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

Jim,

Thanks very much for all the work you put in on this. I am very anxious to see the group's thoughts on it. I will reserve mine for now except to note that reviewing seven reports each week is inducing cold sweats already. :)

I will note up front though that apart from process considerations, staff support availability will have to be part of our work plan decisions.

Best,

Don

Dear Don,

As you indicated, a Work Plan should help guide our Group's efforts over the upcoming weeks. We have some suggestions, based on our positive experience in the IGO/INGO PDP Working Group.

Please give us the benefit of your thoughts on the following suggested Work Plan:

1.      Summarize and compile Working Group survey responses --possibly in an Excel file, circulated among Group members.  This should be a task for ICANN Staff.

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 "Publication" or "Termination" 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 questions.

Regards,

Jim
