[gnso-wpm-dt] WPM: Draft Council Resolution and Timeline--REVISED

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

WPM Team Members:

 

The DRAFT Resolution, below, now incorporates the suggestions made by Chuck
and a few additional tweaks of my own after a few additional rereads.   The
timeline is the same as my first version.  

 

Concerning format, how should we connect the Timeline to the Resolution?
Can it be tacked to the bottom of the resolution as I am showing with an
embedded reference "(see below)"?  

 

Any thoughts about having our teleconference on Monday, as scheduled, to
finalize the resolution and timeline?  

 

Thanks,

 

Ken

RESOLUTION:

 

WHEREAS, the ICANN Policy Staff prepared and delivered to the GNSO Council a
2008-2009 Work Team Attendance Study which confirmed that volunteer
participation has been suffering and languishing;

Drafting Team at the Seoul ICANN meeting for the purpose of developing a
GNSO Work Prioritization model and procedure;

its deliberations and developed a written procedure recommended for
inclusion in the GNSO Operating Procedures as Section 6 plus an accompanying
ANNEX (link TBD); 

 

WHEREAS, the WPM-DT has developed a timeline of activities (see below) that
it recommends be adopted in order that the first Work Prioritization effort
can be completed by the ICANN Brussels meeting; 

 

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:

 

RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council accepts the deliverable of the WPM-DT,
thanks the team for its efforts, and approves the use of Section 6 and the
ANNEX (link TBD) for conducting its first Work Prioritization effort.  

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the GNSO Council directs Staff to commence a
twenty-one (21) day public comment period on this amendment to the GNSO
Operating Procedures and reserves the right to modify the procedures
described in Section 6 and the ANNEX after the conclusion of both the public
comment period and the first Work Prioritization effort. 

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the GNSO Council supports the recommended timeline
(see below) for conducting the first Work Prioritization effort and directs
the GNSO Secretariat to make arrangements consistent with its dates and
