Re: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] FOR REVIEW: Suspending a PDP--Proposed Revised
Footnote<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hi Anne,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Perhaps we could go back to an earlier suggestion of yours and amend the
footnote accordingly. That is, you suggested we could substitute
"subject to Board review" in place of "until further notice." However,
not all PDP suspensions may warrant a Board review because they may not be
PDPs that resulted from a Board request. So perhaps we could say,
"subject to review by the ICANN Board in those cases where they Board has
requested a PDP" or something like that.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It seems that change could address the issue that the Board should have
the opportunity to review a suspension on a PDP it has requested and could ask
for a specific report from the Council accordingly. Perhaps we don't
need to specify that the GNSO Council must provide a report, or the terms of a
report, but could leave it up to the Board as to what they would wish to
request.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'm not sure the change is minor enough to avoid a public comment
process, but that is for the SCI and the Council to decide.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Just a suggestion.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>With best regards,</DIV>

Re: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] FOR REVIEW: Suspending a PDP--Proposed Revised
Footnote<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Anne, reading your comments it seems that your concerns go beyond what
may happen in case of the suspension of a PDP and seems to deal more with what
procedures should be followed / in place to communicate with other entities
such the Board and the GAC on topics of common interest that may be the
subject of a PDP (whether initiated by the Board or not). As the SCI will be
tasked with reviewing the overall PDP in due time, maybe an alternative
approach would be to start collecting topics, like this one, that would feed
into the overall review of the GNSO PDP when the SCI decides to kick that off?
For example, the SCI could create a wiki page for this purpose where members
of the SCI, but also other community members could raise issues that they feel
would need to be considered as part of this overall review. Also, by pushing
this issue a bit further down the tracks, it is also likely that the SCI will
have some concrete data points by reviewing how this has been handled by the
GNSO Council as there are now two PDPs underway that have been requested by
the Board, in order to determine whether additional procedures or guidance is
required. This issue may benefit from a more holistic approach instead of
trying to shoehorn it into the issue of suspension of a PDP (which has been
clarified to mean for a defined time period following which it would continue
again). Just a suggestion.</DIV>

size=2 face=Arial>Thank you, Wolf. I am still trying to come up with
language that addresses this concern but that does not create a need for a new
public comment period. It almost sounds as though Marika was saying that
it is implicit that this decision is subject to Board review and
communication. If that is the case, I would propose we substitute
"subject to Board review" in place of "until further notice" in the
footnote. It does seem to me, however, that the whole issue of
organizational effectiveness is an appropriate topic for SCI. I noted
that in the GNSO agenda that was published, an issue was raised as to how to
respond to a GAC letter asking why the GNSO had initiated a PDP with respect
to a topic that the GAC viewed as simple to implement.

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=917291623-11122012><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2 face=Arial>It seems to me that if suspension occurs, the GNSO should be
required to provide a full report of positions and/or reasons
for suspension to the Board in the case where the Board has asked
for Answers or for an Issue Report that resulted in a GNSO PDP or initiated
the PDP itself pursuant to the ByLaws. The example Marika
gave was Vertical Integration. The discipline of preparing such a report
is that the issues and positions are clarifed for the Board and that allows
for them to move forward with a decision or else to decide to wait until the
suspension lifts. My own view is that suspension should not occur until
such a report is finalized. If factions within the PDP can't agree on the
content of such a final report, then more than one report could
issue.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2 face=Arial>I think SCI has an opportunity here to help encourage
effective organizational behavior among the Board, the GAC, and the GNSO so
that deadlocks do not occur. I know there is history with respect
to the termination of a WhoIs PDP back in 2007. I also know there is
pressure on ICANN to work effectively from outside organizations that may want
control of the Internet. It seems to me that SCI should not be saying
"What the Board does when the GNSO suspends is none of our business."
Our business is to evaluate and recommend Improvements to the process when
asked to do so. </FONT></SPAN></DIV></SPAN></DIV>

Footnote<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Alain,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>One consideration is that if we add that language it is a substantive
change from the original footnote text. The previous suggestion — adding
the word "stated" and deleting "until further notice" --- was deemed by the
SCI to be a minor clarification and thus didn't require us to open a Public
Comment Forum on new language. As discussed during last Thursday's
meeting, any substantive change to the text that was presented in the public
comment period that just ended on 03 December would require that the revised
text go out for public comment again at a minimum of 21 days. Staff
pointed out that with the holiday we would probably need a longer period,
perhaps 30 days.</DIV>

PDP--Proposed Revised Footnote<BR>><BR>> Anne, Staff typically
provides the Board with status updates on issues<BR>> that are of
significant interest to the Board, but there are also<BR>> examples of
direct communication between the GNSO Council and the<BR>> Board after
the GNSO Council decided to terminate a PDP that had been<BR>> initiated
to provide input to the ICANN Board (see for example the Vertical
Integration PDP:<BR>> <A

target=_blank>http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg09754.html</A>).<BR>>
It is then up to the Board to decide how to proceed. For example, in<BR>>
the case of vertical integration, the Board made the following<BR>>
decision, absent GNSO Council recommendations:<BR>> <A

Hi,<BR>>>>><BR>>>>> I think the question of what the
Board would do if g-council ever<BR>>>>> suspended a PDP
that they mandated is an open question. I expect<BR>>>>>
they would either wait, question the postponement, or make
one<BR>>>>> their preemptory decisions.<BR>>>>>
Since the Board has never yet, to my knowledge, mandated a PDP
-<BR>>>>> though they can - I do not think it is a
critical issue at this<BR>>>>> point, and in any case
think it is a separate issue from the<BR>>>>> suspension
mechanism. All other PDPs are g-council decsions,
even<BR>>>>> if the issues report is requested by one of the
ACs.<BR>>>>><BR>>>>> I am fine with the
footnote. thanks.<BR>>>>><BR>>>>>

Betreff: RE: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] FOR REVIEW: Suspending
a<BR>>>>> PDP--Proposed Revised
Footnote<BR>>>>>><BR>>>>>> This makes sense.
Is it clear to everyone that if the ICANN Board<BR>>>>>
says,<BR>>>>> "Sorry, GNSO, we don't want you to suspend because
we need an<BR>>>>> answer<BR>>>>> - go back to
the drawing board," then that is what will
happen?<BR>>>>>><BR>>>>>> Deadlock is deadly
for ICANN. If GNSO can't work effectively and<BR>>>>>>
the<BR>>>>> Board has to act (pursuant to GAC Advice or
otherwise), then Fadi's<BR>>>>> "oasis"<BR>>>>>
announced in Dubai becomes more of a "quagmire" and
pressure<BR>>>>> increases to take control away from
ICANN.<BR>>>>>><BR>>>>>> I only raise this
because it seems to me the question will come up<BR>>>>>>

level.<BR>>>>>><BR>>>>>>

Termination of PDP prior to Final
Report<BR>>>>>><BR>>>>>> The GNSO Council may
terminate or suspend[1] a PDP prior to the<BR>>>>> publication
of a Final Report only for significant cause, upon a<BR>>>>>
motion that passes with a Supermajority Vote in favour
of<BR>>>>> termination orsuspension.<BR>>>>>
The<BR>>>>> following are illustrative examples of possible
reasons for a<BR>>>>> premature termination or suspension
of a PDP:<BR>>>>>><BR>>>>>> 1.
Deadlock. The PDP Team is hopelessly deadlocked and unable
to<BR>>>>> identify recommendations or statements that have
either the strong<BR>>>>> support or a consensus of its
members despite significant time and<BR>>>>> resources being
dedicated to the PDP;<BR>>>>>> 2.
Changing Circumstances. Events have occurred since the<BR>>>>>
initiation<BR>>>>> of the PDP that have rendered the PDP moot,
or no longer necessary;<BR>>>>> or warranting a
suspension; or<BR>>>>>> 3. Lack of Community
Volunteers. Despite several calls for<BR>>>>> participation, the
work of the PDP Team issignificantly impaired<BR>>>>> and unable
to effectively conclude its deliberations due to
lack<BR>>>>> of volunteer
participation.<BR>>>>>><BR>>>>>> If
there is no recommendation from the PDP Team for its<BR>>>>>>
termination,<BR>>>>> the<BR>>>>> Council is required
to conduct a public comment forum first prior<BR>>>>> to
conducting a vote on the termination of the PDP (as described
above).<BR>>>>>><BR>>>>>> [1] Suspension is a
STATED time interval during which there is a<BR>>>>>
temporary<BR>>>>> cessation of the PDP, i.e. all activities are
halted upon a<BR>>>>> decision of the GNSO Council until
furthernotice. A mere change in<BR>>>>> milestones or schedule
of the PDP is not considered a
suspension.<BR>>>>>><BR>>>>>> For more
