RE: [gnso-vi-feb10] telling the story of VI to the community

What's conspicuously absent (from my perspective) is the identification of the 
substantive policy issues we are discussing and what the points of disagreement 
are. 
I dont think you need to spend time telling people how "hard we've worked." 

________________________________________

i'm starting to build an outline and thought i would ask the rest of you for 
ideas of things we should include.  i figure i'm going for about 5-8 slides 
total, no more than 10 (so's to keep the "presenting" part down to no more than 
10-15 minutes).

here's my starter-list

-- Where we've been
        -- History
        -- Approach (two waves -- fast-scramble followed by deeper-research)
        -- "Unusual" aspects of this effort (time-frame, complex Board/DAG/GNSO 
interaction, etc.)
        -- How hard we've worked (number of emails, proposals, conversations, 
polls, etc.)
-- Where we are now
        -- Either "the short-term deal", or an update on where we are at with 
regard to "the short term deal", or the conclusion that we need more research 
in order to reach consensus
-- Where we are going
        -- Either:
                The 3-4 month path to GNSO/Board policy (if we have "the short 
term deal"), or
                A plea for a little more time, because we feel like we can get 
to a deal soon, or
                The broad outlines of the questions we need to answer to get to 
a deal (eg, economics, regulatory structures, harms, definitions, etc.)
        -- A summary of the longer PDP that addresses the rest of the charter 
questions

does that seem like the right outline?  anything huge that's missing?  anything 
huge that makes you unhappy?

i could use a few sounding-board type people, so if anybody's interested in 
volunteering to be editors/improvers let me know.  i figure we'll send a few 
drafts to the list for comment and spend a few minutes at the end of the 
Saturday face-to-face session bringing the slide-deck to final-draft.
