<P>Eric and all,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; Good points!&nbsp; My concern is that the seeming desire is to 
front-load a predetermined</P>
<P>decision on the WG before it even gets started.&nbsp; That's not in my mind 
at least, what</P>
<P>a open and transparent WG should be doing.&nbsp; Just my 2 
cents....<BR><BR><BR></P>

<DIV>I have been on a few TFs and WG going back to 1999.&nbsp; I applaud some 
evaluation and improvement. I believe some of the best of breed from ICANN came 
from these groups. I do not see a flaw in the "system" and I do think the new 
recs' will make them even better.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Where I see the failure is in presentation to the public and the BoD and 
Council. The desire to reach consensus has overshadowed the age old and true 
method of publishing minority positions. And then the conclusions of the group 
are not afforded appropriate aplomb or given the forum necessary or the tools 
to advocate the conclusions. The consensus driven model creates an environment 
where consensus builders are then expected to change their stripes and become 
crusaders for a working group cause -- has not happened yet and causes 
frustration and impotence. This wastes good results and drives away talented 
volunteer contributors.<BR><BR>--- On <B>Tue, 6/1/10, Glen <SPAN>de</SPAN>

 Publishes its Report<BR><BR>31 May 2010<BR><BR>As part of GNSO Improvements, 
which has as its objective to improve the structure and operations of the 
Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), a Working Group (WG) Work Team 
(WT) was tasked with developing a Working Group Model. The Working Group Model 
should become the focal point for GNSO policy development and enhance the 
policy development process by making it more inclusive and representative, and 
- ultimately - more effective and efficient. To this end, the WG WT has 
developed a document, entitled 'GNSO Working Group Guidelines', which brings 
together two different elements of the Working Group process; on the one hand 
it addresses what should be considered in creating, purposing, funding, 
staffing, and instructing/guiding a WG to accomplish the desired outcome (the 
chartering process), and; secondly, what guidance should be provided to a WG on 
elements such as structuring, norms, tasking, reporting, and delivering the 
outcome(s) as chartered (the working group !<BR>process). Following review of 
public comments on an earlier version of the proposed GNSO Working Group 
Guidelines, the WG WT has now finalized its recommendations and will submit the 
proposed GNSO Working Group Guidelines to the Policy Process Steering Committee 
(PPSC) for its review.<BR><BR>Background<BR><BR>In the past, the GNSO decided 
policy mainly through small legislative bodies called "Task Forces." 
Intentionally, it is moving towards a more inclusive, representative model 
where key parties tackle an issue together as a "Working Group," then make 
recommendations to the GNSO Council. The WG WT was tasked to define the new 
Working Group model, including guidelines, checklists, and other materials to 
speed the process of creating, chartering, naming, funding, staffing, and 
guiding a GNSO Working Group.<BR><BR>Further Information<BR><BR>&nbsp; &nbsp; *
