b) May 16

3. ASO Review Update

JC welcomed Tom McKenzie and Tim McGuiness, ITEMS consultant to the meeting.

TM delivered a report of the process and highlighted some of the aspects of the draft final ASO Review report.

PW considered that longstanding issues like the confusion of roles between ASO and NRO in the ICANN community should have more prevalence in the report against other short term issues like the recent changes in the ICANN bylaws related to the empowered communities. He also commented that the material on the Empowered Community could be separated more clearly, as this is a recent issue arising from the IANA transition, and distinct from other ASO-related issues.

McT said that the focus of the empowered community content in the report reflects the relevance given by the interviewers.

OR clarified that the review committee members in the case of LACNIC are not the same representatives of the ASO AC. OR asked that this text be corrected in the report. OR added that there was an inaccuracy in the role of the RIR boards and the appointed ASO AC members in the report.

McT acknowledged and thanked OR observations. McT said that one of the reasons to run a review with the NRO EC at this stage was to double check some of the facts in the report.

AB joined the meeting at 11:30 AM UTC

JC agreed with OR and PW and observed that the report doesn’t quite explain how the ASO AC is contributing to ICANN mission. JC said that he didn’t need a response now but wanted to share his points.

PW suggested to have more clarity on what is in the scope of the report.

JC agreed with PW. JC recognised that could be several different ways to collaborate with ICANN but he asked about the most effective ways of doing that.

TM said that one of the characteristics of the ASO review as SO inside ICANN was whether they are still relevant as part of ICANN structure. TM added that one of the statement in the review was that the ASO and ICANN should be careful in the admin overhead in their relationship.

JC thanked TM and McT.

TM thanked and welcomed all comments. TM assured those will be considered for the preparation of the public report to be presented in Johannesburg ICANN meeting.

JC asked all NRO EC members to send their comment by 21 June 2017 COB.

4. CCWG S2 Update

a) ASO Empowered Community Interim Procedures

JC reminded about the document drafted by the RIR legal team. JC said that the document needs to be fleshed out and synchronise with ICANN last developments with the empowered community procedures.

AF asked if the structure of the current document was good enough to proceed with the rest of the content.

AP said that the structure was useful and it was time to develop the procedures for each power.

JC agreed it was a good start and suggested to work in a format that could be formally adopted. JC suggested to start with the procedures to adopt bylaws changes as they might be need it first.

OR founded the structure and approach of the document appropriate. OR suggested the production of a diagram or flow chart explaining the decision-making process.

AF said that this can be produced.

JC asked OR if the charts are conditional for the adoption of the procedures.

OR said that the charts could be produced in a later stage after the adoption. OR said that the charts are more a tool to be used when need it.

JC reminded about Jason Schiller comments to the community consultation. JC said that is common in ICANN to label comments with the constituency of the contributor. JC suggested to clarified that Jason Schiller comments are personal and not linked with any position of the ASO AC or NRO EC

AF asked about the NRO EC position in the last outcome of the consultation on accountability and on the discussions on diversity.

JC said that according to the scope of the ASO in ICANN and our documents, only the NRO EC acts on behalf of the number community so no number community position should be taken without NRO EC review.

PW agreed.

JC asked AF to send the diversity information to the NRO EC mailing list.

JC reminded about IANA proposal on changes on the reserved status on AS registry. JC said that there were two proposed changes, one proposing to label unallocated space to be intended for allocation to the RIR and the second to change the reserved status to unallocated.

JC volunteered to draft a communication to IANA on this matter.

New Action Item 170620-03 JC to draft a message for the approval of the NRO EC regarding the change of status on the AS registry.

All agreed.
