[governance] [bestbits] HLLM in LOndon - CS reps

[Marilia Maciel]

Milton is right about the (lack of) process. On the one hand, it is
positive that we have someone we trust there. On the other hand, it does
seem that they are including who they want and how they want, totally
disregarding the serious process we have been conducting to appoint names.

I think that a letter signed by all organizations that participated in the
nomination process should be sent to ICANN and ideally read during the
meeting, expressing our frustration and adding some concrete suggestions. I
come back to the points I made earlier:
- the agenda of the HL panel meetings should be publicized in advance
- channels to receive inputs (procedural or substantive) should be created
or clarified
- their meetings should be open to observers (like the meetings of the CSTD
ECWG)
- Reports of the meetings should be published. They could follow Chatam
House rules
And
- CS representatives (names), who were appointed following an internal and
legitimate process carried out by CS, should be immediately included in the
HL panel to ensure minimum CS representation.
