As the SCI will be tasked with reviewing the overall PDP in due time, maybe an alternative approach would be to start collecting topics, like this one, that would feed into the overall review of the GNSO PDP when the SCI decides to kick that off? For example, the SCI could create a wiki page for this purpose where members of the SCI, but also other community members could raise issues that they feel would need to be considered as part of this overall review. Also, by pushing this issue a bit further down the tracks, it is also likely that the SCI will have some concrete data points by reviewing how this has been handled by the GNSO Council as there are now two PDPs underway that have been requested by the Board, in order to determine whether additional procedures or guidance is required. This issue may benefit from a more holistic approach instead of trying to shoehorn it into the issue of suspension of a PDP (which has been clarified to mean for a defined time period following which it would continue again). Just a suggestion.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Marika</div><div><br></div><span id="yiv1495006208OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="border-bottom-width: medium; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-color: initial; text-align: left; border-left-width: medium; border-left-style: none; border-left-color: initial; padding-bottom: 0in; padding-left: 0in; padding-right: 0in; color: black; font-size: 11pt; border-top-color: rgb(181, 196, 223); border-top-width: 1pt; border-top-style: solid; border-right-width: medium; border-right-style: none; border-right-color: initial; padding-top: 3pt; font-family: Calibri; "><span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold;">From: </span><Aikman-Scalese>, Anne <<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:AAikman@xxxxxxxxx"; target="_blank" href="mailto:AAikman@xxxxxxxxx";>AAikman@xxxxxxxxx</a>><br><span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold;">Date: </span>Wednesday 12 December 2012 18:45<br><span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold;">To: </span>Julie Hedlund <<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:julie.hedlund@xxxxxxxxx"; target="_blank" href="mailto:julie.hedlund@xxxxxxxxx";>julie.hedlund@xxxxxxxxx</a>>, Alain Berranger <<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:alain.berranger@xxxxxxxxx"; target="_blank" href="mailto:alain.berranger@xxxxxxxxx";>alain.berranger@xxxxxxxxx</a>>, "<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:KnobenW@xxxxxxxxxx"; target="_blank" href="mailto:KnobenW@xxxxxxxxxx";>KnobenW@xxxxxxxxxx</a>" <<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:KnobenW@xxxxxxxxxx"; target="_blank" href="mailto:KnobenW@xxxxxxxxxx";>KnobenW@xxxxxxxxxx</a>><br><span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold;">Cc: </span>Avri Doria <<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:avri@xxxxxxx"; target="_blank" href="mailto:avri@xxxxxxx";>avri@xxxxxxx</a>>, "<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:gnso-improvem-impl-sc@xxxxxxxxx"; target="_blank" href="mailto:gnso-improvem-impl-sc@xxxxxxxxx";>gnso-improvem-impl-sc@xxxxxxxxx</a>" <<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:gnso-improvem-impl-sc@xxxxxxxxx"; target="_blank" href="mailto:gnso-improvem-impl-sc@xxxxxxxxx";>gnso-improvem-impl-sc@xxxxxxxxx</a>><br><span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold;">Subject: </span>RE: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] FOR REVIEW: Suspending a PDP--Proposed Revised Footnote<br></div><div><br></div><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="yiv1495006208917291623-11122012"><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial">Thank you, Wolf. I am still trying to come up with language that addresses this concern but that does not create a need for a new public comment period. It almost sounds as though Marika was saying that it is implicit that this decision is subject to Board review and communication. If that is the case, I would propose we substitute "subject to Board review" in place of "until further notice" in the footnote. It does seem to me, however, that the whole issue of organizational effectiveness is an appropriate topic for SCI. I noted that in the GNSO agenda that was published, an issue was raised as to how to respond to a GAC letter asking why the GNSO had initiated a PDP with respect to a topic that the GAC viewed as simple to implement. </font></span></div><div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="yiv1495006208917291623-11122012"><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial"></font></span> </div><div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="yiv1495006208917291623-11122012"><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial">It seems to me that if suspension occurs, the GNSO should be required to provide a full report of positions and/or reasons for suspension to the Board in the case where the Board has asked for Answers or for an Issue Report that resulted in a GNSO PDP or initiated the PDP itself pursuant to the ByLaws. The example Marika gave was Vertical Integration. The discipline of preparing such a report is that the issues and positions are clarifed for the Board and that allows for them to move forward with a decision or else to decide to wait until the suspension lifts. My own view is that suspension should not occur until such a report is finalized. If factions within the PDP can't agree on the content of such a final report, then more than one report could issue.</font></span></div><div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="yiv1495006208917291623-11122012"><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial"></font></span> </div><div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="yiv1495006208917291623-11122012"><div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="yiv1495006208917291623-11122012"><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial">I think SCI has an opportunity here to help encourage effective organizational behavior among the Board, the GAC, and the GNSO so that deadlocks do not occur. I know there is history with respect to the termination of a WhoIs PDP back in 2007. I also know there is pressure on ICANN to work effectively from outside organizations that may want control of the Internet. It seems to me that SCI should not be saying "What the Board does when the GNSO suspends is none of our business." Our business is to evaluate and recommend Improvements to the process when asked to do so. </font></span></div></span></div><div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="yiv1495006208917291623-11122012"><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial"></font></span> </div><div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="yiv1495006208917291623-11122012"><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial">Anne</font></span></div><div> </div><div class="yiv1495006208Section1"><img hspace="12" align="left" src="cid:2.1753396079@web161005.mail.bf1.yahoo.com" width="75" height="78"><b style=""><span style="color: black; font-size: 7.5pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; ">Anne E.
