[council] Some initial thoughts on Working Groups

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

Attached is a brief set of notes on considerations for forming WGs.   
This is the deliverable that was discussed briefly at our Thursday  
meeting in ND.  It is my personal opinion formed from participation in  
and chair of many working groups, and similar groups, over the years.   
as such it has no status other then as a suggestion for a possible  
point from which to start conversations.   I am sure there are more  
considerations then what I have included and I am also sure that there  
are many ways of looking at this issue that I have not touched upon.

I believe that we will need to spend some time on our plans to dealing  
with the GNSO restructuring at our next meeting on 27 March.  At that  
time I will suggest that we form a standing Committee to work on  
guidelines  for WGs.  Perhaps this Standing Committee will also be  
able to deal with the questions on PDP as they are fundamentally  
linked with WGs.

In any case this draft is not for discussion at today's (6 March)  
meeting and is meant as one starting place for the discussion we, the  
GNSO community and the ICANN community at large need to engage in.

thanks

a.
