RE: [gnso-osc-csg] Minority Report

[Victoria McEvedy <victoria@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Chair and WG Team,



By request and with the benefit of extra time, SS and I have condensed our 
Minority Report-see final attached.



We make only the following enumerated Minority Recommendation which may be 
employed in the section of the WG report for Minority Recommendations.





1. We recommend the GNSO adopt a simple standard pre-fabricated Constituency 
structure and procedure(s) based on one member one vote and applicable to all 
Constituencies--with a menu/pull down list of accepted variations (to be kept 
to an absolute minimum). We recommend a simple standard meeting and committee 
procedure applying to all Constituencies. We recommend a standard handbook on 
Constituency practice and procedure. We recommend that this be translated into 
the 5 UN languages.





Regards,







Victoria McEvedy

Chuck,
my reference to a executive summary was for the minority report itself.
Victora has agreed to send a new version of the document so I suggest waiting 
for it and then review how to move forward.

Olga

Olga,



Please note that I was not suggesting that this be included in the Executive 
Summary because I think it would be too long for that, but it could be 
referenced in the executive summary just like the minority report.

Hi,
as a general comment, I find useful those executive summaries that are included 
as first parts in long documents.
in this case such a summary may help understanding a document which is long and 
also for the future reference it may result useful.
I also understand that those who sent the minority report do not want it edited.
Victoria, SS, would you consider preparing yourselves a summary that could help 
the general understanding of the minority report?
Are there other suggestions from our working team on this regard?
Thanks and regards
Olga

My objection remains ---you propose extraction and in effect 
trunciation/editing. That is not acceptable. There are no word limits for 
Minority Reports nor style formalities and we are entitled to submit it in the 
form of our choice. I'm sorry if you think it too long or would have preferred 
a different approach. We want our report read in full and taken as is. We are 
not submitting enumerated minority recomendations.

You misunderstand Victoria.  I am not suggesting that the minority report 
should not be referenced as submitted or that any changes should be made to 
your report.  I am suggesting an additional document be prepared that would 
make it very easy for the WT, the OSC and the Council to compare your 
recommendations to those in the WT  report in a concise and accurate manner.  
For me this would make it much easier for me to simply see where the actual 
variations between the two recommendations are and whether they are justifiable 
in my view or need additional consideration.  In my opinion, your document does 
not do that for several reasons: 1) it is very long and hence many who are not 
close to this issue will not read it thoroughly; 2) it does not concisely list 
your recommendations but instead incorporates them in the midst of lots of 
background and your justification; 3) it does not accurately list all of the WT 
final recommendations or discuss other related GNSO requirements.

I would like to say and I think SS would agree that we would prefer this task 
not be undertaken and ask that the minority report be submitted just as it is 
to be read in full---and not extracted from or condensed or edited or 
trunciated in anyway whatsoever. Thank you. Victoria

Olga,



After having read the minority report, I would like to make a suggestion that I 
think would be beneficial to the CSG WT as we finalize our work, to the OSC 
when they review our final report, and to the Council when they take action on 
the recommendations that are sent forward by the OSC.  I suggest that Julie (if 
possible) prepare a complete and concise table that lists the recommendations 
in the minority report with the corresponding recommendation from the WT report 
as applicable.  To the extent possible:

*         Recommendations should be quoted verbatim from the applicable 
document if that can be done briefly.

*         In cases where recommendations include multiple parts, they should be 
broken out in those separate parts if that makes it easier to compare the 
elements.

*         Document references should be included for all recommendations from 
both documents to make it easy for anyone to go to the documents and read the 
full text (e.g., Section #, Page #, Line # as appropriate).

*         The comparison table should not include any rationale for 
recommendations but readers should be encourage to read the full text; this 
will hopefully allow readers to compare the recommendations on their face value 
and make their own analysis and form their own questions.

I fully understand that this is a time consuming task for Julie, but I strongly 
believe that it will save lots of time for everyone involved as the 
recommendations move forward through the next steps of the process.



I welcome other thoughts on this.



Chuck

Please find attached by way of submission a Joint Minority Report by SS

Claudio,
thanks for your comments and suggestions.
I agree with them.
Regards
Olga

2010/5/10 Claudio Di Gangi <cdigangi@xxxxxxxx<mailto:cdigangi@xxxxxxxx>>

Olga,



Thank you. Please see the attached red-line, where I made three edits.



One covers a change we agreed to on a work team call: to delete the Term limit 
for GNSO Councilors within this document.



The reason is because term limits for Councilors are already specified in the 
ICANN Bylaws, so we wanted to avoid confusion with those provisions. For 
reference, I think Michael was chairing that particular work team call.



My other two edits are summarized below, and are non-substantive.



1.      I added "for GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies" to the title 
of the document so it is more clear as to where this applies.



2.      I made an edit to clarify a sentence in the background section that I 
found vague because it referred to Groups existing within the "GNSO Council", 
not the broader GNSO. This sentence now reads:



"When the BGC WG made its initial recommendations, the concept of Stakeholder 
Groups (SGs) as part of the GNSO structure had not yet been implemented.  Since 
then SGs have been implemented within the GNSO structure along with 
Constituencies."



Subject to the correction identified above, I am OK approving this document. 
Thanks to all for their time & hard work on the effort.
