[PC-NCSG] NCSG-PC Work for 2015

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi,

A regular/monthly topic call sounds like a good idea, especially if it draws interest and participation from a wider membership base. However, if I recall correctly, the IANA stewardship call didn?t have too many participants who were not already engaged in the CWG. Still a worthwhile endeavour, I believe.

Thanks.

Amr

>> 
>> 1. Keeping a close eye on open public comment periods; with announcements (+ reminders) to the PC list to determine which issues are important to our membership, and identifying who would take the lead on each open issue. There are obviously some open issues on the table right now, especially in the aftermath of the NCPH intercessional in DC, that I will try to address in separate emails.
>> 
>> 2. Sync that with a schedule on getting comments drafted and approved by the committee. I don?t see a reason to change the current consensus building approach we now use. Silence = consent, unless there are thoughts to the contrary.
>> 
>> 3. Following up with NCSG members in various GNSO WGs/CWGs. This is important from a PC perspective to prep comments when asked similar to public comment periods. This does not mean I personally plan to update the NCSG wiki space on ongoing PDPs, but at least make sure there is some initiative for NCSG to submit comments when comments are asked for by the different working groups.
>> 
>> 4. Asking councillors to take lead on prepping short briefs of motions before council to be delivered to the general membership prior to every monthly NCSG policy call. I know this is more council work than it is PC stuff, but all the councillors are on the PC. Apart from raising awareness on various GNSO policy recommendations amongst the NCSG membership, I?m hoping this will also help inform councillors who are not as up to speed on all of the motions on the meetings? agendas.
>> 
>> 5. I will obviously need to help set agendas for the PC meetings that take place at the ICANN public meetings; the first being next month in Singapore.
>> 
>> 6. I would like at least one alternate chair to pick up the slack when/if necessary.
>> 
>> Those are what I?ve come up with. Feedback from all of you would be highly appreciated.
>> 
>> Thanks.
