my wife for a medical procedure.

>>
>> *WP1 recommends to the CCWG that each SO or AC should come to a decision
>> by means of its own processes, and that "split" decisions or delegating
>> decisions to sub-units will not be available.*
>>
>>
>>    b) Participating SOs and ACs
>>
>> *WP1 recommends to the CCWG that decision rights for the exercise of
>> community powers be granted to the GNSO, ccNSO, ASO, ALAC and GAC. SSAC and
>> RSSAC will be able to advise the other SOs or ACs through the Community
>> Forum. Each SO or AC has the right to participate or not participate in any
>> decision, with their choice not affecting the thresholds established for
>> the exercise of community powers.*
>>
>>
>>    c) Distribution of decision making between SOs and ACs
>>
>> *WP1 recommends to the CCWG that each of the five SOs and ACs with
>> decision rights have an equality of voice/influence in decisions to
>> exercise community powers.*
>>
>>
>>    d) Decision thresholds in the community mechanism
>>
>> *WP1 recommends to the CCWG that the levels of agreement among SOs and
>> ACs in support of exercising a power, and the limits to levels of
>> opposition, be agreed as those set out in the paper from Steve DelBianco
>> updated by Jordan Carter and discussed at this meeting.*
>>
>>
>> *3. The "Resolution / Dialogue" Step in the escalation path*
>>
>> To the best of my knowledge the WP1 hasn't discussed the escalation path
>> as a group. I have some specific concerns about the appropriateness of a
>> "resolution/dialogue" step in exercising some of the powers - removal of
>> individual directors, and the standard and fundamental bylaws.
>>
>> In those powers I think adding this step simply slows down what needs to
>> happen - for individual director removal it's the SO and ACs decision and
>> the chances of it coming out of the blue are low.
>>
>> For the bylaws powers, the appropriate step once the community has not
>> adopted or blocked a bylaws change is a resolution process that leads to a
>> new proposed bylaws change. With public comment etc. That's what would
>> happen today, and that's the right resolution -- not some kind of
>> negotiation.
>>
>>
>> For the remaining powers - say, rejection of a budget etc - this
>> resolution / dialogue might be useful. But we would have to specify WHO the
>> resolution or discussion was between. Is this simply handing a new role and
>> responsibility to the SO/AC leadership cadre?
>>
>> If not, to whom? Remember, our Community Forum and Community Mechanism
>> are not committees, have no representatives, and just act on the decisions
>> of the SOs and ACs.
>>
>>
>> *4. Budget Power - Update from J Zuck (IF he is available)*
>>
>> *5. Update from ICANN Staff about what WP1 needs to do next*
>>
>> It would be great to hear from ICANN staff what they need for us to do as
>> WP1 to make the 15 November deadline.
>>
>>
>> *6. Any Other Business*
>>
>>
>>
>> *Papers*
>>
>> The papers mentioned above - from Steve/me, from Greg, from Robin, are
>> attached.
