[Gac-gnso-cg] TO DO: GNSO / GAC Early Engagement Document

[CARVELL, Mark]

Thanks - yes, good point. The GAC needs to get into a position of being able to sift the PDPs quickly in order to identify only those where it has a substantial public policy interest which would merit direct involvement in the policy development. How we get to that decision stage is dependant on the information submitted to the GAC. This information should capture the essence of each proposal as concisely as possible but should not pre-empt GAC consideration of its response: it should not be in the form of advice or a recommendation.

I expect in more complex proposals, some discussion around the GAC table may be needed with the ability to ask questions of experts for clarification but I hope that this step of GAC assessment of public policy interest will be easier to facilitate than it sounds!

I expect it is also quite possible that a substantive public policy interest may not emerge until some time after the PDP has been launched so I guess some kind of a trigger would be required for reverting the PDP notification process back to the GAC for it to consider possible involvement.

I hope that these comments are helpful.

Kind regards

Mark

Having said that, I would like to caution against charging staff with such an assignment as I don't think we would be in a position to take responsibility for identifying what does and what does not constitute public policy implications as that is really within the GAC's remit to determine. Of course, if there are any specific objective criteria that would assist the GAC in this task, those could possibly be added to the one-pagers.

Best regards,

Marika

Brian and all,
Actually, there is a system in place already, close to what you are requesting:  for each active GNSO PDP (and for ccNSO as well), a monthly one-pager update is produced, posted on the GAC website, notified on the GAC mailing list and translated into six languages.
That said, currently these one-pagers do not specifically identify or highlight public policy implications, so I believe your request can be focused on that aspect, given the existing information structure as a basis.
Very best regards
Olof

Dear all:

I think the updated version of the document looks great, and would only add one inquiry to the Working Group phase of the PDP, namely whether it is possible to create a neutral party, possibly within ICANN staff, charged with flagging any PDPs with clear public policy implications for the GAC.

The aim is to lighten their load in making sure that PDPs with obvious policy implications, such as the recently initiated Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation PDP, do not slip through any cracks.  It would be great to hear views on this suggestion.

Thank you,

Brian

All,

For our records, an updated version of document which tracks current and purposed mechanisms for GAC engagement in the GNSO PDP.
