Subject: [gnso-policyimpl-wg] For your review - notes & documents

Dear All,

Please find below the notes from yesterday's Policy & Implementation Working 
Group meeting. You'll find attached for your review a slightly revised version 
of the draft IRT Principles / Guidelines document, which addresses some of the 
edits and comments discussed yesterday (note, it does not include an additional 
section yet on IRT internal operating procedures as discussed - we'll work on 
this ahead of the next meeting). If you have any comments or suggested edits, 
please share these in advance of the next meeting. Furthermore, if you have any 
comments / additions to the IRT Review Chart, which has also been attached here 
for your information, please share those as well.

Best regards,

Marika

Notes 12/11

IRT Review Chart

  *   Any further comments / questions?
  *   Current and former IRT members encouraged to review document and add / 
comment as appropriate
  *   Lessons learned will serve as input to IRT Principles / Guidelines
  *   Send reminder for input by end of November to WG
IRT Review Chart

  *   High level principles related to recruitment, composition and operating 
principles derived from strong points, lessons learned and comments received 
from WG to date
  *   WG encouraged to review and provide input on the draft IRT Principles / 
Guidelines on the list - comments on the list will then be discussed / reviewed 
on one of the next meetings
IRT Recruitment and composition:

  *   How to ensure that experts are informed on what the policy 
recommendations are to prevent reopening of policy issues? Add that call for 
volunteers / experts should include information on what the policy 
recommendations are and how anyone participating is expected to have reviewed 
these.
  *   IC - change may to should ('the call for volunteers should also reach 
beyond the working group members'. Sentence may need a little bit of 
restructuring - objective is not necessarily to have a large, all compassing WG 
('attract additional volunteers'), but people that are direclty impacted and 
have the right expertise.
  *   ID - add 'community' so it reads staff and community efforts to recruit 
IRT members
  *   IF - To the extent feasible 'and applicable' (add 'and applicable') - may 
not always be necessary to have balanced participation. See for example 
Inter-Registrar Policy which mainly affects registrars.
IRT Operating Principles

  *   IIB - 'may require possible policy discussions' (add 'possible)
  *   IID - regular updates to whom? Intent is that staff is communicating to 
IRT - so consider updating with updates to IRT.
  *   IIE - send documents in a timely manner 'to the IRT'
Charter Questions 3, 4 and 5 discussion

  *   Consider adding principles on IRT operations to draft IRT principles
  *   Needs to be flexibility as they will vary depending on policies that need 
to be implemented
  *   Consider adding role of Council liaison as co-ordinator/facilitator 
if/when any formal decisions need to be made, taking into account GNSO Working 
Group Guidelines. Liaison also serves as channel of communication to the GNSO 
Council.
  *   How to deal with comments in public comments that attempt to change the 
policy recommendations? IRT should be first touch point. IRT / policy staff may 
play a role in providing feedback on whether or not those issues were already 
addressed / considered (as PDP WG is no longer in existence). Up to IRT to seek 
further counsel if needed.
