Re: [council] GNSO: PDP management issues [note changed thread]

Liz - Can you decode? What is PCC and PCC-eTLD?

Thanks for your note.
It is not my understanding that we are to devote any resources and time at all to the Feb 06 PCC: Existing TLDs PDP as part of the two day working session in Wellington. I have another email to the Council in preparation about the PCC-eTLD PDP which I was going to distribute tomorrow but I will send that out later tonight.
From my side, it is entirely premature to be discussing the PCC-eTLD in Wellington. Advice from the GNSO Secretariat today indicates that the public comment period will be between 7 March - 27 March. On current estimations, 10 April is the deadline for constituency statements. I would encourage the Council to focus entirely on the new TLD PDP in the working sessions at the Wellington meetings. There is much good work to be done there and, in the background, I would hope that the constituencies would be preparing their statements which will then be folded into the PCC-eTLD Initial Report. 

Kind regards.

Liz

Just one additional thought, since we have an "agreed" format with
numbering, etc, for ease of reference in discussion, would be important to 
keep that also in mind as the further documents are developed.

Thanks, Liz, for the information about when we can expect the further
Initial Report--e.g., end of this week. Important to have it as soon as you 
can, given the work that we are all trying to review before flying to
Wellington. :-)
Just one thought, though. The intent of the working session is to split the time over the two PDPs, as well as the meeting with the GAC working group on 
gNSO. That may have been inherent in your email but it sounded a bit like
there was thought that the entire agenda is given over to this particular
pdp, and I don't believe that can be the case.

But of course, we are still developing the exact schedule of work for
Wellington. I would propose that we devote Saturday a.m. to this work, and 
Saturday p.m. to the contractual terms PDP [sometimes called PDP Feb-06].
That will allow us to be prepared for our discussion Sunday a.m. with the
GAC working group, and then we can return to work on the contractual terms 
PDP on Sunday p.m,

Best regards and thanks for the update.

In documents like this, it would be useful to augment citations with a
hyperlink to the referenced message or resource. It is difficult (or
impossible) for a layperson to read this document and benefit from the
larger context that these limited footnotes provide for.

There are any number of online style guides that provide recommendations
for citing online sources ) - I heartily recommend that staff choose one
of these for future use - it will make these documents eminently more
readable, and therefore useful, for our purposes.

Dear Colleagues

I have attached for your review a document which sets out a request for
additional information on the technical selection criteria for new TLDs.
The document focuses on four key questions around technical criteria which 
we

discussed at some length at the Washington meeting.

Could I ask you and your constituencies to come to Wellington with more

detailed

information about your positions (and the justification for those

positions

based on ICANN's mission and values)?  We would then be able to move

forward
with discussions about the appropriateness of other selection criteria and 


allocation methods.

I will be delivering to you all, I hope by the end of this week, an

updated

version of the new TLD /Initial Report/ in which I have included

Washington

inputs and other information.

I would expect to be working on that /Initial Report/ during the two day

session

planned for 25 & 26 March.

Kind regards and, of course, any questions come straight back to me.  If
necessary, we could add quick discussion of this document to the agenda

for next

week's Council call.

Liz
