RE: [gnso-raa-b] Edited draft initial report (and other docs) for May 10 call

["Metalitz, Steven" <met@xxxxxxx>]

Further to the message below, please see the following excerpt from our
charter, which is particularly relevant to item 3, and perhaps other
agenda items below.
 
In producing the DT report, the chair will be responsible for
designating each position as having one of the following designations: 

 

 

o Unanimous consensus position 

o Rough consensus position - a position where a small minority disagrees
but most agree

o Strong support but significant opposition 

o Minority viewpoint(s) 

o If several participants in a DT disagree with the designation given to
a position by the chair or any other rough consensus call, their
position and the reasons for the disagreement should be reflected in the
DT report. 

 Steve Metalitz

Subject: [gnso-raa-b] Edited draft initial report (and other docs) for
May 10 call



Subteam B participants,  

Attached please find an edited version of the draft initial report
prepared by staff and discussed on our last call. I hope that this
captures the points discussed then but I encourage you to let us know if
it does not, and if so how it should be changed.  

I also attach the two pending versions of the "next steps" bullets --
one drafted by me (working from the earlier proposals from me and Tim
Ruiz), the other a redline of my draft prepared by Statton Hammock. 

For our next call (Monday May 10 at 2000 UTC), I  propose the following
agenda: 

1.      Discussion of the "next steps" bullets and resolution of subteam
position(s) 

2.      Discussion of registrar concerns about Annex F (staff memorandum
of 14 April) 

3.      Review/approval of the remainder of initial draft report 

4.      Brussels planning update if any. 

I encourage all participants to circulate their comments in advance of
the May 10 meeting if possible, which will facilitate our completion of
this ambitious agenda.     I have not seen any other comments on the
draft initial report so far.  (My previous posting requested these by
COB today.)    

As you know, because of the planned Brussels workshop, the deadline for
completion of our report has been accelerated to May 31.  I am confident
that we will meet this deadline and indeed it is realistic that our May
17 call -- the last one we have scheduled for now -- may be the last one
needed before completion of the initial report.  

Looking forward to speaking with you on Monday (or Tuesday as the case
may be for some of you!).   

Steve Metalitz
