[CCWG-ACCT] [WP1] Updated Memo on Request on Sole Designator

[Schaefer, Brett]

Jordan,

I appreciate the explanation provided in the memo.

However, I note that the decision matrix remains unchanged in that it requires support from 4 SOs/ACs to exercise powers 1, 2, 5, and 7. The operating assumption is that GNSO, ccNSO, ASO, and ALAC will participate. I believe that they will, but it would be good to get confirmation even with the knowledge that such a statement should not be considered an endorsement of the CCWG proposal.

Also, as we discussed in the previous CCWG WP1 call, there is a possible complication if RSSAC, as expected, decides not to participate and GAC either (1) decides not to participate, (2) decides not to participate immediately, but announces its desire to be allowed participate at some future date, or (3) cannot reach a consensus position.

In that case, unanimous support by the 4 SOs/ACs assumed above to participate would be required in order to exercise powers 1,2, 5, and 7. I don’t think that unanimous support was supposed to be required for exercise of the community powers.

Until we have confirmation of which SOs and ACs (other than SSAC which has explicitly stated its intention not to participate) will be participating in the mechanism, we need to plan out possible scenarios. For this reason, I think we need to provide decision matrices based on varying levels of participation.  Is this being drafted?

Thanks,

Brett

Subject: Updated Memo on Request on Sole Designator

Dear Co-Chairs, Jordan and Staff,

Attached please find a substantially reorganized and revised memo on how  the Sole Designator would be made operational, to replace the memo that was sent to you last week.  The changes are largely in the nature of clarifications and we have addressed the point requested below as well.  We request that this memo be posted to replace the prior memo.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Holly and Rosemary
