[Gnso-bylaws-dt] REMINDER - ACTION ITEM re: Section 18.12 Special IFRs & GNSO Input Process

Fri Apr 26 01:57:58 UTC 2019

Sincere thanks to Julie and Ariel for their continued work to support our
DT.

On the Bylaws s 18.12 Special IFR initiation process, you'll see that Julie
and Ariel have dropped the GNSO GIP process into a Google Doc for us to
comment upon. I have added several comments after a thorough review. In
summary, I believe that with a degree of tweaking we can make the GIP
functional for the particular situation of Special IFR initiation without
having to invent a new, bespoke process. There are two ways to do this:

1. Develop a Special IFR GIP that uses the GIP text as a base, with some
modifications; or
2. Develop a 'GIP for Special IFR Initiation' guidance document for Council
that highlights only those changes made to the base GIP, without having to
set out the GIP in its entirety.

Based on my experience as Council Chair and Councillor, I am inclined
towards option 2. I take very seriously the points made by Steve about the
gravity of the situation of considering a Special IFR. I do believe that we
should not simply approach this by directing Council to "Apply the GIP, as
appropriate.", as I believe this leaves Council in the position of having
to do unnecessary work (read through the GIP and decide what works/what
doesn't, at a time when energy and time needs to be put into the substance
of deciding whether to initiate a Special IFR, rather than the process of
how to make that decision!). The alternative is to do this work in advance
for Council, by providing an instruction: "Apply the GIP, with the
following modifications to allow for the particular context, time
constraints and gravity of a Special IFR initiation.....". This is what my
notes in the margin of the Google Doc are aimed at, with the idea that
these notes could form a standalone document headed, for example: "Guidance
for using the GIP in the case of s 18.12(a) of the ICANN Bylaws".

I look forward to your thoughts and comments, either in the Google Doc
(here, with my comments added:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_y4Qm2TdV2g2JthY4PvXRTEFn6Froz5Jw-fxemUjiz4/edit)
or
during our next call (for which staff will circulate the agenda soon). We
have an excellent opportunity to interact directly with the ccNSO - staff
shall provide details - I encourage everyone to seize the opportunity so
that we can swiftly work out the requisite process for collaborating with
the ccNSO on the Special IFR situation.

Very best wishes to all,

Heather
