I say again, I find it neither useful or edifying to go over, ad nauseam, purposes.  Enough good minds have traveled that road.  Let's cut to the chase and move this along.

Look, it is arguable that 'purpose' was never defined in as many letters in context. But as an alternative, we can derive a decent meaning from the exhaustively documented use cases.  To everything "there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" it goes; the believers among us will know the origin.   

We have the support of truly able staff capable of triangulating and developing a comprehensive listing for proffer.  And those of us given to pernickety can cavil/suggest additions/emendations, as appropriate.  I would suggest we spend time looking at the limitations, as could be construed from all these use cases we can find and develop a principle to address that.

Best,

Hello all,

Today's updated purpose team checklist (attached) was just posted to the wiki at:

Just follow the link above if you're looking for the latest daily update of any team's checklist.

As noted below, there are still plenty of docs to volunteer to review!

Best, Lisa

As discussed during today's WG call...

Two weeks ago, many WG members volunteered to help identify and summarize input documents and relevant background to educate the full WG and inform finalization of the RDS PDP WG work plan.

Thanks to all who have volunteered already. Now let's get going on completing this task!

To help us keep track of identified inputs, assignments, and summaries, staff has created input checklists for all three teams. The latest versions are posted daily at https://community.icann.org/x/p4xlAw

Why? It's essential that this initial effort be completed without delay so that our PDP WG can continue in full group mode to complete tasks required at the start of every PDP: a work plan and early outreach to SO/ACs and SG/Cs. Once we reach that point, the full WG can begin deliberations.

To achieve this and distribute workload, the leadership team has drafted the following plan:

1)      Between now and end-of-day Wednesday 6 April, every volunteer is asked to review their small team’s input checklist and offer to review and summarize at least one input (can be an input already identified or new). Email each summary to your own small team no later than Monday 11 April.

2)      On Thursday 7 April, team leaders will assign any documents identified but not yet taken to volunteers still without assignments. If you find yourself assigned a document that you are unable to summarize, let your team lead know immediately so that an alternative assignment can be made.

3)      Summarization progress will be assessed during the Tuesday 12 April WG call, where we will agree on a plan to consolidate small team outputs into templates to be presented to the full WG in April.

4)      By the end of April, the full WG will resume discussion of its work plan as well as approving a message to SO/ACs and SG/Cs to initiate early outreach, which may seek feedback on the completeness of inputs identified in the Issue Report and by the WG through this small team effort.

The most recent checklist is attached for your convenience. Please visit https://community.icann.org/x/p4xlAw for the most current version each day.
