<DIV><FONT size=2>Bruce and Council,<BR>I wonder if its worth raising the nature
of the PDP staff report and the input.<BR><BR>With respect to the registry
services issue, Barbara Rosen has requested constituency input before writing a
report. This may be a good idea - there is little guidance as how these
reports are best done. We only have the "way according to Touton" to
date.<BR><BR>A staff report has five key objectives:<BR><FONT color=#0000ff>a.
The proposed issue raised for consideration;<BR>b. The identity of the party
submitting the issue;<BR>c. How that party is affected by the issue;<BR>d.
Support for the issue to initiate the PDP;<BR>e. A recommendation from the Staff
Manager as to whether the Council should initiate the PDP for this
issue.</FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff>
<DIV><BR></FONT>It is in response to objective c), that we are being asked how
each constituency is affected wrt registry services. But in general is this what
we want out of <STRONG><U>this stage</U></STRONG> of the PDP? If you ask me the
PDP wording is bizarre. Suppose the Board raised the issue. The Board is then
the "party". And c) tells us the report should say how the Board is
affected.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lets discuss this. My instinct is to keep the process streamlined and
short. Consultation before the staff report goes against that time
objective. Comments?</DIV>
