Hi, Does the Charter exist as a separate document, or is it only to be found as an annex to the final issues report? Also has there been any in depth discussion in the council of the charter yet. I don't recall it. As you recall NCSG has varied concerns, often expressed, about the scope of addition of special protections beyond those that have been already been granted. This concern translates into concern over the mandate in the charter to deal with anything that had been discussed during the IGO/INGO WG. A lot was discussed. I am also not clear on the scope of identifiers that can be considered. Obviously it goes beyond those already defined as excluded for second level, but I do not understand the permissible scope for this PDP, and I have spent a far bit of time bouncing around between the Final Report and the Final Issues report trying to figure that out. For example I wasn't able to answer the simple question: Are acronyms in scope for considerations? I am sure I am missed it, but I missed it. So as we approach the vote I have to admit that I do not understand the scope, and this came full face the other day when I tried to explain it to an NCSG open policy meeting. I thus also do not have a good view of the NSCG viewpoints on this except to understand that they run the entire gambit. I need to understand the scope better and may not be ready to vote at this point. I should note that while I am personally inclined to support opening the UDRP and URS beyond business marks to support intergovernmental and civil society needs, some of the NCSG is much less inclined to do so. This makes it critical to understand the full scope. Apologies if it is crystal clear to everyone else and I am just missing it. Thomas, I expect it is all crystal clear to you, so I would appreciate some help in understanding the scope. Thanks avri On 05-Jun-14 11:35, Thomas Rickert wrote:
All, Jonathan has kindly proposed the two motions we will discuss later today. I herewith second the motions.
As you will recall, I have chaired the IGO/INGO PDP WG and would very much like to encourage Councillors to submit questions there might be relating to the motions to the Council list. This will enable me and staff to have all information you might be asking ready prior or in the call.
Please note that the motions are a follow-up to the recommendation we unanimously approved previously and in which we recommended this very PDP should be conducted.
Thanks and kind regards, Thomas

All,
Please see attached for two proposed motions for the next council meeting.
Ordinarily, I expect that these would have come to you from Thomas Rickert as chair of the PDP WG that developed the recommendation for the Issue Report.
However, since Thomas is currently on vacation, I have decided to propose the motions.
Thanks,
Jonathan
