[gnso-ppsc-pdp] Draft Revisions to Sections 3 and beyond - ALL PLEASE READ
Marika & PDP Team, Please find enclosed my proposed revisions to Sections 3 and 4 (Overarching Issues) and (Annex A to the Bylaws). I still need to review the PDP Manual section, but I wanted to make sure you had this when you woke up in the morning as I may not have that last section done until tomorrow. In re-reading all of the recommendations, I have recommended that some additional provisions and references be added to the Bylaws to be consistent with what is there today. In addition, where I saw staff obligations (like a General Council Opinion) mention in the Manual, I added some of that to the Bylaws. The reason is that ICANN staff is not bound by obligations in a GNSO Council document, but rather can only be bound by Bylaws of the organization. Therefore, if we expect the GC to do something, it needs to be in the Bylaws rather than the Manual. I did not really create any new text for the Bylaw outline, but moved some text from what was in the Manual. I did not take all the text, but rather took enough to get the gist and then refer to the PDP Manual. An example I added to the Bylaws was: Section 5: Reports An Initial Report should be delivered to the GNSO Council and posted for a public comment period of not less than 30 days, which time may be extended in accordance with the PDP Manual. Following the review of the comments received and, if required, additional deliberations, a Final Report shall be produced for transmission to the Council. Although we want the details in the Manual, there should be a reference in the Bylaws of what the required outputs are in a sequential order as in the current Bylaws. I know that is what Marika tried to do in Section 1 of the Bylaws, but without more context in the bylaws, I personally believed it was not enough. These are my personal comments and not comments of my stakeholder group, company or as Chair. Thanks. Jeffrey J.
