RE: [gnso-osc-csg] OSC-CSG Work Team Work Plan Task 1, Subtask 1

["Victoria McEvedy" <victoria@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As I understand it is exactly our task to recommend "how individuals or 
organizations should participate in constituencies." 

"Recommendations considered from the BGC WG Report include:

* Enhance existing constituencies by developing recommendations on the 
following:

o Develop a set of top-level participation guidelines based on the principles 
as defined in the GNSO recommendations, while recognizing differences between 
constituencies and that one size may not fit all constituencies.

Membership eligibility (aka admission templates) to my mind is far too narrow 
to encompass issues of "constituency structure: inclusiveness, effectiveness 
and efficiency" see the BGC report and our own charter. 

 

Perhaps we need to discuss on our call as we do seem to be going round the 
houses here.

I think that Cuck´s proposal sunds more clear.
what do others think?

Do we really mean 'participation' or should we be talking about membership 
eligibility?  For example:

 

1. Develop guidlines, rules or principles for constituency membership in 
stakeholder groups, and

2. Develop guidelines, rules or principles for membership in constituencies.

 

I am not sure it is our task to recommenda how constituencies should 
participate in SGs or for that matter how individuals or organizations should 
participate in constituencies, but I believe the Board definitely want 
reasonably open membership for SGs and constituencies.

        Dear Team,

         

        After re-reading the thread, I believe I better understand the text. 
Perhaps the following small tweak makes the language more clear:

         

        "1. Develop guidance, rules or principles for participation for 
constituencies across stakeholder groups." and 

        "2. Develop guidance, rules or principles for participation for members 
in a constituency. " 

         

        Claudio

        Neutral is fine.  I thought 'new' was being added when maybe the red 
meant deleted.  My mistake.

                Victoria I understood your edits were to remove the "new" and 
just make the statements neutral as to either new or existing constituencies?  
Chuck do you mean to more specific? Rather than neutral maybe it should just 
read as follows:

                 

                "1. Develop guidance, rules or principles for participation in 
a new or existing constituency for each stakeholder group." and 

                "2. Develop guidance, rules or principles for participation for 
new or existing members in a constituency. "

                Please note that our tasks with regard to constituency 
operations relates to both existing and new constituencies.  So to the extent 
that the new wording eliminates existing constituencies, I don't think it 
works.  But maybe I am misunderstanding something.  I strongly believe that we 
seriously need to discuss this in our meeting and that that will be much more 
effective.

support the language with her edit.

Task 1, Subtask 1

                         

                        As to the language issue, I do think we should discuss 
on our call the carve out issue first -ie are there any aspects of the BGC's 
report and recommendations on constituency structure: inclusiveness, 
effectiveness and efficiency (see pages 39-46) that anyone considers are not in 
our remit? If so why? 

                         

                        I am happy with the changes below -with the deletion of 
the words NEW in each case -as our recommendations will apply to existing 
constituencies just as to new ones. 

                         

                        I would like to suggest a way to combine these 
recommendations, whereby we adopt the recommendation made by S.S., but keep the 
existing item 1, as suggested by Olga and Michael, and also change the text as 
suggested by Victoria.  Here is the suggested text: 

                         

                        "1. Develop guidance, rules or principles for 
participation in a new constituency for each stakeholder group." and 

                        "2. Develop guidance, rules or principles for 
participation for new members in a constituency. "

Work Plan Task 1, Subtask 1

                                Dear Work Team Members,

                                 

                                We have had a very helpful discussion on the 
email list that has produced several recommendations to amend the language in 
Task 1, Subtask 1, of our work plan.  Here are the recommendations:

                                 

                                1.  S.S. recommends changing: 

                                 

                                "1.  Develop guidelines for defining admission 
decision procedures for a new constituency for each stakeholder group."  to: 

                                "1.  Develop guidelines for defining admission 
decision procedures for a new member for each constituency."

                                 

                                2.  Victoria noted that the language she 
suggested and that we all agreed  to was: 

                                 

                                "Develop guidance, rules or principles for 
participation..." to replace "template for admission decision procedures..." 

                                 

                                3.  Olga and Michael suggested that there could 
be two items -- a revised item 1 and a new item 2 as follows: 

                                 

                                "1.  Develop guidelines for defining admission 
decision procedures for a new constituency to a stakeholder group." and 

                                "2. Develop guidelines for defining admission 
decision procedures for a new member for each constituency."  

                                 

                                I would like to suggest a way to combine these 
recommendations, whereby we adopt the recommendation made by S.S., but keep the 
existing item 1, as suggested by Olga and Michael, and also change the text as 
suggested by Victoria.  Here is the suggested text: 

                                 

                                "1. Develop guidance, rules or principles for 
participation in a new constituency for each stakeholder group." and 

                                "2. Develop guidance, rules or principles for 
participation for new members in a constituency. " 

                                 

                                I welcome your comments and suggestions.  Thank 
you.
