RE: [council] Motion to extend PPSC and OSC charters

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We can form the oversight committee any time we want.  Do we want to do that 
before the DTs and SCs finish their work?  If so, how do we avoid duplication 
and maximize efficiencies?

It's clear that the 2 SCs need to continue to work. Just our recent 
conversations re such things as the DOI recommendations or the voting 
procedures show that more work needs to be done. However, I would also like to 
ask where we are with regards to the oversight committee that there was talk of 
forming? Could that not also help move things in the right direction?

 

Thanks,

Rob kindly reminded me that the latest extensions of the PPSC and OSC end in 
Cartagena.  Because both SC's and some of their WTs are still working, I am 
submitting this motion to extend their charters further.

Whereas in October 2008, the GNSO Council established a framework for 
implementing the various GNSO Improvements identified and approved by the ICANN 
Board of Directors (see - GNSO Council Improvements Implementation Plan)
http://www.icann.org/en/topics/gnso-improvements/gnso-improvements-implementation-plan-16oct08.pdf
 
<http://www.icann.org/en/topics/gnso-improvements/gnso-improvements-implementation-plan-16oct08.pdf>
 ;

Whereas that framework included the formation of two Steering Committees - the 
Operations Steering Committee and the Policy Process Steering Committee - to 
charter and coordinate the efforts of five community work teams designed to 
develop specific recommendations to implement specific aspects of the 
improvements;

Whereas the Council intended the charters of the committees (and their 
attendant work teams) to be temporary and not to extend beyond the 2009 annual 
ICANN meeting without specific action by the Council;

Whereas the Council has now twice extended the terms of those committees to 
allow the GNSO community implementation recommendations work to continue (see - 
http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-council-24sep09.htm 
<http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-council-24sep09.htm>  and 
http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-council-10mar10-en.htm 
<http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-council-10mar10-en.htm> );

Whereas the Council acknowledges the hard work of those work teams and notes 
that those committees and their teams are diligently continuing their work;

RESOLVED, The Council extends the terms of the Operations Steering Committee 
and the Policy Process Steering Committee and their respective work teams as 
necessary through the San Francisco ICANN public meeting in March 2011. The 
Council directs each steering committee and applicable work team chair to 
identify the specific targets and benchmarks for their work and to share that 
information with the Council by 19 January 2011.
