GSNO Learn modules
by Lars Hoffmann Sept. 9, 2015

Sept. 9, 2015

Dear all, I hope this finds you all well. I would like to re-activate this PDP Improvement Discussion Group to hopefully gather some community input/support of the GNSO Learn course that staff is currently working on. Before I send you any substantive items, I wanted to confirm that all that are part of this list would like to remain part of the Discussion Group and would be willing to support this effort as much as their time permits. Therefore, a quick reply indicating whether you would like to remain or be removed from the list would be much appreciated. Depending on the number of community members able to contribute we might also post a call for additional volunteers to the usual SG/C and GNSO Council lists. Many thanks and very best wishes, Lars

GNSO PDP Improvements - next steps
by Marika Konings April 22, 2014

April 22, 2014

Dear All, Following our informal conversation in Singapore, it is time to reconvene and start looking at the task assigned to this group which is to: 1. Review existing outreach efforts and determine whether there are any actions the GNSO Council should be taking to increase the pool of PDP volunteers (Item 3 Increase pool of WG volunteers) 2. Review existing online tools & training efforts and determine whether there are any additional actions should be taken by the GNSO Council and/or provide input on how existing activities may be further improved / modified in order to contribute to the success of the PDP (Item 5 Improved tools & online training) In order to facilitate this conversation, I've put some initial information together in the attached document as well as some possible next steps for your review and consideration. Please let me know if you think it will be helpful to schedule a conference call to discuss further, or whether you prefer to provide feedback and continue the conversation on the mailing list. Thanks, Marika

an announcement from Mikey -- i'm retiring from ICANN
by Mike O'Connor April 7, 2014

April 7, 2014

dear all, just a quick note to let you know that i am retiring from ICANN. right now. how about that? it’s spring here at the farm and i’ve realized that it’s time for me to redirect my attention to things closer to home and heart. as you can see by the number of mailing lists this note is addressed to, i’ve spread myself too thin. somewhere along the line i burned myself out. i never was very good at seeing this “burnout" thing coming. oops... as to the “immediately” timeframe — well, i’m burned out. which means that the prospect of ICANN-related work just leaves me cold. so rather than drag myself (and you) through some half-baked transition period where i do an even worse job than i’ve been doing lately, i’m just making a clean break of it. it will turn out fine. you’ll see. as of this note i’m setting down all the trappings. GNSO Councillor, ISPCP support, the working groups, all the leadership-development and newcomer-orientation projects. i’m not throwing them down, just placing them gently there for somebody else to pick up and run with. this is the place where i’m supposed to write about how i’ll miss you all. but i’m not going to do that. through the miracle of this Internet thing, i plan to stay connected to you and maintain all those friendships that have developed over the years. i’m just stopping the work, not the relationships. maybe some day i’ll even dip my toe back into a working group or two. but not right away. right now that goes on the Too Hard pile. here’s a link to a pictorial tour of the farm. http://www.aprairiehaven.com/?page_id=23369 see that bench? that’s where i’ll be sitting, thinking of you. come visit. Marcie and i will show you around. onward, mikey PHONE: 651-647-6109, FAX: 866-280-2356, WEB: www.haven2.com, HANDLE: OConnorStP (ID for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.)

GNSO PDP Improvements
by Marika Konings March 23, 2014

March 23, 2014

Dan, Gabriela, Klaus, Mikey, Thank you very much for volunteering to join the GNSO PDP Improvements Discussion Group. As indicated, we are especially looking for your assistance in relation to item 3 (increase pool of PDP volunteers) and 5 (improved online tools and training) of the proposed PDP Improvements (see latest version attached). As it is probably difficult to schedule a call before everyone departs before Singapore, how about trying to find some F2F time when we are all there? I could try to find a room or we could try to find a quiet corner? Are there any days that work better than others? For example, would Sunday after 16.30 work, or are you meeting with your respective SG/C? Best regards, Marika

Hi Gabriela, Please feel free to use the mailing list that has been created for this group (gnso-pdp-impl(a)icann.org) which includes all the Council members that have signed up so far (I don't think I saw Amr's name, but I may have missed it). Regarding speaking to the fellows, at this stage the PDP Improvements efforts foresees reviewing existing efforts and make recommendations on the basis of that. Reaching out to the fellows may be one of those recommendations, but it might be too early to act on that now? FYI, a policy update is already provided as part of the newcomer session on Sunday which also includes the fellows.
