Many thanks Mikey .. 

A couple of remarks: 

-          I think slide 6 is supposed to replace slide 5, right? i.e.
slide 5 will be deleted, right?

 

right - i just left it in so you would have something to compare my new
one to.

[MI]: Thanks .. Looks perfect to me .. you can kindly delete slide 5 on
our final version ..



-          I believe we should be adding the Wiki url, unless this is
going to be the one added to reference the charter

 

yep.  

[MI]: Great .. Thanks ..



-          Finally, on slide 6, I think the 2nd and 3rd bullets are
redundant .. I suggest keeping the 2nd and deleting the 3rd , don't know
what you and other colleagues think .. I think the GNSO and GAC
providing  feedback, implicitly means they approve the new version
reflecting such feedback .. 

 

ah!  another difference in the way we work.  in my working-group
experience the feedback goes back to the working group, they digest it
and produce a new draft for approval.  that's why i split the two.  i'm
learning a lot.  :-)

 

i'm fine either way.  

[MI]: I'm learning a lot too J .. but you have a point .. although we
don't have a similar formal way of approval, we can still propose 2
deadlines one for providing any comments, and in case of any, another
for final review after incorporating all the comments .. Does this sound
reasonable? We can discuss and finalize on our upcoming conference call
.. 

 

by the way, i've drafted a motion for the Council to approve the charter
in Singapore (i've attached it to this note) - our Council deadline for
motions is coming up tomorrow and i plan to submit it in time to get on
our agenda for Singapore.  it's easier to amend or pull a motion off our
agenda than it is to put one on.  so if there's "big change required"
feedback, i'll just pull it.  Amr, you want to be the seconder?  between
the two of us, we can handle any amendments that come up and Jonathan
can watch over both of us.


[MI]: Thanks for sharing .. 

 

And finally to answer your question "what's the goal for having the
charter approved by the GAC and the GNSO?" I personally believe that:

-          It's important to consult at each milestone, as indicated in
our charter

-          It's important to make sure both the GAC and the GNSO agree
to the problem definition, the described objectives and the expected
deliverables

-          Having everyone agree on each significant step means that
they will be ready to adopt our deliverables at the end (some sort of
early engagement ;) )

 

sorry - i worded that question really badly.  i was really just looking
for a target date for approval of the charter.  i think your goals are
fantastic, but all i was going for was something to replace my little
"??" in the target-date line on the slide.  

 

Not sure what my GAC colleagues think, but I don't think we will receive
the sought feedback/approval from the GAC at the meeting in Singapore,
that's why it was suggested to agree on a deadline ..

 

yep, that's where i was trying to go too.  sorry about that.


[MI]: Sorry to have misunderstood your question .. I believe there was
some suggestion to allow for 2 weeks after Singapore meeting but, I'm
sorry, I can't recall whose suggestion it was ..  On the call we can
agree on proposed dates from our side, one for comments (for example 2
weeks??) and one for review (maybe one more week??) ..



 

I hope I was able to address your points .. if not please let me know ..

 

yes - all good here.

[MI]: Great ..

 

thanks,

 

mikey

 

 

Kind Regards

hi all,

 

here's a next-version of the slides.  the big unanswered question that
we probably can take into the meeting in Singapore is "what's the goal
for having the charter approved by the GAC and the GNSO?"  we might want
to have a proposed answer to that question.  on the GNSO side, i bet we
could approve it in Singapore.  GAC folks?  what do you think?  too
fast?

 

anyway, here's the deck.  feel free to revise/comment.  Manal, i left
the slide you added in the deck, followed by my revised version in the
black font.  see if you like my version.

 

mikey
