I think this captures the WT's positions very well.  I suggest adding<br>
another clause to the final sentence that reflects the WT's ambiguity<br>
re: who should carry out the assessment (Chair, Liaison and/or WG<br>
participants).  That's something that will need to be addressed, or else<br>
we risk lopsided assessments that won't really help the community learn<br>
from the particular experience.  <br>
<br>
Perhaps the recommendation could look something like this:<br>
<br>
The PDP Work Team notes that several documents, including the PPSC-WG WT<br>
and the WG Guidelines, reference a "Working Group Self-Assessment,"<br>
which all WGs are encouraged to conduct.  The Work Team believes that<br>
this could be a valuable exercise, and encourages PDP WGs to complete a<br>
candid and objective self-assessment at the conclusion of their work.<br>
However, the Work Team also notes that there is no standard or template<br>
for such an assessment, nor clear guidance on who (Chair, Liaison and/or<br>
all WG participants) should conduct the assessment, and recommends that<br>
these guidelines be developed.<br>

Subject: [gnso-ppsc-pdp] Recommendation #45: WG Self-Assessment<br>
<br>
<br>
Team:<br>
<br>
During today's call, Marika reminded me that I was on the hook to<br>
propose some language for Recommendation #45.  This is regarding the<br>
idea of a post-PDP "Self-Assessment" by the PDP-WG, that would be<br>
submitted to the GNSO Council at the conclusion of their work.<br>
<br>
Reviewing the transcript, there seems to be some agreement on:<br>
<br>
*  The self-assessment is currently referenced in the PDP-WT report, and<br>
the WG Guidelines<br>
*  The self-assessment being optional, rather than required<br>
*  There is currently no standard or template for the self-assessment<br>
*  WGs should avoid turning this in to a perfunctory<br>
"self-congratulatory" exercise, <br>
*  WGs should avoid using the self-assessment to re-cap the discussions,<br>
debates or material positions of the PDP.<br>
<br>
There was no clear agreement (or disagreement, for that matter) on<br>
whether this should be carried out by the Chair and/or Liaison, or the<br>
WG membership as a whole.<br>
<br>
<br>
PROPOSED LANGUAGE:<br>
The PDP Work Team notes that several documents, including the PPSC-WG WT<br>
and the WG Guidelines, reference a "Working Group Self-Assessment,"<br>
which all WGs are encouraged to conduct.  The Work Team believes that<br>
this could be a valuable exercise, and encourages PDP WGs to complete a<br>
candid and objective self-assessment at the conclusion of their work. <br>
However, the Work Team also notes that  there is no standard or template<br>
for this assessment, and recommends that this be developed.<br>
