[council] RE: GNSO: PDP management issues [note changed thread]

[Marilyn Cade]

I have said enough on this. But apparently NOT, since it seems to keep being
unclear. 

Proposed and draft proposals on work programmes on the existing PDPs, such
as time lines, etc. from staff are needed so that Council /or its Task
Forces can assess, review, edit and agree to such proposed work programs. 

And of course, then Council, or its TFs will advance policy work, supported
by ICANN policy staff, input from operational staff, and advised by the
legal ICANN team.

Marilyn

Thanks for your note.

It is not my understanding that we are to devote any resources and  
time at all to the Feb 06 PCC:  Existing TLDs PDP as part of the two  
day working session in Wellington.  I have another email to the  
Council in preparation about the PCC-eTLD PDP which I was going to  
distribute tomorrow but I will send that out later tonight.

 From my side, it is entirely premature to be discussing the PCC-eTLD  
in Wellington.   Advice from the GNSO Secretariat today indicates  
that the public comment period will be between 7 March - 27 March.   
On current estimations, 10 April is the deadline for constituency  
statements.   I would encourage the Council to focus entirely on the  
new TLD PDP in the working sessions at the Wellington meetings.   
There is much good work to be done there and, in the background, I  
would hope that the constituencies would be preparing their  
statements which will then be folded into the PCC-eTLD Initial Report.

Kind regards.

Liz
