[gnso-policyimpl-wg] RE: Draft GNSO Fast Track PDP & Chuck's edit of the Draft GNSO Guidance Process: documents

["Aikman-Scalese, Anne" <AAikman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Would like to hear others' thoughts but I am mainly hoping the WG can make the 
guidelines for use of each procedure very clear in its recommendations.  Right 
now the draft addresses when GNSO should use EPDP instead of PDP, but Council 
may want us to address when GNSO should use GGP instead of EPDP.  I don't think 
GGP can be used to effect a change in Consensus Policy so that is probably  
Point #1 on the decision tree.

Anne,

I think that may be possible and that seems okay to me at first glance.  Do you 
agree?

Chuck

Chuck,
I agree with you but given that EPDP may also be used where Consensus Policy is 
not affected, it seems to me that GNSO might sometimes be trying to determine 
whether to use the GGP or the EPDP to address a request for input from the 
ICANN Board.   Unless I completely misunderstand, it seems to me possible that 
the ICANN Board might request "Guidance", but the Council might determine EPDP 
is required.

I will comment further when I am on my laptop but my understanding is that this 
totally different than the Guidance Process.

Subject: RE: Draft GNSO Fast Track PDP & Chuck's edit of the Draft GNSO 
Guidance Process: documents
Many thanks, Mary.  Attached please see a few comments/questions regarding the 
Expedited PDP draft.

As previously mentioned, I think it is important that the WG look at the 
interaction between the Guidance Process and the Expedited PDP provisions, 
especially as to which one to use in which circumstances.  In this regard, my 
initial impressions prior to discussion with the WG on the call are as follows:


1.       EPDP should require Council vote affirming that appropriate 
circumstances as laid out in the draft process do in fact obtain.  I think we 
are saying this requires Supermajority vote when Consensus Policy is involved, 
but it may not be necessary to require Supermajority vote when Consensus Policy 
is not involved.  The point of my comments in the draft is to seek certainty in 
connection with any Council vote on whether these circumstances obtain.  In 
other words, I think the Council vote, once taken,  should not be open to 
question on this point.



2.       Only the Council should initiate EPDP by vote and that neither the 
Board nor an AC should be able to initiate EPDP.


3.       I think that the Board and ACs SHOULD be able to initiate a Guidance 
Process and that if the GNSO Council believes that Guidance Process is 
insufficient, it should initiate EPDP.


4.       An EPDP which fails to garner a Supermajority vote for initiation 
should be eligible for consideration to initiate a Guidance Process at the same 
GNSO Council meeting UNLESS the issue involves a change in Consensus Policy.


5.       It should be clear that staff will assist in preparation of the 
scoping document.  This may be assumed but is it clear enough?


6.       It is not clear to me from the EPDP manual provisions whether the 
scoping requirements are mandatory or "recommended" as contained in the title 
of the provision.  (The text itself says "must...at a minimum".

Thanks for all your hard work in the drafting under significant time pressure I 
am sure.   (As a footnote, I think we should drop the term "guidance" in the 
file name for the EPDP since we are dealing with the differences between the 
GGP "Guidance" process and the Expedited PDP, which is arguably a different 
animal for the Guidance Process.)
