RE: [gnso-osc-csg] Uniformity

[Claudio Di Gangi <cdigangi@xxxxxxxx>]

Victoria,

Thanks for this. I have the following observations:

the text you quote, highlights the following points:

1. GNSO improvements recommendations should apply equally across all groups in 
the GNSO
2. the operating procedures should reflect common agreed upon principles

I see nothing in the text that suggests that the BGC was suggesting that all 
GNSO Groups follow all the same organizational rules, operating procedures and 
representational structures.

Also, I disagree that Zahid violated any rules or did anything wrong by raising 
this question.

Have a nice weekend.

Claudio

Apologies for the short response earlier. Zahid I refer you to the BGC Report:

The BGC Report at p.43 mandated the development of the following:

 1.  “…constituency-developed participation rules for all constituencies that 
encourage openness, transparency and accountability. The rules must adhere to 
the following  principles..”
 2.  “..clear operating principles for each constituency to ensure that all 
constituencies function in a representative, open, transparent and democratic 
manner. Operating procedures adopted by constituencies should reflect common 
principles and follow these guidelines:”[1]
The BGC summarized this in the following action item at p.46: “Proposed Action 
Item: The Board requests: (i) The GNSO constituencies, with assistance from 
Staff as needed, to develop a set of participation rules and operating 
procedures, consistent with the principles outlined above, which all 
constituencies should abide by. The ICANN Board should ask the constituencies 
to develop and publicize common principles within six months; and to implement 
operating rules and procedures consistent with those principles at that time.”

Zahid, this WG spent some 6 months on these issues and I’m afraid I do believe 
there are rules about re-opening old ground. We spent months on literal 
approaches to the BGC.

Zahid ---I suggest you read all the old minutes and transcript.

Just listening to the audio of the call I missed. Could someone point out to me 
where the board used the word uniformity in the boards approval of the 
improvements. Having difficulty to find it.
