RE: [gnso-ppsc-wg] Call for Consensus

["Caroline Greer" <cgreer@xxxxxxxxx>]

J. Scott and team,

 

I have some suggested minor edits for the paper. Otherwise, I think it looks in 
great shape.

 

Many thanks,

 

Kind regards,

 

Caroline.

 

 

Global Edits

·         It might be good if, where applicable and where not already done, 
every occurrence of 'constituency' ('constituencies') was changed to 
'stakeholder group or constituency' ('stakeholder groups or constituencies'). 
Eg, see occurrence of 'constituency' on pages 11 and pg 24. 

 

Section 2.2 (Working Group Member Roles and Responsibilities)

·         The 2nd sentence in the Staff bullet section on page 11 says, "ICANN 
Staff may perform the following distinct roles for a WG as requested and 
appropriate: . . ."  How about the following addition?: "Workload permitting, 
ICANN Staff may perform the following distinct roles for a WG as requested and 
appropriate: . . ."

 

Section 3.3 (Process Integrity)

·         Minor edit in the last sentence of the 1st paragraph on page 14: 
Perhaps change 'can' to 'may' in "If the reopening is perceived as abusive or 
dilatory, a WG member can appeal to the Chair (see section 3.7)."

·         A similar change could be made in the 2nd sentence of the next 
paragraph of the same section: "Working group members can [may] request a 
review by the Chair if a member disrupts the work or decision-making of the 
group as a result of inconsistent participation."

 

Section 3.6 (Standard Methodology for Making Decisions)

·         Minor edit on page 17 as follows: At the end of the first paragraph 
change 'were polls were taken' to 'where polls were taken:  

 

Section 4.2 (Communication/Collaboration Tools) and Section 4.3 (Translation)

·         Both of these sections make statements like this: "applicable 
recommendations made by other teams such as the OSC Communications Team may be 
added once available, as appropriate".  Note that the work of the OSC 
Communications Team is now finished so do we need to reword this perhaps?

Subject: [gnso-ppsc-wg] Call for Consensus

 

Dear WGWT:

 

I have attached a clean and redlined version of the Guidelines incorporating 
the latest revisions based on the issues presented to the WG by the PPSC.  I 
have also attached a copy of the PPSC comments and the WGWT Responses to those 
comments.

 

I had some difficulty attaching these documents, so please confirm that you are 
able to review the attached.

 

I AM HEREBY MAKING A CALL FOR CONSENSUS FOR THE ATTACHED DRAFT GUIDELINES AND 
OUR RESPONSES TO THE ISSUES LIST PRESENTED BY THE PPSC.

 

THE CALL FOR CONSENSUS WILL REMAIN OPEN FOR SEVEN (7) DAYS.  SPECIFICALLY, THE 
DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING ANY OBJECTION TO THESE DOCUMENTS IS COB (6:30 PM) 
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28TH PACIFIC DAYLIGHT TIME.

 

PLEASE ONLY RESPOND IF YOU DO NOT SUPPORT THE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS.  IF WE 
RECEIVE NO OBJECTIONS FROM THE MEMBERS OF THIS LIST, WE WILL CALL FULL 
CONSENSUS.

 

Thank you all in advance for your consideration and continued participation in 
this effort.

 

J. Scott
