RE: draft agenda, RE: [pdp-pcceg-feb06] REMINDER: PDPFeb06 Task force meeting Thursday 9 November at 19:00 UTC

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Maureen and Avri for creating the summary.  I think it is very helpful.  
I just want to note a couple of things with respect to this document for those 
that are reading this without having been on the last call or for those just 
monitoring the list.

As Maureen stated, this document reflects only a list from two other documents 
created by Groups A&B and does not reflect some of the substance that was 
discussed on the last call.

In addition, we need to clarify that the "Straw Polls" we are taking on the 
call are from INDIVIDUALS and NOT from constituencies.  The individuals may 
have been appointed from constituencies, but they are in no way representing 
the constituencies as a whole.  At some point constituencies as a whole will be 
asked their opinion and only at that time, when documented, can we say that 
constituencies support or do not support a proposal.

Finally, as stated on the last call, it is premature to call these proposals.  
I would prefer us keep the reference to "straw polls" from those present on the 
call.

Thanks.

Jeffrey J. Neuman, Esq. 
Sr. Director, Law, Advanced Services  & Business Development

meeting Thursday 9 November at 19:00 UTC 


Thank you Glen for the reminder.

Thanks to Liz for writing the Draft Task Force Report, which is posted at 
http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/


In this email, I am attaching a short document that Avri and I developed and 
which we hope will be useful as a support piece during tomorrow's 
teleconference. 

**It is a short working document and has no official status.**

It lists (in numerical order) the proposed recommendations excerpted from the 
two rapporteur groups' reports.  It also contains some notes and a chart - all 
of which are intended to serve as organizational guides to the information 
provided by the rapporteur groups.  

These notes and the chart are the interpretation of the writers and are not 
intended to add to, subtract from, or in any way change the content of the work 
of the Rapporteur Groups. Rather, they are an attempt to add a bit of clarity 
to some sections of the reports; to help us determine, as a Task Force, where 
areas of support and consensus could exist, and possibly to contribute to the 
next iteration of the Task Force Report.

For tomorrow, I propose that we pick up where we left off at the end of the 
last teleconference, but that we alter our approach. One of the things we 
should decide is what we mean by 'support'.

The following draft agenda is intended to get us to the point where we will be 
able to determine levels of support amongst the task force members for the 
recommendations presented by the two groups of rapporteurs.


Draft Agenda.

1. Roll call
2. Approval of agenda, and any additions under Other Business
3. Defining levels of support
        Starting Point -  Proposal for Discussion purposes only:
                Strong Support =  a minimum of four constituencies, with some   
                                noncom support
                Medium Support = a minimum of three constituencies, with some   
                                noncom support
                Minimal Support = a minimum of two constituencies, with some    
                                noncom support
                Single Constituency Support = the support of one constituency 
                No Support = no support from any constituencies or noncom       
                                members
4. Walk-through of each Rapporteur Group Report
5. Roundtable - each task force member indicating support/lack of support       
                for each of the proposed policy recommendations.*
6. Synopsis 
7. Other Business
8.  Next meeting - date
9. Adjournment

*Note: I am in full agreement with the view that was expressed during the last 
teleconference that it is important to discuss these recommendations fully and 
understand their implications. I also believe that it is important that we not 
allow the process to compromise the product. 

We do have to progress in our discussions, so that the draft report can move 
closer to becoming a final report.  For this reason, I respectfully request 
that we all attempt to frame our comments and questions during agenda item 5 in 
a way that is constructive and/or instructive.  The purpose of our discussions 
tomorrow should be to achieve clarity about the recommendations; To get us to 
the point where everyone is able to determine the extent to which they support 
them. Of course this does not preclude further discussion.........we have much 
more to discuss.  


Best regards,

Maureen
