I am willing if we can find a time that works for the three of us.

Chuck and Amr,
Thank  you for your feedback and suggestions.  This will be incorporated into 
the final version.

At the last meeting, we discussed the value of the GNSO Review Working Party to 
suggest  targets, indications or other guidance to specify what a good outcome 
would be for each recommendation identified for implementation.  Amr, as you 
suggested, this would help with measuring effectiveness of the implementation 
in the future.  There seemed to be general agreement that this would be a 
useful activity.  This approach would be consistent with good practices and 
process improvements we are working on implementing for all reviews.  Would you 
be willing to assist with this effort, and if so, would you be able to carve 
out some time in Marrakech to share your ideas with Charla and me?

Thank you,
Larisa

Amr's suggestion of adding a note (or notes) seems like a good idea to me.

Hi,

Apologies for missing the last call. It somehow didn’t make it in to my 
calendar. I just listened to the recording, checked the changes in 
recommendations suggested and wanted to offer one comment regarding 
recommendations 35 and 36.

If I recall correctly, both those recommendations had a “do not implement” 
recommendation by the working party, despite being color-coded yellow for a 
reason. The rational, as I remember it, was that the working party members 
agreed with the intent of the recommendations (the GNSO doing what it can to 
empower as much diversity as possible in WG participation), however, the 
standards set by the independent examiner to measure against seemed too vague 
and difficult to define and implement.

For example, in recommendation 35, the recommendation is to form a WG “whose 
membership specifically reflects the demographic, cultural, gender and age 
diversity of the Internet as a whole”. I’m not sure that the diversity of the 
Internet as a whole is something that will prove easy to work with. The 
language in recommendation 36 is a little more flexible adding “as far as 
reasonably practicle”.

Anyway, I’m not objecting to the changes made on these, but suggest that it may 
be helpful to add a note to our recommendation on these — that the metrics used 
to measure diversity should be specified with more consideration to what can 
actually be defined and measured. This could also likely be of assistance in 
measuring the success (or lack of) of implementation of these recommendations.

Just a thought.

Thanks.

Amr
