[gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Revised SCI - PDP Manual

Tue Jun 4 22:21:12 UTC 2013

Anne and Ron,

As I mentioned in the chat room today, under the GNSO Improvements Process,
the PDP-WT (see https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoppsc/PDP-WT+Home),
as part of the Policy Process Steering Committee (PPSC), was tasked with
"reviewing the existing PDP in the Bylaws  and recommending changes to the
community and Council based on an open  community WG approach to the
deliberative process."  The WT produced a Final Report in September 2011 --
https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/9405500/PDP-WT+Updated+Fina
l+Report+-+FINAL+-+28+September+2011.pdf?version=2&modificationDate=13172015
88000 ‹ that included the PDP Manual.  The PDP Manual was adopted and is
incorporated into the GNSO Operating Procedures as Annex 2 of the
Procedures.  Under its original charter, the SCI "will  be responsible for
reviewing and assessing the effective functioning of  recommendations
provided by the Operational Steering Committee (OSC),  Policy Process
Steering Committee (PPSC) and Policy Development Process Work Team (PDP-WT)
and approved by the GNSO  Council."  As the PPSC and PDP-WT created the PDP
Manual, it would appear to be in scope for the SCI to consider requests for
changes to the PDP Manual along the lines stipulated in the Charter, as
follows:
* On request for those recommendations that have been identified to present
immediate problems 
* On a periodic timescale for all recommendations in order to identify
possible issues and/or improvements (subject to a clear definition by  the
SCI on which recommendations should be reviewed)
I hope this is helpful.

Best regards,

Julie

I have to admit, Anne, that this is something that I, too, am unfamiliar
with.  Perhaps Julie can assist us with some institutional memory?

Kind regards,

Could someone please clarify for me what we are supposed to do in evaluating
the effectiveness of the changes in By-Laws and Operating Procedures in
relation to adoption of the PDP Manual?  This strikes me as a very large
task that someone thinks is "in-scope" and could affect how we treat this
Charter issue.  Anne

Dear all,

I would welcome working through this document online to craft a revised
Charter that indeed reflects the current SCI mandate.

In that regard, I would also welcome a deeper discussion on the issue that
Mikey raised on the call, i.e., the substantive change from polishing
implementation issues from the last GNSO review versus continuing to do this
work on issues that arise within the Council or from Working Groups.

I understand from the BC and other constituencies, as well as from the GNSO
Chair, that there is an expectation that the SCI continue to serve but I
personally am agnostic.  Having said that, those of us who have been on the
SCI for some time will also recognize that we have been called on to deal
with more current issues than those that came from implementation.

Kind regards,

RA

Importance: High

Dear SCI members,

Attached is the SCI Charter as revised during the SCI meeting on 04 June
2013.  The changes from today's meeting were grammatical corrections in the
General and Working Method sections.  The other changes that are redlined
and the comments are those proposed by the SCI Charter Drafting Team, and
the inclusion of the Chair and Vice Chair election process as previous
discussed and agreed to by the SCI.

Please send any comments to the list and this item will be on the agenda for
the next SCI meeting that will be scheduled in July based on the Doodle
poll.

Best regards,

Julie
