FYI From: <philippe.fouquart@orange.com> Date: Monday, 8 February 2021 at 17:10 Subject: PDP to Review the Transfer Policy - Input requested on composition and timing - Please respond by Wed 16 February Dear Supporting Organization, Advisory Committee, Stakeholder Group, and Constituency Chairs, I am writing to request your input on the composition and timing of a potential GNSO Policy Development Process Working Group (PDP WG) to the Review of the Transfer Policy. As you may know, the GNSO Council requested a Preliminary Issue Report on this topic and has now received the Final Issue Report from Policy Support Staff. The GNSO Council will be considering whether to initiate a PDP to review the Transfer Policy during its 18 February meeting and will also be discussing the composition of the Working Group should it be initiated. The draft Charter included as Annex A of the Final Issue Report describes a Working Group with a representative model and a limited number of members. The following summarizes the proposed roles: Members, who are responsible for active participation, preliminary deliberations, and consensus; Alternates, who only participate if a Member is not available, but will be responsible for keeping up with Working Group; Observers, who may follow the work but do not have posting or speaking rights during WG meetings. The GNSO Council recognizes that the subject matter of this PDP may be of greater interest to some groups than others. We also recognize that community volunteer resources may be limited and available resources may depend on the timing of the PDP’s initiation. Therefore, the GNSO Council is interested in your group’s input on the following questions: Is your group comfortable with the proposed membership model as outlined above? Can you provide an indication of how many members you believe your group would like to assign to this Working Group? Do you have any concerns from a resource perspective about the PDP beginning as soon as possible? If so, please provide details. In order to ensure that your input is considered as part of the 18 February GNSO Council discussion, please provide responses by 16 February at 23:59 UTC. Thank you in advance for your feedback and I look forward to providing an update soon. Kind regards, Philippe Fouquart GNSO Chair _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ce message et ses pieces jointes peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles ou privilegiees et ne doivent donc pas etre diffuses, exploites ou copies sans autorisation.
