[PC-NCSG] GNSO Review Recommendations 36

[Sam Lanfranco]

PC Cttee,

Am I the only one on the Policy Committee who sees the wording of GNSO 
Review recommendation 36 as giving the Board almost unrestricted power 
to reject GNSO policy on the grounds that, in the Board's view, the PDP 
Working Group did not reflect adequate diversity? Or am I missing 
something here?

I have no idea what is meant by "..reasonably practical", nor do I 
understand what remedial options are open to the GNSO should the board 
refuse to approve GNSO Policy on these grounds.

I would suggest proposing dropping the second sentence in the 
recommendation.

Enlightenment?

Sam L.

Recommendation 36 (R36): That, when approving the formation of a PDP WG, 
the GNSO Council require that its membership represent as far as
reasonably practical the geographic, cultural and gender diversity of
the Internet as a whole. Additionally, that when approving GNSO Policy,
the ICANN Board explicitly satisfy itself that the GNSO Council
undertook these actions when approving the formation of a PDP WG.
