Hi,
This thread brings up the fact hat we did receive the Issue report on 19
October and given our resolve to meet the time limits in the by-laws, we
should be discussing the issues report and voting on whether to commence a PDP
on the issues in the report no later then 3 Nov 2007.
Our schedule is already full for Wednesday and there is nothing on that
schedule I would feel comfortable either shortening the time on, or moving to
a later meeting. We do have a meeting scheduled for Thursday 1400-1700
which is slated for an open discussion of input from the meetings. I
would like to spend 30 minutes of this 3 hour time slot to discuss the issues
report and decide on whether to initiate the PDP process; i.e. to vote on
two motions:
1. Whether to initiate a PDP process as recommended by Staff on page 22
of the issues report:
6.1 Staff
has confirmed that the proposed issues are within the scope of
the policy
development process and the GNSO. It is
reasonable from
the staff’s
perspective to expect that greater precision and certainty
around the
terms of the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy would be
beneficial
to the community generally, particularly for registrants, as
well as
those parties (gTLD registries and registrars) who are obligated
to comply
with the policy provisions. Staff
therefore recommends that
the GNSO
Council proceed with a policy development process limited
to
consideration of the issues discussed in this report.
2. Whether to create a Task Force for this purpose.
In the spirit of trying to met the timelines as outlined in the by-laws,
and as supported by the council in our last meting, I hope there is not a
strong objection to allowing this vote to occur as part of the Thursday
meeting. If there is strong objection, then I believe we will need
to vote on a specific delay as part of the Wednesday meeting.
thanks
a.
