First I want to thank Milton for reporting out the issues that the
coordination group (CG) will be dealing with at the start, and look
forward to ongoing reporting back the constituency.
With regard to GAC asking for greater representation, I would suggest
that GAC be reminded that this is a coordination group charged with
coordinating submissions and proposals and its members have two
responsibilities. One is to exercise that charge and the other is to
help the committee keep all stakeholders involved. The GAC members on
the committee have those same responsibilities and if, by chance, there
are a wide variety of opinions across GAC members about how the proposal
is developing, individual GAC members, like all other stakeholders, are
free and welcomed to make their positions known directly to the
coordination group through their submissions. This is how the process is
facilitated and nobody should view it as a roadblock, they should view
it as an opportunity.
The key task of the coordination committee is, of course, to pull the
submissions into proposal format, which may or may not be a proposal in
which all issues are settled. It may be a proposal with a set of issues
yet to be settled by ICANN's multistakeholder process. That would be a
reasonable outcome.
With respect to the transition scope and expectations about work in the
communities, I will repeat that the coordination process should produce
its best version of a transition proposal, but it may also produce a
list of issues that require further deliberation to be resolved. It
might produce a Green Paper that that details some of the specific
issues, points out possible courses of action, and makes a suggested
transition proposal as a starting point for round two of reasoned
dialogue between stakeholder constituencies and others. Round two
produced the White Paper proposals.
