Liz,
Thanks so much for your ideas and energy to get things going! Glen is working
on another scheduling exercise to see if we can come to a more convenient time
for all.
I do want to respond to your concern about time being spent on how the work
should be done rather than actually doing the work, and Margie's role with
regard to "starting that drafting effort".
It is important for the whole work team to understand that this team will be
led by the team itself, it is incumbent on the community, as represented by
this group, to decide how to organize the work to be done and to direct any
drafting effort that occurs. This is not the role of ICANN staff. Some of you
are very familiar with Annex A of the Bylaws and I'm sure you who are more
expert have a strong sense of how you think things should occur. There are
also others on the team who are newer to the policy development process and
just beginning to think about various new approaches. Hopefully we will find a
better time for future calls, and you can share some of your suggestions to the
team in real-time, but meanwhile we need to give the group a chance to
self-organise the work as it sees fit.
Staff does not yet have an assignment from the team to draft anything and we
will not "start drafting" until the group defines what/how they would like us
to proceed. We are very willing to jump in and draft language as requested (we
too are very excited to see progress made in this area!), but staff is not
driving the process.
Separately, staff has an additional background document that does expand on
some of the ideas and approaches already suggested in the list already
distributed, we will be sharing this with the team shortly, but there is
nothing official or "final" about this, I would suggest thinking of this new
document as a expanded set of ideas and questions with few if any "answers".
I hope this helps explain the role of staff and next steps, at least from our
perspective. Jeff may have further thoughts in terms of the overall job to be
done and the current activities of the team.
Thanks again for your enthusiasm and eagerness to make progress quickly. We're
totally with you on that!
Best, Liz

Draft PDP-WT WORK PLAN
Margie
Thanks for the notes. I have a conflicting Nominating Committee call at 14H00
for several weeks. Could we shift to one hour later as I really want to
participate here?
Whilst the logistics of the work are important, much more important is getting
the work actually done. What proposals were made to start drafting the words
for each of the four (or five) stages of the PDP; what work is being done on
preparing a "term sheet" of key definitions. Essentially what needs to happen
is a complete revision of Annex A of the Bylaws that drives the GNSO PDP
process. This is what the Board will eventually sign off as the agreed new PDP
process.
We have an extremely short time frame to get the work done and I don't want to
have calls about discussing how to do the work when we should be writing and
drafting and discussing content.
Are you responsible for starting that drafting effort?
Liz

1. Selection of the Chair. The work team unanimously selected Jeff
Neuman as the Chair. For those of you that were unable to attend, we wanted to
give you the opportunity to vote on the Chair. Please reply to this email by
Wednesday of next week with your vote on whether Jeff Neuman should be selected
as Chair of the PDP-WT.
2. Updated Draft Work Plan. We briefly discussed the draft Work Plan and
made suggested changes. These revisions are included in the attached
document, which will also posted on the WIKI. Please review the Draft Work
Plan and provide your comments either on the email list or on our next call.
3. Next Steps. Please be prepared to discuss the logistics of how to
proceed with the work, such as whether we should divide up in subgroups, and
which issues we would like to address first.
4. Doodle for Next Meeting. We discussed holding our next call at the
same time as the last call, or 14:00 UTC on Thursday April 2, 2009 (07:00 PDT,
10:00 EDT, 11:00 Buenos Aires, 15:00 CET, 01:00 Melbourne next day). I'll ask
Glen to create a Doodle and circulate it to the group to determine if this time
would work for most of the participants.
