WG-WT Publishes its Report
31 May 2010
As part of GNSO Improvements, which has as its objective to improve the
structure and operations of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), a
Working Group (WG) Work Team (WT) was tasked with developing a Working Group
Model. The Working Group Model should become the focal point for GNSO policy
development and enhance the policy development process by making it more
inclusive and representative, and - ultimately - more effective and efficient.
To this end, the WG WT has developed a document, entitled 'GNSO Working Group
Guidelines', which brings together two different elements of the Working Group
process; on the one hand it addresses what should be considered in creating,
purposing, funding, staffing, and instructing/guiding a WG to accomplish the
desired outcome (the chartering process), and; secondly, what guidance should
be provided to a WG on elements such as structuring, norms, tasking, reporting,
and delivering the outcome(s) as chartered (the working group process).
Following review of public comments on an earlier version of the proposed GNSO
Working Group Guidelines, the WG WT has now finalized its recommendations and
will submit the proposed GNSO Working Group Guidelines to the Policy Process
Steering Committee (PPSC) for its review.
Background
In the past, the GNSO decided policy mainly through small legislative bodies
called "Task Forces." Intentionally, it is moving towards a more inclusive,
representative model where key parties tackle an issue together as a "Working
Group," then make recommendations to the GNSO Council. The WG WT was tasked to
define the new Working Group model, including guidelines, checklists, and other
materials to speed the process of creating, chartering, naming, funding,
staffing, and guiding a GNSO Working Group.
