If there is further support for this idea, staff could create such a page on
the GNSO wiki under the heading 'joint SO-AC Working Groups' (see
https://community.icann.org/category/gnso)?

Best regards,

Marika

Hi Manal,

Yeah., you're right in your first assumption of a viewer-friendly public
archive, and certainly not to be used as a collaborative platform. I've been
doing a lot of reading over the past couple of years on the complexities
involved in transitioning co-workers from their preferred methods of
interaction to online collaborative platforms, and I like you all too much
to put you through something like that. :)

Thanks.

Dear Amr ..

I personally don't mind having a GAC-GNSO CG Wiki, particularly with
information sharing, progress updating and transparency in mind ..

So if you mean that we need to have it as a viewer-friendly public archive,
I don't think anyone would mind .. but if you are proposing it as a
collaborative platform for content editing by group members, this is what I
was challenging, out of my experience with the GAC ..

I stand to be corrected if my above interpretations are not accurate .. But
again, to be clear, I'm not against having a Wiki page in principle, and
very much welcome the initiative !!

Looking forward to hearing what others think ..

Kind Regards

Hi All,

I was hoping we could revisit a recommendation I made during the first
couple of meetings we had, and that was to have a wiki space for our group.
With the increasing number of documents this Consultation Group (CG) is
drafting, I believe it would be helpful to have them all available in one
location for easy access. For example, the four documents and one PPT
circulated by Manal regarding tomorrow's meeting in addition to this group's
draft charter. It's a lot easier to use than rummaging through an inbox or
folder looking for the latest draft of a specific document.

There is an added benefit to having a personal wiki space for this CG, and
that is the ability to share our work with our respective community members,
and keep them updated on the progress that we make.

Using a wiki page doesn't pose a technical difficulty (incase that is a
concern). In my (limited) experience, ICANN staff have done most of the
heavy lifting when it comes to keeping them updated. They pretty much
arrange the different pages on a wiki and post stuff according to the
group's requests to do so.

Check this wiki page for the
<https://community.icann.org/display/tatcipdp/Translation+and+Transliteratio
n+of+Contact+Information+PDP+Home> Translation and Transliteration of
Contact Information PDP  as an example. It's a relatively new PDP WG, so the
page hasn't been loaded with lots of stuff, but it should give you all an
idea on how it works.

As you can see, there is a menu on the left side of the page with links to
useful stuff like the PDP WG's charter, the members list, relevant studies
to the PDP/background documents as well as a link to proposed questions the
WG will be tackling in the near future, with each question having its
respective dedicated wiki page with updates on progress.

I imagine that having a wiki for this group would help our GAC members share
updates with the rest of the GAC, and a question on this has already been
brought up during the last GNSO Council meeting. I figure that since this
mailing list is already a publicly archived one, it wouldn't hurt to have a
space where our work is accessible in a more viewer-friendly manner.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Amr
