[council] AW: Looking ahead from ICANN 45 - GNSO Web Site Resources

[<KnobenW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Rob,

ideas shall come by using the website. I relatively often search the site for 
specific information - and sometimes my logic of thinking doesn't lead me to 
the result I would expect. For example I can't find anything about WHOIS RT 
recommendations under ongoing work - policy activities - WHOIS - current policy 
work. Maybe appropriate links in the pending projects list could help. This 
list is supposed to supply a concentrate of the council activities and could 
eserve as main starting point for searching related information.


Best regards
Wolf-Ulrich

Betreff: [council] Looking ahead from ICANN 45 - GNSO Web Site Resources

Dear Jonathan, Maria and Wolf-Ulrich;
In view of your recent dialogue about Councilor learning curves and induction 
materials, I wanted to advise the Council that as part of "Phase 2" of the 
updated GNSO.icann.org website, staff is currently developing introductory 
materials to use as a standing resource for councilors and community members on 
a variety of introductory "basic" topics such as GNSO Working Group formation 
and operations, PDP procedures, communications tools and guides for new 
councilors and working group chairs.
We are working to leverage existing materials including some that Glen 
currently gathers and shares when new Councilors come on board.
The materials will ultimately find a home on the "Basics" tab of the GNSO web 
site - http://newgnso.icann.org/en/basics/getting-started.  We will alert you 
all as those materials are added to the site.
On the horizon we envision developing other materials for the page on 
particular topics like a "DNS 101 Guide".  We would welcome suggestions about 
additional topics and subjects that any of you thinkmight be of value as a 
future addition to the Basics Tab as either a refresher or introduction to a 
particular matter for interested community members.
In the meantime, I hope the currently structured Active Projects/Groups/Teams 
page (http://newgnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/active-groups.htm) and the 
document linked to the Pending Projects List page 
(http://newgnso.icann.org/en/ongoing-work/pending-projects-list.htm ) of the 
GNSO web site will provide some useful status, background and context 
information regarding the full range of current GNSO Council matters, issues 
and topics of interest.
Best regards,
Rob Hoggarth
