RE: [bc-gnso] RE: [gnso-irtp-b-jun09] IRTP recommendation about locking during UDRP

["Zahid Jamil" <zahid@xxxxxxxxx>]

I believe this discussion may have been overtaken by events ? Kristina made
a suggestion for an amendment and Tim has accepted as friendly:

Resolved (C), the GNSO Council acknowledges receipt of IRTP Part B
Recommendation #7 and will consider this recommendation when it considers
the Final Issue Report on the Current State of the UDRP.


Sincerely,

Subject: [bc-gnso] RE: [gnso-irtp-b-jun09] IRTP recommendation about locking
during UDRP


I will mimic Marilyn's standard by stating that I am writing on my own
behalf and not that of the BC.  In case you were not aware, I also
participated on the IRTP-B WG.

I will probably not shock anyone with my support of Mikey's view.  This is
not the only recommendation where the issue of Policy Development vs.
Managing the Policy Process has surfaced.  I reference the RAP
recommendation of a Non-Binding PDP on Best Practices of Malicious Use of
Domain Names.  We have a proper GNSO sanctioned "pre-PDP" process that would
have acted as the framework in which to proceed, and that is what the WG
attempted to follow.  Instead, the recommendation was watered down to a
"Discussion Paper" with no clear guidance on next steps.  Correct me if I am
wrong, but I do not recall "Discussion Papers" in any part of the GNSO
process.  I will not claim to be an expert in GNSO bylaws, but in my opinion
this is an adequate example where policy development at the Council bypassed
consensus of the WG recommendation.  But, I digress.

Tim, you state that this IRTP recommendation is now folded in to the UDRP
Issues report.  That's great, and HOPEFULLY a PDP will be approved.
However, what happens if a PDP on UDRP does not get approved by the council?
Now what?  I'm speculating here, but "BLACK HOLE" comes to mind.  And when I
see black holes the real result is that nothing gets fixed or accomplished
except a waste of time.

Lastly, I will take these experiences as a valuable learning lesson for
future PDP recommendations, if I am involved with such.  WG members and
community participants MUST be more diligent in how we frame PDP
recommendations submitted to the Council.  Further, WGs must provide more
clarity and less ambiguity of the recommendation and a suggested path on how
they should be executed.

I personally feel that if we do not course correct soon,the PDP process will
be in jeopardy of losing credibility.  

Thank you for your time.

I'd rather not. I've explained it to you. You either don't get it or don't
want to. If you want to discuss F2F let me know.

Tim, i'd much rather have this conversation over a limited-scope test-case
issue that's relatively straightforward to resolve than a really hard one.

if working groups are the place where policy gets made, then let the WG fix
this minor problem for you rather than fixing it yourselves.

engaging the WG in the conversation, you're setting precedents that the
Council may come to regret when it is trying to recruit volunteers to devote
years of their lives to efforts like that in the future.

this issue is the perfect one to use as a test-case for the very reasons you
describe.  my worry is that some day we'll get to a tough/complex issue  on
a WG report and the Council will roar off and try to fix it on the fly
rather than pushing it back to the people who've devoted the time to get up
to speed on the nuances.
