Subject: [Gnso-newgtld-wg-wt3] First Meeting of Work Track 3

Hi all,

The first meeting of Work Track 3 (String Contention / Objections &
Dsputes) is scheduled for *Tuesday, 30 August 2016 at 15:00 UTC*.  You
should have all received an invitation by now. The meeting will last 1 hour.

The Agenda for this first meeting:

0) Review Agenda

1) Introductions / Statements of Interest (SOIs) - All participants in
the  group must submit SOI.  Most of you have already submitted one as
you are members of the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures group.  But anyone
who has not done so is requested to take care of this.

2)  Pick Leadership for the Track 3 Sub Team.  This can be one person or
several who share the responsibilities, it is up to the group.  The
requirement is for at least one person to take on the task.

Responsibilities include:

*   Coordinating the efforts of the Sub Team
*   Communicating the status of the Sub Team to the rest of the
leadership team and the full WG.  This includes participating in a
weekly leadership call to keep the work moving and coordinated.
*   Working with staff and the WG co-chairs as needed to get the work
done, which includes developing the content for the full WG meetings and
WG reports.
*   Acting with neutrality toward the Sub Team participants and the
issues being dealt with within the group in the effort to help the group
come to consensus on preliminary recommendations.  All recommendation
will be brought to the full group for discussion and
possible approval as PDP WG recommendations.

It would be helpful to start this discussion on the mailing list before
the meeting on Tuesday, when anyone who wishes to volunteer will be
asked to speak up. Volunteering on this list, before the meeting, is
optimal.  Also feel free to nominate those who you believe would be good
in the role.  Note that that 2 co-chairs of the full WG (Jeff and I)
have disqualified themselves from this role.  We will remain involved as
needed to assist the leaders and to coordinate with the full working
group. Jeff and I plan to make it a point for at least one of us to
attend the sub team meetings.

A list of Sub Team participants can be found at <
https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=60493247>

The decision on Sub Team  leadership is the first consensus decision the
group needs to make.

Please think about becoming a leader or co-leader of this Sub Team and
volunteer.

3) Discussion on Sub Team meeting schedule.  The current plan it to
rotate all the Sub Team meetings among three time slots: 0300 UTC,
15UTC, and 20UTC across all 5 days of the week.  Each team will be
expected to meet at least every other week, but will be able to meet
more often if the Sub Team decides it is necessary.  While scheduling
outside these two time bands is theoretically possible, the current
schedule of other meetings with ICANN makes that challenging. It is also
possible to add a third time band or to stick to a single 1 time slot as
the Sub Team decides.

4) Walk through the work items for the Sub Team.  These are found at
<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=60490779>

Among the first tasks of the Sub Team will be to decide:

 * how they want to work through the issues,
 * to look at prioritization of issues
 * to refine the schedule currently posted for these activities. The
current schedule is found at:


<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/58001972/Policy%20Development%20Next%20Phase%20New%20gTLD%20-%20FY16-FY17%20Gantt%20Chart%20%282%29.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1464724382000&api=v2>

In this first meeting we will only talk through the work items for
clarification, the work will start in earnest with the next meeting, but
it would be good to keep these issues in mind.

5) AOB - if there is time.
