Thanks, Lars.

And to new friends and old colleagues (from IRTP A - C), I would gladly offer 
to serve as chair again for this PDP WG.  But will also happily step aside if 
there other interested candidates.

Thanks--

J.

Dear all,

Thank you again for joining the IRTP Part D Working Group and for participating 
in the doodle. The poll was a real nail-biter. We have decided to schedule the 
weekly calls for Mondays 16.00 UCT as this was the first of the preferred 
times. I hope that even those who indicated that this time does not suit them 
will be able to join the calls as frequently as their other commitments may 
permit. Of course we can always review the meeting time if/when necessary.

Please note that there will be three weeks in which, due to day-light saving, 
the time difference between the North America and Europe will be out of synch 
as North America 'springs forward' on 10 March and Europe on 31 March. Judging 
by the doodle, it might be easiest if we maintain 16.00 UTC for the meetings of 
11, 18, 25 March. The North American meeting times will thus change in those 
three weeks to 9am PST and 12 noon EST – as of 1 April we will adjust to 15.00 
UCT meaning that all goes back to as it was (8am PST and 11am EST). I realize 
this might be rather confusing and I will maker sure to send out reminder 
emails with the various local times for those three weeks.


As no GNSO Council liaison has been appointed yet for this group to take the 
lead for this first meeting, I've taken the liberty to put together a proposed 
agenda for the first meeting, based on the requirements outlined in the GNSO 
Working Group Guidelines:

Proposed Agenda – IRTP Part D Working Group Meeting

  1.  Roll Call / Statements of Interest
  2.  Introductions – members of the WG are invited to share information 
regarding interests, backgrounds, skills, experience especially as related to 
any requirements in the Charter
  3.  Principles of transparency and openness
  4.  Election of WG Leaders – Normally a Chair will be selected at the first 
meeting of the WG. A Working Group may elect to have co-chars, vice-chairs. 
Once selected, the Working Group Chair will need to be confirmed by the GNSO 
Council.
  5.  Items for review: WG Charter, Working Group Guidelines, IRTP Part D Issue 
Report, GNSO Policy Development Process
  6.  Development of work plan: it is required that WGs develop a work plan 
that outlines the necessary steps and expected timing in order to achieve the 
milestones set out in the WG Charter
  7.  Confirmation of next meeting / next steps

As the election of a WG Chair is expected to take place during the first 
meeting, volunteers are encouraged to express their interest ahead of the 
meeting.

In addition, you will find attached the GNSP guidelines for Working Groups  and 
in this context please also see this link to the PDP process 
http://gnso.icann.org/en/basics/pdp-process.htm. For those less familiar with 
the Policy you might find the training session useful that James provided for 
the previous IRTP Part C,
