RE: [gnso-vi-feb10] First Draft Preliminary Report

Antony,

Actually, I agree with you about the polls, and particular the most
recent poll.

 

My comment was about including the Proposal-Matrix-the Table. Hope
that's OK J

Best,

I am having a very hard time filling out the new poll (for the reasons
have given).   Furthermore, I am struck by the presumptions of the poll.


 

Most of the questions presume a restriction on competition and from
there carve out either broader or smaller exemptions.    This in spite
of the fact that the majority of respondents favored the free-trade
model, which presumes the opposite.  

 

As we know, results of polls largely depend on the questions asked.  

 

I must disagree with Kathy in wanting to include the results of this
poll in any executive summary, because of the inherent skewing.

Margie and All,

Tx for a first draft of the Preliminary Report. Appreciate it in such a
busy time!

 

Following up on my comments on the slides, I think the Proposal-Matrix
should be included in WG Report in a prominent way - reflected in both
the Executive Summary and having its own section of the Report. The
Proposal-Matrix is a snapshot of work to date - of the many proposals
submitted, of the effort spent on each one, and of the compromises which
followed.

 

As Mikey's new doodle shows, it contains key elements of agreement/key
atoms of discussion and review. It is a compilation and a "reader's
guide" to our work.

 

Thus, I would recommend that the Proposal-Matrix be part of both the
Executive Summary and have its own section of the Report:

-          Executive Summary could explain the proposal submission
process, the enthusiastic responses, the Proposal-Matrix as a
compilation, and provide a direct reference to the Proposal-Matrix in
the Appendix and online.

-          Report Section: I think we also should create a separate
section of the report presenting the Proposal-Matrix, and explaining
each of its elements (the ones along the horizontal edge). Those reading
may not be as familiar with the acronyms, or underlying concepts as we
are.  One or two sentences per Matrix column should be sufficient to
explain the concepts.

-          Note: I like the way Mikey has prepared the matrix with
new/current proposals on top, and older proposals below (our evolution!)

 

That's the thought.

Best,

Importance: High

 

Dear All,

 

As discussed on today's call, please find attached for your review a
very rough first draft of the Preliminary Report for the VI Working
Group.    Please note that the content largely covers background
information and documents related to the PDP, but needs substantial
revision to describe the substantive proposals and support levels
associated with them.  

 


Specifically, more content is needed for the following sections:  1.
Executive Summary,  4. Substantive Proposals with Initial Levels of
Support within the VI Working Group, and 5. Conclusions and Next Steps.



 

 

 Best Regards,

 

Margie
