Dear All ..
I have paused our FAQ discussions based on what Alissa
suggested, in her email dated 27 October, 2014:
"I think beyond the FAQ text (and probably before we add
the new text to the FAQ web site), the main thing we need to agree on as the ICG
is the full list of what our plans, requirements, and expectations are vis a vis
the proposal submission process."
Yet, before we lose track, I'm attaching (also on Dropbox)
a version, dated 24Nov14, which I hope accurately reflects all previous
discussions .. I suggest that, as we have agreed that the FAQ is going to be a
living document, that we do not delay its posting pending finalization of
discussions on all questions .. As a living document, it's hard to have a
complete perfect version all the time .. Additionally, the FAQ has to provide
timely information and some questions are more urgent than others .. So my
suggestion is that, as we continue discussion on the Board role, if the current
answer is still unsatisfactory to some, we can proceed with other updates such
as Q#19 on whether the target deadline has been delayed, and Q#22 on the
relationship between the ICG work and the ICANN accountability process
..
If acceptable, I would hence suggest that ICG members skim
through the track changes and identify any questions were there are still
concerns or uncompleted discussions .. We can then halt updates concerning those
specific questions and proceed with the rest ..
I think we should also have some way to highlight new or
modified questions as well as the date of last update, on the online version
..
How does this sound?
Looking forward to receiving your views and any other
suggestions for better ways forward ..
Kind Regards
