Subject: [gnso-osc] OSC Draft Document Holiday Package - Revised Draft
Charters, Invitation and New Motion


Dear OSC Members:

Attached please find a package of six (6) draft documents which
encompass the latest versions of the OSC Charter, the three OSC Work
Team Charters, the Invitation/Announcement to join work teams and a
proposed motion for the 8 January 2009 GNSO Council meeting. The
documents in this package reflect discussions during today's
meeting/call and should supersede previous draft versions of the
documents. Most of the changes are editorial and formatting in nature,
but all docs - particularly the new draft motion document - are worth
some review. Each document (and any changes from its previous version)
is described below:

1.  Draft OSC Charter: 

This red-lined version reflects the addition of hyperlinks connecting
readers to the work team charters on the wiki and recognition that the
committee has integrated standard work team and membership rules in the
work team charters. It also still includes the minor committee expansion
concept (work team chairs) proposed by Wolf-Ulrich.

2.  Draft Motion:

With the failure of the "informational-approval" approach to the GNSO
Council, staff was instructed to draft a motion seeking Council approval
of the OSC Charter.  This draft violates the Philip Sheppard "pithy"
rule, but I erred on the side of over-inclusiveness recognizing that it
is easier to take out language rather than add it.  Comments and edits
are welcomed. The intention is for Chuck to make the motion  approve the
charter and Olga will second it.

3.  Work Team Charters (3 docs):

Clean versions of the three work team charters are all attached. They
reflect discussions on today's call as noted in Chuck's meeting report.
The modifications largely consist of format changes and edits to more
clearly describe the context of the work team efforts. Several
hyperlinks have also been added to the documents to help readers access
the OSC and PPSC wikis.

4.  Work Team Invitation/Announcement:

FYI, this red-lined document reflects some final editorial changes that
fix format and grammar issues in the document.  You'll also note that a
single point of contact - the GNSO Secretariat email address - has been
established for all interested work team volunteers. Chuck is
coordinating with the PPSC and hopes to circulate the invite as soon as
practicable.


Versions of all these documents can be found on the OSC wiki workspace -
https://st.icann.org/icann-osc/index.cgi?operations_steering_committee_o
sc.

Thank you all for your continuing contributions to this effort.  Happy
holidays!

        My notes from today's OSC meeting are highlighted in the
attached copy of the agenda. Please be aware that the meeting was mostly
logistical in nature.  Some changes were decided regarding the draft
team charters and the work team invitation message, but I believe they
were nonmaterial.  It is important that everyone review the meeting
notes and the documents that will be subsequently sent to the OSC list
and posted to the OSC wiki, to make sure that you agree in terms of
whether or not you have any concerns regarding the changes made.  In the
meantime, the plan is to proceed, assuming the documents are approved by
the OSC.
        
        There are a lot of action items, mostly for Staff and Chuck, all
of which are included in the notes.
        
        Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all,
