RE: [gnso-iocrc-dt] Re: [council] Initiation of IGO/INGO Protection PDP

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been silent for a week to see how this pans out, but I have to say that 
I agree with Chuck and Alan.  The way I see it, now that a PDP has been 
initiated, there is only 1 recommendation for the council to consider as a 
result of the DT work, and that is whether or not to recommend the "moratorium" 
on the IOC and RCRC marks.  As this is new gTLD implementation, I do not 
believe that PDP is necessary for the DT to make this recommendation (or not) 
to the Council.  Nor is a PDP needed for the Council to recommend this (or not) 
to the Board.

So, unless anyone disagrees, once the comment period ends, we will convene one 
last meeting to see whether the comments change anyone's views on the 
moratorium.

Please let me know if you think I am missing something here.

Margie,

I had two concerns: 1) timing & 2) ability of the new WG to respond quickly in 
responding to the public comment period.  Regarding timing, if the new WG is 
formed and ready to go by the end of the reply period, that would likely 
resolve most of my concerns in that regard.  But even if that is the case, if 
there are lots of new participants in the new WG, they will need to be brought 
up to speed so it might take longer to respond to the public comments; maybe 
that would be okay but I am not sure.  In my opinion, whatever works best for 
minimizing the total time needed to get the PDP work done as quick as possible 
is the best way to go.

Dear Chuck & Alan,

I am not sure why the PDP and the DT couldn't be blended at this point.    
There has been criticism of the work of the drafting team because it was viewed 
by some as not following the proper process.   Under the flexibility of the new 
PDP rules,  this PDP could certainly do the work of analyzing the public 
comment, and developing the response to the Board request for the Council to 
consider by the deadline.   The issues are the same, so it would seem redundant 
to have two groups working on this topic simultaneously.

We envision that the two sub-teams work in parallel, and would not be mutually 
exclusive.  Does this address your & Alan's concerns?

All the best,
Margie

I think I agree with Alan because the DT could more readily analyze the public 
comments and suggest modifications to the DT recommendations.  Moreover, the DT 
work could  be done concurrently with the formation of the PDP WG.  I am open 
to further discussion on this.

My inclination is to disagree on the last point. Sub-group A is likely to be 
superset of the DT (perhaps a large one) and I think the original DT should do 
the analysis and comments of the PC input (along with any changes to the 
recommendations of needed).

the remaining IOC/RCRC DT efforts, after the close of the public comment 
period, will be addressed by sub-group A of the PDP WG mentioned above.
