style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:black'>Mary and Marika, I
think this discussion points out why more thought is needed in this process. To
go back to the question I had raised, there is a basic problem of the Board
being put in an unworkable position if it does not get answers from the GNSO. A
statement of why the PDP is being suspended is not in fact the same as a
summary of where the working group finds itself at the time of suspension, the
different viewpoints that exist at that time, etc. I believe that there is a
lot at stake if ICANN is unable to effectively address GAC advice in particular
with timely policy input from the GNSO. There can be many possible reasons for
suspension, but a written report of the status should be required at suspension
or the GNSO may simply leave the Board (and sometimes the GAC) in limbo. If and
when that happens, it provides support for the arguments of those who would
vest more control in individual governments.<br>
<br>
I am honestly beginning to think that the real "bandaid" in this
scenario is a suspension provision that is codified in the PDP manual (part of
GNSO Operating procedures) without adequate analysis of the consequences.
Perhaps a perceived need to codify this should be part of the process that
Marika has mentioned when the SCI looks at the entire PDP process in one year.
Apparently suspension was not addressed in the PDP working group so maybe we
should not be trying to do the job for them. Suspension is not merely a minor
subset of termination which has no consequences on policy or organizational
effectiveness. <br>
<br>
In terms of consensus process, I have shared my concerns with IPC leadership
over the past ten days and am awaiting their further direction. This is one
reason that I say a "negative response" mechanism does not meet the
full consensus process. There are also problems with this approach in terms of
system downtime, travel, and time zones such as Mary is facing right now.<br>
<br>
By the way, I should also mention that the version of the December 6 transcript
that was posted right after that meeting contained a number of inaccuracies.
For example, it credits Marika with saying that it is more important to get it
right than it is to be concerned that this has been out for public comment. I
doubt she wants to be credited with that statement. There were also
inaccuracies in the transcript of what I said. To the extent that GNSO
councilors may have viewed the written transcript to inform themselves on the
issue, there could be some misunderstandings.<br>
I am headed to the Prioritization Draw today and have some other deadlines. I
will check back into this list tomorrow. Again, I am awaiting further direction
from IPC leadership with respect to this matter.<br>
Thank you,<br>
Anne<br>

report" conveys more than I'd intended to suggest in supporting the
concept. What I had in mind was simply a statement from the Council when voting
to suspend a PDP, giving its reasons for so doing. The intention was to so
notify the community - incuding the ICANN Board in cases of Board-directed PDPs
- that such an action had been taken. As such, and instead of using the term
"interim status report" we could just say "a statement of
reasons" from the GNSO Council. </span></font><font size=2 color=black

pointing out that for every PDP as well as non-PDP, there are regular status
updates already provided. For example, the GNSO project list which is updated
on a monthly basis (see <a
href="http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/pending-projects-list.pdf">http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/pending-projects-list.pdf</a>).
Also, each project has their own page on the GNSO web-site which is updated
with every milestone activity (see <a
href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/active-groups.htm">http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/active-groups.htm</a>).
In addition, each resolution that is adopted by the GNSO Council contains the
rationale for that decision in the 'whereas' clauses (see <a
href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/resolutions">http://gnso.icann.org/en/resolutions</a>).

that an 'interim status report' is currently not defined in the PDP Manual
(what would need to be in there, who is responsible for preparing it, would
it need to be adopted by a vote of the GNSO Council?). Furthermore, in
addition to the Board, ICANN Advisory Committees can also request Issue
Reports, but they have not been considered in this conversation. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

(if/when/how should PDP status updates be provided to entities other than the
GNSO Council during the lifespan of a PDP, taking into account all the
different communication tools already in place) as part of the overall review
of the PDP, instead of applying a bandaid here to a wound that has not even
manifested itself. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

that at this point we were not limiting the interim status report to any
"Board-directed PDP". I think the simplest add would be to require
an interim status report to the GNSO Council, e.g. "all activities
(other than an interim status report to the Council) will halt." Then
SCI could recommend that the interim status report be published to the entire
community. Anne<br>

to the community by the GNSO Council upon its suspension of a PDP; however,
I'd like to separate out our actual recommendation (which is to clarify what
and when there is considered to be a suspension of a PDP) with our opinion as
to either the GNSO Council's relationship with/reaction to Board-directed PDPs
or as to appropriate action by the Council in voting for a suspension.<br>
<br>
I'd therefore suggest a slight modification to our Option 3 - take the
language/mention of an interim report out of the sentence containing our
recommendation, and either add a new sentence following that, or create an
additional, related recommendation, stating that "The SCI recommends
that, in cases of suspension of a Board-directed PDP, the GNSO Council issues
an interim report stating the reasons for such suspension to the community."
Or something along those lines.<br>

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
