RE: Reminder: [gnso-policyimpl-wg] Deadline for review - 13 January - PI Draft Initial Report

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

I think "Preamble" is a fine word to use in this context.  My further thoughts 
are as follows:


1.        The WG needs an Executive Summary to be reviewed in our January 14 
call. This report is due no later than January 19.  The Executive Summary is 
very important and we need to see and discuss it.

2.       I think we should ask commenters whether they believe the Principles 
should be adopted by the GNSO and/or the Board.

3.       I agree with Chuck that policy is "developed" rather than "determined" 
by GNSO.  Would actually say "policy recommendations" are "developed" and that 
policy is made by the Board if you read the By-Laws carefully.

4.       I still do not understand the tautological definitions of "binding" 
and "non-binding force".  These have to somehow relate to the ICANN By-Laws or 
there is no true meaning to the terms in the context of recommendations and/or 
comments from GNSO.  Does "binding force" refer to recommendations that require 
a certain majority of the Board in order to overthrow?

5.       In the "macro" overview of our work, I think we need to ask for public 
comment as to whether commenters believe that the suggested new processes will 
actually result in streamlined standardized issue resolution.

I did not do a detailed review this time due to the time-consuming nature of 
remote participation in the Non-Contracted Parties House Intersessional meeting 
in D.C.  Looking forward to speaking with all of you tomorrow.

Anne
