[PC-NCSG] Duties of the NCSG-PC Chair and Alternate Chair

[Robin Gross]

In February of this year, the NCSG-PC agreed to the accept the following 4 basic duties for the NCSG-PC Chair and Alt. Chair.  Perhaps we want to re-work these a little or add or subtract some, etc.  But here's a starting place.

1.  Comment Periods
Keep track of ICANN public comment periods and assist with drafting  
and filing of member comments in coordination with NCSG-PC members,  
NCSG working group representatives and other NCSG members and  
constituencies.  This means encouraging both individual NCSG members  
to file individual comments and also the drafting and filing of  
official NCSG statements.  For NCSG statements, NCSG-PC Chair will  
call for "rough consensus" of NCSG-PC members regarding any  
particular statement and determine the reaching of rough consensus as  
per NCSG Charter.

2. Other NCSG Statements
Organize the drafting of other policy statements made in NCSG's name  
including the specific policy issue summaries requested by CEO (aka  
"policy cheat sheets").  NCSG-Chair does not have to personally "hold  
the drafting pen" on every statement, but rather, the Chair will  
recruit the person responsible for holding the drafting pen on any  
particular statement.

3.  Working Groups
Keep track of GNSO and other ICANN policy working groups and  
encourage participation from NCSG members in those policy working  
groups.  Endeavor to find adequate NCSG member participation and  
other noncommercial expertise in the policy working groups of concern  
to NCSG members.

4.NCSG Policy Calls
Participate in the monthly NCSG Policy calls and send out a brief  
"voting guide" after the call to NCSG-PC members to summarize  
discussions on how NCSG GNSO Councilors intend to vote on motions  
pending before the next GNSO Council Meeting.

and perhaps we should ask the chair / alt chair to CHAIR the policy calls, (not only participate).
