[pdp-pcceg-feb06] Quick notes on current Draft final report

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks Liz for the report.  I have quickly gone through the first  
part, though not the annexes in detail. Here are my notes.

1.3 - Not sure this is true.  as i read the rules, if the council has  
appointed someone to the TF with a vote, they have a vote.  And in  
fact it is an equal vote to the others on the the TF - not the  
devalued vote as has been the practice in the TF. I do agree that  
this was the process the TF worked under - which i believe was also a  
valid process.

1.4 - The definition we used included noncom voters - strong support  
= 4 or more  constituencies plus some nomcom support, support = 3  
constituencies plus some nomcom support.

1.7 - I don't think this satisfies the requirement to indicate that  
the rest of the constituencies and nomcom members did not accept the  
RyC position.  Also I thought there was supposed to be a statement  
indicating that the council had reinforced the validity of the TF and  
its ToR after the RyC issue was originally raised.  The way this is  
currently written, it looks like the RyC view predominated and the  
rest of the TF just went through the motions as opposed to the fact  
that the rest of the TF enthusiastically supported the validity of  
the ToR.

1.8 - Not sure if the reference to interim chair is a hold over from  
the past - replacement chair might be better reference.

1-9 - Not sure what value this table serves in the beginning of the  
document when the ToR hasn't even been introduced yet.  Certainly a  
useful annex.

2-1  I think it should use the language introduce earlier - i.e.  
Strong support is 4+nomcom or more.  If we are going to use the  
language of majority, would that not be super-majority for 1a1,2, 4a/ 
b, 5, 6  and majorityt 1a3, 3a1, and 3b1?

7-6 you still have a note: Add in “individual participant views”.

In terms of the voting chart in the annex, the text of each of the  
items being voted on should be included in the annex so that it makes  
sense as a reference - it is difficult to tell what corresponds to  
the explanations in the main part of the document.

thanks again

a.
