2.1.4.1      Introductions

For team-building purposes, to understand its resources and capabilities and, 
potentially, to help with prospective assignments, members of the Working Group 
should be provided with the opportunity, at the start of the first meeting, to 
share information regarding interests, background, skills, experience, 
especially as related to any requirements in the Charter,

Members of the Working Group should be informed that all GNSO Working Groups 
are expected to operate under the principles of transparency and openness, 
which means, inter alia, that mailing lists are publicly archived, meetings are 
normally recorded and/or transcribed, and SOIs are required from Working Group 
participants which will be publicly posted.

Comment

GD: Section 2.1.4.1 establishes instructions for the initial meeting of the 
working group, and emphasizes the ICANN principles of transparency and openness 
with regard to working group meetings, deliberations, and documents.  However, 
does the PPSC WG-WT envision any exceptional scenarios in which the working 
group would desire confidentiality?  There may be value in this, especially if 
the subject matter involves DNS security and stability vulnerabilities.  Should 
the PPSC WG-WT consider an exception to the transparency requirement, it should 
set a high threshold for making such a request, and establish a clear process 
for disclosing the final output of any closed deliberations.
