Meeting Summary:

 

After roll call by Gisella, Ken Bour (acting for J. Scott who was unable to
attend) summarized the activities of the "Charter Guidelines" and "Operating
Model" sub-teams that took place between 6 May and today.  He noted that, in
the confusion after the last conference call, only the "Charter Guidelines"
sub-team actually met (4 June) and, in a productive flourish, managed to
complete its outline.   On 9 July, Ken posted a revised document outline
that reflects the consensus decision-making of that sub-team.   Ken accepted
the group's invitation that Staff perform the initial drafting work.  As of
9 July, although a few sub-sections have been started, there is much work
remaining to be done.   The newly constituted "Charter Guidelines" outline
is partitioned into three major sections which can be viewed on the WIKI at:
https://st.icann.org/icann-ppsc/index.cgi?wg_team_charter.   For the benefit
of the entire group, Ken walked through the revised outline briefly and
described the sub-team's process in resolving issues and coming to consensus
on the structure.    

 

As the last chair of the "Operating Model" sub-team, Subbiah then led a
discussion  as to how best to attack that outline.   It was decided to use
time in Sydney, but to start with Roles & Responsibilities (Section 2.0) on
the current call.   After about 30 minutes of discussion, the group managed
to complete the first sub-section (2.1), "Introduction and Team Formation."
Ken agreed to incorporate the decisions made, clean up the outline for that
section, and post to the WIKI (completed 12 June, 1100 EDT) along with a new
participant note to explain the changes made.   

 

The following Action Items were discussed and should guide the WG Team's
activities in the coming weeks.  

 

ACTION 1:   "Charter Guidelines" Sub-Team

 

Document:  "Working Groups:  Implementation and Charter Drafting Guidelines
(WG-ICDG)" 

WIKI:  https://st.icann.org/icann-ppsc/index.cgi?wg_team_charter 

Tasks:

1)      Review newly constituted outline and brief section explanations --
provide comments

2)      Staff:  Begin drafting text to replace the explanatory statements
with actual guidelines 

 

ACTION 2:   "Operating Model" Sub-Team 

 

Document:  "Working Groups:  Operating Model Guidebook"  (WG-OMG)

WIKI:  https://st.icann.org/icann-ppsc/index.cgi?wg_team_model

Tasks:

1)      Between now and Sydney, add any additional questions/clarifications
on the current outline

2)      Provide further review/input to Section 5.0-Products & Outputs 

3)      Prepare to resolve outstanding issues so that the outline can be
cleaned up during Sydney (*)

 

(*)  Based on the amount of time it took to complete Section 2.1, there are
potentially many hours of work involved in perfecting the outline.  Subbiah
suggests that this sub-team meet at other times during Sydney, as schedules
permit, to continue this work.   

 

Pending approval by J. Scott, we are hoping to make arrangements to have
both sub-teams meet separately during Sydney to continue working on their
respective outlines.  

 

A newly revised schedule appears below:  

 

Revised "Rough" Schedule of Activities:

 

10 June                       WGT Conf Call:

outlines from both sub-teams

21 June (TBD)            Sub-teams meet in Sydney, AU (separately?)

                                    Finalize "Operating Model" outline and
continue building "Charter Guidelines" draft language

July                             Sub-teams complete drafting activity
(dates/schedule TBD)
