Re: [gnso-policyimpl-wg] Welcome to the Policy & Implementation Working Group

["WUKnoben" <wolf-ulrich.knoben@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nic,

to my understanding from the time of drafting the charter there is no 
historical statement displaying all potential cases ICANN may have dealt 
with in the past. I think the WG is free to come up with such a list on the 
basis of their own (subjective) experience. Such a list could show how the 
GNSO handled those cases, under which conditions decisions have been taken 
and what could be learnt for the future.
All questions put into the draft charter do not claim comprehensiveness 
rather than being a guideline for the discussions.
Best regards

Wolf-Ulrich

Working Group

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the work you have put into this already. I was hoping that
you or someone else on this list could point me in the right direction
on one front.

There is a section in the charter that outlines questions that might
be helpful to the working group. One of them is:

"4. What lessons can be learned from past experience?
a. What are the consequences of an action being considered “policy” vs.
“implementation?..."

A few instances in the past few months immediately spring to my mind
for "past experience", but I was wondering if there was a more
authoritative resource. I know that the GNSO site has a completed
project list, but it is difficult to identify instances where this
decision was made (especially when an action was considered an
implementation).

Any suggestions for getting a better historical perspective on this
issue would be much appreciated. Looking forward to working with you
all.

Thanks,

Nic
