[board-09georegionswg] 5 May Geo Regions Rev WG Conf Call - Preparation Material and Information
Dear Working Group Members: In preparation for your meeting this week, attached please find an Excel (.xls) format document that combines all the ccNSO, GNSO and other research input to date regarding the existing and planned applications of geographic regions in the ICANN community. Perhaps in the last several weeks some of you may have identified other applications that can be added to the list? In addition to discussing the research to date, the other major agenda item of your meeting will undoubtedly be to discuss Board feedback on the draft charter document. In sum the three specific issues raised with respect to the document are as follows: (1) "The composition of the WG should consider 2 members nominated by the NRO. It should be clear that, according to the ASO MOU, the ASO is the NRO acting as the ASO. If the NRO doesn't want to nominate, that's its choice. The NRO situation, can not be compared with the SSAC and RSSAC, which have no regional structure at all." (2) "In addition, the number of GAC appointees to the WG should be clearly specified." (3) "Finally, it should be made clear that this WG is not, ex officio, the same one that prepared the proposal." Based on the nature of the issues, I think they can be resolved without the need for further public comment. I'm sure the Chair would be delighted to entertain additional agenda suggestions. Looking forward to hearing you all on the call. Best regards, Rob Hoggarth Attachment:
