Mary and all,
By way of background, unlike the Charter drafting groups, which are
typically kept relatively small, when we get to the stage where the PDP Working
Group is being convened, the draft Working Group Guidelines currently being
developed encourage broad community participation that reflects “the
diversity and representativeness of the GNSO community”. Typically
the size of Working Groups are not limited (unlike Task Forces used in the
past) and interested community members are encouraged to join. There is a
draft Guideline that members of a WG are expected to be active participants
(others might opt for an observer role) but the general rule of thumb on
working group membership is openness and inclusiveness. This is a link to the
most recent draft Guidelines prepared by the Working Groups Work Team. https://st.icann.org/data/workspaces/icann-ppsc/attachments/working_group_team:20100128132522-0-11829/original/Working%2520Group%2520Guidelines%2520-%2520FINAL%2520-%252028%2520Jan%25202010.doc
Please note that several Working Groups currently underway have
multiple participants from the same constituency or stakeholder group (even
more community participation in most current groups would be even better!!!).
Thanks, Liz

Integration PDP
Chuck and everyone,
are there any limits/guidelines as to how many from each SG/Constituency/AC?
I'm assuming that
given the time line, subject matter and other workload, we should not be proceeding
with a huge number of people.
(sorry if I should
know this out of the WG procedures or something, but figured if there was
indeed a figure, this was the expert list to ask!)
Thanks,
Mary

In follow-up to
Council approval to initiate a Vertical Integration PDP and specifically the
action item to form a drafting team to develop a charter for that PDP, I am
hereby requesting volunteers for the DT. Volunteers need not be
Councilors. If you or someone
in your SG/Constituency/AC want to volunteer for this WT, please respond on
this list not later than 9 February. Chuck |
