This seems as though we are creating a "Reconsideration Request" at the
Council level.  Why?  Has this been a problem in the past?

I agree that establishing a post-vote dialogue between the Council and
the requesting SO/AC is a good idea.  But I disagree that a re-vote is
required.  Mandating that the Council re-vote on the issue undermines
their role as managers of the policy development process, and it's easy
to predict that -every- PDP that does not pass the Council will require
two votes.


I could support the exception scenario in which the SO/AC believes there
were material omissions in the issues report, and that Council needs to
reconsider new information that wasn't available during their first
vote. 

Thanks--

J.

 On rereading this, it may be taken the "requesting a re-vote" could be
refused by the GNSO. Changing the end of the sentence to "... for such a
re-vote which cannot be refused by the GNSO Council." fixes it, but
perhaps there is a more elegant way of phrasing it.

 Draft text for Recommendation 18

 The PDP-WT recommends that if the GNSO votes to not initiate a PDP
following an Issues Report requested by an AC, the AC or its
representatives should have the right to a meeting with representatives
of the GNSO, and in particular, those voting against the PDP, to discuss
the rationale for the rejection and why the AC feels that
reconsideration is appropriate. Following this meeting, the AC may
submit a statement to the GNSO Council requesting a re-vote and giving
it's rationale for such re-vote. This process may be followed just once
for any given Issues Report.
