
Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (16:21) me either Malcolm. we'll start when we can
Malcolm Hutty: (16:21) Will get to it too
Carlos Raul: (16:22) thank you to put it in cintxt with the commuity empowerement. I had lost the relation
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (16:22) OPPOSITE: as soon as its clear that COmmunity powers are enforceable, THERE IS NO NEED to go to court
Malcolm Hutty: (16:22) "Question: does enforceability create more or less litigation"
Malcolm Hutty: (16:22) There's a potential theme
Avri Doria: (16:22) Greg i am going to sue you for saying that.
Carlos Raul: (16:23) ok
Carlos Raul: (16:23) thank you
Carlos Raul: (16:23) y remember the Chris Dispain thread
Greg Shatan: (16:23) Now I wish I was not a legal person.
Greg Shatan: (16:23) in both senses of the word.
Carlos Raul: (16:23) very good now, reduce the likelihood of going to court.
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (16:24) Right, Becky.
Greg Shatan: (16:24) Thank you for being an empath.
David McAuley (RySG): (16:24) maybe that was Greg driving away
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (16:24) I'm already making pancakes
Greg Shatan: (16:24) No, that's what I receive for being a Canadian.
Carlos Raul: (16:24) Grade B please (the maple syrup)
Greg Shatan: (16:24) Carlos, now I know about your darker side.
Greg Shatan: (16:25) (the maple syrup)
Carlos Raul: (16:25) :)
Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: (16:25) Exactly, JZuck. COurts are essential to Designator model enforcement
David McAuley (RySG): (16:27) there is no enforcement of anything that is fully resisted short of courts
Malcolm Hutty: (16:27) Indeed, David. Pretty much by definition
David McAuley (RySG): (16:30) good to comment on way forward Becky, with calendar entries
David McAuley (RySG): (16:30) Sounds good
