Panel Questions

1. What is from the perspective of your community the main priority with regard to the discussion on policy vs. implementation
2. Do you believe that an overall framework could be created for all policy implementation activities within ICANN or should specific models be created that would apply for ASO/ccNSO/GNSO policy implementation activities?
3. One of the questions that was raised in the staff discussion paper is how to deal with instances where no consensus can be reached on key issues or competing ‘policy advice’ is received from different SO/ACs? From your perspective, should additional mechanisms be developed that would ‘force’ cross-community engagement and decision-making (see for example EU conciliation procedure  http://www.se2009.eu/en/meetings_news/2009/11/4/how_does_the_conciliation_procedure_work.html) or should alternative approaches be explored?
4. What should be the next step in addressing this issue? Some have suggested the creation of a cross-community WG. What is your view on this approach? Are there certain elements that would need a cross-community approach while others should be addressed within respective SO/ACs?
