I also support Chuck's approach, and for the reasons he lays out. I
would support a discussion of this issue upfront - our WG leadership
team - before we take any names or nominations.<br>
Best, Kathy Kleiman<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">In my personal capacity as a
volunteer for the RDS PDP WG I would like to propose
the following approach to the WG leadership that I
think would be very helpful in facilitating our
productivity:</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span
style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span>Have a leadership team
consisting of 4 WG members plus the ICANN staff
support personnel.</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span
style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span>Have one leader from each of
the four GNSO Stakeholder Groups (SGs):</p>
<p style="margin-left:1.0in">
<span>1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New
Roman"">
</span></span>Non-Commercial SG (NCSG)</p>
<p style="margin-left:1.0in">
<span>2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New
Roman"">
</span></span>Commercial SG (CSG)</p>
<p style="margin-left:1.0in">
<span>3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New
Roman"">
</span></span>Registrars SG (RrSG)</p>
<p style="margin-left:1.0in">
<span>4.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New
Roman"">
</span></span>Registries SG (RySG).</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span
style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span>The four leaders could serve
in one of two ways:</p>
<p style="margin-left:1.0in">
<span style="font-family:"Courier New""><span>o<span
style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span>2 co-chairs & 2
co-vice-chairs</p>
<p style="margin-left:1.0in">
<span style="font-family:"Courier New""><span>o<span
style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span>1 chair & 3 co-vice
chairs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In recent years in the GNSO, a team
leadership approach for WGs and even for the GNSO
Council itself has proved to be quite effective. It
not only spreads the workload around but more
importantly it allows for a small team of experienced
people to collaborate together in leading the group’s
efforts. Here are a few examples where a collaborative
leadership team have been used:</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span
style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span>The GNSO Council has a chair
plus two vice chairs.</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span
style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span>The Policy &
Implementation WG had two co-chairs and two
vice-chairs.</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span
style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span>The CWG Stewardship has two
co-chairs.</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span
style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span>The CCWG Accountability has
three co-chairs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By adding a condition that each of
the leadership team members come from different SGs,
it ensures that the chairs and vice chairs
collectively have expertise about all four of the GNSO
stakeholder groups and creates a situation where the
leaders are well versed in the varying viewpoints that
exist across all four groups as well as differences
within their respective groups. I believe that this
is especially important for an area such as
Registration Data Services (Whois) that has been very
controversial over the entirety of ICANN’s history.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For those that are new to GNSO
policy development processes, any recommendations made
by a WG have to eventually be approved by the GNSO
Council, which primarily consists of the four SGs. So
Having all SGs involved in the leadership of the WG
from the beginning should facilitate approval in the
end.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is important to remember that
the role of the leadership team is to facilitate
bottom-up multi-stakeholder policy development in a
neutral and effective manner using a consensus based
approach. This of course means managing meetings and
online work to ensure that the WG charter requirements
are satisfied. Hopefully, in most cases this will
mean guiding the full group in developing
recommendations that most if not all of the WG members
can support. But, after diligent efforts to reach
consensus, there is still significant divergence about
certain proposed recommendations, it will be the
leaders responsibility to decide whether there is
sufficient support in the WG to submit such
recommendations to the GNSO Council. Understanding
this, it is important that each SG endorse the person
on the leadership team from its group.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope that we can confirm whether
or not there is support for this approach in our WG
call tomorrow. If there is, then it will guide our
efforts in finding qualified members to serve on the
leadership team as well as how to structure the team
(2 co-chairs + 2 co-vice-chairs or 1 chair + 3
co-vice-chairs).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

questions anyone has.<span class="HOEnZb"></span></p>
