<div dir="ltr">Hi all<div><br></div><div>Just a couple of general comments.</div><div><br></div><div>On the timeframe concern, I think we face a hard juggle to keep the times reasonably tight on the one hand (so things don't drag where a power should be used), and making sure the powers are actually workable.</div><div><br></div><div>If we have to lengthen the times for any steps I think we should look for ways to not see the total timeframe to use a power blow out.</div><div><br></div><div>My primary proposal to achieve that is to merge the petitioning and conference call steps. I wasn't able to be part of the discussion about the escalation process in Dublin because I was detained on other small groups, but I never supported adding another step to our quite clean "Petition, Forum, Decision" model from the second draft.</div><div><br></div><div>So if we were to go ahead in this way, an SO or AC would decide to petition to use the power. If that petition was successful, according to its own rules, a Community Forum would be organised.</div><div><br></div><div>I think we are clearer than we were at one point that the Community Forum isn't a chance for travelling and getting together in person: it's an online Adobe meeting, which is highly unlikely ever to take one day or two. </div><div><br></div><div>In other words, having both a Conference Call and a Community Forum essentially duplicates the same thing, with no benefit that is entirely obvious.</div><div><br></div><div>Merging the two steps will help avoid a time frame blowout.</div><div><br></div><div>I can't recall whether or not we had said more than one SO or AC needed to petition to use a power but we could use the same threshold as required to hold a Forum, in merging the steps.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>On changing the #s to %s in the decision table, I don't know how workable this is - it risks unintentionally creating too-high thresholds or too-low ones, given the low number of SOs and ACs involved. I think I would prefer to stick with numbers, and adjusting them should the numbers of SOs or ACs change in future, but don't have a strong view about that.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>cheers</div><div>Jordan</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 6 January 2016 at 15:55, Alice Jansen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:alice.jansen@icann.org" target="_blank">alice.jansen@icann.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
