[gnso-sti] STI Report to GNSO Council - Nov. 23
Zahid Jamil is scheduled to make a progress report to the GNSO Council on Nov 23. Please review the draft report. Comments, if any, should be sent by 1800 UTC on Tuesday 17 Nov. "When this update was written the STI had held four conference calls. Two each on each of the two heads (TM Clearinghouse & URS) raised by the Boardâ??s letter. Constituencies represented and ALAC have provided their position statements in regards the issues and the Group is currently working on a Common Grounds Paper where some issues have reached agreement. This update will avoid identifying/characterising issues under discussion or their importance since there may be varying views on these. There is some interest for a possible face to face meeting to attempt resolution of outstanding issues or at least to meet once comments are received on the final report of the STI. It has been felt by the STI that the time allocated for submission of the Final Report is not practically feasible if consensus on all issues is to be effectively reached. Whereas the GNSO had passed a resolution in its Public meeting at Seoul on 28th October 2009 stating that â??The GNSO [STI] review team will provide a final report to the GNSO on or before the GNSO's council meeting in late November, 2009â??. There is consensus within the STI Review Team that the time available for submission of a final report may not be adequate in order for the Review Team to submit meaningful and efficacious report. The Review Team suggests that the next meeting of the GNSO be scheduled near enough the deadline (14th of December 2009) set by the Board for submission of the GNSO response, in order to provide the Review Team with adequate time to effectively complete its review and submit a final report before the date of the next GNSO meeting to be scheduled before the Board mandated deadline. However, the STI-RT intends to deliver its report no later than Monday, 7 December." David David W.
