Thanks Jeff et al.  I think that it could be a slippery road to go down to talk about GAC members being recruited as “Subject Matter Experts”.  I think the GGP reps have to determine what the qualifications are for SMEs and it would be difficult indeed to reject certain GAC members as SMEs and could cause a lot of “bad blood” if the group determines that a particular GAC member does not mee the SME requirements.

Thanks Susan and Marie.  I think Marie hit the nail on the head in that this is not intended as the only people that will decide the issues, but rather the umbrella group.  As we know, Applicant Support is one of the key priorities for the GAC, so some reassurance that they will be able to participate in the substantive discussions will be important in my humble opinion.

this is a good discussion.

 

Sincerely,

 

Jeff

 

 

 

I agree Marie, I think we should explain this.  It sounds as though there will need to be a reply to Manal anyway, even if we decide not to include in a response to the Communique – but I am in the camp that thinks we should not limit the Communique response just to Formal Advice if there’s an issue where the Council’s response can assist the Board.

 

 

Forgive the short message; I’m in a (non-ICANN 😉) meeting.

 

I think we need to remember, and point out, how careful we were to keep this group small and agile & avoid the establishment of a “mirror Council”. The idea is that the group would be able to organise and draw on SMEs in AS as appropriate, as outlined in the SubPro Report. So can we not explain that to the GAC, and tell them that we will of course be turning to relevant GAC members as those SMEs but that this is just the umbrella group over-seeing that operational work before it is returned to Council for any policy development as appropriate?

 

Thanks,

 

Marie
