[PC-NCSG] Council Meeting of March 15th

[Edward Morris]

Hello everyone,
  
 This evening Matt Shears, Stefania Milan and myself spent approximately 
two hours going over about half of the response to the GNSO Bylaws Drafting 
Team Report (DT). We'll do the other half tomorrow.
  
 What became clear to the three of us is the dependency of the DT processes 
on the proposed GNSO Standing Selection Committee (SSC), and vice versa. It 
is as blatant as DT staff recommendations that certain statements 
pertaining to selection processes be placed within the SSC Charter. They 
have not been. There was also the perception of the three of us that there 
may be certain specifications relating to the Empowered Community that may 
need to be placed within the SSC Charter.
  
 It is for these reasons that I intend to call for Item 4 on the agenda for 
Wednesday's Council meeting, approval of the SSC Charter,  to be deferred 
or withdrawn. I will further recommend that the Drafting Team be asked to 
send to the small group that has been tasked with creating  the SSC 
specifications any and all provisions it believes should be included in the 
SSC Charter and for the small group, working with staff, to adjust the 
Charter proposal accordingly.
  
 This is not what anyone wants. We have appointments that need to be made 
and they may once again need to be done on an ad hoc basis. Yet what we're 
creating now is intended to be a somewhat permanent part of the GNSO 
landscape. I'd suggest it is better to get it done right rather than fast.
  
 Happy to answer any questions.
  
 Best,
  
 Ed Morris
