[Gac-gnso-cg] Food for thought ..

[Manal Ismail]

Dear All ..

As agreed on our last call, we need to discuss the PDP track and the
remaining options of the day-to-day track in light of 2 recent
developments:

-          Having the GNSO liaison to the GAC onboard

-          Results of the GAC survey

I believe we concluded from the survey that the problem is not lack of
information but too much information that is sometimes overlooked, not
properly channeled, streamlined and/or prioritized on the GAC agenda ..
Accordingly I believe our focus should be how to fully utilize existing
awareness mechanisms to ensure they achieve their full objectives ..
Such mechanisms are also the corner stone connecting both tracks
day-to-day and PDP.. Upon receipt those should trigger either:

-          Day-to-day cooperation on the topic under discussion, in
terms of: conf call, webinar, further email exchanges, including it on
the agenda of the following face-to-face meeting, etc ... or

-          PDP exchange in terms of: whether or not the GAC is
interested in the topic, whether or not the GAC intends to provide
input, etc ...

I assume those mechanisms are all listed in the survey, namely:

1.       Announcements from GNSO Secretariat

2.       Requests for input from GNSO PDP Working Groups

3.       Participation in GNSO Working Groups

4.       GAC Early Engagement Policy Documents (
https://gacweb.icann.org/dispaly/gacweb/GAC+Early+Engagement+Policy+Docu
ments) - monthly 

5.       GNSO Background Briefings (e.g. 
http://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/background-briefing-13mar14-en.p
df) - issued monthly?

6.       Policy Update (
https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/update-2014-02-20-en) - monthly 

7.       Policy Update Webinar (takes place prior to every ICANN
meeting) - 3 times/year

I believe the last 2 cover more than just the GNSO .. So maybe we should
focus our discussions on the first 5 above noting their frequency,
chronological order if applicable, receiving party, etc ... .. 

I wonder whether any of the above mechanisms is relevant and can be
highlight on the 'Issue Scoping' flow chart (attached).. 

 

I have provided some comments on the day-to-day document (also attached
marked in track changes) .. 

 

Appreciate your thoughts in preparation for our upcoming call ..

 

I have to admit that I did not have the chance to discuss with Jonathan
in advance, and have sent directly to the group for the sake of time as
we will be having our call shortly after the weekend .. 

So Jonathan, please provide your views freely whether with or against J
.. 

 

Kind Regards

--Manal
