<p>Thanks David,</p>
<p>I think the basic question here is which role and responsibility
the SICT shall be allowed to take. For me it is a small WG taking
some preparatory workload from the councils in order to put them
in a position to tke decisions.</p>
<p>Looking forward to hearing you in some minutes</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Heather and members of the GNSO
drafting team,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In preparing for the call tomorrow with the
ccNSO Guidelines Review Committee, I’d like to note my
suggestions on the questions we will be looking at tomorrow,
given my unique perspective as a member of both teams.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here are the questions, followed by my
recommendations in red-italics:<o:p></o:p></p>

We envision the creation of a GNSO-ccNSO Special IFR
Initiation Coordination Team (SICT) – see paragraph 5.2. We
say that as soon as the CSC informs the ccNSO and GNSO
Councils about a performance issue as defined in the CSC
Remedial Action Procedure, the two Councils shall as soon as
possible each appoint three (3) members including the Chairs
to the SICT. Well, these CSC procedures involve going first
to the PTI Board, then the ICANN CEO, and then to the ICANN
Board. The GRC wonders when specifically should the SICT be
established and they suggest that it not be until the ICANN
Board is engaged in the matter. (Note – The CSC will inform
the Councils of every escalation step in the RAP.)

</span></span><!--[endif]-->Question: Do we agree? What do
we think?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:red">It seems like
a sensible suggestion to me. The Board will take at
least a little time to react and with this joint
guideline the SICT ought to be able to get prepared. It
might make sense, however, for both Councils (when they
adopt this guideline) to create an annual reminder on
their agendas of what a SICT is and whom they might
consider as likely candidates should the need arise.
<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"
style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l2 level1
lfo1">
In reading through paragraph 5.3, the GRC was not quite sure
whether the respective Councils would have to make one joint
statement or two – and how the interplay takes place between
posting input on the various websites and jointly releasing
a statement through the SICT. <o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in"> a. Question:
Can we clarify how this process works?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">b. Related
question: Can we two groups jointly map out the timeline of
the SICT to test its viability? (For instance, we allow up to
30 days for input from SOs and ACs (see last sentence of
paragraph 4.4) and then perhaps allow for the time needed for
public comment – will these time periods work?)
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:red"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:red">Paragraph 5.3
currently says this in part: ‘</span></i></b><b><i><span
style="color:red">The GNSO and ccNSO shall jointly
release a statement through the SICT that they are
initiating a Joint Consultation</span> …’<o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:red"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:red">That sounds
to me as if there is just one statement and it comes
from SICT. Maybe SICT can sign off on such a statement
and then below its signature could be approval
signature-blocks for ccNSO and GNSO.
<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:red"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:red">On timing, I
think a ‘dry-run’-through makes good sense. But I also
suggest that we consider an overarching timing-paragraph
along these lines:<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><u><span style="color:red"><o:p><span
style="text-decoration:none"> </span></o:p></span></u></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><u><span style="color:red">Flexible
construction of time periods within this document</span></u><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><u><span style="color:red"><o:p><span
style="text-decoration:none"> </span></o:p></span></u></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><u><span style="color:red">Each time
period specified in this document within which any
decision or other action must be made shall be
understood as being a ‘not-greater-than’ time period,
it being understood that in all instances, as well as
cumulatively, the individual or group (e.g. Council
Chair or SICT) having to decide or act shall decide or
act so as to remain within the times specified under
the ICANN Bylaws(including the Annexes to such
Bylaws).
<o:p></o:p></span></u></i></b></p>

<li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"
style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l2 level1
lfo1">
For the work and deliberations involved in paragraphs 5.4
through 5.6 (this is a considerable amount of work) the
document places most of the onus on the SICT. THE GRC
wonders if this is too much to load onto the SICT and
whether some of this should be shifted to the respective
Councils – and what that balance would look like in a bit
more detail. Moreover, given the ramifications of the
decisions involved which decision should be on the plate of
the full Councils and which on the plate of the coordination
team?

level1 lfo3">
Question: What do we think? <o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:red">This also
seems sensible – and maybe a good division would be to
assign duties in 5.4 and 5.6 to SICT, and those in 5.5
to Councils.
<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:red"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></b></p>

<li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"
style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l2 level1
lfo1">
With respect to considerations of a Special IFR itself, the
GRC noted that other avenues exist through which to address
PTI issues – for instance (1) possible removal of
director(s) and (2) the ability to bring an IRP relating to
PTI service complaints and/or ICANN’s failure to enforce its
rights under the IANA Naming Functions Contract – and
mediation is also available. <o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="a">
<li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"
style="margin-left:.25in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l1
level1 lfo4">
Question: Should this document note the fact that Councils
will possibly be looking at alternative courses of action
and thus we should be careful to check on that possibility
to factor it into our calculations?<o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:red">This seems
wise, at least for the SICT (assume that Councils will
remain abreast of developments in other avenues) – maybe
a sentence at the end of section 5.2 along these lines:<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><u><span style="color:red"><o:p><span
style="text-decoration:none"> </span></o:p></span></u></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><u><span style="color:red">In
addition, the SICT shall take steps to remain informed
of developments at resolving the PTI Performance
Issue(s) by other means and shall consider such
developments as they may reasonably influence the work
of the SICT without jeopardizing the SICT’s ability to
remain within the timeline(s) specified by the Bylaws
(including Annexes to the Bylaws).
<o:p></o:p></span></u></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"
style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l2 level1
lfo1">
Finally, the document should perhaps make reference to
ongoing steps by CSC to resolve the issue. What happens if
the PTI/IANA issue is resolved along the way – should we
address closing down the SIFR and SICT. (Note – once the CSC
informs the Councils at the end of the RAP the role of the
CSC is very limited – see the RAP process [icann.org].)<o:p></o:p></li>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:red">This seems
sensible, but I would like to hear a bit more from Bart
about what this might look like.
