I’m pleased to see the suggestion
for a standard approach to the documents, which should be used by all staff. I
like the numbering of paragraphs and bullets. It is a very helpful approach
that is used in many of the international for a I work in and is so helpful as
a tool. Numbering lines on a page don’t work as well, when you then do
edits and have different versions. So I’d like to see a standard
implemented and then we as Councilors should adhere to that approach as well in
our various TF work, etc.
I’ll have substantive comments by
CoB
I’m supportive of Grant’s
other comments below.
Regards, Marilyn

TOR + Background Information
Liz et al
Attached is a marked up version of your
TOR
Besides the specific comments marked up I
provide the following additional comments:
Formatting
1 It would be desirable if all GNSO
staff reports/papers etc conformed to an agreed standard layout with a minimum
set of information (which I have provided here as mark ups)
2 please ensure all paragraphs and bullets
are numbered
3. Given that ICANN is an international
body, I recommend that dates be provided in full to avoid confusion. IE 1
September 2005, not 1/9/05 or 9/1/05. Dates of documents (unless it is
explicitly noted as the "print" date) should not use the MS Word
"insert date option", but rather be typed in. This avoids the
original date of the document changing.
4 I personally don't think the moving
of the questions/analysis to footers works. My preference is that they be moved
to an annex
I look forward advancing the development
of the TOR on the call.

Subject: [council] GNSO Review TOR
+ Background Information
Colleagues
Thank you to everyone who has provided comments so
far. Please find attached two documents. As per input from the
conference call last week, I have separated out the background information and
devised another document which looks more like a more formal TOR.
Could I ask you to review it - the Chair has asked for
comments to be in by Friday 2 Sept Brussels COB. He will then
forward an updated document to the Board for 8 Sept once any additional
comments are taken into account.
On the current timeframe, this means that the Board will not
receive the document seven days prior to any meeting.
Any questions, come back to me.
Kind regards.
Liz
