<p>I agree that one size cannot fit all, but the general info about
NCSG must be there and the website needs to be updated with new
comments. I think we have fallen away from a standard format
partly because ICANN staff have been experimenting with new
formats themselves....e.g. these wretched google forms that only
accept so many words in a box,, forms that preclude you commenting
on material that they do not include in their form. In these
cases, we need to return to a standard prose document that
compiles all our responses to the questions that were not asked,
ones we wish to raise.</p>
<p>I am very sorry to disappoint Judith and Remmie but this thing
deserved a lot more of our attention.<br>

<p>cheers Stephanie<br>

<div>Dear policy members,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I want to take the opportunity to officially welcome
the new members to the 2024 Policy Committee. If like
most, it's been a while since you read the NCSG charter, I
want to use this opportunity to remind all of us what the
roles and responsibility of the Policy Committee is.</div>
<div>
<p><strong><i>2.5 The Policy Committee</i></strong></p>
<p><i>The NCSG Policy Committee is responsible for:</i></p>
<ol>
<li><i>Discussion and development of substantive
policies and statements issued in the name of the
NCSG. This activity will require coordination with
the membership and the Constituencies;</i></li>
<li><i>Organize policy initiatives on behalf of NCSG
membership, including PDP initiatives from the
membership;</i></li>
<li><i>Provide policy research and guidance to NCSG
representatives on the GNSO Council;</i></li>
<li><i>Keep membership informed of GNSO Council
activities;</i></li>
<li><i>Organize, appoint where appropriate, and track
NCSG participation in GNSO and other pertinent
Working Groups.</i></li>
<li><i>Organization and oversight of NCSG participation
in any GNSO Council-related tasks, whether mandated
by Bylaws, Council Procedures or Council decisions.</i></li>
<li><i>Document methods and procedures used for
decision-making. Such documentation is subject to
review by the NCSG‑EC.</i></li>
</ol>
</div>
<div>There have been many suggestions over the years with
regards to updating or improving some aspects of our
methods & procedures, and I believe <a class="gmail_plusreply" id="m_-1448599550791731690plusReplyChip-1" href="mailto:julf@julf.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" moz-do-not-send="true">@Johan
Helsingius</a> also have some suggestions but the one I
wanted to bring to your immediate attention is a possible
template for public comments.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b><u>PUBLIC COMMENT TEMPLATE</u></b><br>
</div>
<div>In the past (as far as I can recollect), we've simply
used past comments as a template for new comments, though
not explicit. Considering that different submitted
comments have different structures, newcommers have
expressed frustration and how quick it is to work out how
we expect penholders to structure comments. With that in
mind, I thought I'd solicit your views on a proposal to
create a public comment template and if agreeable, I'd
like to have a few people volunteer to build such a
template for PC endorsement.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please respond with your thoughts and suggestions.<br>
