[gnso-ccwg-dt] RE: For your review: revised draft charter
Thanks Becky, John and Mary for the quick turn-around on this. Here is my feedback. Is there a reason why we refer to '(Co-)Chairs' throughout the charter. Why not call them 'Co-Chairs'? Is it correct to assume that the Co-Chairs will be appointed from the Members of the WG, in other words, they would be allowed to vote? It might be good to clarify this. In my opinion, if the co-chairs represent their SO or AC, then they should be allowed to vote by simply taking off their co-chair hast when doing so; otherwise, the SO/AC would lose one of their voices when voting occurs. On the other hand, if the co-chairs are expected to serve specifically in a completely neutral capacity, then they would not need to vote; in such a case though, I don't think they should be included in the Minimum and Maximum Member numbers. I think it would be helpful to clarify these issues in the charter. Am I correct in assuming that Observers need to be appointed just like Members? If so, the following statement is fine: "Each of the participating SOs and ACs shall appoint Participants to the WG in accordance with their own rules and procedures." If not (i.e., if Observers may participate without being appointed by their SO/AC), then this probably should be changed to "Each of the participating SOs and ACs shall appoint Members to the WG in accordance with their own rules and procedures." Regarding SOIs the charter says: "Participants from SOs or ACs for which a Statement of Interest is required for participation in a WG shall submit an SOI in accordance with the rules applicable to that SO/AC (if any)." This seems to imply that an SOI is not required if the applicable SO/AC doesn't require one. I think an SOI should be required by all WG Participants and I assume that that is what is intended. Here's some possible rewording to make it clear: "All Participants must submit a Statement of Interest for participation in the WG. Participants from SOs or ACs for which a Statement of Interest is required for participation in a WG shall submit an SOI in accordance with the rules applicable to that SO/AC (if any); others shall submit an SOI that provides comparable information according to the rules of one of the SO/ACs for which SOIs are required."
