<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">We will discuss this further on the call today, but to be clear, we are asking for a spokesperson/alternate from each Constituency or Stakeholder Group (In the case of the
GNSO), Supporting Organization (in the case of the ccNSO), and Advisory Committee (in the case of the GAC, ALAC, SSAC). If an Advisory Committee wants to further break down into regional organization that is fine as well. Cheryl and I are looking to understand
that when positions are taken on issues, recommendations, comments, etc., are those positions held by just the individuals taking those positions, or are they the positions of a Constituency, Stakeholder Group, Supporting Organization, Advisory Committee,
etc. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The Working Group Guidelines can be found
<a href="https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-18jun18-en.pdf">
here</a>. Based on Cheryl and I’s read of the Guidelines, it is our job as Co-Chairs to assess the level of Consensus of the Working Group (Section 3.6) . Although it talks about the taking of Polls (and how care should be taken if doing those), there is
little or no guidance on how the Co-Chairs make those calls and certainly nothing prohibiting us as Co-Chairs from trying to assess whether positions being taken are by a particular Constituency, Stakeholder Group, Supporting Organization, Advisory Committee,
etc. Section 2.2.1 of the Working Group Guidelines (as well as 3.2) also require the Chair (in our case Co-Chairs) to ensure that the Working Group is representative and in fact, Section 3.2 states “</span><b><i>Ideally, a Working Group should mirror the
diversity and representativeness of the community by having representatives from most, if not all, CO Stakeholder Groups and/or Constituencies.</i></b>” [<b><i>Emphasis Added</i>]</b><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Anne - Cheryl and I disagree with your view that merely asking for representatives from each group to help us ensure that we are capturing the views of each group in any way
run contrary to the Working Group Guidelines. In fact, we believe quite the opposite. Not only will it help us comply with 2.2.1 and 3.2 of the Guidelines, but it will also help us to understand the context in which certain statements or positions are taken.
In a month or so when we start reviewing the comments from the Initial Report, we are likely to have questions on the comments that are submitted. They may be clarification questions, or substantive questions. Some of the comments are likely to come from
the IPC, CBUC, ISPCP, CSG, RySG, RrSG, ALAC, GAC, ccNSO, SSAC, NCUC, NCSG, etc. Having a person that we can all turn to as a representative of that group to direct these questions will help us tremendously. If they don’t know an answer, we can look to them
to get the answer from the represented group as an action item. This is not “cutting corners” at all and makes good logical sense.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Of course, you are free to continue to disagree with this approach, but this is how we would like to move forward. I look forward to discussing further in a few hours on our
call. I have cc’d our GNSO Council Liaisons on this email. Although Cheryl and I have weekly meetings with them and we have kept them in the loop, they should weigh in if they disagree.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

is measured via designation of an individual representative from each Constituency. A version of that model was used (with voting attached) in the Accountability CCWG. I don’t think it should be imported into the PDP process “on the fly” without policy work
on the PDP process. If the Co-Chairs believe that measuring Consensus under current WG Guidelines is unwieldy, that is a subject for PDP 3.0.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Good evening: I have also been perplexed, and thinking along very similar lines to Jim Prendergast's post.<br>
<br>
I do not need to detail explicitly the diversity, even heterogeneity, of nearly all the SO/ACs, to suggest that the proposal would impose an impossible political burden on their leaderships, for which the SO/ACs have neither the time, the resources nor the
infrastructure to resolve at such short notice.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="ox-73e0d143b8-ox-12077a9602-msonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-73e0d143b8-ox-12077a9602-msonormal">Has this concept of designating representatives for SO/AC/SG/Cs been done in previous PDPs? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-73e0d143b8-ox-12077a9602-msonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-73e0d143b8-ox-12077a9602-msonormal">I looked at the charter for this PDP and did not see any reference to it so I presumed that I was always participating in my own capacity and not behalf of any SO/AC/SG/Cs. Now it seems like a new class of PDP
participant is being created. One that holds more sway than everyone else who has been participating for the last two years or so. Is that the intent? It would seem to me if this was the process that was going to be used, it should have been called out in
the charter. It certainly would have influenced how SO/AC/SG/Cs looked at this PDP from the start.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-73e0d143b8-ox-12077a9602-msonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-73e0d143b8-ox-12077a9602-msonormal">How do you envision these new “empowered” participants to effectively represent SO/AC/SG/C positions in such a fluid environment? It’s not difficult to imagine a lot of “I need to consult my SO/AC/SG/C” responses
to questions and that process, depending on the SO/AC/SG/C, could take weeks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-73e0d143b8-ox-12077a9602-msonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ox-73e0d143b8-ox-12077a9602-msonormal">I’m still trying to get my head around measuring consensus qualitatively and not quantitively – what is the methodology? It may have been discussed on a previous call so if that’s the case, could you or Steve
circulate the link to the recordings so I and others can review this? I know were pretty far off from this process kicking in but it’s important for all PDP participants have a solid grasp of the methodology being used before we get there.<o:p></o:p></p>

Stakeholder Group, Advisory Committee, etc. This is not in any way an attempt to discourage individuals from participating, giving their opinions, helping to analyze comments, drafting, etc., but rather just an attempt for Cheryl and I to understand that
when a position is being taken by someone, it is as an individual contributor, an organization or on behalf of a Stakeholder Group, Constituency, Advisory Committee, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
