[gnso-improvem-impl-sc] RE: meeting

["Aikman-Scalese, Anne" <AAikman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Wolf,
Per the discussion in Singapore, I am wondering whether the Final Report from 
the Policy Development Process Working Group to the GNSO is a matter for 
consideration by SCI.  ICANN staff opined that SCI should not take this up 
until after the ICANN Board had approved it.  However, at that point, it seems 
to me that it would take another Board resolution for any recommendations made 
by SCI to be adopted by the GNSO and then by the Board.

I may not understand how the SCI is supposed to work, but had understood its 
function to be one of advising the GNSO with respect to recommendations made to 
it.  If a recommendation is delayed until after ICANN Board approval, it would 
seem the SCI may be less effective in its advisory role to the GNSO.

Perhaps "after the fact" review of recommendations to the GNSO is what was 
intended.

Thank you,
Anne

Subject: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] meeting


Dear SCI colleagues,

As a result of our last F2F meeting in Singapore we've put our work more or 
less on hold by waiting for input regarding issues raised by the GNSO council 
or a group chartered by the council: no issue raised = no work - which could 
make us happy...

At the moment I personally don't see a real issue at the table which would 
force us to hold the FSF meeting in Dakar still scheduled on Sunday morning. So 
I've asked Glen to remove it from the GNSO schedule.

I'll provide a short report to the council explaining the SCI status and remind 
them about the possibility of raising issues for consideration with the SCI. 
This message could also be sent to the SGs and Constituencies.

In addition I think we could now follow the idea from the Singapore meeting of 
asking WGs or other affected parties about their experience with the new WG 
procedures. A framework or list of questions can be developed after the Dakar 
meeting for that purpose, and I'll take initiative on that.

I hope to see many of you in Dakar.

Kind regards
Wolf-Ulrich
