Hello Chuck
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Support your approach and would suggest a friendly amendment to perhaps help.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">An independent chair that is experienced in the field, knows many of the issues and impacts of this work, would also be helpful. In my experience of past efforts in this and other PDPs, a perception of independence and deep subject matter expertise
could be helpful. In this particular case, the delicate balance of conflicting philosophies and approach has, often, ground productive work to a halt.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Looking forward to speaking to everyone tomorrow.</div>

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:<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

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.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

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.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
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.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

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
