[council] An item to be added to the next NCtelecon - liaison co-chair for WG-B

[Elisabeth Porteneuve <Elisabeth.Porteneuve@cetp.ipsl.fr>]

Council,

I receive a request from the WG-B working co-chair, Michael D. Palage,
concerning the liaison co-chair for WG-B.

Whereas on October 27th telecon the NC clarified the role 
of WG's co-chairs and renamed the "NC co-chair" to "liaison co-chair",
the WG-B is still missing the "liaison".

  9. Relationship with Working Groups and Commitees.

     It is expected that during the LA NC Working Groups and Commitees will
     provide updates by co-chairs.

     The issue is raised what to do if the Working Group Chair resign (like
     in case of the WG-B, Jonathan Cohen was elected to the ICANN Board).
     There were no procedures when the WGs started. The WG-B feels that if a
     new co-chair arrives from the NC, it will be a takeover by the NC.

     The co-chair from the NC is to act as part of a bootstrap process,
     assuming the responsability of the NC, and act as a liaison between the
     NC and the Working Group. The elected co-chair continues to be
     responsible for the substantive work. It is proposed to therefore
     rename the NC co-chair "liaison" in order to prevent any confusion. It
     is also proposed to look at the whole process with the Working Groups
     on "procedures" meeting on Monday.
