Thanks for this great summary Heather, and I agree with Ed, wonderful to see this collaboration. I vote for deferring PPSAI, not just because I am always eager to defer PPSAI, but the CCWG deserves to be the focus of our attention at the moment. I would support any move on the part of the GNSO to say slow down, your deadlines are ridiculous. Don't anyone on the Board or executive staff dare to ruminate thoughtfully in public about volunteer burnout, shedding crocodile tears....this last 6 months has been a travesty in a multi-stakeholder environment. Unacceptable. thanks Stephanie Perrin On 2015-12-10 7:54, Edward Morris wrote:
Hi Heather, It's great to see everyone working together so closely in a collaborative manner. This bodes well for the coming year. I'll defer to those more versed in the PPSAI as to whether our consideration thereof can be postponed. I strongly support the proposal to postpone consideration of the substance of the CCWG, in particular, to a later extraordinary meeting. We in the NCSG, as I'm sure is true in the CSG, are working hard to develop a response to the third draft CCWG report. This rushed timetable, expecting a substantive response from our SG's and Constituencies at our regularly scheduled Council meeting just 17 days from release of the draft report, and only 5 days from planned release of the translations, is not conducive to the production of a quality response. As a chartering organisation of the CCWG we have a special responsibility to get this done right. I'm gratified that our leadership team is working to develop a plan and a timeframe, recognising the obstacles mentioned, that will allow us to do so. Thanks, Heather, for your great work here. I should also note that it's great to see the NCPH list in use. I think it can be a valuable tool when used, as here, to coordinate, where possible, our work on Council.

Dear colleagues,
Last night James, Donna and I, as new GNSO Council leadership, had a meeting with ICANN staff to discuss both general matters (working methods, timelines, etc) and specific matters (upcoming Council meeting agenda, incl CCT and CCWG-A).
The upcoming meeting agenda dominated the discussion. There is general consensus that our usual 2-hour meeting is not sufficient to cover CCT nominations, discuss CCWG-A, and work through several motions, including PPSAI Final Report. There were several suggestions:
* Defer anything not strictly time sensitive to January (PPSAI was suggested here) * Introduce CCT and CCWG-A next Thursday and then convene an extraordinary meeting to discuss substance, bearing in mind the 7-day notice rule and proximity of Christmas holidays
Your input on these are very gratefully received.
More generally, James proposed that we 3 work as a team and that all invitations extended to the Chair, where possible, go out to the 2 Vice Chairs as well. This seems like a positive development but we'll see how it works in practice.
I hope that you find this brief report helpful and look forward to receiving your thoughts.
Best wishes,
Heather
