<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Recuerdo a los colegas que hubo otra modificación de local para el último evento de ICANN este año. Así que va a ser en India, Hyderabad en sustitución a Puerto Rico.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Américas por lo tanto salieran de escena este año.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">A mi ver, todo el proceso de rotación donde los meetings son alocados debe ser revisado; porque además del salto de las Americas este año, también hay la cuestión del modelo
B, que en principio debe focar en <i>outreach</i> + políticas de ICANN, y fue pensado para ocurrir en países pequeños y en desarrollo.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Vemos esta año Panamá fue sustituido por Finlandia, porque de ultima hora, aunque pequeña esta muy lejos de ser un país en desarrollo , pierde así la oportunidad de hacer
<i>outreach</i> efectivo en otro local en desarrollo. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span></span><![endif]>Enhancing Openness and Transparency – Board Deliberations<o:p></o:p></h4>
<p style="margin-left:94.5pt">Whereas, the Board believes that providing increased access to Board deliberations is important, and that increased openness is an important means of working toward that goal.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:94.5pt">Whereas, the ICANN Board discussed at its Amsterdam workshop how to improve its functioning and agreed that enhancing the visibility into the Board deliberations and decision-making processes was an important part of becoming more
accountable and more transparent.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:94.5pt">Whereas, the Board noted the call from the community for increased openness and transparency.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:94.5pt">Whereas, the Board believes that a positive first step towards increased openness is publicly posting transcripts and/or recordings of its deliberative sessions to the extent that such information or dialogue is not subject to
confidentiality restrictions or privilege.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:94.5pt">Resolved (2016.05.15.13), the Board directs the President and CEO, or his designee(s), to work with the Board to develop a proposed plan for the publication of transcripts and/or recordings of Board deliberative sessions, with
such plan to include an assessment of possible resources costs and fiscal impact, and draft processes to: (i) ensure the accuracy of the transcript; and (ii) for redaction of portions of the transcript that should be maintained as confidential or privileged.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:94.5pt">Resolved (2016.05.15.14), the Board expects to evaluate the plan in Helsinki, and if satisfactory to begin testing of the proposed processes relating to publication of transcripts and/or recordings of the Board's deliberative sessions
as soon as practicable after Helsinki.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h4 style="margin-left:94.5pt"><a name="m_3914044953361517972_2.f.i.rationale"></a><em>Rationale for Resolution 2016.05.15.13 – 2016.05.15.14</em><o:p></o:p></h4>
<p style="margin-left:94.5pt">In support of the continued call for visibility into Board deliberations and processes, the Board has determined to make available transcripts or recordings, where appropriate, of the Board's deliberative sessions. This effort
to enhance openness is likely to also support the ICANN community in enhancing ICANN's accountability, as it will reduce questions of how and why the Board reaches its decisions. This decision also directly supports ICANN's previous efforts and the continued
goal of operating as openly and transparently in its decision-making. ICANN is also acting consistently with the ICANN's Bylaws, as set out in Article III, section 1 of the ICANN Bylaws, that, "ICANN and its constituent bodies shall operate to the maximum
extent feasible in an open and transparent manner and consistent with procedures designed to ensure fairness." (ICANN Bylaws at <a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en#III" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en
- III</a>.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:94.5pt">There will be issues before the Board for which confidentiality is still required, and that may require redaction of parts or withholding of full transcripts, and it is important that the community and the Board understand how
those decisions will be taken. To that end, the Board is directing the development of a plan, which would include proposed processes by which those redaction decisions for confidentiality and privilege are to be made. That plan should be developed as soon
as practicable, and should be ready for Board consideration during ICANN56 in Helsinki.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:94.5pt">This decision will not have any impact on the security, stability or resiliency of the DNS. Implementation of this decision may involve increased costs, including, risk and fiscal impact for ICANN.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:94.5pt">This is an organizational administrative function for which public comment is not required, but such input may be useful at a later point depending upon the plan.<o:p></o:p></p>
