[council] Re: [soac-discussion] Form a Focus Group to Provide Feedback on Proposed Public Comment Constructs

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Councillors,

Further to this, in so far as each GNSO SG wants to put a candidate forward, it 
may not be necessary for the Council to also put one forward. But that is of 
course open to discussion. Thoughts anyone?

>> Purpose:  To help ICANN Staff assess the usability and viability of certain

>> recommended by the ATRT. 
>> 
>> Team Members: We would prefer to keep the Focus Group relatively small and

>>  
>> 
>> Methodology:  Due to the challenges in scheduling telephone calls/meetings

>> Confluence Wiki environment.  Details (e.g., links, login information) will

>> planned. 
>> 
>> Duration:  We anticipate that the feedback period will last one month from 
>> 20 July through 19 August at which point the dedicated Wiki space will be 
>> closed.  
>> 
>> Content: ICANN Staff will outline two current proposals to the Focus Group 
>> and collect initial feedback (via the Wiki).  The two specific topics that 
>> the Focus Group's will be asked to provide feedback are:
>> 
>> Topic 1:  Stratification/Prioritization of Public Comments
>> 
>> Topic 2. Comment/Reply Structure for Public Comments
>> 
>> Scope: The Focus Group will be asked specific questions concerning the 
>> topics listed above and feedback/responses will be collected via the Wiki. 
>> The ATRT Recommendations have been reviewed by the ICANN Community and 
>> approved by the ICANN Board; therefore, the Focus Group will not be asked to 
>> validate the ATRT Recommendations themselves.
>> 
>> Outcomes:  The Wiki collaboration and discussion threads will be used by 
>> Staff to inform its planning concerning the implementation topics listed 
>> above. Staff does not plan to issue any written reports or summaries of the 
>> Focus Group's deliberations; however, the Wiki may be opened for public read 
>> access once the work is completed.  Elements of the feedback may be 
>> incorporated into a formal Public Comment solicitation that will deal with 
>> these same topics circa September 2011.  
>> 
>> I hope you find the above information helpful in identifying and selecting 
>> candidates to help with this feedback process.
>> 
>> We hope to hear back from you with one volunteer contact detail from your 
>> group latest by 13 July 2011, in order to start the activity as outlined 
>> above.
