FWIW, the Policy & Implementation Working Group is actively working on developing recommendations on 'A process for developing gTLD policy, perhaps in the form of ³Policy Guidance², including criteria for when it would be appropriate to use such a process (for developing policy other than ³Consensus Policy²) instead of a GNSO Policy Development Process' (as per one of its charter questions). Further details about its activities can be found here: https://community.icann.org/x/y1V-Ag. Best regards, Marika On 08/05/14 16:39, "Avri Doria" <avri@acm.org> wrote:

I'd also like to support the point that Volker made that we need a faster way to resolve these issues in the future as we're bound by the policy-making tools we have at our disposal. Is that something we could refer to the SCI to look at?
I agree, we need some additonal processes. Not short cuts through the PDP as has been suggested in the past but some specific tools for making bottom-up decisions quickly upon request.
It is a good topic for the SCI, for the GNSO review, and for the P&I Working group.
