[council] PDP updates for ICANN63

[McGrady, Paul D.]

Agree.  Short and sweet focusing on timelines and problems is best.  Sometimes issues that need our attention get lost in the bedazzling amount of detail in these PDP updates – and sometime I fear (I hope irrationally) that it might be on purpose…

Thanks Heather,

Regarding the scheduling and numbers of these “updates”, I tend to prefer to have the PDP update on-site. Certainly just a personal thing but the preceding week(s) tend to be crowded to both prepare for that meeting and do things for my day-to-day job I should be doing during that meeting week and have to squeeze into the preceding week(s) instead. My short time memory being what it is, for things that are not directly under the constituency’s radar or mine, it also makes things easier to have them closer to meeting people in-person.

I actually registered for the generic policy webinars but I’m ashamed to say I missed most of those I subscribed to. I’m not giving up though…

On substance, I agree with Michelle’s and Marie’s priorities on what an update to council should be.

Regards,
Philippe

Dear Council colleagues,

As we enter the final stretch of pre-ICANN63 planning I would like to do a bit of strategic thinking about how we prepare for PDP work in Barcelona.

We have over the years tried two methods - devoting time in the Council weekend workshop to an update from each of our live PDPs, and the more recent alternative of a pre-public meeting GNSO policy webinar. There is also, I should add here for context, a broader ICANN policy webinar that occurs prior to public meetings in which the GNSO participates, as do other SO/ACs.

The question here is how best/most useful/most efficient to update on our PDPs: on the ground in Barcelona, or advance by webinar? My principal feedback to staff to this point has been that while I think it's very helpful to have the updates before we hit the ground at a f2f, it seems to duplicate efforts to hold both a generic policy webinar and a GNSO specific policy webinar.

Your thoughts very much appreciated!

Heather
