[gnso-policyimpl-wg] For your review - proposed agenda Policy & Implementation WG meeting

[Marika Konings <marika.konings@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

Please find below the proposed agenda for the next Policy & Implementation
WG meeting with some comments in cursive for some of the items.

J. Scott, I have you down as the chair for Wednesday¹s meeting.

Note that with as there are a number of conflicting meetings this week, some
of the regular attendees may not be in attendance for this meeting,
including Alan, Greg and Chuck (and myself ;-). However, as discussed last
week with Chuck, as time is of the essence, hopefully there will be enough
people to continue the conversation and as long as we are able to share
notes and documents for review with the mailing list, this will hopefully be
sufficient to keep everyone on track for delivering an Initial Report early
next year. 

If you have any comments or edits, please let me know.

Best regards,

Marika

Proposed Agenda ­ Policy & Implementation Working Group Meeting ­ 19
November 2014 ­ 20.00 UTC
1. Roll Call / SOI
2. Review draft IRT Principles [Note, we hope to have an updated version
available for Wednesday¹s meeting including suggested language in relation
to operating principles]
3. 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): [Would suggest that WG is asked whether there is any further input in
relation to the IRT questions, but as we have covered these quite
extensively in the previous meetings, it is probably time to move on to the
questions in relation to the implementation project plan?]
> * GNSO Implementation Review Team
>> * Currently optional, should this be mandatory (charter question 5);
>> * How is the IRT expected to operate, what is its decision-making
>> methodology, (charter question 5);
>> * 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); 
>> * 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)
>> * 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)
>> * 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)

>> should take place, if specific guidance is deemed necessary (Charter Question
>> 3)

>> implementation plan takes longer than originally anticipated? (charter
>> question 3)
> * GNSO Council 
>> * What process(es) is (are) to be used for addressing implementation / policy
