[DC] DCCG Meeting #97 transcript and next steps

[Markus Kummer]

Dear all,

Many thanks Roman for sending out the action items,
 
I have already responded to Amali on her response as regards item 1 on your list.

In brief, what we are looking for is  information on the DCs internal governance frameworks as an input into the webinar planned by the IGF strategy group. This issue has been addressed by the paper I mentioned in my previous email. The short version signals two issues to be explored (p 4):

Recommend hat the DCs develop written governance frameworks
Declop a blueprint for DC governance frameworks to serve as a source of inspiration for DCs that want to develop such frameworks

At this stage, it would be premature to recommend either option. We therefore thought it would be best to gather information. Some DCs might have a written charter on their internal governance - if so, please share it with the DCCG list! Others, and I presume the majority, might follow unwritten rules, based on mutual trust. If this is the case, could you kindly sue up the basic principles of your internal governance in a few bullet points (as we have the Three =s for the DCs: Open Membership, Open Mailing Lists and Open archives).

In any case, beyond this webinar it will be a useful starting point into further discussions on governance frameworks.

Many thanks in advance

Best,
Markus
