It’s a lot of heavy lifting to be chair of PC, Vice-chair of the council AND council liaison to the EPDP at the same time. Your work is more than commendable and I don’t think NCSG could thank you enough.</div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class="">Secondly, I’d like to welcome our vibrant new PC members, Liz and Olga I very much look forward to working with you. And of course James and Juan! Welcome aboard team!</div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class="">Having said that, I would definitely support a call for the PC but with very sharp questions to ask and good preparation. Maybe each of us could send in 3 questions that we’d like to be answered on our call, and write pointers down as to what the best way forward could be. If I may also suggest if, Rafik, you could maybe jot down the tasks you have been doing as PC Chair outside of the description in our mandate? It could be helpful to understand the workload and would also hone in our conversation much more efficiently.</div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class="">I could create a doodle poll for us to decide on the most appropriate time for a call if this would be helpful! Let me know :)</div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class="">Hope my two cents help!

I think it is good opportunity now to discuss next steps and plan. It is also important to work as team and think about our role and duties as outlined in the charter and the expectations from NCSG members.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">A first action would be the election of a NCSG PC chair and agree on the process. It will be good to document the process for the future and one thing to add to the PC operating procedures project (on hold for a while and I will share the draft soon). The election will happen within PC members. With regard to charter provision for reference:</div><div class="">"<strong style="color:rgb(23,43,77);font-family:-apple-system,system-ui,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,"Fira Sans","Droid Sans","Helvetica Neue",sans-serif" class="">2.5.3.

So thinking about transition in a way or another is critical. One way experimented before is also to have vice-chairs as the charter permits at least in term of workload.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Another would be to think strategically for PC work for this year and not just on whatever tasks or deadlines comes to us. GNSO council had its SPS meeting last week and there were a lot of discussions about priorities and that will come to us as SG soon where we need to define our policy priorities for this year and share our input to council. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Please let me know about your suggestions/ideas. Currently the monthly policy call is not a PC call per se but we can think if we need our separate call to brainstorming and conduct our business. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Rafik </div></div>
