Dear Councillors, As Council liaison to the IRTP Part C Working Group, I have been asked by the WG to convey certain information and request certain formalities of the council. As noted on the agenda for tomorrow's GNSO Council meeting under item 9.1, the GNSO Council is requested, per the requirements of the GNSO Working Group Guidelines, to confirm the chairs for the IRTP Part C PDP Working Group. The Working Group has decided to opt for co-Chairs with one Chair, James Bladel, from the contracted party house and the other Chair, Avri Doria, from the non-contracted party house. Pending the Council's confirmation, James and Avri are fulfilling the chair role on an interim basis. The Working Group is expected to finalize its proposed work plan in the next couple of weeks and will share this with the GNSO Council accordingly. Taking into account the pending approval of the new GNSO PDP by the ICANN Board, the WG has expressed a desire to try and incorporate some of the enhancements of the new PDP process in its work plan as long as these do not conflict with or contravene the required elements of the existing PDP under which it operates. For further information, please see the WG wiki at https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoirtppdpwg/Home. Both I and Markia will also be on the upcoming Council call to assist with any queries. Sincerely, Zahid Jamil Barrister-at-law Jamil & Jamil Barristers-at-law 219-221 Central Hotel Annexe Merewether Road, Karachi.
