So Resolution 2 has intiated a PDP on the reasons for denial of
transfers. Since it was decided to do it without a Task Force (as was
the case with the Tasting PDP), we once again need to appoint a
representative (this is not a task force rep) to solicit RC views and
draft a statement.
The appointment is supposed to be done within 10 calendar days, and
the
statement submitted within 35 calendar days of the initiation of
the PDP
on 20 Nov. Of course, once again, there is no way to hold an election
for a representative within 10 days.
I propose that based on 4.1, 4.1.1. and 4.1.4. of our bylaws (quoted
below) that the ExCom request that any members interested in
performing
this function let them know and then the ExCom would discuss and
make an
appointment. It will still be a tight fit to solicit views, create a
statement, and get it submitted within the 35 days even if it is fast
tracked. But it we hold an election first, we will be at least a
month
late if not more.
4.1. The Executive Committee may divide its duties and
responsibilities
among the Members as it sees fit and conduct its business as it finds
necessary. Responsibilities of the Executive Committee shall include:
4.1.1. Coordinators; Sub-Committees. The Executive Committee may
appoint
"Coordinators" charged with functional supervision of activities
such as
membership.
4.1.4. Policy Recommendations. The Executive Committee shall be
charged
with broadly considering Constituency policies and making appropriate
recommendations to the Members.

Dear Council Members,

Resolution 1
Whereas, the Council has previously requested and received both the
15
June
2007 "GNSO Issues Report on Dispute Handling for IGO Names and
Abbreviations"
http://www.gnso.icann.org/issues/igo-names/issues-report-igo-drp-15jun07.pdf
and the 28 September 2007 "Staff Report on Draft IGO Domain Name
Dispute
Resolution Procedure;"
http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/gnso-igo-drp-report-v2-28sep07.pdf
and
Whereas, the Council believes that further work on the draft IGO
Domain
Name
Dispute Resolution Procedure is appropriate before voting on
whether to
initiate a policy development process on this issue; and
Whereas, the Intellectual Property Constituency is drafting and
expects
to
distribute not later than 28 November a revised proposed draft
dispute
resolution procedure,
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Council postpones until its
20
December meeting the vote on whether to initiate a policy development
process.
Resolution 2
Whereas the issues report on Inter-Registrar Transfers
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/transfers/issues-report-transfer-denial-clarifi
cations-19oct07.pdf
has been released and discussed
The GNSO council resolves to initiate a PDP to address the issues set
forth
in the Issues Report by the Staff.
Resolution 3 failed
Whereas the Council has decided to initiate a PDP on Inter-registrar
Transfers, a Task Force will be created according to the By-laws,
section 5
of Annex A of the GNSO Policy Development Process.
Thus
Pursuant to the ICANN Bylaws
http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#AnnexA-8
8. Procedure if No Task Force is Formed
a. If the Council decides not to convene a task force, the Council
will
request that, within ten (10) calendar days thereafter, each
constituency
appoint a representative to solicit the constituency's views on the
issue.
Each such representative shall be asked to submit a Constituency
Statement
to the Staff Manager within thirty-five (35) calendar days after
initiation
of the PDP.
b. The Council may also pursue other options that it deems
appropriate
to assist in the PDP, including appointing a particular individual or
organization to gather information on the issue or scheduling
meetings
for
deliberation or briefing. All such information shall be submitted
to the
Staff Manager within thirty-five (35) calendar days after
initiation of
the
PDP.
c. The Staff Manager will take all Constituency Statements, Public
Comment Statements, and other information and compile (and post on
the
Comment Site) an Initial Report within fifty (50) calendar days after
initiation of the PDP. Thereafter, the PDP shall follow the
provisions
of
Item 9 below in creating a Final Report.
