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

[Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mary,

I think I should point out that there are likely to be further changes to the 
GNSO Operating Procedures based on recent Council discussion.  These would, 
under the current scheme, be taken up by the OSC.  Thus, the OSC’s charter also 
would need to be extended if the OSC would be continuing with its work in this 
regard.  Note that the OSC currently is planning to meet to address changes to 
the GNSO Council Operating Procedures on Sunday the 5th in Cartagena and that 
there would likely be additional meetings following Cartagena based on that 
discussion, if its charter were extended.

Thanks,
Julie

I agree with Wendy that recent events show that the Council should now review 
the work done before re-delegating (and yeah, I'm willing to work on that 
review). I think also that Stephane's reminder about the Standing Committee is 
timely, and it may be that we can convene that Committee to work together with 
the Council to review the OSC and PPSC work, at least initially.

With that in mind, my question is - will there be any problem (e.g. 
legal/rule-based, technical, operational etc. etc.) if Wendy's motion is 
amended so as to extend the PPSC charter solely for the purpose of, and only 
for the duration of, completion of the PDP team's work?

Thanks,
Mary

Wendy and all,

I do want to point out that the OSC and PPSC are actually at very different 
stages in their work.  Many tasks that were the responsibility of the OSC are 
completed or nearing completion.  The PDP Work Team, working under the auspices 
of the PPSC, has more work to do before completing its primary "assignments".

Thanks, Liz

Wendy,

I am assuming this is a second motion and, if that is correct, it will be 
treated as such.
