[Gnso-bylaws-dt] PLEASE READ: URGENT NEXT STEPS to finalising our work

[Heather Forrest]

Dear DT colleagues,



We have reached the end of our work plan! There are 2 things immediately
left to do (we'll circle back to clean up the last item, the Joint
Consultation Guidelines with ccNSO, once our looming deadline to Council is
met). To meet Council's document deadline, both tasks must be done before
Monday, 14 October:



*FIRST: FINALIZE 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 - TO COMPLETE BY THIS SUNDAY, 6 OCTOBER* in
your time zone: Ariel has worked diligently to clean up these documents
following our call, and I have reviewed her edits and tinkered a bit
further. Please can all DT members review these, with particular attention
to:

   - 3.2 - the revisions to 4.2.3 (*SO/AC Director Removal Petition Review
   and Certification of Completeness*): Ariel has tidied up, and you will
   see I have also further added the words 'Certification of Completeness' in
   the heading of this section and some plain-English introductory words in
   the introduction at the bottom of page 1 to more clearly distinguish
   between Certification of Completeness by Council leadership;  Acceptance of
   the Petition by Vote of Relevant House; and Approval of Petition by entire
   Council. The same language has been ported to 2.2/2.3, 3.1, and 3.3 as
   well.
   - 3.3 - the revisions to  4.2.4 (*GNSO Community Feedback on Certified
   Board Recall Petition) *to address David's comment to specify the help
   from staff to compile, and if time permits, summarise, any comments
   received through Community Feedback. The same language has been ported
   to other relevant sections in 1.3/1.4, 2.2/2.3, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 (as noted
   in Ariel’s response to David).

*SECOND: REVIEW OF FULL PACKAGE - TO COMPLETE BY NEXT FRIDAY, 11 OCTOBER* in
your time zone: Ariel has added a table at the top of our work plan to set
out each Guideline/Template we have developed. WORKPLAN found here (
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yeydtqli8UWOrrvChIf9EMprGxo0pOr5lcadM-n0PnY/edit?usp=sharing).
I have randomly nominated an active DT member to each Guideline. If you are
completely dissatisfied with your allocated document, please convince
another DT member to swap with you (bear with me please, as we don't have
too much time to rock-paper-scissors over who gets what). I'm happy to take
on 2 reviews to complete the list unless a DT member who was not allocated
a doc wants to take on a review. Starting from next Monday morning, 7
October (please wait until Monday morning so Julie, Ariel and I can ensure
that 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 are ready and port any relevant changes across to the
other docs) please review your allocated document next week. When your
review is complete, indicate so in the workplan table by typing 'yes' or
'complete' into the relevant box in the chart. Ariel has diligently ported
backwards to earlier documents our learnings and decisions from the more
recent documents, but we're all more experienced now, and this final review
may catch further things we didn't think about earlier in the year. If you
find any issues of concern in your review, please raise them ASAP on the DT
list, making very clear which document you're referring to and what the
problem is.

Very best wishes to all,


Heather
