Subject: [Gac-gnso-cg] For review & input - day-to-day co-operation track

Dear All,

Following yesterday's meeting, we would like to encourage you to review and comment on the objectives and expectations that have been identified in the attached document in relation to day-to-day ongoing co-operation as follows: 

• For the GAC 
• Obtain updates & alerts
• Better understanding of GNSO working methods
• Create greater sensitivity within the GNSO regarding what may constitute public policy concerns and would/could require GAC input
• Mechanisms to raise issues that would require GNSO policy consideration
• Obtain responses to questions and be able to convey questions / requires for further information
• Mechanism for finding common grounds in case of conflicting views
• For the GNSO
• Encourage timely GAC input into GNSO Policy Development Activities
• Provide a mechanism to flag upcoming GNSO policy issues / answer / relay GAC questions
• Better understanding of GAC working methods
• Mechanism for ongoing dialogue
• Mechanism for finding common grounds in case of conflicting views

Also, the following options to achieve these objectives were identified (not necessarily mutually exclusive):

1. GNSO Liaison(s) to the GAC
2. Group of existing GNSO Council PDP liaisons interacting with the GAC
3. GAC Chairs / GNSO Chairs regular interaction
4. Topic Leads / Buddy System
5. Rethinking recurring joint meetings / conference calls
6. Further develop / expand early awareness & notification notices

If there are any options that should be explored as part of the day-to-day cooperation track, please feel free to share those with the mailing list. 

For your information, during the course of next week, we'll start a separate threat to commence deliberations on options 1 and 2.

Thanks,

Marika
