[gnso-policyimpl-wg] RE: PI Initial Report - updated draft for today's meeting

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Marika,

I don’t know which is easier, to integrate Anne’s edits and comments into mine 
or vice versa.  Whatever, is it possible for someone to do that before our call 
today?

BTW, I like Anne’s suggestions for the Executive summary.

Chuck

Thank you Marika.  Certainly this report is quite comprehensive and I am sure 
we all applaud you and others on staff for pulling this together in such a 
timely fashion to keep us on target.

I made some proposed wording changes in the attached redline version of your 
last draft.  I also wanted to share some preliminary thoughts regarding points 
I believe should be made in the Executive Summary as follows:

“History shows that important issues may arise during the implementation 
process which are the subject of diverging opinions within the community and 
which may or may not involve policy issues.  After reviewing several past cases 
of such issues which were resolved on an ad hoc basis, the WG concluded that 
defining such issues as either “policy” or “implementation” was not as 
important as developing standardised mechanisms for addressing such issues 
smoothly and efficiently regardless of characterization.  This is especially 
true in situations where the issues that arise are time sensitive.  In light of 
ICANN’s Core Value 4 in support of informed participation in all policy and 
decision-making, the WG proposes three new standardised mechansims for GNSO 
consideration of such issues.”

I think it is very important that the WG stress its conclusion that the debate 
over  “is it policy or is it implementation” is a potentially endless and 
unproductive debate.  The focus must be on smooth and efficient resolution of 
issues regardless of characterization.

Unfortunately, I have been called into a meeting that occurs at exactly the 
same time as our WG call today and this cannot be avoided.  Please accept my 
apologies. I look forward to listening to the mp3 prior to next week’s call.

Thank you,
Anne

meeting

Dear All,

To date, I’ve received comments from Chuck and some of my colleagues that I’ve 
integrated in the attached version. Please use this version if you have any 
further edits / comments. Note, that I’ve already fixed some of the issues 
identified as well as updated Annex F as I had used an outdated version.

To facilitate the WG’s review later today, I’ve taken the liberty to highlight 
those comments / edits in yellow that may benefit from further WG 
consideration. All other edits appear to be clarifications / corrections that 
probably do not warrant further discussion (if you think otherwise, please flag 
any other items that you think need WG consideration).

Best regards,

Marika
