Some bullet-points from an exchange between CSG and NCSG representatives outlining a potential draft process.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">2. The latest version of the ICANN Staff Memo with a revised draft timeline and some relevant excerpts from Bylaws and GNSO Procedures.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">3. A further excerpt from the Bylaws, with Section 11.3(f), which covers the selection process for Seats 13-14 (to the extent that is covered in the Bylaws), and Section 11.3(h), which is referred to in Section 11.3(f).</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">A few thoughts and comments:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">A. We only have 10 1/2 weeks to both develop and go through a process that is contemplated to take 21 weeks (just to go through). Talk about building the airplane in the air.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">B. At the Intersessional, we discussed possible adjustments to the timeline, but did not come to any decisions. It's not clear to me whether Staff is preparing a further revised draft. I'll ask.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">C. If any of our groups have not already done so, we should put out a call for any other nominations ASAP (though it would be nice to know the end of the nomination period).</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">D. Without making any judgments, the CPH process and the NCPH bullet-points are significantly different when it comes to voting.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">E. We should figure out how to get this process agreed as quickly as possible. Given the unusual circumstances, we don't need to use this process as precedent for any future process. We just need to get through this selection. One approach is for NCSG to respond to the draft sent at the end of the Intersessional. However, given the gap between that and the bullet-points, it might just be better to arrange a call/Adobe Connect session ASAP to move the ball forward.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Thanks for reading,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Greg</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">P.S. It's not all that important how we got here, but nonetheless, it should be noted that the GNSO Procedures were never updated from 2012, when the Bylaws deadline for naming the Director was changed from one month to two months (briefly) and then six months prior to being seated. (The GNSO Procedures will need to be updated in any event, since the Bylaws references are now obsolete.)) The draft bullet-points repeated this error.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">B.
