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.

Here are the  texts that relate to staff roles as discussed today.  The Chair 
of the  PPSC Working Group Work Team is J. Scott Evans.   I will produce  notes 
from this call as well as action items, that I will send out not later  than

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.
