[gnso-ppsc-pdp] Your input requested - recommendation 12 - 13 Role of Workshops / Information Gathering events

[Marika Konings <marika.konings@xxxxxxxxx>]

For discussion / consideration:


 *   The WT could consider recommending that  information on the potential role 
of workshops and information gathering events in the PDP Rules of Procedure. In 
addition, this could be one of the items to be decided by the GNSO Council, 
possibly on the basis of a staff recommendation, to add to the planning and 
initiation phase for a specific issue.

Concerns / Questions

8.a          Is there a role for workshops / information gathering events at 
the planning / request for an Issues Report phase? If so, how can this be build 
in?

PDP WT Response

8.a          Many agreed that there could be a role for workshops and 
information gathering events at the planning and initiation stage. Some noted, 
however, that this should not be a requirement. Others added that it might be 
more appropriate for such events to take place after the publication of the 
issues report. Several people expressed concern that such events would have the 
potential to slow down the overall process as such meetings would likely be 
organized in conjunction with ICANN meetings.
