Subject: [EXTERNAL] - [ccnso-council] Proposed ccNSO response to Board Caucus on ccPDP3-RM

Dear Councillors,

Please find enclosed the proposed ccNSO response to the Board Caucus regarding their questions about the draft ccPDP3-RM policy, and a proposed cover note.  See https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KUmgDFb_WKR94U4KH5kkjurHXBlt0j7wFnI_S9gmjPE/edit?usp=sharing

The Caucus oversees the policy implementation feasibility. A group of members of the ccPDP3-RM Working Group and Councillors prepared a draft response.  The goal is to approve the responses and the cover note at the upcoming Council meeting.

The cover note addresses the following:

• Intro on how structure of responses
• Invite the Caucus and staff to meet to discuss the requests and responses. This was suggested to avoid losing time sending letters back and forth. 
• A response on the foundational assumption made in the cover note which paraphrased asks to confirm that the CCRM Policy is limited to a procedural review. So, the substantive material review of an IFO Decision is not subject to a CCRM review.
• Request for a formal clarification of scope of section 15 a of Annex B, what can the ccNSO expect to be included in Procedures for Board consideration.
• Alert - Companionship of the implementation process - Link Guideline.

Best regards,

Joke Braeken
