AW: [gnso-osc-ops] Conflicting Language on Staff Roles

[<KnobenW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all.
 
I was referring to para 2.2 "Working Group Member Roles and
Responsibilities" of the draft WG guidelines where "Standard" WG roles
are described.
For staff it says:
*        Staff - ICANN Staff performs the following two basic functions
for any WG, namely secretariat (fundamentally a support function
covering logistics) and policy liaison (a support function providing WG
assistance in a neutral manner, including drafting, if required, which
should reflect faithfully the deliberations of the Working Group). In
addition, ICANN Staff may perform the following distinct roles for a WG
as requested and appropriate:  .......

 

The SOI/DOI procedures should be consistent with this description.

Chair of the PPSC Working Group Work Team is J. Scott Evans.   I will

GNSO Working Group Guidelines

6.1.4 Other Important Roles

*     ICANN Staff - the following distinct Staff roles may be assigned
to a WG:

o  Expertise (technical, legal, economic, etc.) 

o  Secretariat (fundamentally a support function covering both logistics
and drafting assistance in a neutral manner reflecting faithfully the
deliberations of the Working Group) 

o  Operational/Implementation (facilitation with the framework of
existing policies and rules) 



*       Scoping (for policy matters, internal role of the General
Counsel, but possibly distinct, guaranteeing respect of the procedures
and competencies of the different structures) 



SOI/DOI Procedures

5.2.3. Exemptions

ICANN staff assigned to support a GNSO Group are expected to work in the
interests of ICANN and the broader interests of the Internet community
and not for any other purpose or interests.  ICANN staff are therefore
exempted from providing separate Statements of Interest as defined in
Paragraph 5.1.
