[council] GNSO Review TOR + Background Information

[Liz Williams]

Grant

 

Thank you for your comments.  You will have seen my separate email which
addresses the formatting issues you have raised.  All the items you have
asked for in a previous email have been included.  I manage version control
by changing the end of the document name to reflect the date on which the
document was finished.  That way I have previous full versions to refer to
so I can track changes carefully.

 

I agree with the footer comment - it reflects other comments I've received
and I will, once we finish at COB Brussels time Friday 2 Sept, make some
further amendments.

 

Liz

Liz et al

Attached is a marked up version of your TOR

Besides the specific comments marked up I provide the following additional
comments:

Formatting

1 It would be desirable if all GNSO staff reports/papers etc conformed to an
agreed standard layout with a minimum set of information (which I have
provided here as mark ups)

2 please ensure all paragraphs and bullets are numbered

3. Given that ICANN is an international body, I recommend that dates be
provided in full to avoid confusion. IE 1 September 2005, not 1/9/05 or
9/1/05. Dates of documents (unless it is explicitly noted as the "print"
date) should not use the MS Word "insert date option", but rather be typed
in. This avoids the original date of the document changing.

4 I personally don't think the moving of the questions/analysis to footers
works. My preference is that they be moved to an annex

 

I look forward advancing the development of the TOR on the call.

 

Regards

Colleagues

 

Thank you to everyone who has provided comments so far.  Please find
attached two documents.  As per input from the conference call last week, I
have separated out the background information and devised another document
which looks more like a more formal TOR.

 

Could I ask you to review it - the Chair has asked for comments to be in by
Friday 2 Sept Brussels COB.   He will then forward an updated document to
the Board for 8 Sept once any additional comments are taken into account. 

 

On the current timeframe, this means that the Board will not receive the
document seven days prior to any meeting.

 

Any questions, come back to me.

 

Kind regards.

 

Liz
