Philip _____ From: owner-gnso-osc@icann.org [mailto:owner-gnso-osc@icann.org] On Behalf Of Gomes, Chuck Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 3:17 PM To: gnso-osc@icann.org Cc: Mason Cole; Ken Bour Subject: [gnso-osc] Business Requirements for GNSO Replacement Website Mason Cole, the GNSO Improvements Communications WT chair, requested that OSC members review the attached Business Requirements document for a GNSO Replacement Website and provide any feedback directly to Ken Bour ( <mailto:ken.bour@verizon.net> ken.bour@verizon.net). Ken will collect, summarize, and process as appropriate for the WT. The WT is interested in the OSC's thoughts and reactions to this document with particular emphasis on making sure that it captures all the main requirements of a revised GNSO website. Please feel free to share the document and solicit comments from any web experts within your constituency or group as you see fit. Please provide your feedback NLT than 14 August. It is important to note that the WT has made a very conscious effort to not let the focus of their work be the website only. As a community that is technology-focused and full of technicians, it would be very, very easy to fall into a comfort zone of discussing the intricacies of site design, or ICANN process in the context of site design. A better site is not a panacea for better communications. Their work is meant to talk about improvement of communications from and into the GNSO - there will be several components to this, not just the site. The site is but one means for making those improvements. Thanks for your cooperation. Chuck
