Subject: [gnso-ppsc-wg] Cross-Community Working Groups


Dear All,

In view of the recent increase in cross-community working groups, the question 
was raised internally whether that type of working group is addressed in the 
GNSO Working Group Guidelines. As it is not specifically covered in the current 
version, the question is should it? From a staff perspective, we think it might 
be helpful to include a paragraph along the following lines:

Cross-Community Working Groups
 
Cross-Community Working Groups may also use these Working Group Guidelines if 
so 
desired. It should be noted that as there currently does not exist a 
cross-community policy development process, any recommendations that are 
intended to form formal policy advice and/or policy recommendations to the 
ICANN 
Board will need to be adopted by each participating Supporting Organization or 
Advisory Committee according to their respective rules and procedures to 
constitute formal policy advice and/or policy recommendations as appropriate 
under the ICANN by-laws.

We would be interested to hear the WG WT's view and hope there might be an 
opportunity to discuss it at tomorrow's call.

With best regards,

Marika
