[gnso-wpm-dt] RE: Draft Presentation for Nairobi Council Meeting

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem I have with slide 8 is that it will generate way too many
questions that we won't have time for.  Why don't we introduce it in the
wrap up session on Thursday when we will hopefully have more time.
 
For the Council meeting, slides 1-5 could be covered very quickly and
they provide a good background for the Council and the community.
Adding the list of projects as Olga suggested would provide a quick
snapshot of the current workload. Slide 9 may not be needed in the
Council meeting but might be good to include in the wrap-up meeting.
Slide 10 is critical.
 
Chuck

        Chuck:

         

        Yes, indeed.  The intent was for Olga to give this update at the
Nairobi GNSO Council session (I didn't know the exact date).   

         

        On our last call, I thought I heard Olga say that she had an
hour for this discussion, so I planned accordingly.   The team was even
thinking that we should run a rating exercise!   I'm sure glad we talked
ourselves out of that option.   If time is limited, we have two options
(at least):  (1) eliminate some slides per your suggestion or (2) hit
them more rapidly and maybe don't even try to cover all of the
sub-bullets (...still good to have for record?).   I worked hard on
slide #8 and it communicates a lot IMO.  I would hate to see that one
jettisoned.  

         

        Earlier in my career, I had a wise Sales VP who used to admonish
his staffers (me included), "Never fall in love with your slides."   J


         

        I'm sure we'll discuss tomorrow... 

         

        Ken

        Thanks Ken.  Nice job.  

         

        Is this for possible use in the Council meeting on 10 March?  If
so, note that there are only 20 minutes allocated for this agenda item
and that includes Council & Community discussion.  We can discuss this
in our call tomorrow, but in my preliminary opinion we would only have
time for the following slides in this meeting: 1-5 and 9-11.  

         

        The topic is on the agenda for the Wrap-Up meeting on the 11th
and there may be a little more time in that meeting if Councilors would
like to get more info.

         

        Chuck

Nairobi Council Meeting

                WPM Team Members:

                 

                At the team's request, I have prepared the attached
PowerPoint slide deck for your review.   

                 

                My overall objectives were:

                1)      Review/remind Councilors why this WPM was
undertaken, i.e. its mission/purpose

                *         Referencing the Staff GNSO Participation and
Attendance study and its conclusions

                2)      Show the critical thinking and planning that
went into the team's initial work plan structure - all of November

                *         The team had to invent its own model
conceptualizations and rationale

                *         Iterative six step internal validation process


                3)      Explain how the time has been utilized 

                *         Graphed the 6 step process since December to
show the team's progress 

                *         Most steps have taken < a month and the
trajectory has been steadily upward/forward

                *         As with any complex iterative process, it
became necessary, through testing/learning, to revisit earlier decisions


                *         Team mindful of saving the entire Council
those machinations 

                4)      Highlight team decisions made 

                5)      Outline remaining action items and decisions yet
to be completed (I guessed at March-April) 

                6)      Q&A 

                 

                I presume that tomorrow's call will largely be taken up
with going through this slide deck to make sure that these are the
points we want to make.   

                 

                Once we finalize the content, I will also make a PDF so
that it can be uploaded to Adobe Connect in Nairobi.  

                 

                Olga - I haven't included any speaker notes yet, but I
am willing to write some after our call tomorrow.   I wanted first to
see if the team generally approves of the approach taken and content. 

                 

                Ken
