[Internal-cg] Suspend ICG forum during public comment period?

Mon Aug 10 09:13:43 UTC 2015

I'm pretty neutral on this.  

Our forum is hardly heavily used and out of curiosity I tried to find it on our site - it is under the contact tab to post and, although the archive is indexed from the front page (Community Feedback Forum / Live Forum Archives), there isn't an obvious, "tell us what you think" link.

It is hardly a discussion forum and, as has been remarked, is hardly used.

I could argue that there is a need for a channel for non-proposal related topics, but these appear to be non-existent, so why would we see a sudden demand?  Anyone confused could end up posting in the wrong place, but as noted above they'd need to try really hard to do this.  So disabling the forum hardly seems to be an issue, although a mail-responder might be more transparent.

So if people really feel that it is an issue, I'll go either way.

+1 .. makes sense and it's good to redirect to the correct channel ..
I think we also need to announce this on the ICG website?

Kind Regards

Yes, I think that makes sense.

A notification could be published saying that we are now in the public comment period for the final proposal and comments should come in that way

+1 - makes sense to me to have a single comment “channel” active at a time.  Russ M

Per my exchange below with Olivier, do people think we should suspend the ICG forum during the public comment period so that we receive all comments through a single channel and they all get posted in one place to the public comment archive?

Hi Olivier,

The ICG forum has existed since shortly after the ICG was formed in 2014 and we have received a smattering of comments there over the course of the last year. The comments referenced below were received before the opening of the ICG public comment period. It is a good question whether we should at this point suspend the forum so that people are not confused about how to submit comments to us, as we have separate submission mechanisms for public comments about the transition proposal. I will raise this with the ICG.

Thanks,

Alissa

Dear Jonathan and Alissa,

I have a question about process here: how are the ICG and the CWG treating comments that fall outside a public consultation period? Are these receiving special treatment and if so, why? I note the CWG has just opened a public consultation period - should these comment have gone into the CWG consultation rather than using this seemingly special track?
Kindest regards,

Olivier

CWG,

The ICG has received the following from Richard Hill: <http://mm.ianacg.org/pipermail/icg-forum_ianacg.org/2015-June/000001.html> According to the process the ICG uses to handle forum comments <https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/Community-Comments-Handling-1May15-final.pdf>, the ICG assesses whether the comments are to be investigated by the operational community itself, and if we draw that conclusion we make the OC aware of the comment and ask whether the OC has any input. So we would appreciate input you may have no later than August 10.

The ICG has also reviewed these questions in light of the CWG charter and process, and we would be happy to send our thoughts if helpful to the CWG.

Thanks,

Alissa Cooper on behalf of the ICG
