Re: [council] NCAs in the new GNSO Council structure

Hi,
being an NCA, I would like to add my thoughts in relation to our role in the new GNSO:

Could be a valid option, but one of the NCAs will be new in the council, so he could hardly figure out which role to select.
 
In my oppinon it brings no value in it.

  • Option c:  The council members decide with random selection of which House chooses first.

This is another version of the random selection.

  • Option d:  The two Houses collaborate and decide among them where the NCAs will be assigned.

This could be an option but perhaps it should add a possible refusal by the NCA, in the case that he/she is not in favour of serving one of the houses or becoming a homeless. What I want to say is that it sounds unfair just say where NCAs go and not having any feedback about their expectations.

  • Option e:  The new, inexperienced NCA rep assumes the non-voting Council seat and one of the above options is used to assign the two House seats.

It should not be for the two years, it takes out the stress to voting in the first meetings, where there is a lot to read and sometimes it is hard to decide.

The problem I see with this approach is that the fact of voting necesarily pushes towards understanding, reading, asking, which at the beginning is challenging and good for the future performance of the NCA in the council. If you are new and you do not have to vote, then you do not have that incentive and you may loose some momentum.

There is value in active participation without voting, so this option could be valid.
Regards to all.

Several have expressed views on this.  It would be helpful if we could have more list discussion about the various options and any others anyone proposes in the next week.  Our plan is to make a decision on this along with the plan for seating Councilors in Seoul on 24 September.  Please get input from the groups you represent.
 
Thanks, Chuck

Subject: [council] NCAs in the new GNSO Council structure

Hi,
as discussed yesterday in the conference call, and to start the discussion in our list, I am including possible options for assigning the role of the three NCAs in the new structure of the GNSO Council:

Option a:  The NCAs talk it through and figure out which roles seem right to them.

Option b:  Random selection.

Option c:  The council members decide with random selection of which House chooses first.

Option d:  The two Houses collaborate and decide among them where the NCAs will be assigned.

Option e:  The new, inexperienced NCA rep assumes the non-voting Council seat and one of the above options is used to assign the two House seats.

Option f:   The experienced NCA rep assumes the non-voting Coundil seat and one of the above options is used to assign the two House seats

Option g: (Combination of option a and d) The two Houses collaborate and decide among them where the NCAs will be assigned, with a refusal option by any of the NCAs.


Please iclude other options thay you may think of and share your comments about this in the list.

We should decide about this in our next GNSO conference call on 24 September.

Best regards
Olga
