Note that I mistakenly sent this to the RN-WG list instead of the Council. Please accept my apologies; I wanted to send it out sooner. I hope there is time to review it before today's meeting. Chuck ________________________________ From: Gomes, Chuck Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 5:58 PM To: RN-WG Mailing List (gnso-rn-wg@icann.org) Subject: Suggested edits for the SoW for the Working Group on "Protecting the rights of others" Importance: High I would like to first of all thank Kristina and Ute for their efforts in revising the outline of the SoW for the proposed Working Group on "Protecting the rights of others". I appreciate the work they did to incorporate the edits that several of us suggested. The attached document contains some edits that some of us from the RyC recommend be made before the Council takes action on the SoW in our meeting tomorrow. Note that the edits are highlighted using the Word tracking function. I will be happy to answer questions about the suggested edits on this list prior to the meeting and in our meeting tomorrow. Please note that I added at the end of the document several paragraphs from the RN-WG approved SoW. My intent in doing this was to hopefully help us as the Council be able to approve a document tomorrow that will facilitate a quick startup of the WG. In particular, I added the paragraphs relating to the following: Formation of the Working Group; Voting; Membership; Working Timeline. Note that the Membership paragraphs include language about an interim chair and permanent chair. Except for the timeline, I simply cut and pasted the text from the RN-WG; for the timeline, I changed the language to correspond to what I think to be the targets that may be desired by the Council.
