Good thoughts from Alan and Thomas. But there are other factors that must be considered as well.

Keep in mind that this (Section 16) process is meant to be a light-weight "are you sure?" review of a subset of the PDP recommendations, not a blank page re-do of the work. With this in mind, we should be very wary of admitting new members who did not participate on the original PDP. Otherwise, we foster a perception that Section 16 is the "real" PDP, a second bite at the apple, and all of the previous work was just some preliminary exercise.

That said, this particular situation is challenged by extreme gap elapsed between the original PDP (late 2013) and the reconvened group. Many of the individuals or groups who participated on the original PDP may not be available this time around for a variety of reasons. As I indicated during the first call, the reconvened WG should therefore be open to common sense admission of new members, if it can be shown that they are replacing a point of view or stakeholder that would otherwise be absent from the Section 16 review.

This is the first instance where the GNSO is engaging in its review procedure, and we are very wary of creating precedents that will outlive the topic du jour and be applied, perhaps incorrectly, to future PDPs. But I am confident that Thomas Rickert and the members of the PDP will exercise good judgement in allowing some necessary new members, but without opening the floodgates to any & all interested newcomers

Thank you,

J.

I missed this thread when it started.

We have always (as long as I can recall anyway) allowed people to join a PDP WG part-way through the process - with an understanding that they need to get up to speed on the issues. I see nothing wrong with people joining a reconvened PDP WG. If it is reconvened, it is back in operation (with a more targeted mandate) - no reason to impose new rules.

Moreover, it is certain that some of the original participants may not wish to play in the sandbox, so replacing them would also be a natural occurrence.

Dear all

first of all, thanks to Greg for raising an important question.

I am not too familiar with the exact procedural aspects of GNSO work, but the point that I am making is a rather general one:

We all agreed that it would be useful and in the interest of all if GNSO PDPs were as be open and inclusive as possible.
And we also agreed that the GAC should engage as early as possible in GNSO work that is relevant from a public policy perspective.

So I think it is important that GAC (as well as all other stakeholders) are able to participate in this particular workstream.

whether this is now a new or resumed old process and whether you can or have to do a new public call or not, I can^t tell, but in any case all this should allow all those who want and who should to participate in this and all of this should be done transparently.

I hope this helps J

Betreff: Re: [Ext] Re: [Gnso-igo-ingo] Fw: Proposed agenda for the first meeting of this reconvened PDP Working Group on Red Cross names

Dear Greg and everyone,

Staff is consulting with Thomas and the GNSO Council leadership regarding the question you raised. Our understanding was that the consultation that is mandatory in this policy amendment process is with the original PDP Working Group, reconvened, and is thus not a new Working Group (which would require an open call for volunteers). Observers to the GAC (e.g. the Red Cross and various IGOs) were participants in the Working Group, however, which was formed in the days when GNSO Working Groups did not have the option to sign up only to be an observer, so one option here could be for new participants to be observers rather than members to the Working Group.

In any event, we will confirm once the GNSO Council leadership has had a chance to discuss the matter.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

Subject: [Ext] Re: [Gnso-igo-ingo] Fw: Proposed agenda for the first meeting of this reconvened PDP Working Group on Red Cross names

I thought that Stephane's request raised an interesting procedural question/quandary, and I was a little surprised to see it granted without discussion.

The PDP Manual is rather sparse, stating only that the first step in the amendment/modification process is that: "The PDP Team is reconvened or, if disbanded, reformed, and should be consulted with regards to the proposed amendments or modifications;"

I had thought of this as "getting the band back together again," i.e., bringing together the team that had participated in the original PDP process so they could be consulted based on their experience and expertise gained through the deliberations of the Working Group.  As such I had the idea that the reconvened WG was limited to the pre-existing members of the WG.

Of course, Working Groups are generally open to new participants at any time, unless stated otherwise, and subject to certain limitations (i.e., later joiners must read the existing documents, etc. of the group and may not re-open decided points absent compelling new evidence).  It was just not clear to me that this general rule applied to a reconvened working group, given my understanding of why the "old" group is reconstituted rather than just forming a new group.

If the general rule applies, and the group is open to new members, doesn't it then make sense to put out a general call for new members?  We should allow all stakeholders the same opportunity, rather than  having new membership be "by invitation only."

To me, the current situation is a somewhat uncomfortable midway point between bringing the old gang together and essentially convening a new group under the name of the old one.

It would be unfortunate to start our work with a procedural irregularity, particularly where the invitation for selected new members to participate has come from the party that is inarguably most interested in the outcome of this process.  This could set an unfortunate precedent for future work under Section 16.

I look forward to the thoughts of others.  Apologies that I cannot be on Wednesday's call to raise the issue.

Best regards,

Greg

Dear Mary,

Many thanks for the agenda of the first call of the reconvened PDP Working Group, just received.

On Jorge Cancio's suggestion, could you kindly consider to add the names and e-mails of Thomas Schneider, Jorge Cancio and Mark Carvell to the distributions' list and invitations for the reconvened PDP Working Group meeting calls. It is important that the voice of member States of the GAC be also, and as far as possible, represented.

Could you also kindly add Charlotte's name and e-mail as well (Charlotte Lindsey: clindsey at icrc.org<mailto:clindsey at icrc.org>).

With thanks and kind regards,

     The collaborative spirit, the timeliness of our work, the time spent by all of you and the fact that we came to consensus on many points despite the diverse views represented in the WG was very much applauded by Council members, Board members and individuals that spoke up.

     It is my pleasure to pass on this commendation to all of you and I would like to personally thank all of you again as well as Berry, Mary and Marika from ICANN staff for their outstanding work.
