Re: [pdp-pcceg-feb06] ICANN Opens Public Comment Period on Policy Development Process on Policies for Contractual Conditions: Existing Registries

I am happy to take line edits on the existing report - please refer  
to page and section numbers.  I don't expect that the discussions  
will be re-opened.  I have not taken some suggestions for changes  
because they didn't have the agreement of the whole group.  I am not  
able to arbitrarily change text, especially as it relates to  
recommendations, if the group have not agreed a position.  Note also  
that I need, for the final version, to re-insert the requirement  
under Section E of the GNSO PDP bylaws which requires the following:

e. Task Force Report. ... Each Task Force Report must include:

1. A clear statement of any Supermajority Vote position of the task  
force on the issue;

2. If a Supermajority Vote was not reached, a clear statement of all  
positions espoused by task force members submitted within the twenty- 
day timeline for submission of constituency reports. Each statement  
should clearly indicate (i) the reasons underlying the position and  
(ii) the constituency(ies) that held the position;

3. An analysis of how the issue would affect each constituency of the  
task force, including any financial impact on the constituency;

4. An analysis of the period of time that would likely be necessary  
to implement the policy; and

5. The advice of any outside advisors appointed to the task force by  
the Council, accompanied by a detailed statement of the advisors' (i)  
qualifications and relevant experience; and (ii) potential conflicts  
of interest.


In particular we must do 3, 4 & 5.

The Saturday meeting has been scheduled and I hope that if anyone can  
provide textual edits, that they would do so prior to that meeting.

The public comment period ends during the ICANN meeting.  I would  
suggest that any comments from that archive can be taken into account  
at the Saturday meeting -- I don't expect many public comments which  
are differentiated from constituency positions.

Liz
