[Gac-gnso-cg] revised version of the charter -- forreview/comment/acceptance by the end of this week

[CARVELL, Mark]

Dear Manal and colleagues

As I mentioned in an earlier call, I've never been wholly happy with the text in the second paragraph of the Charter which I think underplays the disconnect in working modalities between the GNSO and the GAC. This is the problem we are now seeking to address. I also do not feel the text reflects reality if it says that the GNSO and the GAC set about resolving conflicting positions. The GAC's interaction on new gTLDs during 2010-12 was almost entirely with the Board, wasn't it? How about this as a revision to convey the objective we talked about today of facilitating early policy interaction between the GAC and the GNSO in order to build bridges:

"The period of review and deliberations by the GAC often necessarily requires public policy consultations within currently over 130 national administrations. Furthermore, the GAC's process for taking consensus-based decisions takes place only during the concluding stages of policy development and in consultation primarily only with the Board. These processes significantly extend the period for policy approval and implementation and it is quite possible for the GAC ultimately to take a different position from the GNSO and advise the Board against implementing the results of often long and detailed policy-making processes.

This problem was identified by the....."

Best regards

Mark

Many thanks Mikey .. Super Quick as usual !!
Agree to all enclosed edits ..
While we are still on the topic and the deadline allows, allow me to make a couple of minor non-substantial suggestions, also included in track changes ..

Adding 'Description of status quo' to the below list as it has been an ongoing task for quite some time ..

-                  A mechanism for GAC early engagement in GNSO PDP (co-led by Suzanne Radell and Mikey O'Connor)
§  Description of status quo
§  Initial proposal
§  Issues arising from this proposal
§  How those issues could be addressed
§  An agreed documented process

Deleting '(unless there's preference to have 2 separate sub-groups)' as this has already been settled

I promise to stop going through the charter and providing further comments :) !!

Kind Regards
