[gnso-wpm-dt] WPM Section 6 and ANNEX: 29 March Versions (KBv6)

["Ken Bour" <ken.bour@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

WPM Team Members:

 

As a result of our teleconference today, 29 March, I made the following
changes to our current drafts of Section 6 and the ANNEX (now combined into
one document labeled KBv6):  

 

Section 6:  

1)      6.1.1:  Change footnote to "will be discussed..."

2)      6.3:     Change "Section" vs. "paragraph"

3)      6.3.1:  Remove "Difficulty" and all additional references to it in
both documents.

 

ANNEX:

 

1)      1.2-b:    After ".Council approval", add:  "If any objection is
raised, Councilors will be polled to determine support."

2)      Step 3:  If a Councilor misses the 10 day window for providing
individual project ratings, that omission will not influence or be factored
in the first analysis used to determine initial agreement.  During any group
sessions, all attending Councilors will be permitted to participate in the
discussion and vote during the polling rounds even if they did not submit
individual ratings when requested to do so.  

3)      3.1.1:    Delete "teleconference"

4)      3.2.2:    Change "two minutes" to "1-2 minutes" in both instances.

5)      3.2.4:    Rewrite to impose 1 minute time limit for each speaker and
5 minute completion target for additional rounds.  

 

It would appear that we are well positioned to finalize both Section 6 and
the ANNEX at our next session (6 April).    

 

I will also circulate, under separate cover, a draft letter from Olga, our
Chair, to the GNSO Council transmitting the team's deliverable.   

 

Time permitting at our next session (6 April) or, alternatively, the
following week on 12 April, perhaps the team can also discuss any additional
considerations that it anticipates arising, for example: 

 

.         Training considerations?  

.         When should the Council undertake its first prioritization?   

.         As I mentioned on today's call, the GCOT was assigned the
following task in its Charter: 

"Determine what steps are needed to establish the role of the Council as a
'strategic manager' of the policy process."
Does the DT want to make a recommendation to the OSC and Council as to which
team, if not itself, should be tasked with developing the "managerial"
elements that would effectively utilize the prioritizations?  

 

Congratulations to the WPM-DT for being almost a full week ahead of
schedule!
