hi all,

could somebody unpack this a little bit? "whether the current GNSO PDP process satisfies the needs of the multi stakeholder model and Internet users" is a pretty broad topic (to put it mildly). presuming that this is going to be a 1-hour call, 90 minutes at most, i would find it helpful if the ATRT2 could come up with 3-4 questions you would like us to think about and build an agenda from there.

thanks,

mikey

Dear All, It is my understanding that my colleague Charla has been touched with you to schedule a call with the Second Accountability & Transparency Review Team (ATRT2). The ATRT2's activities are focused on paragraph 9.1 of the AoC where ICANN commits to maintain and improve robust mechanisms for public input, accountability, and transparency so as to ensure that the outcomes of its decision-making will reflect the public interest and be accountable to all stakeholders. As part of its mandate, the ATRT has decided to review the effectiveness of ICANN Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Policy Development Process (PDP) and so determine whether the current GNSO PDP process satisfies the needs of the multi stakeholder model and Internet users. Given your experience and expertise, the ATRT2 is interested in hearing your thoughts and wishes you to share your unique perspective with them. The ATRT2 has a face-to-face meeting scheduled for next week (14–15–16 August) in Los Angeles. Would you be available - tentatively on Wednesday, 14 August - to join their session remotely? Please confirm your availability via <http://www.doodle.com/x9nk6czhz2exvsyh>http://www.doodle.com/x9nk6czhz2exvsyh by Thursday, 8 August – COB. The Review Team has received your request for preparatory materials. Rest assured that we will provide you with more information as soon as available. I look forward to reading your doodle poll entries and thank you for your help. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
