Dear All, As discussed during the last meeting, we are looking to form a small committee of interested Council members to work with staff on the implementation of the GNSO PDP Improvements (see latest version attached), particularly items 3 (Increase pool of PDP volunteers) and 5 (Improved online tools & training) for which the next steps have been identified as follows: * Review existing outreach efforts and determine whether there are any actions the GNSO Council should be taking to increase the pool of PDP volunteers (item 3) * Review existing online tools & training efforts and determine whether there are any additional actions should be taken by the GNSO Council and/or provide input on how existing activities may be further improved / modified in order to contribute to the success of the PDP (item 5) If you are interested to assist in this effort, please let Glen and/or myself know off-list so we can add you to the mailing list we'll create for this effort. Thanks, Marika

Dear All, The GNSO Council passed the following resolution on 23 January 2014. A motion to approve the Charter for the GNSO Metrics and Reporting (non-Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group (WG) WHEREAS The GNSO Council requested an Issue Report on metrics and reporting at its meeting on 17 Oct 2012http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/uofr-final-31mar13-en.pdf On 16 May 2013 the GNSO Council deliberated a recommendation on the Uniformity of Reporting from the Registration Abuse Policies Working Group (RAPWG) and approved a non-PDP Working Group to consider metrics and reporting; "The GNSO Council further approves the creation of a drafting team to develop a charter for a non-PDP Working Group to consider additional methods for collecting necessary metrics and reporting from Contracted Parties and other external resources to aid the investigation." Following a call for volunteers, a Drafting Team was formed and its members have developed a draft charter for consideration by the GNSO Council; http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/metrep-charter-10jan14-en.pdf The GNSO Council has reviewed the draft charter submitted by the Drafting Team. RESOLVED, The GNSO Council approves the following charter for the GNSO Metrics & Reporting non-PDP WG and appoints Mikey O'Connor as the GNSO Council Liaison to the GNSO Metrics & Reporting non-PDP WG. http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/metrep-charter-10jan14-en.pdf The GNSO Council further directs that the work of the GNSO Metrics & Reporting non-PDP WG be initiated as soon as possible after an adequate duration to conduct a call for volunteers has occurred. Until formation of the WG, the GNSO Council Liaison shall act as interim chair. The Working Group shall, to the extent that it is practical, follow the rules outlined in the GNSO Working Group Guidelines http://gnso.icann.org/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-07apr11-en.pdf Please let me know if you have any questions.
