Re: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Revised SCI - PDP Manual
Anne and Ron, As I mentioned in the chat room today, under the GNSO Improvements Process, the PDP-WT (see https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoppsc/PDP-WT+Home), as part of the Policy Process Steering Committee (PPSC), was tasked with "reviewing the existing PDP in the Bylaws and recommending changes to the community and Council based on an open community WG approach to the deliberative process." The WT produced a Final Report in September 2011 -- https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/9405500/PDP-WT+Updated+Fina l+Report+-+FINAL+-+28+September+2011.pdf?version=2&modificationDate=13172015 88000 that included the PDP Manual. The PDP Manual was adopted and is incorporated into the GNSO Operating Procedures as Annex 2 of the Procedures. Under its original charter, the SCI "will be responsible for reviewing and assessing the effective functioning of recommendations provided by the Operational Steering Committee (OSC), Policy Process Steering Committee (PPSC) and Policy Development Process Work Team (PDP-WT) and approved by the GNSO Council." As the PPSC and PDP-WT created the PDP Manual, it would appear to be in scope for the SCI to consider requests for changes to the PDP Manual along the lines stipulated in the Charter, as follows: * On request for those recommendations that have been identified to present immediate problems * On a periodic timescale for all recommendations in order to identify possible issues and/or improvements (subject to a clear definition by the SCI on which recommendations should be reviewed) I hope this is helpful.

This strikes me as a very large task that someone thinks is "in-scope" and could affect how we treat this Charter issue. Anne Anne E.

In that regard, I would also welcome a deeper discussion on the issue that Mikey raised on the call, i.e., the substantive change from polishing implementation issues from the last GNSO review versus continuing to do this work on issues that arise within the Council or from Working Groups. I understand from the BC and other constituencies, as well as from the GNSO Chair, that there is an expectation that the SCI continue to serve but I personally am agnostic. Having said that, those of us who have been on the SCI for some time will also recognize that we have been called on to deal with more current issues than those that came from implementation.
