[RSS GWG] December 16th meeting topics

[Verd, Brad]

Ted,

Just to give you heads up so you have some time to think about the RSOs response prior to the meeting this evening.   I shared the three options you described below with the RSOs to get their feedback.  The sentiment is unanimous and they believe option 2 is in alignment with what the contents set forth in the success criteria as well as the quickest path forward right now.

Cheers,
Brad

Dear colleagues,

As you will recall, we started the discussion last week of how best to make progress now that we have received and accepted RSSAC 058.  From my perspective, we have the following decisions to make:

* Are we going to request substantive adjustments to our membership makeup and working methods?

* Given the above, what is a realistic timeline for the work plan we can share with the ICANN board and community?

* Given the updated timeline and the original expectation of a two-year commitment, are there additional folks who would expect to request that others be appointed to take on phase two of the work?

As you can see from the above, all of this pretty much gates on what, if any, adjustments we request to our membership and working methods.
In our previous discussion, I heard two basic approaches, and I believe there is a third.

The first approach would be to make no changes to the current membership model or working methods.  The second would be to bring in all the RSOs as members of the group and to adjust the working methods to require full consensus.  The third would be to adjust the methods of the working group to permit observers, with the goal of allowing the RSOs or other stakeholder groups to observe the proceedings in real time and to give early feedback via their representatives.

At the meeting tomorrow, I plan to ask the members of the group to reflect on these choices (or to provide other options), so we can see if we can come to a consensus on at least the first question.

best regards,

Ted Hardie
