Welcome to the RDS PDP WG, Viviane - and to all newcomers,<br><br>
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:
<a href="http://tinyurl.com/ng-rds" eudora="autourl">
http://tinyurl.com/ng-rds<br><br>
</a>If you're a newcomer to the Policy Development Process, you may want
to visit
<a href="https://gnso.icann.org/en/basics/consensus-policy" eudora="autourl">
https://gnso.icann.org/en/basics/consensus-policy</a> to read about the
basics of the PDP process and how to participate in a PDP Working
Group.<br><br>
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:
<a href="https://whois.icann.org/en/about-whois" eudora="autourl">
https://whois.icann.org/en/about-whois</a><br><br>
Once you have an understanding of WHOIS, you'll want to dive into the
background material found on our wiki:
<a href="https://community.icann.org/x/QIxlAw" eudora="autourl">
https://community.icann.org/x/QIxlAw</a><br><br>
In particular, I recommend starting with the
<a href="http://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/final-issue-report-next-generation-rds-07oct15-en.pdf">
Final Issue Report</a>, 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
<a href="https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/56986688/RDS%20Beginners%20Tutorial%20-%202%20February%202016.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1454355058000&api=v2">
RDS PDP Beginner’s Tutorial</a> (2 February 2016).<br><br>
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:
<a href="https://community.icann.org/x/C4xlAw" eudora="autourl">
https://community.icann.org/x/C4xlAw</a> 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:
<a href="http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-rds-pdp-wg/">
http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-rds-pdp-wg/<br><br>
</a>You can find documents produced by the RDS PDP WG over the past year
here:
<a href="https://community.icann.org/x/p4xlAw" eudora="autourl">
https://community.icann.org/x/p4xlAw</a> - 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.<br><br>
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@icann.org>, Amr Elsadr
<amr.elsadr@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@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@verisign.com>,

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">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!<br><br>
Thank you so much!<br><br>
