[gnso-ppsc-wg] For review - Updated document plus additional questions

[Marika Konings <marika.konings@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

Following the meeting yesterday, please find an updated version of the 
Operating Model Guidebook posted on the Wiki 
(https://st.icann.org/icann-ppsc/index.cgi?working_group_team). As discussed, 
the focus of next week's meeting (Wednesday 2 December at 19.00 UTC) will be on 
a number of questions that have been brought forward by the PDP-WT for 
consideration. These questions are:


 *   How should the GNSO Council deal with recommendations that are not 
consensus recommendations, but that have rough consensus or strong support?
 *   Does or should it matter who is supporting those recommendations i.e. if 
there is rough consensus between all constituencies / stakeholder groups, but 
it is only two individual members of the team (not representing anyone but 
themselves) should that be given different weight when being presented to and 
considered by the GNSO Council?
 *   In making the assessment between rough consensus and strong support, 
should the WG Chair factor in the difference between a vote that represents a 
whole constituency or stakeholder group and that of an individual?
 *   Should the WG Guidelines provide any guidance on what represents a 
balanced Working Group and should a WG or Chair provide its view on whether it 
feels that recommendations are made on behalf of a representative WG (a 
membership list might look representative, but in practice many do not actively 
participate)?

You are encouraged to share your views on the mailing list and/or provide your 
input on the wiki page that has been created for this purpose (see 
https://st.icann.org/icann-ppsc/index.cgi?additional_questions) prior to next 
week's meeting.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Marika
