[council] FOR INFORMATION: Final version of GNSO Council input on proposed RDS Review scope

[Mary Wong <mary.wong@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Councilors,

Please find attached the final version of the GNSO Council’s input on the 
proposal for a limited scope for the forthcoming RDS Review. As no further 
comments were received by the deadline that had been agreed on by the Council 
in December, this is the version that we will forward to our colleagues who are 
coordinating the RDS Review. We are circulating it for your information, so 
that you can see the substantive input first drafted by Susan and Keith, with 
the additional edits provided subsequently by the IPC, incorporated in a letter 
format.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

Subject: [council] IPC input on draft response to proposed RDS Charter revisions


Dear colleagues,



Following up on our action items from the Council meeting last week, the IPC is 
grateful to Susan and Keith for their work on developing the strawman response 
from Council in relation to the proposed narrowing of the scope of the charter 
of the forthcoming RDS Review.



Please find attached the strawman with a few proposed modifications by the IPC, 
plus these clarifying questions:

  *   The bylaws language in red - is there a reason for the red text?

  *   Items 1 and 2 refer to "current RDS efforts" - should we specify exactly 
what this means? (ie, does this refer to the Registration Directory Services as 
is/currently running, improvement efforts underway but not yet fully 
operational (e.g., PPSAI), or does it refer to the efforts of the RDS PDP WG? 
Or all of the above?)

  *   4.6(e)(i) refers to efforts ICANN should make with the SO/ACs "to improve 
accuracy and access to generic top-level domain registration data."  This goal 
is not reflected in the Charter items. Isn't it appropriate that the RT review 
the "efforts" underway to see if this goal is being met?



Best wishes,



Heather
