major concern. We note that simply increasing the pool of people aware of and in some way engaged with ICANN should not be viewed as the goal. Ultimately what is needed is a larger and more diverse group of active and effective participants in PDP working
groups. Although outreach is an important part of the effort and crucial for bringing newcomers to ICANN, the path to this goal should not end at simply recruiting a large diverse group of people. Rather, there needs to be a clear and well-supported progression
for newcomers to gain the skills, knowledge and experience needed to broaden the ranks of active PDP participants and leaders.</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">”</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Hi,<br>
<br>
As a member of the ATRT2, I do not believe it my job to comment on our report.<br>
<br>
I think the GNSO response is fine as far as it goes and I am pleased that at least something is being submitted - though I must admit I am less than enthused about responses that essentially say "we are already doing that".<br>
<br>
I might have wished for it to be more supportive of other aspects of the report, but the response is what it is.<br>

The ATRT2 interacted with many in the community during the course of its<br>
work, including directly with the GNSO Council which was certainly<br>
appreciated. We now have an opportunity to comment on the final report.<br>
<br>
If we do intend to comment, my opinion is that we should at least submit<br>
an indication of intent, if not the primary comment, in the initial<br>
comment period and not wait for the reply period.<br>
<br>
Given the tight time frame, I have taken the unusual step of drafting a<br>
council response for your consideration. The ATRT2 deals with some<br>
critical areas of GNSO work and function and so it seems to me that we<br>
should respond to the call for comments, specifically in so far as the<br>
report deals with GNSO Policy and directly related areas.<br>
<br>
I am aware that some of you were on the ATRT2 and others actively worked<br>
on Council interaction with the ATRT2. Therefore, you may well have<br>
strong views on the subject matter.<br>
<br>
I look forward to your input and any suggestions.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Jonathan<o:p></o:p></p>
