[Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Initial draft for review: Public Comment Review Tool

[George Kirikos]

Thanks, Mary. To prepare for tomorrow's call, I went back and re-read
the three submissions (by WIPO, US Government, and OECD) to refresh my
memory (I read them as they came in last month), and also went through
your very useful summary tables.

Any ideas on how we're going to proceed tomorrow, organizationally?
Should we as a group go through each comment from beginning to end
during the call (most of the comments have been under 5 pages in
length, and often they'd quote our reports, so the "new" material is
even shorter)? Or should we tackle each submission's appearance on the
summary table alone? (which requires jumping back/forth between the
various pages of the summary where each submission appears) Or both
ways? We want to make sure that we're thorough, but also want to also
be time efficient.

Also, there were calls for continued outreach to the IGOs (and/or the
GAC), to get their more active engagement in our work as we reach
final conclusions. Is there any change on that front? Looking at the
members list, it still lists some as Observers (so they're subscribed
to our mailing list), but they might want to consider elevating
themselves into Participants at this stage of the PDP.

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
