Dear Councilors, I am writing to seek your urgent input on the proposed composition of the Transfer Policy PDP Working Group. Following the call for volunteers (see staff's email below), the Council small team (consisting of Carlton, Olga, Greg and myself) has been working on finalizing the draft charter, mainly on the composition of the Working Group. In coming up with our proposed composition, the small team has taken into account the comments that Councilors made during the February Council meeting (the group size should be around 20) and the community responses to Council chair's email soliciting their interest and number of representatives. Specifically, only the RrSG and the RySG indicated the number of representatives they are likely to assign to this effort: RrSG indicated: 8 - 15 RySG indicated: 2 - 5 The small team is proposing the following group structure (based on a "representative model") to be included in the Charter: each SG/C/SO/AC that did not respond to Philippe's email or responded but indicated "no representatives": 1 member + 1 alternate RySG: 3 members + 3 alternates RrSG: 10 members + 10 alternates For those of you who are not familiar with the PDP 3.0 Improvements, your may find these links helpful: PDP 3.0 Improvement #2: Comparison Table of Working Group Models(10 February 2020) PDP 3.0 Implementation: Revised GNSO Working Group Charter Template(10 February 2020) In order to meet the deadline for submitting documents for the March Council meeting, please provide input or feedback within the next 48 hours, by 23:59 UTC 12 March 2021. Apologies for such short notice and thank you for your attention in advance.
