Dear WG members,

Proposed Agenda – Policy & Implementation Working Group Meeting – 12 November 
2014 – 20.00 UTC
  1.. Roll Call / SOI 
  2.. IRT Review Chart – any additional comments / questions? 
  3.. Review draft IRT Principles (see attached) 
  4.. Continue review and discussion of questions identified to address charter 
questions 3, 4 and 5 (see added questions derived from IRT review chart in 
blue): 
    a.. GNSO Implementation Review Team 
      a.. Currently optional, should this be mandatory (charter question 5); 
      b.. How is the IRT expected to operate, what is its decision-making 
methodology, (charter question 5); 
      c.. What additional mechanisms, if any, should be foreseen for 
implementation related discussions (beyond those that take place with the IRT); 
How should feedback via public comments on proposed policy language be handled 
where attempts to changes the consensus recommendation are evident? (charter 
question 3); 
      d.. How is feedback as well as the flagging of potential issues to the 
GNSO Council by the IRT managed, what mechanism should be used to to formally 
'object' (should there a way to first address this in the IRT or is there an 
immediate need to escalate to GNSO Council)?  (charter question 4 & 5) 
      e.. Composition - How to balance the need between expert input / 
participation and ensuring that participants are familiar with the original 
policy recommendations and PDP WG deliberations?, What is the appropriate level 
of knowledge for participation in an IRT?  (charter question 5) 
      f.. Could/should an IRT or implementation effort proceed if even after 
outreach there are not sufficient qualified volunteers to ensure that key 
affected parties are participating? (charter Question 5)

    a.. Implementation project plan
      a.. Determine if/how/when the IRT is involved and how consultations with 
staff should take place, if specific guidance is deemed necessary (Charter 
Question 3) 
      b.. How to maintain continuity in the issue even if the development of 
the implementation plan takes longer than originally anticipated? (charter 
question 3)

    a.. GNSO Council 
      a.. What process(es) is (are) to be used for addressing implementation / 
policy issues raised by the IRT (charter question 4) 
      b.. What role does the Board play, if any, in addressing implementation 
concerns from the GNSO Council (charter question 3 & 4)
  5.. Next steps / confirm next meeting
Thanks and cheers
