[gnso-osc] GCOT recommendations - SOI - adoption by October 31

["Philip Sheppard" <philip.sheppard@xxxxxx>]

Fellow OSC members, 
please find attached a revised recommendation on statements of interest from the
GCOT team chaired by Ray Fassett. 
It is revised based on input earlier from the Council.
Let me have your comments with a view to OSC adoption by October 31.
 
After which, assuming a positive reception, we will re-send it to the GNSO
Council.
 
There is both a red-line and clean version.  The red-line version has a brief
explanatory comment for each edit.  In summary the changes are:
1.      To clarify that declarations of interest are not to be written documents
2.      To exempt ICANN staff personnel from the requirement of completing
statements of interest (upon condition as stated)
3.      To simplify the questions pertaining to the statement of interest form
while keeping to their intent (note this is section 5.3.3 originally not adopted
by the Council that we hope now will be as a result of these edits, assuming
approved by the OSC.)
4.      To remove the condition that participants are to be individually polled
by the Chair for updates to their disclosure of interest due to feedback we've
received relative to the inefficiency of this condition in practice.

Philip
OSC Chair
