Response: The core of our work focuses on IDN variants, although there may be elements that touch on these topics.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
Question: Can this group go further than the SubPro recommendations if it chooses to do so?
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
Response: The WG can extend beyond what SubPro recommendations include, but it should only do so if it finds that SubPro missed something or there is new information. It should not repeat deliberations that have already taken place.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
This charter is structured to look at some of the implications in detail that SubPro didn’t look at. This WG will also be looking to extend SubPro recommendations on future gTLDs to existing gTLDs.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">

Response: The ccPDP WG has done a significant amount of work on variant management, second level variant distribution, and RZ-LGR. The WG expects that the sub-group on variant management will complete discussion on this topic in the next month for consideration
by the full WG. This GNSO WG will have an opportunity to review and consider the ccPDP outputs on this topic as well.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

Members and participants largely take part on equal footing. Participants can take part in deliberation in meetings on the mailing lists, but they do not take part in the consensus processes. Only members take part in the consensus designation process. When
the WG is looking for official positions from different groups in the community, it will be members that will present these positions.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
This WG will follow the GNSO’s Standard Methodology for Making Decisions (section 3.6 of the GNSO Working Group Guidelines). Please see the charter for detailed information about levels of support: Full Consensus, Consensus, Strong Support by Significant Opposition,
Divergence, Minority View.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
The consensus designation process is a qualitative analysis done by the Chair. It is not a vote. It is an iterative process in which WG members have opportunity to provide feedback on the Chair’s designation.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
Procedurally, it is a valid outcome if the WG does not reach Full Consensus or Consensus on its outcomes.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
This WG will draw on the Consensus Playbook, an output from the GNSO’s “PDP 3.0” effort to increase effectiveness and efficiency of the PDP. The Playbook emphasizes negotiating for “mutual gains” and draws on techniques for coming to agreement on topics where
there are different interests at play. It is a useful resource for this and other groups in the ICANN context.

High-level review of the topics within the charter to make sure the sequence of topics in the charter make sense and confirm that the WG should deliberate on topics in that order. This will assist with preparing the work plan to deliver to the GNSO Council.
