Working Definitions

Dear Michael and Marika:
 
We think it might be possible to better differentiate between ³GNSO Policy²
generally on the one hand and ³GNSO Consensus Policy² more specifically on
the other.
 
We agree that the latter has a very specific definition within Annex A of
the ICANN Bylaws, Section 1.2 of the 2013 RAA, and Article 2.2 of the new
gTLD Registry Agreement.  Accordingly, please consider the following minor
clarifying amendment.
 
GNSO Consensus Policy"Consensus Policies" are those policies established (1)
pursuant to the procedure and required minimum elements set forth in ICANN's
Bylaws and due process, and (2) covering those topics listed in Section 1.2
of the consensus policies and temporary policies specification of the 2013
RAA (see Annex I) or the relevant sections in the gTLD registry agreements
(see Annex II). Consensus Policies, adopted following the outlined
procedures, are applicable and enforceable on contracted parties as of the
implementation effective date. 2013 RAA Consensus
Policies and Temporary Policies Specification

Working Definitions
 

PIWG Team:

 

I would like to echo Marika¹s request ‹ it would be tremendously more
helpful if you could provide proposed edits or language, rather than
comments alone.  Please do include comments, however, to explain the
rationale of your changes ‹ even if only to note ³Syntax agreement²,
³correct capitalization" etc., and especially to illuminate your proposals.

 

Finally, at the risk of repeating myself and the introduction to the
definitions, I want to repeat that the definition sub-team¹s goal is to
arrive at definitions for specific terms which enables the Work Group to
discuss the matters before it without debating the meaning or significance
of those terms.  By doing so, we hope the Working Group¹s deliberations will
be able to focus on fulfilling the Charter requests and produce the
deliverables requested, among which we anticipate will be further
elucidations of and discussions concerning these terms and their
significance to Policy and Implementation.

Dear All,

 

Following today's meeting, you are all strongly encouraged to send any

sub-team will take your comments and edits and review these with the aim to
provide the WG with an updated version in time for its next meeting.

 

Thanks,

 

Marika
