[dow1tf] Preliminary Report Requirements

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

This is taken from the ICANN Bylaws.  Please disregard the time tables as
they were extended by the Council.

e. Task Force Report. The chair of the task force, working with the Staff
Manager, shall compile the Constituency Statements, Public Comment Report,
and other information or reports, as applicable, into a single document
("Preliminary Task Force Report") and distribute the Preliminary Task Force
Report to the full task force within forty (40) calendar days after
initiation of the PDP. The task force shall have a final task force meeting
within five (5) days after the date of distribution of the Preliminary Task
Force Report to deliberate the issues and try and reach a Supermajority
Vote. Within five (5) calendar days after the final task force meeting, the
chair of the task force and the Staff Manager shall create the final task
force report (the "Task Force Report") and post it on the Comment Site. Each
Task Force Report must include:
	1. A clear statement of any Supermajority Vote position of the task
force on the issue;
	2. If a Supermajority Vote was not reached, a clear statement of all
positions espoused by task force members submitted within the twenty-day
timeline for submission of constituency reports. Each statement should
clearly indicate (i) the reasons underlying the position and (ii) the
constituency(ies) that held the position;
	3. An analysis of how the issue would affect each constituency of
the task force, including any financial impact on the constituency;
	4. An analysis of the period of time that would likely be necessary
to implement the policy; and
	5. The advice of any outside advisors appointed to the task force by
the Council, accompanied by a detailed statement of the advisors' (i)
qualifications and relevant experience; and (ii) potential conflicts of
interest.

We will need each of the constituencies to discuss impact of each of the
recommendations in the statement on each constituency.
