resulted in the two work tracks (1) A documented process (table, flow
chart, …etc.) for ongoing smooth and timely information exchange
between the GAC and the GNSO organizations (GNSO Liaison to the GAC ,
permanent liaison/consultative group, … etc.) 2) An agreed
documented process (table, flow chart, … etc.) for ongoing smooth
early engagement of GAC in GNSO PDP projects; along with an agreed
documented procedure to be followed where GAC early input is in conflict
with a GNSO proposal and a mutual agreement could not be reached<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:
auto;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo2'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:
"Calibri","sans-serif"'>PDP Work Track: little progress has been made, but
also noting the link between the other track. Some work has been done on
possible early engagement opportunities in the PDP, but further
discussions / input are needed. Commitment would be needed from both sides
to make possible changes work, but would ideally be light touches to the
process. May be time to put to the GAC the quick look mechanism approach -
the earlier the GAC has an opportunity to express its view or indicate its
interest to be engaged, the better. Suggestion for GAC members to consider
putting together proposal for Quick Look Mechanism for GAC consideration -
timing will be crucial as information would need to be provided prior to
GAC meetings so that quick look mechanism could be employed and feedback
could possibly be provided via GNSO liaison. Outcome of quick look
mechanism could also be recorded as part of the GAC communique. What
happens if PDP work advances to next stage before GAC is able to provide
input - is that an issue or can it be taken into account as part of a next
phase? Initial idea of quick look mechanism is to provide an indication
during the Issue Report phase of whether there are public policy
implications, not necessarily substantive input which will be more
important when the GNSO PDP WG commences its deliberations and as such may
not take as much time as the preparation of substantive input which
ideally would contain detail as well as rationale. Alternatively, if more
time is needed, GAC could already be informed immediately following the
request for an Issue Report, instead of once the Preliminary Issue Report
is posted for public comment. Quick look mechanism could potentially be
developed intersessional but without being binding but providing important
guidance to both the GNSO and the GAC. Decision on outcome of a quick look
mechanism check probably will need to be made during an ICANN meeting, may
not be possible intersessionally. If the decision is that there are likely
public policy implications, this could trigger the formation of a GAC
committee to develop substantive input to provide input by the time the
PDP WG is formed. Preliminary Issue Report may not be necessary for
trigger quick look mechanism, possibly a short description (1-2 pages) of
the issue could be sufficient for the GAC to consider the issue (noted
that GAC could always revise its view based on additional information
coming available). <o:p></o:p></span></li>
