Dear Victoria,

Please do suggest language.  Staff language was merely a suggestion.

Best,

Julie

Thank you Julie.

The obvious issue with that language is that it renders every single 
recommendation entirely optional and non-voluntary—and the whole exercise 
nothing more than advisory or for reference—despite the fact that after much 
discussion particular recommendations were agreed by the majority as “must” 
recommendations and the balance ‘should’ recommendations.

It’s currently a motion for each group to carry on as these please and a 
recommendation for the status quo.  I don’t think that’s an acceptable outcome 
after our 18 months of work.

I would suggest that the recommendations should be accepted as the ‘musts’ or 
‘shoulds’ as recommended in each case.

I would be happy to provide some language ---or perhaps the Staff would like to 
do that in the first instance.

Best,

Dear Victoria,

Staff included that suggested language for consideration in the motion since 
Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups may need to amend their charters based on 
the recommendations in the report.

Thanks,
Julie

Dear WT,

Could someone explain what “for evaluation in amending their charters, as 
appropriate” means? What is the origin of this language?

Thank you and regards,

Dear Olga,

Here is a draft motion for you to consider.  Please feel free to edit it, of 
course.  Let me know if I can help in any way.

Best regards,

DRAFT RESOLUTION:  Final Council Action on GCOT & CSG Deliverables

WHEREAS, the GNSO Council, at its 23 June 2010 meeting in Brussels, accepted a 
set of deliverables submitted by the GNSO Council Operations Work Team (GCOT) 
<https://st.icann.org/icann-osc/index.cgi?gnso_operations_team>  and the

<http://forum.icann.org/lists/gcot-csg-recommendations/msg00001.html> has been 
published;
WHEREAS, the GNSO Council agreed to take action on the these deliverables as 
soon as possible after the end of the public comment period;

WHEREAS, there were no public comments submitted that would amend any of the 
GCOT or CSG-WT recommendations;

NOW, BE IT THEREFORE:

RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council approves the following set of GCOT documents, 
without further modification, and directs Staff to publish a new version of the 
GNSO Operating Procedures (GOP) containing these sections and chapters:
·         Section 2.1-Council Member Term Limits

<http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/draft-csg-recommendations-task-27may10-en.pdf>
Recommendations on a GNSO Database of Community Members 
<http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/draft-csg-recommendations-task-27may10-en.pdf>

Council hereby discharges the GCOT with its gratitude and appreciation for the 
team’s dedication, commitment, and thoughtful recommendations.

Sounds good.  Hopefully a Councilor will make the motion and another Councilor 
on the WT will second it.

Dear Work Team members,

The public comment forum on the Task 1 recommendations ended yesterday.  There 
was only one comment and it was not substantive.  I have produced a summary and 
analysis that is available here: 
http://forum.icann.org/lists/gcot-csg-recommendations/msg00001.html.  In 
particular, the comment did not address the Work Team’s report.  It related to 
the ICANN comment process in general.

The next step is for the GNSO Council to approve the report.  Staff will 
prepare a draft motion for consideration.

Best regards,

Julie
