used after the next two RTs but if it is important for some to definitely revisit
it I can live with that. Whichever way we go, we will likely learn lessons
from our first three attempts at this. It is also possible that the RTs
will learn lessons that could result in changes to the process as well, in
which case we might want to revisit our process then anyway. When we look
at our endorsement process before the New gTLD RT, at least we won’t have
to start from scratch and we could even decide that the process worked well for
us so little else needs to be done.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I don't see why we need to define for every RT a new
process, it is quite weird to do that when in the same time we are trying to
handle with important time constraints all the ongoing PDP and it is
against any logic ( we can be flexible but there is time when we need a stable
solution IMHO). maybe the current process is not the best for some people but
changing it for each RT won't necessarily make it better. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>As I've said I don't particularly see limiting which
candidates we can talk about in which order as an improvement, but since the
point has elicited little comment here I'm guessing nobody else is too
concerned and I should let it go. And I like the addition of the Chuck
clause, "SG’s should only propose additional candidates that
are of a different geographical location or gender than their primary
candidate." But even so, before saying whether I accept the
amendment as friendly, I'd like to understand it, and would appreciate
clarification from CSG on the following two points:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>First, the amendment changes <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>* "the GNSO Council formed a drafting team"
to "the GNSO formed..." <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>* "GNSO Council endorsements" to "GNSO
endorsements" and<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>* "the GNSO Council desires to adopt the AOC-RR
Drafting Team proposed process" to "the GNSO desires.."<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>This I guess is consistent with Kristina's earlier comments
that Council " has been greatly restricted in the restructuring
and the initially proposed mechanism goes beyond that role," and that
"having a slightly more complicated process at the SG level is far
preferable to having the Council take on an SG role and make nominations
independent of the community." But per previous I don't quite get
the notion that elected representatives of SGs working together in Council are
somehow separate from and would be acting above/independent of SGs in voting on
endorsements. Does that only hold here, or is it true of any and all
Council decisions? If we adopt this language, are we collectively
establishing the premise that Council is not a representative body that can act
on behalf of its constituents? I'd think it important to be clear what
we're saying here. I understand CSG wants to talk about this Saturday in
the non-contracted house meeting, which will presumably help, but it seems like
a conversation for the wider Council and community too if for no other reason
than the Council (?) will have to vote on it.<br>

could be seen as lying outside these competences it is advisable to ascertain
the GNSO as a whole endorses the process. In other words: where the council
competences are not in question we won't have such a discussion. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Second, particularly as chair of the drafting team, I would
like to understand what is envisioned by striking "for all future AOC review
team selections" and limiting the mechanism to just the pending WHOIS
and SSR, since this is contrary to the prior mandate from, um, the Council.
Is the idea that the drafting team will become a permanent body and we
will have to reword things and adopt fresh processes and motions for each RT
cycle? How for example might future language be different from what we
have on the table now?<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:blue'>[WUK: ] There's no intention to permanently establish a
drafting team. But fixing the process "for all future AoC RT selections"
appeared too definitive with respect to a fast changing environment.
The amendment does not exclude the opportunity that all future AoC RTs would
follow this process.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
