<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I have continuing concerns at the overall level (this does not describe a consensus process) and specifically as regards the view of the GNSO (the GNSO does not have a process for consensus decision making; the process fails to recognize that the GNSO is an organization for gTLD policy-making (and the GNSO Council is a policy management body), and that for any other purpose the groups participating in the GNSO represent discrete stakeholder communities). Nothing I've read or heard has resolved these concerns.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">However, whether we view this as a consensus process or a proto-voting process, I'm still grappling with the "weighting" issue (which in turn leads to the "fractional" or "splitting" issue).</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">In order to visualize the relative weights under 3 different scenarios, I prepared 3 pie charts, which I've put in the attached document. (Note that this reflects my concern that the stakeholder communities participating in the GNSO should be viewed separately for purposes other then gTLD policy-making. Note also that I've assumed that any "ccNSO" participation would need to take into account non-ccNSO ccTLDs, so I've reflected that in the pie chart labeling.) Apologies for some "rounding errors" (literally); but these do not affect the substance. Use these charts as you see fit.... I'm happy to revise, or prepare other charts, if need be.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Greg</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 1, 2015 at 6:10 PM, Robin Gross <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:robin@ipjustice.org" target="_blank">robin@ipjustice.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Resending as some had a problem reading the file. - Robin<div></div></div><br><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div></div></div><br><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div></div><div><br><div><div>On Oct 30, 2015, at 3:56 PM, Robin Gross wrote:</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Thanks, Steve. <div><br></div><div>All, attached is an exploration of the option to provide 4 units to ASO, CCNSO, and GNSO + 2 units to ALAC, as mirrored on the existing board structure.

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">Hi all
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our call is on Friday from 18h UTC, and may last up to two hours.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The proposed agenda items are as follows. <u style="font-weight:bold">PLEASE READ THIS AGENDA CAREFULLY</u> as it sets out how I propose we run the meeting and the questions I propose we aim to answer.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>1. Review of Agenda</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>2. Decision-making in the Community Mechanism</b></div>
<div><i>This agenda item should look at decision-making, and seeing where the WP sits with key issues raised in the "Dublin Approach".</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>To prepare for this item I suggest reading the following papers:</i></div>
<div><i>- Community Decision-Making: The Dublin Approach Working Paper</i></div>
<div><i>- Public Comment Analysis - Voting in the community mechanism</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>If you have time, also have a look at the staff analysis of public comments - the "Model" and "Voting-Forum" tabs in particular.</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>Papers attached or linked below. I have not updated the Dublin Approach paper, but kept the very valuable comments, and moved Robin's added issues into separate rows in the Issues Table.</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i><b>My suggestion is that we deal with the following specific questions</b>, as they are the key changes in the model compared with what we presented in the Second Draft Proposal. We should for each question identify whether we have a consensus on them
or whether we don't -- so we can advise the full CCWG of WP1's views.</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>a) Do we support the decision-making model (by consensus) replacing the voting approach?</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>b) Do we support only one view being expressed by each SO or AC?</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>c) Do we support an equal say for each participating SO or AC?</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>We also need to address the following:</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>d) In our Third Draft Proposal, which SOs and ACs do we propose should be participating? that is, do we respect the SSAC's desire not to, and do we take a view re RSSAC?</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>e) Based on our answer to d), do we need to make any changes to the numbers in the decision-making framework?</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i> </i></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>3. Other Work Required by WP1</b></div>
<div><i>I do not have a current list of work we need to do in the next fortnight but believe this will be clearer following next week's CCWG. I welcome staff or co-chairs' input on this at this point of the WP1 agenda, and of course suggestions from WP1 participants.</i></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>4. Any Other Business<br clear="all">
</b>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b><u>Papers</u></b></div>
<div><b><u><br>
</u></b></div>
<div>I attach PDFs of the Dublin Approach paper and of the Public Comment report section on voting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Dublin paper Google Doc is at: <<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zHZl_NvQ1WChatX8NT2Q1rQi4zQZgbrbAxrQSsH3tZQ/edit" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zHZl_NvQ1WChatX8NT2Q1rQi4zQZgbrbAxrQSsH3tZQ/edit</a>></div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>You may also find the staff analysis of Public Comments useful, which deals with voting specifically in a couple of the tabs (Model and Voting-Forum): <<a href="https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/54693137/PC2%20tool%20-%2024%20SeptBTv2.xlsx?version=1&modificationDate=1443208173000&api=v2" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/54693137/PC2%20tool%20-%2024%20SeptBTv2.xlsx?version=1&modificationDate=1443208173000&api=v2</a>></div>
