[Gnso-newgtld-dg] Agenda for First Meeting of the DiscussionGroup for New gTLD Subsequent Rounds

Thu Aug 7 20:06:45 UTC 2014

Can I humbly suggest that I am elected the leader and in a very like ICANN manner be compensated at the very reasonable rate of $.05 per domain registration.

Very truly yours,

Following my suggestion of having 2 leadership positions (whether is chair/vice-chair, co-chairs etc.), I think it would be good to have one from each house (contracted parties and non-contracted parties).

That is to say, they should neither be applicants nor new registries.  Within the long list of members, I am sure that we can select those that have no horses in the race, as they say.  In this way both the work and the optics will demonstrate transparency and accountability in an appropriate manner.

>>

>> Applicability of ICANN principles of transparency and openness
>>  
>> Items for initial review -  GNSO Resolution forming this group, GNSO Working Group Guidelines, GNSO Policy Development Process (to serve as a reference point for the DG)
>>  
>> Discussion of Work Plan – Review of Interim Chair's Draft Work Plan and discussion of alternatives and tools for completing work
>>  
>> Election of DG Leaders – The DG may elect to have co-chairs or vice-chairs. Once selected, the DG Chair(s) will need to be confirmed by the GNSO Council.
>>  
>>  
>> May I suggest that no attempt to see vice-chairs as representation of that constituency in the group ? It's so much simpler to have 2 (either chair/vice-chair, co-chair/co-chair, chair/alternate chair) leaders instead of a complex structure... since *-chairs only have coordination but no definition role, it's of no use to see too much into the roles.
