Hello WG Members,

In response to Paul’s request on the peculiarities of GNSO and the Policy Development Process. There are two courses on the ICANN Learn page: https://learn.icann.org/#/ which would be relevant: 502 Getting to know the GNSO and 503 ICANN Policy Development Processes (PDPs). These are useful for all of us to review and refresh, whether it is someone’s first or someone’s twentieth PDP.

Thank you,

John R. Emery, Ph.D.

Thanks Eberhard,

You raise a good point. There are peculiarities of how the GNSO works. It would be helpful for us to have a webinar for anybody from outside of the GNSO, or even those from within the GNSO for whom this is their first PDP, to learn how things are done at the GNSO.  I believe it will smooth much of our process once we all get on the same page about our process. 

Staff, please set that up. 

Best,

Paul

All,

this is the first Reference I have ever seen to "Implementation Guidance". Shortened in terms for brevity.

Given that I vice-chaired two ccPDP's where implementation turned out to be complex, I wonder where I can read up on this.

greetings, el

[…]We can certainly add something like that to Implementation Guidance if we decided we want to encourage ICANN Staff to build such a thing.[…]
