Rafik: (07:59) hi all
Rafik: (08:00) we will start in one minute
Herb Waye Ombuds: (08:02) Greetings all
Sebastien (ALAC): (08:02) Can we have hte link to the last document?
Bernard Turcotte - ICANN: (08:05) Next WS2 Plenary is 30 August documents due 23 August which is Wednesday next week.
Bernard Turcotte - ICANN: (08:07) @Dalila - hand?
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:10) it wasn't a recommendation but it was a whole section
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:12) yes the implementation details were discussed to be left out
Fiona Asonga: (08:13) Ergy talked to us before the survey
Fiona Asonga: (08:14) We were even sent the questionnaire before it went out
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:17) we want to have diversity, improve it
Fiona Asonga: (08:17) A diversity Office is not the only way to improve diversity
Fiona Asonga: (08:18) We may have an office but with a non-perfroming staff since the expectations will not be clear
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:19) the concern is that non independent diversity monitoring and evaluation may hinder the progress of recommendations
Fiona Asonga: (08:20) How will the office will create non-independence?
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:21) Fiona, that is the dilemma. once we get to this point, the idea of independent assessement gets dismissed as implememntation detail
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:22) certainly staff has constraints that won't create independence
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:22) so maybe we can compromise on just asserting on an extra recommendation about independent monitoring and assessing of recommendations
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:26) Staff has been helpful and is great
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:27) But just like ombudsman work, diversity work also needs a degree of dettachment from organization
judith hellerstein: (08:28) @Fiona you are correct. We are trying to change the culture of the organization and that is hard to do
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:30) maybe a mechanism of staff and community
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:31) truly it is the beginhing of a journey of 1000 steps
Bernard Turcotte - ICANN: (08:31) Time check - 30 minutes left in call
Fiona Asonga: (08:34) @Dalila we have capture it in a manner that doesn't allow for micro-managing
Fiona Asonga: (08:35) You seem not to appreciate how we hvae captured it
Fiona Asonga: (08:35) You want only your exact wording which is the problem.
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:36) Rec 5 has the word review
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:36) maybe build up on that
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:36) ?
Fiona Asonga: (08:36) Thanks Renata for pointing that out
Fiona Asonga: (08:37) Yes it does
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:37) "independently review and update"
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:37) just add "independently"
Herb Waye Ombuds: (08:38) I must leave the call... have a nice weekend everyone
Fiona Asonga: (08:39) Thanks Herb
Fiona Asonga: (08:40) I am in agreement with your proposed approach Julie
Fiona Asonga: (08:40) What doe Sabastein and Dalila think
Lito Ibarra: (08:40) I also agree with Julie
Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (08:42) maybe the text could bring in this idea of independent assessment
