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.
