Thanks Mary. No, I hadn’t made any edits to the document. Just used it to review as I grouped the comments into the three buckets.
Does anybody on the sub-team have any objection to dividing the work this way? Or, if not, to my initial tentative placement of each of the comments into those three buckets? I’m certainly open to any suggestions
that a comment that I had read/understood as going in Bucket One should instead be grouped in Bucket Two, etc. If not, shall we divide up to start reviewing these in more detail so that we can be ready to present by next Tuesday? I’ll go first and am happy
to take the 24 comments in Bucket Two (plus Turner’s, which would make 25). Anybody want to join me? Anybody want to volunteer for the 31 comments in Bucket One or the 21 in Bucket 3? Thanks all!

Hello Todd and everyone,
Welcome to the Sub Team 3 (Annex E) mailing list!
Todd - I think you just found an omission from staff (me), for which I apologize. I definitely had the Turner comment in my compilation of comments and documents, but I think what happened is that
in formatting the table for the Word document I somehow managed to edit that out. I am very sorry, and thanks for noting it! This is exactly why staff welcomes WG members’ questions, and why we emphasize that our compilation/edits don’t replace WG members’
reading the comments themselves if possible. At the same time, I do hope you all know that we try our best to do as thorough and comprehensive a job as possible, so a combination of our efforts and a WG’s/Sub Team’s eagle eyes is the best arrangement.
Basically, we read through all the comments that appeared to address specific recommendations and/or open questions, and we also read all the online template responses that do the same. The Word
document is therefore the compilation of all of these, tailored to each Sub Team (or the full WG, as appropriate). I’ve taken a quick look through my documents/collected comments and don’t believe I have missed out any others; however, I will do a more thorough
check shortly on all the Word documents I’ve compiled to date for all the Sub Teams, just to be sure.
On the approach - from the staff perspective, Todd’s suggested approach seems to make sense, and would align pretty well with what we ourselves would probably have suggested. You could start with
two smaller groups to tackle the two categories suggested, based on Todd’s initial sweep, and in doing so also note any comments that didn’t address either – so that they can either be referred to the appropriate Sub Team (if any) or considered by the full
WG (if appropriate).
BTW, Todd, maybe it’s my machine or more likely that I haven’t looked through it in detail, but I’m not seeing your comments/additions/edits in the document you circulated …. ?
Thanks for kicking things off, and do let me know if you need assistance from staff in any way!
Cheers
Mary

Subject: [Gnso-ppsai3] Thoughts on a work plan
Am I the first to try this out? Cool.
As I mentioned in my email on Tuesday (attached), I thought that the presentation that we had on our last call from the 1.3.2 sub-team was helpful to illustrate where we’ll need to be by 8-11, which in turn might help us decide what we’ll need to do to get there. Specifically, I thought it helped that the 1.3.2 sub-team divided their work into two basic questions, and then presented separately on each. I’d recommend that we do the same. Here are the two that I’d propose:
1) Those comments that rejected the premise of Annex E, and instead argued that P/P Providers can never disclose and/or publish absent a court order, subpoena, or other legal process authorizing them to do so. Presumably this group would present on:
· How many of these comments were there?
· Who did they come from?
· What arguments did they make?
· What ramifications would these arguments have on other portions of the Initial Report beyond Annex E?
2) Those comments that accepted the premise of Annex E that P/P Providers can sometimes disclose and/or publish absent a court order, subpoena, or other legal process, but then offered thoughts as to whether and how the Disclosure Framework outlined in Annex E ought to be modified. Presumably this group would present on:
· How many of these comments were there?
· Who did they come from?
· What arguments did they make?
· What potential changes to Annex E could the WG make to address the arguments raised in these comments?
I offer those two buckets for a couple of reasons. First, I think it will help our sub-team “divide and conquer” the work that we have before us (much like the 1.3.2 sub-team did). Second, I’m not really sure how we’d otherwise substantively reconcile those two buckets of comments. A comment that argues that P/P Providers should not be allowed to disclose and/or publish absent a court order isn’t arguing for changes to Annex E; it’s arguing to scrap Annex E altogether.
With those two buckets in mind, I’ve taken a first pass through the comments in the Review Tool Word Document that Mary circulated (attached). My thoughts below. First, can everybody double-check to make sure that they agree with how I’ve tentatively divided the comments? Once we’re comfortable with that allocation, then perhaps the next step would be to divide our sub-team into two (or three, if some members want to tackle the third “unclear” category) to start reviewing the comments in each bucket and then drafting two documents to present to the WG answering the questions outlined above (and any other questions that anybody wants to suggest).
Finally, one last question for Staff: can you give us a little bit of information on the methodology of how the attached Word document was compiled? I’m just curious because I want to make sure that our sub-team is comfortable that what we are reviewing is exhaustive. For example, I know that Turner’s comment (available here: http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-ppsai-initial-05may15/pdfrXQ3VcnSR7.pdf) had some thoughts on Annex E. Yet it wasn’t included in the attached. And I only know that it mentions Annex E because I drafted it. J So I want to make sure that there aren’t other comments on Annex E that we also ought to be reviewing.
Thanks. Look forward to working with everybody.
Todd.
