RES: [council] Final Working Group Work Team Report & Motion

Tue Jan 11 14:12:17 UTC 2011

Jeff,

Excuse me, but I think that if there is a simpler way, it should be the
first one.

I tend to redirect the WG team to come up with the simpler version upfront
and not to accept a piece of work that would generate more work to the staff
afterwards – that’s rework.

Stephane,

I think you have some good points and I completely understand the notion of
having too much to read for what seems like fairly simple concepts.  The
PPSC did not discuss this issue and I am not sure to what extent the WG-WT
discussed.  

However, I believe that once the principles are approved by the Council,
that we (the Council) can direct the staff to draft up a shorter summary
(with encouragement to read the full report).  I suppose the PPSC could
review the summary to make sure it is in line with the final report.  We
could also when it comes time to approve the principles in our motion direct
that staff hold a short session at the start of every Working Group to
educate Working Group members on the basics for those interested.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,

Jeffrey J. Neuman

Hi Jeff,

Because these WG guidelines are intended for use by WG members (see 1.3) I
find it surprising that they would be expected to read a 35 page document in
order to get a grasp on the way ICANN recommends they should set-up and run
their WG.

I do not find it realistic to expect volunteer members of a WG, not all of
which would necessarily be very clued on up ICANN processes (nor should we
expect them to be if we are to encourage broader community participation),
to have to tackle such a report. As such, I fear that what we will end up
seeing happening is that people do not read these guidelines and do not
profit from them.

With regards to this, has the idea of producing a one-page summary of the
guidelines been discussed by the PPSC at all? The idea would be to have some
kind of WG guideline "primer" which could help people understand what is
expected of them as part of a GNSO WG.

Thanks,

Stéphane

All,

Please find enclosed the Final Working Group Work Team report as approved by
the Policy Process Steering Committee.   I am also attaching for the
Council’s review a redline of the report that compares the Final to the
Interim Report that came out prior to the Brussels meeting.  The changes
reflect public comments to the Interim report plus changes made as a result
of questions raised by the PPSC as addressed by the Working Group Work Team.
All of the constituencies/Stakeholder Groups represented on the PPSC
approved the final report with the exception of the Business Constituency,
who did not vote.   The ALAC representative, who does not officially get a
vote, also expressed his approval of the report.

A non-official informal poll was taken within the PPSC as to whether we
should recommend to the Council that it put the final report out for public
comment before review/approval given the changes that have been made since
the last time the report was out for comment.  The Registries, IPC and ISP
representatives believe the GNSO Council should place the report out for
comment; the Registrars did not think it was necessary, but did not object;
the BC did not vote; and the NCSG opposed making this recommendation to the
Council (believing that the Council should decide for itself what it wanted
to do).

The motion I present below acknowledges receipt of report and requests that
the report go out for comment (should the council elect to put it out for
comment).

I would be happy to answer any questions.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
