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

 

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)
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):  

*       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)
*       What role does the Board play, if any, in addressing implementation
concerns from the GNSO Council (charter question 3 & 4)

4.      Next steps / confirm next meeting
