[council] An idea to progress work on PDP

["Marilyn Cade" <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been thinking that the 20 recommendationns from GNSO review do indeed 
deserve some dev. Of priority and Mariajs very helpful materials are providing 
much of the organization to see the full scope of work ahead of us on 
administrative side. For today's Planning call, I plan to propose a suggested 
way to advance work in this area, taking a "leaf" from the CCNSO last meeting, 
and repeating something we have done as Council when wkg as a committee of the 
whole. I believe a subgroup of Former TF chairs, present TF chairs, Council 
chair, and representatves from CCNSO could spend a productive set of 
modifications to the PDP, based on lessons learned. The group should be 
inclusive of the ALAC liaison to both SOs, of course. Its purpose would be to 
work in a very rapid process of brainstorming possible changes, with a short 
term view and a longer term view, and presenting a draft/straw proposal for 
changes which would then need to become part of a formal change process. 
And could support the staff preparation of an issues report. Recognizing that 
the expertise today lies with the TF chairs, and Our Secretariat, and with the 
implementation staff-- Tim, Tina, etc, from the past experience in policy 
development, using a sesion of actual work dedicated to thid in VC could 
advance the process. But avoid dragging this segment of the analysis out or 
burdening staff with ind. Interviews to dig out historical information to 
develop an issues report.
I'd suggest possibly the afternoon session while the board is "retreating" 
forms a good 4 hour working segment. 

Just an idea to advance this work item. As the Council will note I have raised 
concern with trying to do a second review of the PDP within the ToR for the 
GNSO review. Having decided that modification of the PDP is needed in the 
Council Review, it seems more useful to do the process of making the needed 
changes, than to again review the need for changes. 

If there sems merit in this approach to advancing the work, then we would need 
to get scheduled time for VC, which is why I'm mentioning it on today's call. 
But primarily I'd like to hear from fellow councilors about this approach. 
Remember we have access to our colleagues from CCNSO in VC. Would take outreach 
to them of course to invite their participation. 

Comments very welcomed.
