<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Please find enclosed a request by the PDP
Work Team for a face to face meeting in January 2010 setting for the rationale
for needing such a working session. This draft was discussed by
the PDP Work Team. There was a consensus within the PDP WT for such a
face to face meeting for the reasons stated within the attached document and
should address some of the concerns that we have seen on the GNSO Council list
over the past several weeks. We offer no opinion in this document
on the general role of face to face meetings, the Council role in approving or
supporting those face to face meetings, etc., but rather focus on our specific
request.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>The request was sent to the full Policy
Process Steering Committee on December 5, 2009, and although no comments were
actually received from any person on the PPSC that was not already a member of
the PDP WT, there were some comments from the Noncommercial Stakeholder Group
with respect to who was eligible for funding from ICANN. The discussions
are archived on two lists (the PPSC list: <A
href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-ppsc/">http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-ppsc/</A>)
and the PDP-WT list (the PDP WT list - <A
href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-ppsc-pdp/">http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-ppsc-pdp/</A>).
It should be noted that the PPSC as a whole has been inactive since the
formation of the Work Teams early this year. In fact some members of the
PPSC listed at <A
href="https://st.icann.org/icann-ppsc/index.cgi?policy_process_steering_committee_ppsc">https://st.icann.org/icann-ppsc/index.cgi?policy_process_steering_committee_ppsc</A>,
may not be members of the Council or even active in the community.
<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>What follows is my brief summary of the
issues raised to the best of my knowledge. If I have misstated any of
the arguments, I apologize in advance, and would be happy to be
corrected. Essentially, the PDP WT is recommending that 1 person be
funded by ICANN staff from each constituency to attend the face to face.
The NCSG has argued that there should be the same number of representatives
from each of the Stakeholder groups, which would mean that if ICANN provides
funding for the three CSG constituencies to attend, then it should fund three
reps from the NCSG, RySG and RrSG to attend as well (as opposed to the
recommended 1 from the NCSG, RySG and RrSG). The argument is that we
have now reorganized into SGs and parity should be provided on an SG basis as
opposed to constituency basis, and that the NCSG believes that this policy
will exclude participation from the noncommercial users. It is important
to note that neither the Registries nor the Registrars have raised those
arguments nor do they agree with the NCSG view.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>ICANN staff has responded to the NCSG
stating that participation in the PDP WT has never been exclusionary and that
the Work Team has been open to anyone wanting to participate on-line, in
conference calls, etc. However, “enhancing participation on the WT does
not equate to getting funded to attend a particular F2F meeting. This WT has
always been open for anyone to participate and any group to be represented.
Every effort has been made to try to get input and participation from all
Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups, including by setting up surveys and
requesting input on documents and discussions. It is troubling to see that
only funded travel seems to drive a sudden need for 'adequate representation'
while this interest level seems to have been missing when it came to
participation in the WT's previous 20 calls and 3 surveys. This F2F
meeting is actually about genuine participation and about bringing the
discussions of those 20 calls and 3 surveys together into conclusions so the
public, the PPSC and the GNSO have a concrete initial draft to
consider.”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>As Chair of the PDP WT, my personal view,
for what it is worth, is more in line with ICANN staff’s view. I believe
it is not the quantity of persons funded to attend the face to face that
should matter, but rather the quality. I need to do my job to make sure
all view points are heard, discussed, and addressed whether it is one person
making the argument or three. The fact is that we have not had three
reps from the NCSG participate on a regular basis in the WT and to have three
reps for the sake of having an equal number of representatives to me does not
make sense. My view is that the most important reason for requesting
this face to face meeting is to make progress on the work of the WT. To
introduce new players into the process now, after a year’s worth of calls,
meetings, surveys, reports, etc. at a face to face meeting for the first time
may not be lend itself to a productive meeting. On the other hand, if
the ICANN staff and/or Council do decide that it is in the best interest of
the Internet Community to allow all SGs (including Registries and Registrars
by the way) to have 3 reps funded, then we will need to ensure that those
participants are up to speed on the work, have read all of the materials, and
that we do not recover old ground.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Please let me know if you have any
