[gnso-policyimpl-wg] Proposed agenda - Policy & Implementation WG meeting

[Marika Konings <marika.konings@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

Please find below the proposed agenda for the next Policy & Implementation 
Working Group meeting which has been scheduled for Wednesday 19 November at 
20.00 UTC. Note that a revised version of the draft IRT principles has been 
attached in which, as requested during the last meeting, we've added some 
suggested IRT operating principles which has also triggered a slight 
reorganisation of some of the other categories. We look forward to receiving 
your feedback.

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 (see updated draft attached)

questions 3, 4 and 5 (see added questions derived from IRT review chart in

     *   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)

     *   Implementation project plan

        *   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)

        *   How to maintain continuity in the issue even if the development of 
the implementation plan takes longer than originally anticipated? (charter 
question 3)

     *   GNSO Council

        *   What process(es) is (are) to be used for addressing implementation 
/ policy issues raised by the IRT (charter question 4)
