[council] Flow chart - gTLD Registration Services PDP

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

Thanks for the reminder.

BTW, these should probably be mentioned on the GNSO Operating procedures
page and on the GNSO council resources wiki page.  While I have no
excuse and should have remembered them since I was part of the team that
made the recommendations, others might not recall it either.

In re-reading this pdf I notice that it says:

I see that at least the IGO/INGO Curative Rights Protection for
IGO/INGOs has pilot tested this approach.  If this PDP process loops
back and reissues the Preliminary issues report, it does appear possible
to repeat this experiment even though this is a pre-existing PDP.

BTW, I am sure I am missing it, but when did the council agree on this
experiment occur.  Looking through
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions> I don't see it.  Neither
do it see it mentioned in the minutes of 23 Jan.  But with my track
record today*, as I said, I am sure I am missing it and/or forgetting
something.

I guess this whole discussion is fodder for John's collection of issues
for the informal group of GNSO & Board types that will discuss the way
forward for this PDP.

Thanks again,

avri

* (misidentifying which preliminary report included rights impact
analyses and forgetting the charter approach experiment)
