[council] Recommendations Report on EPDP

Hi All,

To provide a little bit of background on the approach and style of this report, it was one of the improvements that came out of the 2004 GNSO review during which the PDP in its current format was conceived. At the time not all Board materials were published so there was no real visibility as to what information was being provided to the ICANN Board. As such, the GNSO decided that in addition to the Board Paper that is prepared by Org, the GNSO Council would accompany the approval of GNSO policy recommendations with a GNSO Council recommendations report to the ICANN Board which would include the information that the Board would typically review in its assessment of GNSO policy recommendations. Hopefully this background is helpful as you further consider updates / edits.

Best regards,

Marika

Hello Pam,

I certainly think that neither the chronological structure, nor the recommendations-cum-recommendations style is appropriate for other people than the insiders of the process.

Since I was not a direct participant I didn't dare to ask for more than a table of contents and a clear statement of the purpose of the document. Otherwise I don't think in this version is going to make the Council and the PDP 3.0 very popular in the community. But I respect the voice of the majority before making more marginal comments. In my view it needs a clear structure and clear international standard english style, to which I can't add much. The PDP members deserve better for their arduous work.

Hi all,

I have added more comments and minor edits to the version Ayden circulated earlier.


I admit this is the first time I read a GNSO Council Recommendations Report to the Board and it strikes me that the report template might need to be updated.

Specifically, what seem missing in this draft report are things like policy goals, policy impact analysis and metrics to measure effectiveness of the new policy. These were recommendations from the Data & Metrics Working Group and the most recent GNSO Review, which were approved by the Council and supposedly fully implemented but neither the EPDP Charter, the EPDP Final Report nor this draft report cover these topics. I would have thought these topic are essential for the Council and the Board when approving any PDP/EPDP final recommendations.

I note there are relevant sections (such as 3 and 10) in the draft report but, as currently drafted, Section 3 reads like a restatement of the concerns or positions of certain SGs and Cs while Section 10 does not contain substantive analysis:

"3 (An analysis of how the issue(s) would affect each Constituency or Stakeholder Group, including any financial impact on the Constituency or Stakeholder Group) seems to be just a rehash of concerns or positions each SG's/C's
....
10. Impact/implementation considerations from ICANN staff

The internal ICANN org implementation team has formed and has begun to review the recommendations to analyze the implementation requirements. ICANN org considers the scope of effort required for this implementation to be significant and extensive. "

I welcome others' thoughts.

Kind regards,

Pam
