[Gnso-igo-ingo] Agenda - Reconvened IGO-INGO Protections PDP Working Group (Red Cross) - 15 February 2018 @ 14:00 UTC

[Berry Cobb]

Hi All,

 

Below is the proposed agenda for our next meeting scheduled 15 February 2018
at 14:00 UTC.  This meeting is scheduled for 90 minutes.

 

Agenda:

(0) Roll call, Agenda bash and SOI Updates

(1) Recap of WG activities

(2) Review spreadsheet of National Societies' Identifiers towards a finite
list (attached XLS)**

(3) Determine possible agreement of variants within definitive list and
confirm criteria that defines the variations

(4) If agreement, discuss parallel plan for WG report and public comment;
timeline for completion of this effort

(5) AoB and next meeting 

 

** This definitive list example was provided by the Red Cross
representatives working with each society to help define the scope of
identifiers and possible variants.  As of now, the list only contains eight
National Societies. Red Cross representatives are actively working towards
the ten agreed from our last meeting, so there might be an update prior to
our scheduled call.  

 

As a reminder from our last call, the working version of variants from the
official name:

1.                   Formal/Official name vs. "common or usual" name - the
formal name will be supplied by the IFRC and acts as the foundation for a
reconcilable list and collaboration is required with each National Society
to understand the common or usual name(s).

2.                   Definite Articles ("the") - the use of definite
articles is associated with how a National Society chooses to use their
common or usual name.

3.                   "Society" - the use of "society" is associated with how
a National Society chooses to use their common or usual name.

4.                   Language (English + Official Language(s)) - there was
discussion about official language(s) as supplied from GAC advice versus
"national language" as determined from the original WG's recommendation.
This WG discussed that there was not much deliberation on languages other
than English and that the original WG's intent was to match GAC advice on
the use of "Official Language(s)" and likely a mistake to document national
language.  Thus, a few National Societies might have more than one official
language.  The important element is that each language is properly
identified and can be traced backed to the English name of the respective
National Society for reconciliation purposes.

5.                   Country Designation - this is also a variant form to
how a National Society uses their common or usual name.

 

PS: I will send this agenda once more next week as a reminder.  Full
participation is encouraged.  Should you have any suggested amendments,
please advise.

 

Thank you.

 

B
