[Marika Konings]

Dear All,

Please find below the notes from today's GAC-GNSO Consultation Group
meeting. If I've missed anything, please feel free to add.

Best regards,

Marika

Notes 23/9:

Welcome to GNSO Liaison to the GAC
* Confirm GAC agenda when available to Mason, including which meetings are
closed
* Consider when / how introductions should be made during the ICANN meeting
Day-to-day work / PDP Track
* Document (day-to-day work track) is not intended to be presented / shared
in LA - to be used to capture brainstorming / ideas and derive from there
suggestions to be shared in LA
* What triggers are there on the GNSO side that would 'require' involvement
of the GAC, for example previous GAC advice, link of issue to national laws?
* Joint committee of some form could facilitate such two-way conversation as
well as identifying when public policy issues are involved (what role can
the GNSO play in this, what role does the GAC have). Need to discuss how
this could be done in a pilot format. Possible permanent changes could/would
need to be reflected in the GNSO Operating Procedures. Further conversations
in both the GAC and GNSO may be helpful to obtain input.
* Need to prepare well for the discussion in LA as not everyone may have
followed this conversation as closely
* Consider sharing examples of current briefing documents and papers with
GAC to obtain more concrete input on how these can be improved / modified.
* Consider putting forward ideas / suggestions for consideration and obtain
input from both communities which may provide further guidance on how to
work out some of those ideas in further detail
* Proposal to slow things further down may not be well received - mapping
out processes in tandem (GNSO and GAC) may give a better indication
if/how/when additional time may be needed
* Early stages of PDP are fairly slow - maybe question is to refocus GAC
attention on those phases instead of when recommendations are already fairly
baked.
* Ability for GAC to identify experts on certain issues could greatly
facilitate work on topics that are considered to have an impact on public
policy
Other
* Next meeting scheduled for 7 October
* Discuss materials for LA meeting on mailing list
* Work on agenda for F2F meeting for LA
