[council] VI WG report

[Stéphane Van Gelder]

Dear Councillors,

Please find below the latest VI WG report. My thanks to co-chair Mikey Roberts for his work in drafting this.

Stéphane

Vertical Integration Policy Development Process (VI PDP) - Chairs Roberto Gaetano and Mikey O'Connor - Council Liaison - Stéphane van Gelder

 

The working group initiated a public comment period and solicited constituency-statements.

 

Scope, timing and deliverable questions have been resolved -- a preliminary work schedule has been published, major deliverables will be ready for review during the Brussels meeting.

 

The working group was unable to arrive at consensus around Objective 5 of the charter -- the question was referred back to the Council and has been resolved.

 

The working group is focusing on iterative development of "proposals" as the primary work product -- proposal sub-groups are already active, with the prospect of one or two more coming online.

 

The working group launched a parallel effort (and sub-team) to evaluate proposals using definitions, use-cases, and evaluation criteria.

 

After further consideration, and noting the extraordinary size of the working group, the WG was closed to new members as of 31-March.
