Hi folks, With regards to the Summary Report which is to be discussed tomorrow, there are several parts of it that I disagree with, which I'll discuss orally tomorrow during our call. However, some parts deserve a written response, given that they contain supporting links (and the WebEx interface really sucks, compared to Adobe Connect) so it's best to post them in advance of the call. 1. On page 2, it's asserted that "the number of active participants is extremely low" (it's also repeated on page 3, i.e. "small number of participants' views"). However, that's not consistent with the facts. For example, the IRTP-D PDP, the most recently completed GNSO PDP according to: https://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/inactive has its attendance logs at: https://community.icann.org/display/ITPIPDWG/Attendance+Log If one adds up the "total attended" column, and divide it by the total number of meetings, one obtains the average attendance per meeting: Sum of total attended column = 553 Total meetings = 56 Average = 9.88 per meeting It is of note that both the GNSO Council and the ICANN Board adopted their recommendations: https://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/active/irtp-d Now, let's compare this to the IGO PDP and its attendance records: https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoicrpmpdp/Attendance+Records Sum of total attended column = 711 Total meetings = 71 Average = 10.01 per meeting So, there has actually been HIGHER average attendance (10.01 vs 9.88 per meeting) in this IGO PDP, compared to the IRTP-D whose work was successfully completed. 2. On page 3, it's claimed that adoption of Option 4 "will require a Charter amendment" for that other PDP." I'm not convinced that that's a requirement. The RPM PDP charter is at: https://community.icann.org/display/RARPMRIAGPWG/WG+Charter?preview=3D/5872= 9944/58730036/Charter%20for%20RPM%20PDP_final.pdf and states on page 3 of the charter that: "(b) Coordination with Other Parallel Efforts In the course of its work, the Working Group should monitor the progress of and, where appropriate, coordinate with, other ICANN groups that are working on topics that may overlap with or ***otherwise provide useful input to this PDP.*** .... In addition, the RPM PDP Working Group should also take into consideration the work/outcome of the TMCH Independent Review, the CCT Review, and ***any other relevant GNSO policy development***" (emphasis added) So, I think this situation was already covered by the RPM PDP's current charter, and doesn't need an amendment. As I mentioned earlier, there are other parts of the Summary Report I have concerns about, but I'll save them for tomorrow's call, as they don't require any links/quotes.

Dear IGO-INGO Curative Rights Policy Development Process Working Group members,
I write to update you, in my role as GNSO Council Liaison to this Working Group, on the status of the WG member consultation process that was set out in my email of 9 March 2018 and then actioned during ICANN61 and following.
As envisaged in my email of 9 March, staff and I are preparing a report for the Working Group on the input received at and since ICANN61, with recommendations on next steps from me and Heather Forrest, the GNSO Chair. We anticipate posting the report to the WG list at the end of this week, for discussion at a WG meeting to be held at the group's usual time next Thursday, 19 April. At that meeting, I will be happy to present a summary of the report and its recommendations, and answer questions from WG members.
An email from staff with call details will be circulated shortly. Bear in mind that we do not have Adobe Connect, so alternate arrangements will be made to support our call.
In the meantime, I sincerely thank you for taking the time to provide me with your feedback, which contributes to the substantial work of the group on this challenging policy area.
Kind regards,
Susan Kawaguchi
Councilor for the Business Constituency
