[gnso-review-dt] Follow Up to Council Meeting

[Jen Wolfe]

Hello GNSO Review Working Party,

The draft of the proposed response to the OEC regarding Revised Recommendation 23 was discussed during today's GNSO Council meeting.   The Council asked that we defer sending a formal statement to the OEC until everyone can review and respond from their respective groups.

I spoke with staff following the Council presentation to confirm timing issues and wanted to highlight an important point.  On Monday, the OEC is just  being briefed by Westlake.  They are not taking any action or planning to discuss any action until their meeting in Dublin.  The next step will be for the OEC to consider the recommendations and determine what action to take.

Accordingly, I recommend that we notify the OEC that the WP and the GNSO Council have concerns about Revised Recommendation 23, that we are working to prepare a more formal response and that they delay taking an action on Recommendation 23 until the community can properly respond.

This would afford the necessary time to go back to your respective groups and discuss the response and to gain consensus on a written response to the OEC.  I know that everyone is busy and adding on a rushed or urgent important communication is not in anyone's best interest.

Please let me know if you agree or disagree with this approach.

For next steps, we are working on scheduling one more call before Dublin so that we can prioritize the other 35 recommendations into what is workable and feasible versus what may not have consensus or be workable (i.e. Rec. 23 among some others).  We can then head into Dublin to address the response to the OEC.

Thank you again for your continued commitment to this process - it is greatly appreciated!
