[gnso-rpm-wg] Proposed Procedures for URS Policy and Operational Recommendations; Draft Agenda for 22 Aug Call

[Ariel Liang]

Dear RPM PDP Working Group members

On behalf of the Co-Chairs, the attached document is a proposal that the Co-Chairs hope will facilitate the RPM PDP Working Group discussion and development of URS policy and operational recommendations over the course of the upcoming Working Group meetings in August and September, beginning with our next meeting.

The Working Group faces a significant challenge in adhering to its current timeline and completing its URS work for the Initial Report by the end of September. It is therefore imperative that the Working Group agrees on tight procedures that provide a fair opportunity for all members to propose operational and policy modifications to the URS. In addition, the procedures should facilitate identification of those proposals that lack significant support and thus may be deferred to the Initial Report for public comment, or to Phase Two of the WG’s efforts because they are substantially intertwined with UDRP issues.

In addition to the proposal, please also review the online survey form<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/URSProposal> for WG members to submit proposals. Upon request, staff can also provide a .doc version of the online survey form to WG members who have difficulty accessing the online survey.

Please review the proposal and come prepared to discuss them at the meeting on Wednesday, 22 August, at 17:00 UTC.  Here also is a draft agenda for your review:

Draft Working Group Agenda:


  1.  Review Agenda/SOIs
  2.  Discussion of Proposed Procedures for URS Policy and Operational Recommendations (see attached Proposed Procedures for URS Policy and Operational Recommendations)
  3.  Begin consideration of the sub team recommendations, under the proposed framework (see attached Super Consolidated URS Topics Table – with Findings, Issues, and Suggestions from all Three URS Sub Teams for Working Group Discussion)
  4.  AOB

Best,
Mary, Julie, Ariel & Berry
On behalf of the RPM PDP Working Group Co-Chairs
