Proposed Timeline for GAC-GNSO CG - 2 March 2015.docx

Updates / Action items - 2310/9 3 meeting:

Welcome to GNSO Liaison to the GAC

• Confirm GAC agenda when available to Mason, including which meetings are closed
• Consider when / how introductions should be made during the ICANN meeting

Day-to-day work / PDP Track

• Document (day-to-day work track) is not intended to be presented / shared in LA - to be used to capture brainstorming / ideas and derive from there suggestions to be shared in LA
• What triggers are there on the GNSO side that would 'require' involvement of the GAC, for example previous GAC advice, link of issue to national laws?
• Joint committee of some form could facilitate such two-way conversation as well as identifying when public policy issues are involved (what role can the GNSO play in this, what role does the GAC have). Need to discuss how this could be done in a pilot format. Possible permanent changes could/would need to be reflected in the GNSO Operating Procedures. Further conversations in both the GAC and GNSO may be helpful to obtain input.
• Need to prepare well for the discussion in LA as not everyone may have followed this conversation as closely
• Consider sharing examples of current briefing documents and papers with GAC to obtain more concrete input on how these can be improved / modified.
• Consider putting forward ideas / suggestions for consideration and obtain input from both communities which may provide further guidance on how to work out some of those ideas in further detail
• Proposal to slow things further down may not be well received - mapping out processes in tandem (GNSO and GAC) may give a better indication if/how/when additional time may be needed
• Early stages of PDP are fairly slow - maybe question is to refocus GAC attention on those phases instead of when recommendations are already fairly baked.
• Ability for GAC to identify experts on certain issues could greatly facilitate work on topics that are considered to have an impact on public policy

2. Membership Update

Olga Cavalli has joined the CG as a representative from the GAC.

GNSO to review distribution of members amongst SG/C to ensure balance and adequate representation.

Action item: Olof to confirm membership from the GAC side and ensure all members on the list are still interested in staying on.

Action item: Marika to confirm membership from the GNSO side and ensure all members on the list are still interested in staying on.

3. ICANN meeting in Singapore & current status review

Presentation to and discussion with the GAC during the GAC-GNSO joint session. Support expressed in the GAC Communique to go ahead with the Preliminary Recommendations concerning Issue Scoping. Formal approval anticipated during next week's GNSO Council meeting (19 March) to go ahead with trial period.

4. Review draft work plan and discuss way forward

What are the success criteria that will be used to evaluate the quick look mechanism? Maybe the CG should have a wider look, beyond how the GAC and GNSO may make assessment, at what the success measures are for this as well as possible future recommendations. Should CG have closer look at whether/how the success criteria are met, and if not, what was the point of failure? Ensure that success criteria are identified for any and all recommendations that are developed by the CG.

Action item: develop / map success criteria for pilot (Amr, Carlos and Olga to develop first draft)

In relation to a possible procedure for how to proceed in cases where GAC early input is in conflict with a GNSO proposal and a mutual agreement could not be found - is it possible to have a very firm process around that, or is it something that should be evaulated in process. Sub-processes could potentially be identified for each stages in case GAC advice/input differs from GNSO (preliminary) recommendations/viewpoint. Key issue is to exchange information and enhance understanding between the different parties which is aimed to increase mutual understanding and reduce potential for conflicts.

Merge two work streams and work though these as a committee of the whole. Support for proposed meeting schedule (meeting every three weeks).

Action item: Staff to prepare list of items that need to be worked on, including proposed priority order. Review reference materials that have been prepared earlier and could serve as a starting point.

Next meeting will be scheduled for 24 March at 14.00 UTC.
