Many thanks Brian and Mason for sharing your thoughts ..

I fully agree with Brian that we should not continue discussing early engagement in the abstract only and fully agree that the IGO-INGO Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP may be a good case to test engagement and collaboration between the GAC and GNSO .. But I also note that this will not be testing neither EARLY engagement nor the handling of simultaneous PDPs in terms of prioritization and streamlining .. However, we can still do and benefit from both:

-          Use the IGO-INGO Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP as a test case for GAC-GNSO collaboration, where views of both constituencies are different

-          Agree on a mechanism (quick-look, Triage committee, …etc) that would change the pattern of GAC engagement, maximizing it at the earliest stages

I can see an important and different role for Mason to play in both .. It's also good to know that you agree that there may be instances where the GNSO might know upfront that GAC input would be necessary ..

 

I do apologize for the delay in coming back with the name of a counterpart for Mason from the GAC side .. As mentioned earlier, Olof and I have already conveyed this request to the GAC leadership but have not yet heard back from them .. As you all know, too many important and urgent things are ongoing simultaneously .. I will send them a reminder and hope to get back to you soonest .. Meanwhile if you already know GAC colleagues who are interested it would be good to know who they are .. I can also cc them on my reminder to the GAC leadership ..

 

I fully agree to having a face-to-face in Singapore .. and yes, we can try an informal meeting over lunch this time .. A 6:30 pm meeting on the Sun. did not find much participants in London .. We can also try to keep it simple and flexible .. One option may be that each one grabs his/her lunch and we gather in a room allocated for our meeting ..

 

Looking forward to hearing views of other colleagues ..

 

Kind Regards

--Manal

Brian --

 

Many thanks for this note.  Very helpful.

 

Speaking in my capacity as liaison, let me give a short update:  I've been in touch with several GAC members interested in the subject of curative rights mechanisms for IGOs/INGOs (as I was directed by the council to do) and am seeking the clarification the council is looking for.  You're right that it's a good test case, though please note not EXACTLY one, as my involvement has started well after the PDP commenced.  I anticipate that for future PDPs, I will contact the GAC at the issues report phase, or otherwise as early as possible.

 

It would be tremendously beneficial for me to have someone in the GAC with whom I could interface day-to-day.  If you know of interested persons, I'm very happy to speak with them.

 

I think a face-to-face in Singapore would be a very productive use of time.  Thanks for suggesting it.

 

Best --

 

Mason

Dear All,

 

I want to take this opportunity to share a few thoughts on our ongoing discussions.  I agree that we cannot and should not continue to discuss early engagement in the abstract only.  In addition, I agree that there is room for the GNSO to take on a more proactive role in early engagement of the GAC.  A clearly defined set of triggers on the GNSO side is certainly a possibility.  While it is true that the GNSO would not want to decide for the GAC in all cases whether an issue is deserving of the GAC’s attention, there will most certainly be instances where the GNSO might know upfront that GAC input would be necessary, such as issues on which the GAC has provided advice in the past and issues that unambiguously relate to treaties or national laws.

 

By way of example, discussion arose during the November 13, 2014 GNSO Council meeting concerning the IGO-INGO Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP Working Group Letter sent to Mason as GNSO Liaison to GAC.  In the letter, the WG is proactively seeking Mason’s assistance in engaging the GAC on certain issues raised by the GAC’s Los Angeles Communiqué, namely, discrepancies between the GAC advice and the directives contained in the Working Group Charter.  As I understand it, Mason is awaiting further instruction on how to proceed.  This seems to me to be a great opportunity to refine and test the mechanisms we have been discussing for engagement and collaboration between the GAC and GNSO.

 

In addition, there is one item that we did not discuss during the call this week but that I believe we should revisit – a GAC point person to serve as Mason’s counterpart for day-to-day coordination.  I may know one or two people who may be interested. 

 

In terms of planning for Singapore, I think it would be beneficial to have a face-to-face meeting of this group, perhaps in an informal setting over lunch.  We can invite other members of our constituent groups along in an effort to generate greater support for the work of the CG.  In a smaller, interactive setting, we may be able pinpoint more precisely the type and amount of information necessary for effective collaboration.  I would be happy to reach out to Glen offline to determine the feasibility of planning the lunch.

 

Thank you in advance for your consideration.  I welcome your feedback on the above items.

 

Best regards,

 

Brian
