[gnso-osc] Another Attempt at a Final Response to the CCT
OSC Members: In the interest of continuing to make progress on the CCT letter, I reinserted paragraph 4(a) and, following Chuck's original suggestion, noted that the OSC is not unanimous on this recommendation (see below). All other edits were accepted and comments removed (clean version attached). For ease of reference, my suggested modification to 4(a) follows... is this language be acceptable to everyone? a) Executive Summary Recommendations (last bullet point) and 2.5.7 Degradation in Civility Recommendation: "Encourage the understanding of opposing perspectives, while maintaining a spirit of cooperation and civility" Comment: Civility is clearly called for in ICANN's Expected <http://www.icann.org/en/transparency/acct-trans-frameworks-principles-10jan 08.pdf> Standards of Behavior (see Section F); however, as the organization begins to incorporate more diverse cultures, some members of the OSC believe that increasing our tolerance of others is also important. Would the CCT consider a modification to the recommendation, such as, ".maintaining a spirit of cooperation, civility and tolerance"? Note: The OSC is not unanimous on this recommendation. While some members would like to see "tolerance" added explicitly, others believe that the ICANN code satisfactorily embraces this concept (e.g. third bullet beginning with TREAT) and that the GNSO should adopt the standards as written or seek to have them amended officially by working through the ICANN Ombudsman office.
