RE: [gnso-pro-wg] Approach to guidelines

["Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@xxxxxxx>]

Thank you, Liz.

I had volunteered solely because no one else had.  Anyone who would like
to do so should certainly volunteer.  

As I mentioned yesterday during the call, I strongly encourage everyone
to start posting suggestions/proposals/comments.  I certainly appreciate
the fact that email can be susceptible to misinterpretation and,
accordingly, there may be a reluctance to introduce suggestions, etc.
via email instead of our calls.  Nonetheless, in the interests of time,
I suggest that the WG may find it more productive to discuss during our
remaining calls those suggestions, etc. previously introduced on the
list than to comment immediately on suggestions, etc. introduced for the
first time on a call.  I, for one, usually need more time to absorb.

Everyone

I hope that the following notes are helpful to stimulate discussion
about text which could be included in any "guideline" (for want of a
better term) document.

This document would be, from my perspective, a major output of the group
for the Committee to consider.

The attached document collates the existing new TLDs principles,
recommendations and implementation guidelines which should be used as
the first reference point.  All text should refer to that table so that
we can "support" any recommendations.  We should also be proposing
alternatives -- considering that it is unlikely that this group will
reach consensus on the proposals?

At the end of the document there is a page to start writing up any
guideline which may emerged from, in the first instance, email exchange
amongst the group.

I don't recall who else volunteered to write this up -- perhaps an email
exchange would be helpful first to get rough groundwork established.

Of course, any questions, just ask.

Liz
