Dear Councillors,
As you may know, the ATRT 2 has published a report + has listed a number of recommendations, which they wish to receive input to by 22 November 2013.
Whilst it is an important document, it is also massive and the recommendations many - and the time frame to reply to it is very short.
The Triage group has therefore been thinking of how to most efficiently gather input from the Council and community and is suggesting following:
1) Extract those topics that are of interest to the ccTLDs
2) Get Councillors to volunteer to focus and take the lead on one of the topics during this week - their role would be to coordinate questions/remarks.
3) Make a call for Volunteers from the community to prepare input (which can be questions and/or comments posted by email either before the Buenos Aires Meeting, or during the Buenos Aires Meeting - we have scheduled a session with the ATRT 2 team on Tuesday afternoon)
To point 1 - The topics have already been extracted:
* Section/recomendation 1-3 on quality of the Board * Section/Recommendation 4: mechanism for SO/AC consultation on executive and administrative issues to be addressed at Board level * Section/Recommendation 7: explore mechanisms to improve public comment through adjusted time allotments * Section/Recommendation 8: capacity of language services to increase participation * Section/Recommendation 9, and it sub recommendations ( consideration of decision-making inputs and appeal processes * Section/Recommendation 11: effectiveness of Review Process and its sub-recomendations * Section/Recommendation 12: Financial Accountability and Transparency * Section /recommendation 10: Although focused on GNSO PDP may have some impact on ccNSO.
Please, let me know if you agree on this way forward by the end of Friday, 1 November - AND - if you agree - which topic you could take the lead on!
Thanks!
Gabi
