[gnso-consensus-wg] First Draft Consensus Group Report - Responses Please By 1900PDT-300UTC
All: Attached please find the draft package for submission later today. To try to anticipate some of the potential questions you may have ....... 1. The summary document is very brief. Some would note the old adage that the shorter the document the more work went into it and that is true of this. Every time I attempted to offer a broader or deeper explanation I found language that was going to be problematic for at least one or two of you - believe me, by now I'm familiar with most of the land mines and/or sensitivities. Please resist the temptation during your edits to add too much language. For better or worse I hope this draft achieves the appropriate common denominator, but all comments and thoughts are expected and welcome. 2. There are a number of areas you'll note I placed in red underline text: * Because I wasn't sure where we ended up on the discussion of principles, I opted to include those that seemed remain relevant at the end of the snapshot (Attachment A). The location at the end of the draft was a practical decision because given the way they were originally drafted they seems awkward at the beginning of the document and, more importantly, because the final snapshot version Jon provided seemed to do a good job incorporating a lot of Philip's original text and thoughts Nevertheless, as a compromise approach I chose to include them at the end to reinforce the themes set forth in the snapshot. so that Board members would get a good sense of your general approach to the effort. * Toward the end of your email deliberations, Alan mentioned the USER-Registrant issue and Jon noted that he had missed it in the snapshot. I added some language at the end of 2.a.ii. about that and need a show of hands whether it should remain and, if so, if that is the correct/appropriate language. * There was some discussion toward the end of the email deliberations about dropping item 4 g. completely. I've marked the section with red underlined text and need another show of hands about whether to keep the section in the document. * Finally, in Attachment B, I just wanted to flag for you my thoughts about how to incorporate your separate statements, if any. Sorry this is out a little later than originally planned. The original timeline anticipated an extended seven hour review period. So the new deadline will now be 1900PDT/300UTC. Please let me know asap if there is a problem with that. If I can get all edits/comments in earlier than 1900 PD , we may have a chance for another editing round. Thanks, RobH Attachment:
