[Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] PPSAI Work Plan

[Mary Wong]

Dear Don, Jim and everyone,

One of the various items for consideration in developing the WG's Work Plan
will involve the planned timing of deliverables relating to each category of
questions (however many there ultimately are or whether each category is
tackled by a different sub-team). The WG may wish to consider, for example,
whether certain questions/categories need to be addressed before others.

Hopefully our next iteration of the Mind Map and proposed timeline/work plan
will assist the WG in discussing Jim's suggestions, which reflects the
methodology used in a couple of other WGs (and it is good to know that your
team felt the IGO-INGO WG experience was productive and helpful, Jim!). The
work plan is likely change over time depending on the nature and outcome of
the WG (or sub-team) discussions, and as Jim notes certain categories (e.g.
Main Issues) may be more organic than others.

Should the WG decide to proceed via sub-teams, another thing to consider
would be ensuring that the work is spread evenly across the WG rather than
have a small group of people spread across various sub-teams (especially if
the deliverables from those are due in short order!).

I hope these thoughts are useful. To assist with your review of Jim's
suggestions, I attach an updated version of Jim's document which adds the
threshold question for Section III discussed on the call yesterday (using
Steve's suggested wording) and with a couple of comments inserted to help
provide context to one or two sub-questions that Kathy had asked about.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

> 2.      Based on Working Group survey responses, clarify the terminology and
> issues in each Group of the Charter questions. Identify consensus or
> near-consensus responses and hold Consensus Call on these issues.
> 
>  
> 
>  3.     Create Working Group  sub-teams to work on issues by group: (a)
> Registration; (b) Maintenance; (c) Contact; (d) Relay; (e) Reveal; (f)
> Publication; (g) Termination.  Note that the current groupings of questions do
> not include ³Publication² or ³Termination² categories.  We propose adding
> these categories, which would include questions taken out of other current
> categories, as identified in the attached redline draft.  Note also that the
> remaining questions in the Main Issues group, an overarching category, would
> be addressed organically as a result of this proposed process.
> 
>  
> 
>       a) Each sub-team produces a report, which is delivered to Don by each
> Friday or Saturday at the latest, so it can be combined by staff with the
> other sub-team reports and discussed at the upcoming Tuesday Working Group
> teleconference. 
> 
>  
> 
>       b) When the responses to the survey come in from the other
> constituencies, ICANN staff summarizes the responses for the Working Group.
> Each sub-team then analyzes the constituencies' and Working Group's responses
> (including majority and minority views) in its area, and delivers the result
> to Don by Friday or Saturday, so ICANN staff can combine it all in one
> document, such as an Excel file, for full Working Group review.
> 
>  
> 
>  4. Working Group holds Consensus Call and revises final Excel file of
> responses to survey accordingly.
> 
>  
> 
> 5.    Draft report presenting (1) Consensus Proposals (if any); (2)
> Non-Consensus Proposals w/ Levels of Support; (3) Minority Views w/Levels of
> Support.
> 
>  
> 
>  6.  Present Report for Public Comment.
> 
>

> This process will provide a means to circle back to the remaining Main Issues
