[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Meeting RDS 25 April Subject?

Tue Apr 25 21:40:54 UTC 2017

Vivian,

Let join with Lisa in welcoming you to the WG.

I want to add one suggestion to the excellent information provided by Lisa: There are quite a large number of WG members from the NCUC that you could contact to get additional assistance if needed.  Several of them have been very active in the WG and I would like to think that any of them could point you to those who might be most helpful.  The very last link that Lisa provided will take you to the WG member list where you can easily see each member's affiliation and identify your NCUC colleagues.

Welcome to the RDS PDP WG, Viviane - and to all newcomers,

As you may know, new Working Group (WG) members are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the issue at hand, including the issue report, WG charter, past meetings, and agreements reached thus far. To assist you, there is plenty of information available on the WG's wiki, found here: http://tinyurl.com/ng-rds

If you're a newcomer to the Policy Development Process, you may want to visit https://gnso.icann.org/en/basics/consensus-policy to read about the basics of the PDP process and how to participate in a PDP Working Group.

If you're unfamiliar with today's WHOIS system and policies - which may or many not end up being replaced by a next-generation RDS - you can start learning with the WHOIS primer: https://whois.icann.org/en/about-whois

Once you have an understanding of WHOIS, you'll want to dive into the background material found on our wiki: https://community.icann.org/x/QIxlAw

In particular, I recommend starting with the Final Issue Report, which contains the WG's Charter and a lengthy history of past concerns and efforts which led to the formation of the RDS PDP WG. Another good place to start learning about this PDP is the RDS PDP Beginner?s Tutorial (2 February 2016).

It is important for any new WG member to catch up past meetings and on rough agreements reached by the WG thus far, to avoid re-opening discussions except when bringing in new information. To catch up on any missed meeting(s), visit the Meetings section of the wiki: https://community.icann.org/x/C4xlAw and select the meeting of interest. On each meeting page, you'll find notes, a transcript, an audio recording, and links to meeting materials. The WG mailing list archive can also be found here: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-rds-pdp-wg/

You can find documents produced by the RDS PDP WG over the past year here: https://community.icann.org/x/p4xlAw - this includes Summaries of Key Inputs, towards the bottom of that page. Currently, the WG is deliberating on "key concepts" associated with the first 5 questions in its charter. To prep for any meeting, it is a good idea to check the most recent version of the KeyConceptsDeliberation-WorkingDraft which is always posted at the top of this Phase 1 Documents page.

I hope you'll find this explanation and starter links helpful to familiarize yourself with the work on this PDP. Staff for this PDP (Marika Konings <marika.konings at icann.org>, Amr Elsadr <amr.elsadr at icann.org>, and myself) will be happy to help answer other questions or point you to someone who can. If you need general help with mailing lists, using the wiki, dialing or logging into meetings, etc, just email <gnso-secs at icann.org> and a GNSO Secretariat staff member will help you out. Finally, to learn more about other members of this WG, including our WG chair, Chuck Gomes <cgomes at verisign.com>, visit https://community.icann.org/x/I4xlAw

Best Regards,
Lisa Phifer
Staff, RDS PDP WG

I'm sorry for missig last week's and today's meeting, I tried to participate but the time zone and my internship were my major problems. I'm new at this WG and at NCUC, so I want to know if someone can explain me how the RDS works, how can I participate more, and the subjects of the both meetings!

Thank you so much!
