Subject: [council] Call for Volunteers: Drafting Team to Develop Charter for 
GNSO Working Group on Policy & Implementation

In Brief

The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council seeks volunteers to 
serve on a Drafting Team that will be tasked to develop a charter for a Working 
Group to address issues that have been raised in the context of the recent 
discussions on policy & implementation that affect the GNSO (see Staff 
Discussion 
Paper<http://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/policy-implementation-framework-08jan13-en.pdf>
 and session in Beijing<http://beijing46.icann.org/node/37133>). The Drafting 
Team is expected to submit the proposed Charter to the GNSO Council for 
approval.

What This Team Will Do

The Drafting Team is expected to develop a Charter on the basis of the GNSO 
Working Group 
Guidelines<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-08apr11-en.pdf>
 taking into account the Staff Discussion Paper as well as the discussions that 
took place in Beijing. At a minimum, the GNSO Council expects that the 
subsequent Working Group would provide recommendations on the following:

 1.  A set of principles that would underpin any GNSO policy / implementation 
related discussions
 2.  Recommendations on a process for providing GNSO "Policy Guidance"
 3.  A framework for implementation related discussions related to GNSO Policy 
Recommendations and
 4.  Further guidance on how GNSO Implementation Review Teams are expected to 
function and operate.

How This Team Will Work

ICANN Working Groups use transparent, open processes. The meetings of this DT 
will be recorded, and the recordings will be available to the public. The 
mailing list for the Drafting Team will be archived publicly. Drafting Team 
members are expected to submit Statements of Interest (SOI). The group will 
collaborate using a public workspace. The Drafting Team is expected to follow 
the GNSO Working Group 
Guidelines.<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-08apr11-en.pdf>

How to Join

The GNSO Council invites interested parties to provide names of expected 
participants who can then be added to the DT mailing list. The DT will be open 
to anyone interested to join. Community members who wish to be invited to join 
the group should contact the GNSO 
secretariat<mailto:gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxx?subject=Application%20to%20Join%20Policy%20%26%20Implementation%20DT>
 (gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxx>).

Background

Mainly as a result of discussions stemming from implementation related issues 
of the new gTLD program, there is increased focus on which topics call for 
policy and which call for implementation work, including which processes should 
be used, at what time and how diverging opinions should be acted upon. In order 
to facilitate these discussions, ICANN Staff developed a draft framework for 
community discussion that identifies a number of steps and criteria that might 
facilitate dealing with similar questions in the future. The paper identifies a 
number of questions that the community may want to consider further in this 
context, as well as a couple of suggested improvements that could be considered 
in the short term. While developing a bright-line rule as to what is policy or 
implementation may not be possible, the hope is that by developing clear 
processes and identifying clear roles and responsibilities for the different 
stakeholders, it will become easier to deal with these issues going forward and 
allow for broad participation and involvement. Following several discussions by 
the GNSO Council on this topic, the GNSO Council has now decided to form a 
drafting team to draft a Charter for a Working Group which will be tasked to 
provide concrete recommendations on how to address some of these issues from a 
GNSO perspective.
