[gnso-improvem-impl-sc] is anything happeing

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Just got back from the incredibly intense IGF weeks and am trying to catch up 
of my ICANN responsibilities.

I remember that I signed up for this group.  I was quite please we had started 
this group which I assumed would be responsible for oversight of the many 
implementation facets of the improvement effort the GNSO has been involved in.

I see stuff being implemented, but saw nothing from this group and was 
wondering if perhaps I had just lost track.

Are we on? Are we functioning? do we have a group, a charter, a structure ....

Will be be reviewing the staff's implementation plans before they are actually 
deployed so we can be sure the meet both the letter and spirit of the policy 
changes the council has been approving.

Also I am expecting that in the act of implementing, various inconsistencies 
and other anomalies will occur.  At some point the OSC and PPSC will declare 
themselves done with the work of original policy planning and the task would 
fall to this group to recommend any policy changes needed to fix those 
anomalies (or at least that is how I understood it).  I assume that is what 
this group will be doing and from the motion, which I supported the NCSG 
council members voting for, I figure that is what the council approved.

But nothing has happened yet, and the implementation, like practices and forms 
for proxy voting, are starting to roll out without this group having taken a 
look at the plans to understand their conformance with the policy 
recommendations.

As I say, maybe have has my mind was elsewhere and I not noticed, if so someone 
please forgive me and fill me in.

thanks
a.
