[council] FW: Comments on Board SubPro Scorecard

[Anne ICANN]

Thanks Greg.  Jeff has provided a lot of background as to why the policy
was developed as it was in each case.  It occurs to me after today's
informal discussion (recording previously provided to the Council list)
that with respect to matters where Council may want to affirm policy
recommendations as written, the GNSO Input Process may be the appropriate
tool.  I'm sure we will be looking at this in the small team.

For example, when Becky presented the scorecard last week, there were a
couple of times that she mentioned a possible limited ByLaws amendment in
order to effect the policy and alleviate Board concerns re scope of Mission
and associated risk.  It's worth discussing whether, in such cases, the
Council should affirm the policy as recommended and ask the Board to act on
the limited ByLaws amendments, assuming no objection from the Empowered
Community on the point in each case.  (If we anticipate an Empowered
Community objection process, that's a different story.)

It strikes me that much of the Board's commentary on the 38 items is
grounded in risk management principles.
